Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The steering wheel adjustment pins keep falling out causing the wheel to wobble. there are two pins that keep falling out, we remove the wheel in order to put them back in place, however they continue to come out. i t is very dangerous when it happens during driving . the wheel almost sits on my lap. please let me know what i can do. these pins have many screwdriver marks, which makes me think that the previous owner may have had the same problem, and someone fixed it temporarily. i do not want to take it to the dealer for they are asking an outrageous amount to look into it. please tell me if there is a way we can fix it ourselves, for we do almost any type of mechanical work. thank you very much for your time and thanks in advance for your help. sincerely, mrs. grubbs
