Q: 2000 dodge neon steering wheel has fallen onto my knee.

asked by on August 07, 2017

The steering wheel adjustment bolts have broken off and I am wondering if it is possible to replace either the bolt holes or if I have to replace the whole steering column. The steering wheel now permanently sits all the way down on my left knee while I drive and I do not feel this to be safe.

My car has 100000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
