ANyone else have a problem wiht the tilt wheel handle falling down while driving? Its quite dangerous when suddenly the wheel falls in your lap while your trying to keep from turning it to hold it back up. The lever just vibrates loose and it falls. Happened like 3 times so far and almost cause a wreck once. Is there an easy fix for this? |

I tow across country and have 63k miles and never happen to me once. I'm guessing if you adjust it a lot of times the lock could wear out. |

I've had it happen to me, if i remember correctly you need to loosen the panel under the steering wheel and then tighten the nut to create a resistance. |

Thanks, i suspected it might be something simple like this but just wondered if it was a common problem. I'll look at it this weekend!
