2015 Chevrolet Cruze Steering

The steering wheel will intermittently "stick" requiring a slight tug to release.

Without warning, the mylink display first went black as i was making a left turn and disconnected from bluetooth. Within seconds the steering wheel got really stiff and it almost felt like the whole power shut off from the car but came back to normal within seconds and kept doing this for 3 more times, each lasting maybe 5 seconds. Very scary.

VEHICLE STARTED TO DISPLAY "SERVICE STABILITRAK" ON DIC PANEL AFTER RUNNING THROUGH A PUDDLE ON A FREEWAY ONRAMP. ALSO, FROM TIME TO TIME, WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, YOU CAN FEEL A SUDDEN JOLT OR POP (WHEEL GETS EASY TO TURN FOR A COUPLE OF INCHES OF TRAVEL). POPPING CHIEFLY HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY READ C0710 AND C055C CODES. ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW STEERING GEAR. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OR TURNING THERE WAS A SLIGHT GLITCH OR HESITATION IN STEERING.

STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE. I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY; AFTER PUTTING IT IN "DRIVE" THE CAR FISHTAILED AND THE "SERVICE STEERING WHEEL" MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH. I BROUGHT IT TO SIMPSON CHEVROLET AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE "STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE" AND REPLACED THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. THEY STATED THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING OR YOU ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, YOU CAN PLAY A GAME ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AND YOU FEEL A FEW BLOWS AND THUNDERS THAT ARE REALLY WORRYING BECAUSE I TAKE A LOT OF THE TRACK FOR AND WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. AS A RESULT OF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING, THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF AND THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT A WHILE FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, IT ALSO CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FH DAILEY CHEVROLET DEALER (800 DAVIS ST, SAN LEANDRO, CA), BUT THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

CRUZE ECO STEERING STICKS WHEN DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF NO INPUT. THEN WHEN YOU TURN IT STICKS AND THEN JERKS A BIT WHEN IT FREES UP. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN ROADS ARE ICY OR IF THIS GETS WORSE. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET INFORMATION OR REPAIR FROM DEALER.

STEERING SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN STRAIGHT LINE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND WHEN TRYING TO TURN TO GO WITH CURVE OF THE ROAD YOU FEEL RESISTANCE AND THEN SUDDENLY GOES WAY MAKING YOU SWERVE FROM MIDDLE OF LANE TO OUTSIDE OF LANE SCARRING NOT ONLY YOU BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE WAS NOT DETERMINED. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONTUSION TO THE CHEST. THE REAR PASSENGERS AND DRIVER SUSTAINED CONCUSSIONS TO THE HEAD. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WE JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR SATURDAY 28 MAY '16, AND DROVE IT OFF THE DEALER LOT AT 5:09PM. WITHIN 2 HOURS, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 60-75MPH, THE STEERING BEGAN TO CATCH & STICK IN PLACE. WE HAD TO JERK THE WHEEL RATHER FORCEFULLY TO GET IT TO CUT LOOSE & ALLOW US, A HUMAN, TO ONCE AGAIN GAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING OF THIS CAR. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AGAIN, THE SAME THING, ONLY THIS TIME, THE WIND GUST BLEW SO HARD IT BLEW THE CAR INTO THE OTHER LANE! THANK GOD, THERE WAS NO ONE IN THAT LANE AT THAT MOMENT. THIS IS ALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR'S COMPUTERIZED STEERING SYSTEM WOULD NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO CORRECT THE STEERING WHEN INCURRING WIND PRESSURE! YOU FOLKS AT NHTSA, AS WELL AS GM, KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM & YET EVEN NHTSA REP, CATHERINE HOWDEN, IMPLIED ITS NOT DANGEROUS AND DOES NOT WARRANT A RECALL WHEN SHE STATED: "...THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED WOULD BE A BRIEF, PERCEPTIBLE CHANGE IN STEERING FEEL THAT HAS LITTLE TO NO EFFECT ON THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO SAFELY STEER THE VEHICLE." BS!! YOU DRIVE ONE OF THESE CARS OUT ON THE FREEWAY. PUT YOUR PRECIOUS FAMILY IN IT & THEN TELL ME IT'S SAFE! THIS HAS THE FAMILIAR STENCH OF BRIBERY WRITTEN ALL OVER IT! TO TOP IT ALL OFF; AS SOON AS THE SHOPS OPENED TUESDAY, I TOOK THIS CAR INTO A SHOP THAT I KNOW I CAN TRUST, TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY WERE STRAIGHT UP & TOLD ME "THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING THAT CHEVY MAKES. IT'S THEIR COMPUTER PROBLEM & THEY HAVE TO FIX IT. WE DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS." I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THAT DAY & THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT! WHY? BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO THE CLERK AT SMITH CHEVROLET, LUKE, THEY DROVE IT 8 MILES AND IT DIDN'T CATCH FOR THEM. WHAT A JOKE!! IT HAS ALREADY BEEN WELL ESTABLISHED THAT THE CAR HAS TO BE DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR BEFORE THIS WILL HAPPEN. WHERE IS YOUR CONSCIENCE? FIX THIS!! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!
