Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My miata was hit in the front left side by a gmc pickup which was traveling at least 35 mph. i was pulling out of a parking lot, so my speed was minimal. both airbags deployed, and the steering wheel came completely off the column. the car was determined to be a total loss. i have not heard of a steering wheel breaking away from the column with the deployment of an airbag. is this a defect in the vehicle?
