2013 Chevrolet CRUZE Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1052100
Internal NHTSA #	10576623

Brand	CHEVROLET
Model	CRUZE
Model Year	2013
File date	01/10/13
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The steering wheel/rack has known issues already documented by the nhtsa. When driving, especially at speeds > 50mph, the steering wheel will "lock up" or feel "notchy" without constant driver input. When performing interstate driving you will experience the steering constantly feeling like its locking up until excessive force is used to move the steering wheel (more then a few fingers worth of strength). Definitely unnatural and definitely an issue for a brand new car. Started since 5k miles, vehicle has apprxoimately 15k miles now and the issue is getting progressively worse. Documented online is that the steering rack has a design flaw which allows air inside the steering rack, causing the steering wheel to feel notchy or like it is locking up. Being that the issue is getting worse, i expect there to be a major failure at some point and wanted this documented. Online on chevrolet cruze forums there are hundreds of issues similar to my own and i believe a tsb in chevrolet's database. I am going to attempt to bring the issue to light at the local chevrolet dealership now that i have the time to actually deal with this situation (due to military/government work conflicts). I purchased a full premium warranty with the vehicle when i bought it that covers everything for 100k miles/7 years, so there should be no issues with this request of fixing/replacing the issue.
