STEERING
Potential Consequences:
My Honda civic steering wheel at around 14,000 miles began to be "sticky" after driving about 30 minutes when performing minor steering corrections. While driving at any speed, the steering wheel has a slight resistance to minor corrections which causes me to need to slightly jerk the steering to go the way I need it to go. This then causes the car to turn to far and the need for correction which also is a slight adjustment and the cycle continues. The dealer wasn't able to see the issue but it is a great pain and possible safety issue while going at highway speeds. There are no warning lights or error codes associated.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering system developed a "notchy"-ness to it. The steering required above normal pressure to correct the direction and then "jumped" a little too far which required the same process to correct it. Almost like the car could only correct in 2 degree increments to try and keep it heading straight. Each correction was slightly too much though and required another correction in the opposite direction. This was at highway speeds of 70 MPH. The lane assist was turned off as it was thought that affected it but it didn't. After parking the car at our destination the steering was fine on the way home only to randomly start happening again. I have not had it checked at a dealer yet but will bring it in. Car has about 9900 miles. My wife looked at me and didn't understand why I couldn't keep the car simply headed straight. Have hundreds of thousands of miles of experience - its a steering malfunction.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I have noticed the issue happening for a long time and never thought anything of it. It starts out by only really sticking on the highways to now being sticky at all times of my drive. It will lock up and cause me to over correct trying to get it unstuck. I spoke with a sales person when I was looking at other options and he was able to feel it sticking even in a parked state. I am more worried about the idea of me over correcting on the highway and putting everyone at risk around me.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
My steering wheel from what I can tell when it’s less than 40 degrees at speeds around 30mph and up gets to be very notchy or like there is a resistance point when I am driving on straight roads. It is not a huge issue that makes it anywhere near not being able to drive, but it gets to be very annoying as since there is a resistance point to push past when I make minor steering adjustments it causes me to oversteer which ends up causing me to have to constantly be adjusting the wheel just so i can try to stay going straight. It is especially difficult to stay in the middle of the lane when it is windy, or just in general bad weather. This may be unrelated but when turning with the steering wheel all the way either way it makes a groaning noise. I took it to my Honda dealership and they claim to not be able to replicate it. They are the only ones who i have brought it to to have it checked. They’re are no warning lights.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering stiffens up (once the engine warms up) while driving and gives unnecessary resistance on initial attempt to turn the steering wheel in any direction (especially at highway speeds). It becomes very tedious on a long drive. I took the car to a dealership and they made a few changes to the settings but it did not fix the problem. They said they would need the car for several days and drive it under various conditions. They claim they had never heard of this problem before. I have a feeling they are going to tell me it's an intermittent problem and not a big enough issue to consider further action. (I've been through that with other vehicles I've owned) I would have to rent a car in order to leave my Civic with them.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I noticed that when I would drive the vehicle on the highway there was something strange with the steering wheel. I felt that the car would not keep on a straight path, but would slightly start moving to the side and that I had to slightly adjust the steering to keep it driving straight. I would also feel a minimal stickiness of the steering wheel. When driving at slow speeds, I would hear a click on the front of the car every time I would turn the steering wheel. Also, there were random times when I would reverse from a parking space and I would feel another click on the back of the car. There were other times when I would park and the park brake would automatically engage. This issue started happening around November of 2022, about six months after purchasing the new vehicle. i just thought that this was normal, until I began noticing the increase of the issue with the unusual steering problems while on highway speed. The issue has been confirmed by the dealer when I took it for service on 03/08/2023. They kept the vehicle and informed me that I could not drive it until it is repaired. No warning lights turned on to indicate that there was a problem. I'm concerned that this is a new vehicle that I cannot drive, and the manufacturer has not indicated an time when the vehicle will be fixed. The dealer said that in May 2023 some parts may be released for repairs of this issue, but that they cannot guarantee that my vehicle will be repaired by then.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I recently purchased a 2022 Honda Civic Sedan Sport on 3/24/22. It was a one owner vehicle with 34K miles. Upon my test drive I noticed the steering wheel was "sticking" and over-correcting. I mentioned this to the salesman that was along for the ride, we both said "the lane keep assist needs to be turned off". I have owned several Honda's, all with this feature so I know it can be disabled. Once I purchased the car and was driving home, I noticed it getting much worse at higher speed on the interstate. It was maddening! Going straight, without lane departure there is this constant sticking when any type of correction needs to be made. When you correct the path of direction, I have to push much more than I should to do a small correction but it causes the car to swerve! In any kind of turn, no matter how sharp the car does now allow you to "flow" out of the turn. I am forced into a constant "jerking motion" to keep the car in lane and not run off the road! The entire trip home was quite scary, not to mention I looked like I probably needed to be pulled over for DUI! Once I was home, I went through all of the safety, maintenance and settings options to disable ANY kind of Lane Departure Mitigation, Driver Assist or anything else (that's supposed to make the car safer to drive by the way) and it made no difference! I drove it again today 3/25/22 and had to get off the interstate because of this, as it is highly unsafe. I have contacted the dealership, I will be taking the car in on Mon 3/27/22 but after reading many forums on the internet, this is unfortunately a common issue of great concern, that has not been resolved as far as I can tell. There are no warning messages. From what I have read, when other vehicles have been taken to the dealership they are sent away with no corrections, as there are no CODES being given for correction. This is extremely unsafe, not for only the driver but passengers and other surrounding vehicles! The contact stated that the vehicle stayed at the dealership for some time while th

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Steering wheel "sticks" when trying to maintain a straight driving path on highways speeds 55+ mph. When trying to do smaller micro adjustments, the steering wheel feels like it is sticking or clicking as opposed to a smooth operation. Vehicle currently has 9,500 miles on it. I am concerned that this issue could get worse if not addressed. No known issues from Honda and vehicle just passed Pennsylvania safety inspection 3/2023 with no issues.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Steering is "sticky" making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel it is like it has to "break free" from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 40-45 mph, regardless of the driving mode (sensing on or off). With the lane departure system off it difficult to stay in a lane when minor corrections to steering are needed, in traffic it becomes dangerous and very scary when the car wants to drift into to passing traffic and the driver has to continually fight the steering wheel. This makes for a stressful driving experience. We recently bought the car used (Honda Certified), it has 36,700 miles. We took the car to the dealership soon after purchase with concerns about the steering & safety and they said there is nothing wrong with it. We have since taken it on a long road trip, highway driving becomes stressful with countless close calls with traffic in other lanes. The car is available for inspection upon request. We sincerely hope you can help us.

We took the car to the dealership soon after purchase with concerns about the steering & safety and they said there is nothing wrong with it. We have since taken it on a long road trip, highway driving becomes stressful with countless close calls with traffic in other lanes. The car is available for inspection upon request. We sincerely hope you can help us.
Additional Notes:
Steering is "sticky" making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel it is like it has to "break free" from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 40-45 mph, regardless of the driving mode (sensing on or off).

Honda (american Honda Motor Co.)
Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Mostly at higher speeds(55-60), noticed the steering wheel no longer being smooth, and now sticky. Not being able to smoothly move within the lane jerks the car. Im assuming it looks like I’m drunk from behind. At lower speeds it’s much better but still not as smooth as it was as before this started.
