Latches/locks/linkage problem #1

I have a 2008 Toyota Avalon. The telescopic steering column will randomly depress. The latch that holds it in place will randomly loosen up and the steering column will go all the way in. I asked my dealer about this and they said it wasn't under warranty. I asked Toyota and they said there had been no recall on this item. Just thought I might mention it with all the other problems Toyota has been having.

Latches/locks/linkage problem #2

Jammed down on the accelerator and it stuck. Had to keep hitting the gas petal with my foot to get it to release. Almost lost control of the car as it continued to accelerate until the petal popped up.
