DRIVING ALONG AT 8:30 PM ( DARKNESS) AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. HIGH BEAMS WORKED, NO LOW BEAM. VERY DANGEROUS. I TRIED THE MANUAL SWITCHES AND COULD NOT GET THE LOW BEAMS TO TURN ON. HAD TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS TO GET HOME.
AS I WAS ENTERING AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE FREEWAY, BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE SPEED, FOR SOME REASON I PULLED BACK ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND DISCOVERED THE TILT WAS NOT WORKING AND THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL ALONG WITH THE COLUMN PULLED BACK NEARLY SIX INCHES, AS IF WOULD DETACH.
THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE ELECTRIC LOCKS APPEAR TO BE FINE BUT THE DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN THE DOOR FORM THE INSIDE OR OUT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY RISK AS EGRESS WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE IN A FIRE/CRASH. *TR
