2025 Honda crv "sticky steering"worm gear spring just started in my car and getting worse. I read about a recall and haven't received my notice.
Steering wheel noises while turning.
Having issue with steering clicking and slipping when turning - looked up recall by year make and model and car showed steering gear issue - but the recall did not show up by VIN - took the car for maintenance and had them check - they found the car indeed has the steering gear issue and needs to be fixed - I'm concerned about why the car has the issue which shows by make and model but not by VIN and also about another recall on fuel pump that also shows for same year make and model but not by VIN.
The steering feels notchy on the highway and if is difficult to make small steering corrections.
Unknown: steering is stiff. Minor changes like maintaining lanes or changing lanes is becoming increasingly difficult. Large motions are fluid. It feels like it’s sticky. When I change lanes or other minor changes it takes a lot of work to move the car back to its original position. Having issues where it gets caught in certain positions causing significant steering issues.
When driving on the highway and making small adjustments to keep straight, the steering system will get stuck and suddenly jerk. This causes you to overcorrect and you have to steer back the other direction. This issue has continued getting worse and now affects the car at speeds >20 mph. This used to only occur at >60 mph.
I am experiencing a “sticky, notchy” steering issue on my 2025 Honda Cr-v hybrid. When the steering wheel is approximately 1–2 degrees off center (either left or right), the steering resists movement and then suddenly jerks when correcting. This makes it difficult to make smooth corrections and maintain a steady lane position. The issue only occurs after driving for about 30–40 minutes, which suggests it may be related to component warm-up or prolonged operation. The problem does not occur during short drives. This issue began about two month ago and now happens consistently once the vehicle has been driven long enough. I brought the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to reproduce the issue because their test drive lasted only about four minutes. No diagnostic findings or repairs were performed.
I have lost steering power on two separate occasions in the last week. When this happens the steering wheel locks in place. Once while I was reversing, I went to turn the wheel and the steering wheel was frozen in place. I pulled back into the spot put the car in park and then back in reverse and the wheel was still locked in place. I had to shut off the car and restart it 5 times for the wheel to unlock itself. The second incident was while I was driving. I was doing around 40 mph and went to make a lane change and the wheel was locked in place. This lasted closed to 1. 5 miles. Finally I was able to get some movement (it felt like when you have a flat tire in the front which makes it tough to steer-I did not have a flat. ) once pulled over I had to turn the car off and on for around 15 minutes until I could move the steering wheel again. I brought it to the dealership yesterday, they could not duplicate the issue and there were no codes, so there was nothing they can do. There was a previous recall of a steering gear box r, my car was not effected because it was produced after the original recall according to the dealership. When both incidents occured there were no warnings, the wheel just locked itself. Not being able to steer without warning is a huge safety risk. I have joined Honda forums and others are complaining about the same issue.
Vehicle: 2025 Honda Cr-v sport-l hybrid date of purchase: April 2025 date problem first noticed: April 2025 complaint summary: I purchased a brand new 2025 Honda Cr-v sport-l hybrid in April 2025. Since the day I brought the vehicle home, I have noticed a persistent clanking or metal-on-metal noise coming from the rear of the vehicle, especially noticeable when driving over minor bumps or rough pavement at low to moderate speeds. This issue was reported to the dealer, and in June 2025, they attempted a repair by replacing the rear shock absorber and a rear rod assembly. However, the noise returned within weeks, and by mid-July 2025, it has become significantly worse. Now, the clanking sound is loud and alarming, resembling something coming loose or at risk of falling off. It has reached the point where I feel unsafe driving the vehicle, especially on highways or interstates. I am concerned that a suspension or structural component may fail, potentially leading to a loss of control or an accident. The fact that this issue has persisted despite repairs and is worsening raises serious concerns about the safety and structural integrity of the rear suspension system on this model. --- additional notes: the noise occurs whether the vehicle is loaded or empty. It is especially pronounced when driving over uneven roads, minor bumps, or potholes. I have checked the cargo area for loose items—this is clearly a mechanical issue. The service team initially acknowledged the issue and attempted a fix, but the recurrence suggests either a design flaw or improper rear component durability. Given that other owners have reported similar noises and rear-end suspension issues on owner forums, I believe this may not be an isolated case. --- ?? safety concern: due to the intensity of the noise and the sensation that rear components may detach, I no longer feel confident driving the vehicle at highway speeds. This poses a serious safety hazard to myself.
I changed lanes without using my blinker and the car fought against me on the freeway it caused me fear and concern, I questioned dealer I was told it was okay by dealer he said there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.
I parking my car in a parking spot at my work infront of a tree post the car jumped and hit the tree post by it self as crazy it sound I’ve never seen this before I was devastated. Scared I had called the insurance to tow the car to the Honda dealer and it’s been sitting there for a month now to get the manufacturing Honda come look at it and no one had contacted me yet.

