  • Manual transmission
  • miles
The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet caviler. On the steering column where the contact tilted the steering wheel there was a pin that held the steering column and this fell out, and the steering column was moving around inside the dashboard. The manufacturer stated that the part was irreplaceable. The dealership and the manufacturer did not want to fix the vehicle because it had too many miles.
