At highway speeds with the lane assist off the steering will fight you to return to center after steering on a corner. It feels like the steering could stay locked causing an accident not having full control of the steering. The car starting having issues around 55,000 miles.

While driving the suv I notice a pulling sensation in the steering wheel. It feels as though it's going to lockup. Most times while I'm turning I can feel some resistance as though it's trying to avoid the turn. It's definitely not 'normal'! I've read many complaints and they're all similar, having same issues as I.

The electric power steering motor needs to be replaced - Honda has been the only one to diagnosed this. The steering sticks and makes it difficult to turn in curves. Two hands on steering is necessary and still unable to make a smooth turn. Feels like the steering is going to go out in the middle of a turn. Steering makes clicking sounds when moving. No warning lamps. no leak in power steering yet. Problem has existed for at least a year where it's been difficult to drive.

- Greenville, TX, USA

Steering feels stuck and requires extra force to move while driving. This issue started little more than a year ago, but initially, it seemed like a very minor thing; but now its getting worse. Initially, I called the dealer and showed him the recall notice no. C2N, P2O (enclosed). Dealer said my VIN no. cars were not affected by the recall notice. I would beg to disagree.

- Monroe, CT, USA

The steering of my car felt as though there was a resistance when driving it. It felt as though there was a force pushing my wheel. It resembled what it felt like if I had lane keep assist on and was trying to maintain the lane, but I did not have that feature on. It did not happen all the time, either. I could drive it one day and not experience anything but the next day, I would. I had it diagnosed by the dealership and they stated the rack and pinion is intermittently seizing and deemed my vehicle unsafe to drive. There is an active recall on my exact year, make, model car but they stated that my vin does not match the active recall list. I was not injured but had it gone out, it could have potentially caused injury. No lights appeared on my dash and I honestly wasn't sure if something was really wrong with my car until I noticed the recall and decided to take it and have it looked at. I knew something didn't feel right but I had no idea my entire rack and pinion was bad and my car was unsafe to drive. I probably would not have taken it in had I not noticed the active recall.

A gap or space of no steering for 1 to 2 seconds. Happen after 30 min on highway seems dangerous, I told my dealer and they said I had too much air in one tire. That was at 25000 miles.now at 32000 miles it starts to happen after 15 min driving.

Over a period of time the electronic steering and rack & pinion became stiff and resistant to turns and lane changes. I called the Honda dealer and they confirmed that Honda has a partial recall for this issue but my car vin number was not part of the recall. I requested a call from their service department several times for a quote to repair it but they never returned my call. I had an independent mechanic check it and order the parts from Honda. He successfully repaired it. I also had to get the car alignment done after the repair. Everything has been working as it should after the repair. I spent $2407.50 for the steering repair and $105 for the alignment for a total of $2512.50.

When driving down the highway or street, making a turn large or small the steering catches and seems to stick at any speed from15 to 75. Then it will act normal. I was doing 25 mph on a left turn corner and the steering wheel stuck turning left. I was able to turn back to right and get it to unstick but it was scary. At least I was not going real fast when it totally stuck. I called Superstion Honda in Mesa and have made an appointment to have them check it out. I did look up about what may cause this and found a recall on the steering but my VIN says no recalls on it. I definetly have a problem and hope to find out what it is. It was suggested to me to file a report on this as it could be a serious safety problem. We went on a road trip this summer July 2022 and really noticed it when we were on the freeways. And last week it actually stuck on the left turn. So we decided this is more than our imagination.

Steering wheel feels like it almost locks up and driver must give a slight jerk to turn wheels! Makes a clicking or rattling noise when car is stopped when starting to turn the steering wheel. Very scary and dangerous when driver has to jerk the steering wheel traveling on the highway to keep vehicle in the safe lane. A wreck will happen which is what I told our local Honda Dealership!

- Columbus, NE, USA

When turning right, heard popping noise from wheel and right front wheel stuttering action. Upon inspection found right front CV axle joint to BE blown apart and boots torn. This could result in loss of steering power and result in a crash. Mechanic said had 3 other 2018 Honda CR-V's with approximately all the same mileage with the same exact problem. Clearly this is a mechanical defect. What are the odds of the same mechanic having multiple incidents of the same problem in the same model car within the same week" How many other exact incidents across the country is this occurring"