Description of the problem: I purchased a 2025 Honda Cr-v sport-l hybrid in August 2024. The vehicle developed a steering noise and clicking issue early in ownership, first reported at 21,571 miles on November 6, 2024. The problem persisted through four separate warranty repair attempts at authorized Honda dealerships (kirkland, bellevue, and seattle). Despite multiple repairs, including replacement of the cable reel and steering components, the issue was only confirmed and resolved by a Honda field engineer on April 25, 2025, at 49,657 miles. American Honda acknowledged the problem and opened case #xxxand later a mediation case #xxx, but failed to respond to my lemon law resolution request. This prolonged defect affected vehicle safety and steering control stability, especially during low-speed turns and rough roads. Documentation of all visits and correspondence with Honda has been provided. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
I recently purchased my 2025 Honda crv from the dealership January. I was driving with my 2025 Honda crv and I noticed that the lane keep assist was having the ping pong affect when I first picked it up but I didn't really think too much about it. I assume my vehicle just needed some drive time since it was brand new and it was the first time it was on the highway. I noticed that this function was also causing the wheel to be very stiff. I know this system is a driving assistant and is not meant to take away from actual driving and paying attention to the road. But this week the system made an over correction and caused my vehicle turn into a guardrail on the highway. The road was straight, the day was clear and the lines on the lanes were very visible. There shouldn't have been an issue. I was pulled into the guardrail on the driver's side. I was with my girlfriend, her [xxx] son and my friend at the time. Everyone was a bit shaken up, I never had that happen before. It was primarily cosmetic damage to the vehicle and no other vehicles or property was damaged. I wasn't aware there was a steering recall on this vehicle until after the incident, and the recall was posted during the time I was finalizing the paperwork with my dealership for purchasing this vehicle. I haven't taken it to a dealership since getting the vehicle because they prepared everything prior to delivery or picking it up from the port in my case. I have filed a claim with my insurance company and hopefully the vehicle can be inspected for steering issues, to include the lane keep assist. I didn't get any warnings from the vehicle during the incident and I did notice that the steering is overly controlled by the adaptive cruise control when I try to make a turn in my own lane. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
The clock spring assembly makes a noise whenever I turn the steering - this was once fixed through replacement by long beach Honda and a couple of months later the issue came up again. Now, the dealer says Honda should be addressing it. The issue today till exists on vehicle and Honda refuses to take any action which is very weird as many users on online threads report the same issue. I am not sure if this might be related to the recall number (24v744000) but my car shows no open recalls. Long beach Honda confirmed the issue and replaced the part once, but the issue came up again after a couple of months itself. . Read more...
The steering wheel pulls the one side drastically when I drive over a bump or a crack/line on a road or highway. It’s quite scary and I’m afraid I could have an accident.
I contacted the Honda dealership on November 22, 2024 regarding my recall and was told there was a waitlist. I followed up in December 2024 and was told there was still a waitlist. I called again on 2/4/2025 and was told that no parts for the recall have come in and that there is no eta on it. The first contact that I made was more than 60 days ago.

It has become increasingly more difficult to steer my car and I have sought repair from Honda for months to no avail. My brand new crv is almost un-drivable and it is my only car.
When turning there is a creaking noise coming from the steering wheel. I’ve looked it up on google and a lot of people are have the same issue. I took it to the dealership for a recall that the vehicle had for them to put grease in the steering box and I told them about the sound. The dealership told me that it’s a loose cable in the steering wheel causing the sound and that Honda might come out with a recall to fix it. They did not fit it and I was told to wait for the recall to come out. Sounds very unsafe to have a loose cable in my steering wheel and it makes me uncomfortable to drive it knowing that. Idk if it put me and my family at risk or other drivers on the road at risk. I feel like this should be something addressed very quickly for the safety of everyone and it’s very common from what I’ve soon on google. I hope this recall comes out soon.
Has very stiff steering,hard to keep CA,r going straight,car wants to wander from side to side in lane. Has 400 miles on it. Did this when new, getting worst every day.
I purchased a brand new 2025 crv on sept. 29, 2024. 3 months after purchase, I started noticing a noise when I would make a turn. It sounded like rocks being thrown around. It turned out to be my cable reel/clock spring. A month after replacement, my steering wheel started making a clicking noise when driving straight or turning. It was confirmed again that it was the cable reel/clock spring… only this time, they put padding around to “please me. ”.

