This car has always had a rubbing or grinding sensation just after making a turn, at low speeds. It is subtle but definitely there. The dealer discounted my claim during the first service visit and said that it is normal. I don't know if this is associated with the steering issues that I have at higher speeds or not. This issue only happens just after making hard turns such as 90 degree turns from street to street. It does not occur when making curves.

This car has steering issues during highway driving. The steering gets very stiff and appears to get stuck when the wheels are in one position for very long such as on the highway. This has happened a multitude of times since I purchased this vehicle last july. In the beginning, I assumed it was because the car was new but it's taking more and more effort to adjust the steering during highway travel. This is a concern because one day it could lead to over adjustment and maybe a wreck at higher speeds. Driving in the city where I live is not a problem, as that I make frequent turns and the steering does not have time to lock up.
Steering wheel sticks and seems to only happen at higher speeds. Have noticed only when car steering is in one still position for 4-5 seconds and then have to readjust steering course or turn. You have to use an abnormal amount of force to get steering wheel to move. Conern is for over adjustment. This happens on a regular basis now. May occur at lower speeds but is not noticed as I drive in the city more often so am frequently turning and adjusting course. There is one other report on here to date about same problem.
After approx 30 mins of driving at highway speeds, steering "binds" causes driver to use extra force to turn the wheel, then steering frees up. This causes an over-steer situation. I am seeing identical complaints on other sites such as gmfourm.com. Been to the dealer 3 times and dealer says there is no issue when indeed there is a very dangerous issue as confirmed by others complaining about their vehicles. Seems to be an electric steering assist issue.
