The entire column dropped down from its mounting brackets, causing loss of control. This is a serious safety hazard. The mount bolts were intact previously, but they came loose or the bracket failed without warning. This could have resulted in a crash and severe injury. I believe this may be a structural or manufacturing defect and could affect other Lancer vehicles of similar year. I performed a temporary repair myself so the vehicle could be moved safely, but this does NOT solve the underlying problem. The original steering column mounting should not have failed under normal use.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2005","productMake":"MITSUBISHI","productModel":"LANCER","manufacturer":"Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc."}]}]}
