Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
A few months after purchase, I was backing out of a parking area into the highway, and the steering froze. I forced the wheel to turn and attributed the incident to having inadvertently turned on a safety feature. I began noticing, then, that the steering seemed to "almost stick" when I drove more than 40-45 mph. I do not lose complete steering control, but steering seems stilted, especially when highway driving. The vehicle has been driven fewer than 6000 miles. I heard on an ABC newscast that incidents such as those I had been experiencing were being investigated. I telephoned the local Honda dealer and was told that the dealership was unaware of any such investigation, but would inspect the car to determine if the safety features were working properly. Before taking the vehicle to the inspection appointment, I researched the news article and found it to be accurate. The dealership noted that they were not aware of any other reports having been made of these experiences. The "head mechanic" drove the car and said all was well as, in comparison to other Civics, the steering felt as it should. It was suggested that I might not be familiar with the electric power steering that the vehicle features.There have been no warning messages. Although there have been no direct instances of near safety risks, I am apprehensive when driving at highway speeds and am filing this report for documentation of my concerns.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
While driving for a few months now at 5K miles the car is having steering control issues. Where the steering is sticky while driving shifting from side to side and locking in a steady state while driving around a bend. There are no safety warnings present on the dashboard. Because of this vehicle issue, I feel unsafe driving my vehicle. I have taken it to a dealership to look at and investigate. They’ve told me the power steering rack needs a replacement. The power steering rack is currently on back order until July. I am hoping for a loaner vehicle, because I do not feel safe driving my vehicle with this problem still occurring. This could cause a possible accident that I would hope could be prevented.

When attempting to keep centered in a lane, regardless of Honda's Lane Keep Assist System turned off or on; there is a pronounced notch or skip in the steering that is noticed when driving longer periods of time. It has happened while driving around town at city speeds also, so the issue is not limited to any specific speed. When steering on curved roads, it is not smooth and effortless and I must fight the steering wheel which ultimately causes an annoying over correction. If another vehicle decides to drive along side me while keeping centered on a curved road, trying to keep centered in my lane can be challenging due the nature of the steering defect not allowing me to do so smoothly. This defect causes unnecessary over correction and can lead to a car collision. I have taken my vehicle to the local dealership, but they have not been able to reproduce it and have told me to keep a close eye on it. "When the issue comes up again, please do bring it back. Because there aren't any warning codes, we cannot just order a steering rack for you. We must prove to Honda that the repair is necessary under warranty."
Corrective Action:

Defect Description:
VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
I’ve had multiple dangerous visibility issues due to the design of the wipers & having the washer fluid mounted onto the wipers rather than the hood of the car. Washer fluid comes out on the left side of the drivers’ side wiper as it reaches the top of the windshield and just gets blown off the left edge. Had to pull over on major highways at night to manually clean windshield of bug spatter in order to see. In winter the wipers freeze and lose contact with the windshield, & result in extreme reduced visibility. Results in extreme danger driving on highways when trucks pass and spray salt and debris onto windows and wipers don’t function to clear windshield. Had many near accidents because of wipers and washer fluid not making sufficient contact with windshield. This is extremely dangerous in winter and summer and needs to be addressed and corrected by Honda ASAP. This was not just once or twice - has occurred repeatedly since 0ct. 2021 to the present time. It is an ongoing problem and danger. Cannot drive safely if the windshield is obstructed and has non functioning wiper system
