Driving down the highway, I felt my steering column get loose. After coming to a stop at the gas station, I tried making sure the column adjuster was tight, and it was. The entire steering wheel/column was still loose, and then fell off into my lap. After that, my Tacoma would not start. Radio would not work, and the odometer numbers disappeared.
