I was having the same problem with my 2006. The dealer checked it out twice and said that they couldn't replicate the problem, never heard of it, etc. I just lived with it since it wasn't that big of a deal to remember to push the locking lever up every so often.
One day, I hit a nasty pothole when the lever must not have been all the way locked in. The resulting impact unlocked the steering column and caused the column to collapse. The wheel slipped out of my hands and I almost hit the car in the next lane by the time I was able to grab it and swerve back.
Enough was enough.
I took the car back to the dealer, along with printouts from the net where other people were complaining about the problem. I told them it was a serious safety issue and I was not messing around with it anymore.
Two days later, I drove away with a brand new steering column under the extended warranty. The new one locks TIGHT! It hasn't budged.
Hope this helps!
