STEERING

Potential Consequences:

The steering wheel starts sticking when going highway speed around causing me to overcompensate to adjust it to keep following the road, when done so, the car jerks along with the overcompensation. This is causing alot of strain on my arms due to me having to constantly force the wheels to turn to follow the road, took it to the dealership, quoted $4000+ for a steering rack replacement. I hope something gets done about this issue as I’m seeing many similar cases here

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I recently brought in my car to Rousch Honda. They told me that my vehicle needs a new EPS rack costing $5000. My car has 95151 miles on it. After driving for about a half hour on the highway, I get a sticking steering wheel. I can move it but it takes slightly more effort to keep it straight. When it happens it occurs intermittently. Sometimes it happens often. Other times it doesn't happen at all. I think there should be a recall so that it doesn't cause an accident where people over correct and lose control.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Steering wheel “sticks” when making long sweeping left turns at any speed or when making small steering corrections at highway speeds. Steering wheel requires an extra amount of effort to move causing over corrections. At highway speeds it results in the appearance of erratic driving. The “stickyness” increases with heat, generated by both increased running time and higher ambient air temperatures. My vehicle has 86k miles, the issue has gotten progressively worse since around the 45k mile mark. Seems very similar to the issue that has resulted in a recall for the 2022-23 civics. The quality of Honda vehicles seems to be in a downward spiral. This issue is a major safety concern.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Steering has been an issue with this car from the start, when driving at highway speeds the car never drives straight. No matter how straight I keep my steering wheel, the car will still start to drift without correction- which is usually not an issue, but the civics steering has little to no resistance (firmness) so it turns very easily, thus making it nearly impossible to avoid overcorrecting. The sensitivity adds a huge fear factor for me as well considering how hard it is to control this car to begin with, if you dont manage to over steer yourself, the extremely high sensitivity settings of the steering wheel will almost guarantee an over correction... which is nonstop (and a huge distraction!!) until you arent moving. I couldn't imagine it would be easy trying to regain control under these conditions if God forbid I end up losing it.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP:CONTROL/DRIVE MODULE

Potential Consequences:

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 15 MPH, the vehicle stalled, and no warning lights were illuminated. The following day the contact stated that the brake lights were flashing, and the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was jumpstarted, and several warning lights illuminated. In addition, while the contact was driving at unknown speeds the steering wheel jerked to the right and the contact had to maneuver the steering wheel with excessive strength. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the contact was informed that the failure was not associated with the recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with a faulty VSA modulator, and it was replaced. The contact stated that after the repair there was a decrease in vehicle performance, a high-pitched sound near the gas tank, and the engine shook violently when the accelerator pedal was depressed, especially while driving at approximately 60 MPH or more. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated forward when the brake pedal was depressed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that a particular diagnostic code was not shown for the parts to be ordered. The failure mileage was approximately 51,990.

Defect Description:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

At ~80,000 miles on the odometer, the vehicle began exhibiting stiff/unresponsive steering at highway speeds. Specifically, when driving on a level plane in a straight line, the driver's attempts to correct drifts in direction by turning the steering wheel elicit no immediate feedback from the steering rack. This, in turn, forces the driver to exert greater steering effort via the steering wheel that, in turn, leads to a sudden and somewhat dramatic reaction from the steering rack. At best, this is annoying and increases driver fatigue on long trips. At worst, it creates a steering overreaction that could result in rollover or collision. Symptoms are identical to the steering rack malfunctions described in the recall for 2022-2023 models of the Honda Civic. The numbers of complaints appear to be relatively high and consistent with steering rack issues that date back to 2016 and persist through the 2022-2023 models. NHTSA would be well within its regulatory authority to order Honda to initiate a recall for this flaw.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Vehicle has a little over 100,000 miles on it. Issue started happening on and off starting at ~85k miles. Steering will resist/stick when making small adjustments while driving on a straight road or a wide curve causing overcorrection. The amount of sticking seems to vary depending on the amount of time driven and the temperature outside. Potentially dangerous (and extremely annoying) because it happens seemingly at random and is the amount of force to correct the steering is unpredictable. Sometimes it stick hard, sometimes it sticks a small amount, and sometimes it sticks none. Sometimes the car has to be swerved to be kept straight in the lane after breaking out of one of the sticking fits. It resets every time the wheel is straightened back into the 12 o'clock position and there is no way to know if the next time the wheel is moved it will do it again. Happens at all speeds but is most noticeable when going 55+ mph. This issue isn’t able to photographed obviously so here is a good video showing the exact issue (while the vehicle is stopped.) Video is not mine. [XXX] I have seen dozens and dozens of other instances of this happening from others online on Reddit, forums and YouTube videos. The cost to replace is ridiculous at $2,000-$4,000 for the entire rack and eps. I am going to take the car into a dealership to be looked at soon. Most instances I have seen, Honda refuses to cover or even recognize this issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The cost to replace is ridiculous at $2,000-$4,000 for the entire rack and eps. I am going to take the car into a dealership to be looked at soon. Most instances I have seen, Honda refuses to cover or even recognize this issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

2018 Honda civic has been having sticky steering. Going down highways or even city limits (45) the vehicle pulls to one side and when trying to correct the steering wheel will stick.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

A/C & Steering with another recall of the fuel pump The steering was hard to steer car in a straight line. I had to align the car three times so it could run smoother. Something is wrong with the steering. There were no warning lamps or messages. This first appeared from the day I bought it on May of 2018. I had to take the car back to dealership several times. The mechanic could not find anything wrong but I've had several leases of Honda Civic's/Accord's and this is the first that does not drive smooth and has recalls. I feel this car is a patched car/lemon and would rather have it replaced with a newer model and less serious recalls or issues. My car stalled in my carport and got it running after waiting a few minutes. There hasn't been crash or injury but if they don't repair the fuel pump sooner then fall of 2024, this car is not safe for me to drive!

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

While driving at highway speeds, steering sticks and pulls to one side, and remains so until I force wheel back. This problem first started in February 2024 and has continued untill this date (3/6/2024). This poses a serious safety risk as it unexpectedly pulls car out of a straight direction, and needs to be done continuously. I fear it will ultimately cause loss of control of my vehicle and serious injury. No warning lights come on, the problem happens randomly, but frequently. I am afraid to drive at highway speeds anymore, the problem is very disconcerting.I have not taken the car to the dealer as of yet. I understand Honda is aware of the problem but to date will not address the issue. I am also aware of a class-action lawsuit against Honda for the same problem in 2022-24 Civics. I am more than willing to demonstrate the problem to anyone who wishes to investigate.
