NHTSA does not have recalls, complaints, investigations, or manufacturers communications for this issue. That doesn’t mean it does not exist, just that it isn’t a big enough problem to have made it to the NHTSA yet.
The first thing I thought if is electric power steering. Both our 2009 Cobalt and 2010 Cobalt were recalled for binding in the electric power steering. When the steering was turned lock to lock several times, it would bind up. The immediate solution was to stop, turn the car off, and then start it again. That would reset the power steering. We got the steering replaced, but never experienced the problem. Keep monitoring the issue and keep the dealer informed. Maybe you could try turning the steering wheel lock to lock several times in a row and see if it binds up. Since you do this sitting still, it’s safe. If it does bind up, test the steering in front of the service rep at the dealership.
