I am just trying to explain the folks who seem to have a bunch of probems vs the 75% who haven't... ???

Can anyone who had the column lock probem comment on this? I use the 'easy entry option' which moves the seat back before you get out and moves it back after the key is in, I rarely crank my wheels to one side when I park. Basically after the car is off the wheel rarely sees any stress. I am wondering if there is any correlation to failure rate and parking with the wheels turned frequently or grabbing the wheel while off stressing the poor design...
