Description of the problem | I have 5500 miles on my 2014 cruze diesel and recently i have noticed a disturbing problem with the steering at highway speeds. There seems to be a "dead" spot in the center of the steering range. It is particularly noticeable when i make a lane change at 65 - 70 mph in traffic. The steering is not tight and precise... It sort of feels sloppy like a high mileage car that has some free play in the steering wheel. It is scary. I have heard that the chevy cruze had problems like this in 2012 and earlier. I assumed that they had corrected the problem. I guess they haven't. |
