Description of the problem | Driving in straight line down highway @ +/-50 mph the car begins to drift, as you steer to correct back, the steering wheel has a feel like its stuck or locked and gives the feel like you have to force it back to release it. Almost feels like a dead spot in the steering for lack of a better term. I stated to notice it off and on faintly since maybe around xmas and it has seemingly been getting worse and worse happening more often and more noticeable. Just yesterday i even noticed for the first time the same feeling while just sitting stopped at a red light. Gave the steering wheel a little back and forth motion and it replicated the same stuck feeling / dead stop in the steering. Just did a little bit of checking online and see that i am not the only person experiencing this same thing so i know that im not going crazy. Here is a link i found of others experiencing the same problem... Http://www. Cruzetalk. Com/forum/25-service-issues/9245-odd-steering-2012-cruze-anyone-else-problem. Html. |
