46 Steering problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2024

My car was purchased used with 79k miles and the longer the car is running, the stiffer the steering wheel becomes. Any small moments are stiff and make the car jerk to much and it causes me to have to fight to keep the car in a straight line while driving. Lane keeping assistance is also driving way too close to one side since the steering wheel causes the car to struggle to make any small changes. It gets close to cars that are next to me and can potentially cause an accident if I make one small move. They appeared for me on 8/15 and I purchased this car on 8/14. A steering wheel should be smooth and not so stiff. I have an appointment coming up on Monday for a diagnostic but I am afraid they’ll tell me it’s out of warranty or there is nothing wrong with it. Which is impossible since so many others like me are having the same issue. My car needs to become part of this recall to be able to afford to change the steering shell rack or fix what needs to be fixed for my safety and those around me.

47 Steering problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2024

The steering is hard to control and maintain lanes at highway speeds. It gets worse with more drive time and strains the hand while driving. The dealer has kept denying such a problem, but all my friends and family keep complaining about it too. Apart from me, no one is ready to drive this car on the highway due to the safety risk. It jerks when trying to maintain lanes, because trying to make slight adjustments sways it off from the lane. The problem is unbearable after long drives of over 4 hours or so.

48 Steering problem

50 Steering problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2024

As I attempted to turn my steering wheel to exit interstate I-90 east, the steering wheel became increasingly hard to control and I heard a popping noise in my front driver side tire. My vehicle slid into the curb, resulting in the front driver side fender damage, tire damage, axel damage, and 3 deployed airbags. The vehicle’s electric power steering failed and it is available for inspection. Both mine and my mom’s safety were at risk, however no injuries occurred. I have not received a recall notice at all and the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the power steering issue before this occurred.

51 Steering problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2024

52 Steering problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2024

Car has been exhibiting sticky steering problem. Small adjustments require above average force to keep centered and the car ends up over compensating.

54 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2024

While driving at speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour, controlling the vehicle becomes increasingly difficult. No lights on the dash indicate any issues, but it is very apparent that something is not right. It feels as if lane keep assist constantly resists any steering inputs even when off. This particular vehicle has not been inspected by the dealership.

55 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2024

At highway speeds (about 50-75+ mph), the car's steering becomes sticky and requires a moderately greater-than-normal amount of force to make small adjustments, often leading to slight over-corrections. It feels as though the power steering or related components are causing the steering to stiffen, but I am unsure. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or anyone else yet. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms have appeared prior to experiencing this issue. I feel that this issue is putting my and my family's safety at risk. It causes unsafe driving conditions, especially during heavy traffic. On several occasions, the over-corrections have led to close encounters with other vehicles, nearly causing an accident.

56 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/24/2024

My daughters car started having steering issues. We took the car to the Honda dealer we bought the car from for repair. Instead of addressing the recall they stated the steering issue wasn't a recall issue but when the car's VIN number is pulling up a recall for steering. We took the vehicle to another Honda dealer for a second opinion and again they said the steering issue wasn't part of the recall. Neither dealer mentioned anything about repair the recall, they said the steering issue wasn't part of the recall. The second dealership stated "even if we wanted to fix the steering issue found we could because the parts aren't available for 4 to 6 months" then tried to sell us a new car. I have all this information in writing from both dealership. Both dealerships charged us a service fee for the diagnosis when we were just asking for the recall to be repaired. I filed a complaint with Honda an their investigation consisted of calling the dealership to ask what the diagnosis was, no actual investigation was ever conducted. Honda said they couldn't help us. The recall has never been addressed. They wanted us to pay $3000 or $4000 for the repairs, my daughter was the first owner of this vehicle. We find it to be suspicious that a brand new vehicle has steering issues after 2 years of ownership and coincidently Honda put out a recall for steering issues but it's not part of the recall. The diagnosis paperwork from the dealership we received specifically stated the exact same thing the recall stated on the Honda website. We need help.

57 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2024

The electrical power steering system can sometimes make steering feel very sticky, which can be unsafe. This stickiness happens because the system may resist turning movements, making it hard to steer smoothly. On the highway, this can lead to jerky motions as you struggle to maintain control. This issue compromises safety by making steering unpredictable and difficult.

