2010 Chevrolet Equinox Steering

MY 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX STEERING BINDS UP AFTER THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP. THE BINDING HAPPENS WHEN TURNING SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT FROM A STRAIGHT AHEAD POSITION. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE ABOVE 50 MPH. THE BINDING CAUSES THE DRIVER TO OVER CORRECT AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN WET OR SNOW CONDITIONS. AFTER THE STEERING BEGINS TO BIND, IT INTERMITTENTLY BINDS AT ALL SPEEDS DURING THAT DRIVE. WHEN THE VEHICLE COOLS DOWN THE STEERING RETURNS TO NORMAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON 10-13-2010 AND DEMONSTRATED THE PROBLEM TO THEIR "FRONT END" TECHNICIAN. HE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM BUT HAD NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HE SAID HE WOULD CALL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON 10-19-2010. *TR

I HAD A 'STICKY' STEERING PROBLEM BACK ON JAN. 2010 DURING A TRIP NORTH TO CANADA. IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK ON A LONG TRIP TO SANDUSKY OHIO, AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE! BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE I THINK THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ONLY ON VERY FLAT HIGHWAY IN GOOD CONDITION, SUCH AS THE OHIO TURNPIKE AND 405 IN CANADA. AS SOON AS I GET INTO MICHIGAN (HORRIBLE I75 CONDITION) THE PROBLEM IS NOT NOTICEABLE ANYMORE. *TR

I OWN A 2010 EQUINOX AND WHEN DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT PATH FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THE STEERING WHEEL BINDS UP/STICKS AND I HAVE TO TUG ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO FREE IT. I AM TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER NEXT WEEK FOR FURTHER EVALUATION BUT IT APPEARS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BASED ON INTERNET INFO AND A COUPLE HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH YOUR AGENCY. *TR

I OWN A 2010 EQUINOX AND WHEN DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT PATH FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THE STEERING WHEEL BINDS UP/STICKS AND I HAVE TO TUG ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO FREE IT. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE IT BUT AM FEARFUL OF A SUDDEN FAILURE AT HIGH SPEED WHILE CHANGING LANES, ETC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX IN A STRAIGHT LINE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THE STEERING WHEEL BINDS UP AND YOU HAVE TO GIVE A TUG TO GET IT FREED UP. IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND AFTER THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED IT STILL DOES IT. I OPENED A FILE WITH CHEVY ON THE PROBLEM AND THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS THAT IS THE WAY THE NEW STEERING IS DESIGNED. NOTHING COMES UP ON THE SCANNER SO THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM,YET THE SERVICE MANAGER TOOK THE CAR HOME HIMSELF AND HE ADMITTED IT HAPPENED TO HIM. *TR
