I bought my Civic new on 2016. The car starts to have steering become jerky and tends to stick in the center position after driving on the highway more than 20 minutes on 03/15/2020. When that happens the car drifts to the left side and I have to use a extra force to pull it out of that sticking point back to the center steering . I did researched this problem on carcomplaints. Com and found 107 complaints on Honda Civic 2016 eps jerky problems. I also found Honda recall 18v663000 ( power steering assist fails ) on Civic and crv 2017-2018 but not included 2016 while Civic 2016-2018 use same eps assembly part no. 53650-tba-a01 that fix the eps fails. I brought my car to Honda dealer to diagnostics the problem on 05/2020 was 52k miles but they can't confirmed it because it appears after at least 20min drives so they don't want to spend that much time to drive on highway! I noticed the problem intermittently relative to the weather temperatures and the problem appears few month after I brought my car to dealer for Honda recall vsa and parking brake software updated. It's challenging to drive a straight line when the problem appears . Today 04/28/2021 my car has 57k miles and still have same problem but can't afford to pay over $2500 to replace the eps assembly due to out of manufacture warranty. I am deeply disappointed to own a car has less than 60k miles with major safety issues on eps unpleasure to drive.
Upon startup vsa, tpms, cmbs, brake warning illuminated at 4400 miles. Power steering failed. Delivered to dealer for repair.
