I have a 2014 chevy Cruze LS, 115,000 miles and properly maintenanced. After hitting 100,000 miles the vehicle seems to be completely falling apart. Recently had to replace the oil cooling system due to it being cracked. After that was fixed my check engine light came on. Come to find out the entire intake manifold now needs to be replaced. After that issue is resolved, my steering wheel is now sticking dead center with a lack of movement with turning.
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.
