2013 Chevrolet Malibu Steering

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE STEERING GETS STUCK AND I HAVE TO PULL IT BACK TO THE RIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE POWER ASSIST AT THIS TIME. I FEEL THAT WITH THE STEERING GETTING STUCK I MAY HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING IT BACK SO AS TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS STEERING MECHANISM. *TR

IN ABOUT SEPTEMBER MY STEERING STARTED STICKING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS SINCE THEN IT IS GETTING WORSE HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET, I PLAN TO DO SO A LITTLE WORRIED WITH READING WHAT ISSUES OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND CHEVROLET NEEDS TO LOOK INTO WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THERE ARE SEVERAL FATALITIES! *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOME STIFF. WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A STEERING ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOME TIGHT AND HAD TO FORCE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE THE MOVEMENT. IT WAS LIKE THE FEELING OF A TORQUE WRENCH REACHING THE REQUIRED TORQUE, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE RIGHT. THIS CONTINUED THE ENTIRE TIME DRIVING HOME FOR APPROXIMATELY 180 MILES. ALMOST EVERY TIME I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THEN HAD TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIGHT, THIS WOULD HAPPEN. *TR

THIS VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES STICKY/STUCK AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND TRYING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM CREATES OVERSTEER AND OVERCORRECTION CREATING A SWERVING OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT CORRECTED. I'M SET TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING STEERING SEEMS TO FEEL AS IF IT IS LOCKING UP. I HAVE TO GIVE IT A LITTLE TUG TO FREE IT AND THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO SWERVE A LITTLE. IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS HOLDING THE STEERING IN THAT POSITION, WHILE DRIVING THERE IS MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING. *TR

I WAS GOING ABOUT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY BECOMES STIFF CAUSING ME TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL A LITTLE BIT HARDER. THAT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE AND POTENTIALLY GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE MIGHT BE IF IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR FRESH OFF THE LOT. *TR
