2014: “Similar to my 2014 chevrolet volt, the steering column sticks on highways at high speeds, it feels like it catches on something, when turning the wheel to the right. Behavior seems to happen when steering wheel is straight for a time, then when turning the wheel, it catches. There was a recall for that exact behavior in my volt, which was corrected with recall.”