58 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2024

Steering stuck causing an inability for vehicle to navigate a turn resulting in impact with large rocks on side of a winding road. Airbags were deployed and vehicle was a total loss as a result of the damages incurred. No other vehicles involved in incident.

60 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/13/2024

My car which is less than 3 years old has faulty electronic power steering assembly. I took the car to Honda service and they confirmed that its faulty and needs replacement. I was quoted $3500 to fix it since im out of warranty. Contacted Honda motor corporation and they refused to help me get this replaced. Steering get stuck on the highway speed while going around curves and makes it very difficult to break loose from the stuck position. I almost got into an accident while trying to break loose from the stuck position. My service representative confirmed that all 2022-2023 has this issue or will have this issue as the milage goes up. In my case I always had this issue but I thought it was the lane keep assist feature that is correcting itself. This vehicle needs to be recalled for the power steering.

61 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/12/2024

My steering wheel will stick and I will have to lightly jerk it to get it right. Usually when I'm on the highway but at other times too. It seems to be getting worse. Last year, I told the Honda dealership where I purchased the car about tje problem but they saw nothing wrong but I can feel there is a problem. It is a safety issue because the wheel should not stick while im driving and having to jerk it out of the stuck position is also unsafe. No warning lights come on and I do not use lane assist. I have my kids in the car so their safety is also at risk. Today is the most recent day it happened. 6/12/24.

62 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/06/2024

Steering wheel sticks when turning around curves then jerks in opposite direction when corrected.

63 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2024

About three weeks ago, I started noticing the steering becoming "sticky," taking more effort than usual to begin to turn the wheel, especially noticeable when making small steering corrections at higher speeds. And once the additional effort is applied, there is a slight jerk of the steering wheel in the direction the effort is being applied, almost feeling as if there were "notches" into which some steering component was falling, and that a bit of effort moves it from one notch into the next one. Even though the problem only began exhibiting a few weeks ago, it is noticeably worse today. It seems like some steering component is failing pretty quickly, and I am worried it could very soon become a safety issue, as the pressure required to move the wheel from one "notch" to the next has been growing.

64 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2024

The steering on the vehicle is "sticky" or "grabby". It is especially noticeable when trying to drive in a straight line at highway speeds. Car cannot be steered smoothly, but can only be steered with little jerks to the wheel. First noticed the problem after about 4,000 miles, and it has been an issue pretty consistently since then. Currently have about 31,000 miles on the vehicle. When reported to the dealer, they stated they had no reports of the issue and offered to run a diagnostic, which I declined at the time due to cost.

65 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/04/2024

Steering wheel is sticking at speed above 40mph. I constantly have to adjust steering to drive straight. I don’t feel safe driving this Civic on the highway.

67 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2024

2022 Honda Civic sport sedan has a sticky steering wheel. The steering will stick when turning on the highway or when accelerating to highway speeds. When I need to correct it, the steering wheel will jerk back and swerve the car often into the other lane or off the road. This is incredibly dangerous and should not be happening to a car this new. After research online I see thousands of other people having the same issue.

68 Steering problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2024

When driving at highway speed, the steering wheel will not continuously go straight it gets stuck a little the to the left or right and I have to constantly adjust the feeling is like a sticky feeling, it has nothing to do with alignment it is the steering wheel, it is almost as if the lane control sensor is on but it is not I have turned it off, it causes me to overcompensate and overcorrect the steering, dealership of course says they cannot replicate problem. Also when at a complete stop there is a grinding sound in the steering column.

69 Steering problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2024

Steering is sticking as you are driving down the road. It almost has the same sensation with pulling away from you as if you have lane assist on. We have turned lane assist off because it only makes the steering worse. I feel like it could cause an accident at some point because I can see where a driver may overcorrect especially with it happening going around a curve. This is my daughter's car. Apparently there is no recall on this specific problem at this time. My older daughter's 2023 Honda Civic has the same issue and is currently waiting on a backordered part so that it can be fixed under warranty.

70 Steering problem

Failure Date: 05/26/2024

When driving, especially at higher speeds the steering becomes sticky. It is hard to make minor adjustments and is incredibly unsafe as it at times snaps back when trying to turn in either direction.
