Default Squeaking and a sticky steering wheel feeling while driving.

Lexus nx200t 2016

When I turn the steering wheel, I hear a squeaking noise like sticky rubber, and even while driving, when I turn the steering wheel slightly, there is a muffled noise and the steering feels sticky - the movement is not smooth. I checked the steering column and it is fine. Could the problem be in the power steering motor? Has anyone experienced something similar? By the way, I have already lubricated the steering column shaft behind the airbag, down near the pedals, and in the firewall, but that did not solve the problem.

With all due respect, sir, we speak (mostly) English in Car Chat.

Here it is translated to English.
This will be moved to the 1st generation NX forum for more exposure.

When I turn the wheel, I hear a squeaky noise like sticky rubber, and even while driving, when I lightly turn the wheel, there is a dull noise and the steering feels sticky - the movement is not smooth. I checked the steering handle and it's fine. Can the problem be the electric steering engine? Has anyone experienced something similar? By the way, I've already anointed the steering wheel brot of the power pad behind the airbag, down next to the pedals, and in the firewall, but that didn't solve the problem.
