Loss of headlights when dimmer switched used to dim bright lights resulting in no lights tripping it several times brought lights back and left them on dim until I could get it serviced at cost of approx 400.00 this was about four years ago. Recently tilt column has been difficult to operate now will not lock in position and lights will not work when column is tilted down. Is this a known problem with my vehicle. I bought it new in 94 and am the only driver. I am afraid the steering column will shift unaffectedly and cause me to wreck or cause the motor to stall and lock steering and cause a wreck. Is there a recall for this?
