Steering Has Friction
2011 Chevrolet Cruze
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Chevrolet dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: What’s that smell – it’s a tad sweet with a tinge of chemical toxicity? If you own a 2011 Cruze it’s probably a coolant leak. It’s a widespread and notorious problem for the car and is the subject of a class-action lawsuit filed in the state of New York. And that’s not the only problem 2011 owners face…
Many say the 2011 model year suffers from a throttle lag that is probably due to a fauly electronic throttle control. The problem is signifigant enough that some owners say they are too scared to drive their cars. Those that do get behind the wheel often say their transmission isn’t shifting properly and problems start occuring as early as 15,000 miles.
All of this leads us to say you’re probably better off without this car’s headaches (they’re probably chemically-induced anyway).

In mornings I can feel 'friction' in my steering. I ignored it as I figured it needed lubrication. I received a notice from GM that said they were extending my warranty on my steering due to some people reporting friction in their steering and then the wheel would stick after extended periods of driving straight.
I brought to the dealer. They said that they were going to replace the gear box. The part has been on backorder for 3 weeks now.
