Tilt steering comes unlocked!

I have a small problem and I want to take care of it before it becomes a big problem. When I turn my steering wheel fast, the tilt lock unlocks and makes cracking noises and the wheel will tilt up and down! It first happened in a parking lot when I needed to turn suddenly at low speed to avoid hitting someone who backed out of their stall without looking. Well it's happening more and more often, and I'm worried the tilt lock will let go alltogether. How do I go about fixing this? Already searched.

Thanks.
