FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
The steering has become "sticky" when turning between the 10 and 12 positions (clock face), at all speeds, slow or highway. It happens mostly when I make a long left turn and return the wheel to its straight "12" position. I get a sticking/stuck/notch feeling through the wheel, which feels like the rack is sticking. At highway speed, this is extremely unnerving.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
This problem started happening a month ago when the car had about 15k miles. When I am on the highway and need to make minor adjustments to stay in my lane, the steering wheel will get stuck and I would have to apply a firmer turn on the wheel resulting in very jerky corrections of my steering. I do not feel safe anymore as I am driving on the highway and the car is giving me a hard time to stay in my lane. This is with all lane assistance turned off.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Even with the steering safety assistance turned off... the steering "sticks" while trying initiate turns/adjustments. Turning straight after a curve becomes jerky and unsafe. Keeping straight in a lane without jerking an overcorrection can cause concern. This is also adding to hand/wrist fatigue over long distance commute. Bottom line it feels unsafe.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering malfunctions consistently while driving and occasionally while parked. The wheel forces itself to jerk back and forth every few seconds and sticks as it does so causing the driver to fight the opposite direction. When parked the wheel still does the same thing after driving. In addition to this issue, the engine auto start/stop feature has to be disabled every drive because when stopped, the engine does not fully restart causing the car to false start and stop again, therefore potentially causing an accident when entering moving traffic.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
More frequently, I am finding that the steering wheel seems to "stick" when I try to turn or make slight adjustments whilst driving at 30 mph or higher. I have noticed that it does it more when it is cold out, and by cold I mean under 50 degrees. How long the car has been on seems to make no difference at all. This has been happening for quite some time, I reported it to my Acura service department last winter. They had no idea - now I see that higher trim 11th gen Civics are being recalled for this same issue.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering is ‘sticky’ making the vehicle very difficult to drive without wandering all over the road. I first reported this problem 2 months after purchasing the vehicle new (Feb 2023 - purchase was 12/2022). At that time, the dealer did a visual inspection, and a short test drive and said the vehicle was acting properly and ‘just reacting to the roadway’. They made it seem like I was ‘imagining’ this issue. And they never even hinted at this ‘Honda Sticky Steering problem’ that had been occurring for quite some time at this point. I will say that the problem was much more obscure at that point then it is now, approximately 8 months later. But I definitely feel that the dealer deceived me about the problem. Subsequently the problem has worsened considerably. 1 month ago (Oct 2023), I took the car back to the dealer, and although they acknowledged the presence of a steering problem in my car (i.e. it’s pretty obvious now), they still did not even mention the ‘sticky steering problem’. They then proceeded to replace the left front strut due to an error code. This did not solve the problem, but they did then tell me about the ‘Honda Sticky Steering Issue’. This made me quite angry! They then proceeded to tell me I could keep driving the vehicle normally, and they’d get back to me. Are you kidding me??? This made me even more angry. I told them I didn’t feel comfortable / safe driving the vehicle, and they said there was nothing else they could do until they determine how to fix this, whenever that might be. This happens at all speeds and driving modes. The car now has 10,800 miles on it. PLEASE HELP!!! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
When going over 30mph, the steering wheel will freeze into a static position, requiring a few pounds of force to unstick it and steer again - similar to the force needed to interrupt lane assist. This happens consistently for several days, then will stop for a few days, then start for several days again. Because it sticks, it is impossible to smoothly make adjustments while driving. Instead, every time I unstick it, the wheel turns slightly more than I want, causing an extremely unsafe situation, particularly when traveling at high speeds. It also stuck while I was parked with the car on, recently - but that’s the first time it has happened when not driving. It sticks the worst between 30-50mph.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
While driving in a straight line, steering catches or sticks when trying to make small steering adjustments from side to side. Most noticeable at highway speeds. More than normal force is required to adjust steering either direction. Feels a bit unsafe on the highway due to constantly fighting the steering. There have been no warning lights or notifications in the vehicle. I live 400 miles from the nearest Acura dealer so unable to take it in. I’ve reported the issue to Acura customer service but they’ve not been helpful. I took it to a nearby Honda dealer but they can’t work on it without Acura’s blessing.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
When I am driving in a highway or road at about 40mph and higher my steering wheel “locks” when I try to do minor adjustments. Whenever I drive straight and have to readjust I have to jerk the steering wheel. After I jerk it its smooth however if I drive straight again it “locks again”. It is very uncomfortable and unsafe. It also locks in place when you do a long curve since you leave your steering wheel in place after you try to readjust to the straight road the steering feels “sticky”.
