Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | 2013 chevy cruze at highway speeds seems to have the steering lock or become "sticky". Problem is most noticeable at speeds above 50 mph. It becomes difficult to make minor changes in direction when trying to keep the car in the lane of traffic. The "lock up" seems to be worse when correcting to the left compared to correcting to the right. This becomes a real concern when driving on icy or snow packed roads as i fear a loss of control when overcorrection due to the "sticky" steering. |
