Default Telescopic steering wheel problems

Hi, I have a 2006 Crossfire.
The telescopic steering column mechanism is not working properly so sometimes my steering wheel gets pulled back while driving manoeuvres and obviously I can’t adjust it father or closer.
If somebody has had the same problem and solved it I would appreciate you sharing the solution .
Or if you know the name for the part I should look for to change.

Best,

Christian

Sorry I cannot help as like most others I have steered clear of this problem.

Seriously it is the first time I have seen this problem arise, have you studied the Service Manual or looked closely under the steering column to see how it works?

I'v'e been here since 2009 and never heard this one. But it's a mechanical assembly, no Mercedes specialist is likely needed, just someone who is good with mechanical fixes.
That section of the service manual is even more worthless than the rest of the joke of a service manual we are stuck with.

You or someone has to just get in there and find out what is loose/broken.
