| 2012 | STEERING | 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. *TR |
| 2012 | STEERING | I NOTICED RECENTLY THE CAR HAS STEERING ISSUES THAT WERE NOT THERE BEFORE. BASICALLY THE CAR STARTS TO DRIFT, IT WILL START TO PULL IN ONE DIRECTION AND WHEN I CORRECT IT ITS LIKE IT JERKS TO THE OTHER DIRECTION. IT'S NOT A VIOLENT JERK BUT VERY NOTICEABLE. ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT STICKS IN A CERTAIN SPOT. THAT'S REALLY THE BEST I CAN EXPLAIN IT BUT IT WAS NOTICEABLE RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY TO GET IT LOOKED AT. I HOPE THEY CAN FIGURE IT OUT. I LOVE THE CAR BUT IT FEELS UNSAFE RIGHT NOW. *TR |
