“I was driving up my driveway at a speed of about 3 miles per hour when the steering wheel literally fell into my lap. The car was unsteerable. I had just moved to nh and called th elocal dealer.....fairfield in keene. They came out and flatbedded the car to the shop. 4 weeks later after they located the parts I was told that the collar that holds the steering column had broke and that this should never had happened unless I was in a head on collision and the airbags deployed. This could have been a very dangerous situation if I had been driving down the highway at a higher speed. …”
