Three times while driving, the latch that controls the steering wheel has failed. The steering wheel drops all the way against the dashboard to the lowest position. This always occurs when driving. Making controlling the car difficult. The fix is to replace the entire steering column for over $1200.
Telescopic steering wheel lock fails while driving and steering wheel collapses. Took to Toyota of temecula valley and they said there is no known problem and no TSB. I looked on line there is a TSB for this. This failure of this dealership puts my family's safety at risk.