I was driving to the mailbox today and the car revved forward and the steering became hard to control and steer. This is the second incident. When I originally reported to the supervisong service agent at my Honda of katy, mr. John kasimoff, he dismissed it since the "check engine light" did not turn off. He and the staff at Honda of katy discouraged me from bringing in the car. I am afraid to drive the car in texas. A car is necessary for my livelihood and to get around. Food shopping and to buy simple basic necessities require an automobile and can no longer afford taking ubers and depend on the kindness of friends to assist me with deliveries and other transportation. The recall came merely days after purchasing my new car and it's suspect to me that no one at the dealership was unaware of ongoing issues when they keep contacting me about purchasing. Honda has yet to send information on when a possible solution for parts and service to my vehicle. They referred me to the Honda of katy dealership but the dealership is referring me back to Honda automotive. I need assistance because I want repairs and a full diagnostic made to my Honda Cr-v hybrid sport without any more delays.

I received a recall notice (#24v-744). I have twice scheduled appointments with Honda of mentor (ohio) to service the recall, and I have twice been cancelled, in that a "part" was unavailable. The service manager has promised to personally call me when the part is available. Meanwhile, I am driving a car with a "steering" problem, and I am concerned about safety. I assume that a recall for a steering issue is a serious matter. Is there any help for this problem? thank you.

Steering wheel became locked or froze up during drive. It happened several times on different days without advanced warning. Service department of dealership checked it but didn’t find anything wrong, they didn’t observe this problem during checking. But this problem persists after I drove the car back from service dept. I am so afraid that it will result in serious accidents.
This is a complaint about the unresolved recall that I have been put on a waitlist for many months now. The dealership said that Honda will mail me when the parts will be ready for repaired, but it’s been many months since the NHTSA saying the remedy is available. My appointment with the dealership had been canceled the last minute by my dealership after a promise of a mailing notice, but time has flew long enough. I am afraid for my safety on the road as my new vehicle is completely within the range of damage for the unresolved remedy.
The component due to an improperly produced steering gearbox worm wheel, the wheel can swell during use, reducing the grease film thickness between the worm wheel and worm gear in which this was recalled on oct 3, 2024 but did not discovered it until oct 13, 2024 in an incident caused by the recall. All of the sudden my steering wheel became hard to maneuver and when I had difficulty turning it, I had something from the issue, as a result the under cover of the car got damaged due this issue in which I didn’t find out when I tried to schedule a service appointment on the Honda website. No the dealer or anyone has reproduced as it was a one time incident. No there was no prior warning about the steering wheel.
I have two recalls (1, improper production of the high-pressure fuel pump; and 2, improperly produced steering gearbox worm wheel) on my car that I have called multiple dealerships about remedying - each time, they have let me know the necessary parts to repair are on back order. I'm most worried about my future safety being at risk considering I have plans to travel long distance soon (one way trip is 12 hours) - I called one of my local Honda dealerships about this concern and they said 'if you don't have any issues now, there's nothing to worry about' - which was quite dismissive. The vehicle/affect components have not been inspected by anyone. Up to this point, there have been no warning indicators of any kind , other than documentation of the recalls from Honda manufacturer.

I first heard of the safety recall in October 2024 regarding: "increased friction between the worn gear and worn wheel can increase steering effort and difficulty, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. " I received a safety recall notice from Honda in November 2024 for my vehicle: manufacturer recall number qjt NHTSA recall number 24v-744 I then scheduled an appointment for the recall repair with my Honda dealer and was given an appt. Two days before my appt I was contacted by the Honda dealer service representative stating that my appt will be canceled because they are not in possession of gear springs. He stated that they do not have any foreseeable date for which they will receive the gear springs and there is a shortage across the state. I stated that I am fearful for my and my family's safety if I drive the car. He stated that he was told by America Honda motor CO , "it is safe to drive the vehicle and that there is no danger of the steering seizing up to cause an accident". He went on to say if I have any issues with the steering to call for an appt, drive it in and they will assess the car to determine if it is related to the recall and then they will contact Honda and see if they can expedite the part. From the time I heard of the recall it took 30 days to receive the official recall notice in order to schedule an appointment, then wait for an appt this month only to have it cancelled by the Honda dealer. Honda is minimizing the importance of this safety recall. The point of a safety recall is to remedy the issue across the board, not wait to see if something happens and then assess whether or not to remedy the issue!.
