When driving on the freeway for a longer distance the steering wheel will stick when attempting to stay in my lane. It will come loose after a little harder pull, but an over correction could cause an accident. Also, the inability to properly stay in my own lane could endanger others. My husband drove the car on a recent trip and experienced it for the first time himself. We have had the vehicle to the dealer 3 times. They still have the car right now, but say they have been unable to reproduce the event and that nothing is showing up on their testing. This issue may not be enough to trigger the computer as an issue, but I can assure you my inability to stay in my lane is scary. This problem (at this time) is not a lock up of the steering wheel, but rather a stiffing and a temporal slight stick of the steering wheel. At one point in slow traffic after the car had been drive. For about 5 hours on a trip, you could hear a click when I had to pull a little harder to get it to unstick. The problem initially started a few years ago, but the dealership was able to calibrate the car and possibly oiled something and it was fine from that time forward; until recently. I took it to the dealer. They said they could not duplicate the issue, but recalculated the car. Told me to drive it and see if the problem was fixed. I had left my car overnight. It seemed to be okay, so we went out of town. The problem came back and was more prevalent than before and my husband experienced it. We took the car in and left it overnight again. This brings us to today. They still have my car and can-??t (according to them) duplicate the problem.

UPDATE TO REPORTED PROBLEM FROM 2/14/2022 - After Coggin Honda said that I should have the 2018 CR-V rack and pinion steering box replaced at a cost of $3,000, I considered selling the car but I tried to fix the problem myself. I found that the steering column has a bushing behind the steering wheel that I thought was causing the steering to be stiff and be unsafe and made a noise as the steering wheel was moved from a stationary position. All of this I showed to a service writer at the dealership. So I removed the cowl under the steering wheel and used WD-40 to lubricate the bushing as much as I could access it and then turning the wheel several turns to work in the lube. The unsafe steering problem was FIXED and the dealer was very willing to charge me for an expensive replacement repair that would NOT have fixed it!

While on a trip of about 600 miles noticed that the steering felt "sticky"; there was a miniscule hesitation in the steering when turning or changing lanes. Upon arrival at destination I took vehicle to nearest Honda dealership where they diagnosed "a problem with the electronic steering" and advised that the vehicle not be driven until repaired. Part to repair was not available. After $500 spent on rental car to get home and flight back 2 weeks later the car seems fine with the replaced rack and pinion assembly.

the steering wheel sticks or has some resistance when returning to straight position from a right turn position. It has been doing this for several months. I have to give it a pull to center which is enough to swerve into the left lane of traffic. This happens at any speed but at high speed this is dangerous! I went to the dealer Coggin Honda in Ft Pierce, FL to have the service dept. confirm this symptom. A service writer told me that the Rack and Pinion Steering unit is malfunctioning and should be replaced. This car has 11,000 miles on it and the steering unit CAN'T be worn out so it must be defective and will be very unsafe as it seems that it is getting worse.

After running the vehicle for more than 10-15 miles from start the steering sticks and jerky while making a curve and won't move back out of this catch without applying an extra force. This could cause the vehicle to cut the lane unintentionally and is dangerous. I had taken it to the dealer on 3/16/21 and they couldn't recreate the problem as they won't drive more than 5miles. I am getting this problem every time I drive more than 10-15 miles.
