STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The electronic power steering system in the Honda Civic is failing. Steering wheel frequently “sticks” causing the driver to oversteer, in order to “unstick” the power steering mechanism. Power steering is notchy and sticky feeling, increasing in persistence. The vehicle feels unstable, thus unsafe for continued driving.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The beginning of November 2023 while driving on the interstate, I started to notice difficulty keeping the car in the lane from side to side in the lane with minimal adjustment to the steering wheel. When I return from my trip I brought it to Honda dealership to have it looked at. They said they couldn’t duplicate the issue that was it about 17,000 miles now I’m at 19,000 miles. The issue is getting worse today while driving on the interstate I barely touched the wheel to correct it to stay in the lane And it pulled to the left causing me to have to pull on the wheel to the right to keep it in the lane. I was not using any of the lane keeping assist safety features. This tends to be worse at higher speeds which is why the dealership says that they can’t duplicate the issue you have to get on the interstate with the car. It is noticeable, but not as bad driving around town.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
We are experiencing an issue that seems to be related to the power steering of the vehicle. With no particular reason the power steering will start acting up and almost feel like you're trying to pull two magnets apart to get the vehicle to go in a straight line. The steering almost feels like it's stuck in a rut and you have to pull it out and then it gets stuck again and this is never ending throughout the drive. The issue doesn't require much force to overcome but can present itself within corners as well which is particularly concerning especially with the snow/ice season here in the Midwest. During our last oil change Honda mentioned that there was a recall on our vehicle related to the power steering and that they would perform a diagnostic scan to see if our vehicle was affected to which they said it was not. Our issue didn't sound like it was party of that recall though as that recall was about out of spec rubbing issues with the steering rack. Our issue is hard to get into service because the issue seems to be intermittent with no trigger and it's impossible to schedule a service appointment and have the issue diagnosed when it's not presenting itself. Additionally, The issue is present while at all speeds (10-70mph) and seems to be the same in severity.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
When driving at higher speeds, the steering wheel feels "stuck," causing the driver to have to steer harder to overcome the "sticking." There have been no warning lights that have come on due to this problem. This is especially noticeable on the expressway. This is a clearly disconcerting issue on the expressway as I am constantly having to tug one way or the other on the steering wheel to "free" it up. I discussed this issue with a Honda service manager at a local dealership on 12/26/23, and though he acknowledged he has personally experienced this issue on another vehicle, he indicated there is currently no fix. I am the second owner of this vehicle (I purchased the vehicle with just over 16,000 miles). The car now has 30,000 miles and this steering issue is getting worse.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
While driving, my car steers both to the left and right and when I correct it, the steering wheel and tires are stiff as if the tires are sticking to the ground. I also have to drive with both hands gripping the steering wheel firmly to stop the car from over correcting. It has gotten more difficult to steer the car. All of the driver assist features are turned off. This car is unsafe for me as well as other drivers on the road. I received the EPS recall notice inspection and took my car into Gerald Jones Honda in Augusta Georgia and was told that there wasn’t a defect but I am continuing to have this problem. I have an appointment today to take my car back.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Steering sticks frequently at highway speeds (60+ mph) and sometimes at city speeds (30+ mph) causing me to apply extra force for micro adjustments and resulting in jerky and unsafe maneuvers. Particularly in extended curves the steering will stick in the initial turn position and require a good amount of force to change position. This creates unsafe maneuvers when driving. Vehicle was taken to dealership for sticky steering issue because I thought it might be related to a steering rack open recall, however dealership stated my vehicle was not affected by the recall and they were unable to replicate my issue with the sticky steering. There is no kind of warning light or notification on dash from any system when this issue happens. The feeling is most like when lane assist kicks in but the lane assist system is not engaging when the issue happens. The issue also happens regardless of lane assist being turned on or off.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
While driving on the highway, usually after driving in a straight line for an extended period of time, the steering will become “sticky”. During these scenarios, it takes more effort than normal to turn the steering wheel, and then suddenly becomes much lighter to turn. It can catch an unsuspecting driver off guard and could lead to a crash. I have seen many other complaints almost identical to mine, and Honda even has a service bulletin open about the issue.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I am experiencing a sticking steering wheel sensation that is most noticeable driving at high speeds. The wheel sticks and then jerks when corrected. It feels extremely unsafe. I do not want to drive it out of town or put more miles on it because I am afraid the problem will worsen or cause a wreck. I noticed this at 37,500 miles. Only 1500 miles outside of my warranty. I contacted Honda’s customer service to see if they would cover repairs since this is a known issue and I am right outside of warranty. They said it would have been covered is I was still under warranty. They said that I needed to take it to a Honda dealership, pay the diagnostic fee, get an official diagnosis, then contact them with the diagnosis for information on if they will cover repairs. I paid the fee and the car was diagnosed with “intermittent seizing coming from the power steering rack. Recommend replacement.”. They quoted me $3300 to repair. I contacted Honda and they said they would not waive my diagnostic fee because I’m outside of my warranty and this it’s not an active recall. They forwarded my information to someone to review my case. I submitted my diagnosis and links to this website showing the open investigation. I will be contacting an attorney if Honda continues to refuse to pay for repairs.
