Steering Column problems of the 2005 Land Rover Range Rover

The steering column will drop while driving. It is a known problem and Land Rover wants $1,900 or more to replace the steering column. I was travelling on the interstate and the steering wheel suddenly dropped on my knees. When I lifted my leg to apply the brakes, it caused the steering wheel to turn, causing me to swerve into traffic. I immediately called the Land Rover dealership and they said they have had complaints but it is not on the recall list. This is very dangerous.

To whom it may concern : my Range Rover was not working for about a month. Having said that, when I went to get it towed I couldn't get the key to turn. The key was locked! furthermore when the dealership did an inspection they said that the steering column module was internally faulty. Just like that, now I'm looking at a 5,000 job! not to mention that this is a major safety issue. In closing, I really think that this should be considered a recall item. I've done some research on this issue and find out that about (1 out of 5 ) Range Rover owners have had this same problem. I really feel that someone should be held accountable! especially when you're charging top dollar for a vehicle and it's not even deemed to be safe. Thanks.
