1 Steering Failed problem of the 2016 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 09/01/2024

Purchased as certified used Honda. I feel this VIN should be included in the recall for the same issue in other 2016 Honda Civic steering gear bax failure recalls and Honda should have to rectify the failure. 1 year ago my car steering seemed to be sticking. I took it into the dealership and was told my sway bar was leaking. I had that replaced and the issue seemed to not be noticed. Again this year it became mush more pronounced especially when driving on the interstate. The steering seems to get in a grove and the steeting wheel needs to be almost jerked to get it from veering in a specific direction. (right) if I continually jiggle the steering wheel it does not happen. I took it to the dealership and upon diagnosis they determined that the steering gear box is failing. I did research and some 2016 Honda Civic models had a recall on this issue. I reached out to Honda and they said that mine was not in that recall. I find it hard to think that it should not since it was a known issue for other vehicles. My tires are wearing fast due to the issue as well. Honda stated I would have to file a report with you.

6 Steering Failed problem of the 2003 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 06/19/2013

I live on a main road, so I was thankful that there was no heavy traffic at the time, that it luckily was minor, and no one was injured, however, this has the potential to cause fatality. As I was driving out of my driveway and turning right out onto the road, the steering wheel stuck in the turning right position and both steering and brakes failed to work causing me to crash into a parked car. I am not sure why the steering and brakes both failed like this? strangely, my car was driving fine after the incident as the police officer pulled it to the side of the road. It is smashed up and needs body work and possibly mechanical work. I did have it towed to the dealership, as I did not trust driving it after this happened, and I am not sure I will ever feel safe in this car. Currently, my insurance is taking care of it, but this was a malfunction on Honda's part and should be dealt with by Honda on all fronts, cosmetically, mechanically, financially, and most importantly so that this doesn't happen to someone else or me again. Otherwise, there is no justice or protection for the consumer! this could have potentially been and could be life threatening.
