steering problems: 2005 convertible

[bobsackaminnow]

Recently purchased a year-old '05 pt cruiser convertible (turbo). Love the vehicle ... sweet ride ... but less than a month after the purchase I began having steering problems. The wheel squeaks horribly whenever I turn it ... and it feels as though it is rubbing against something. Still under warranty ... my not-so-friendly service department says they will replace the "steering bracket" and that will fix the problem. Anyone else had this kind of problem? Thanks!
