“The contact stated while driving 35mph in normal driving conditions, a popping noise was heard in the steering column. Several seconds later, the steering wheel fell off of the steering column into the contact's lap. The vehicle was stopped and pushed off the road safely. The vehicle was towed to the local dealership for repairs. The dealer replaced the steering column and the steering wheel. The steering operated normally after repairs were made. However, the brakes vibrate and pulsate when the brake pedal is depressed. The vehicle was not inspected for this problem.”
