Our 2019 Honda CRV has a sticking steering problem. We have to constantly adjust to the left or right to keep the car driving straight. We-??ve had the electric steering gearbox motor replaced and it-??s doing it again. The car only has 16000 miles on it. It has to go back for repair, It should be part of the recall. I-??m afraid to drive it.

Issue: At speeds above 40 miles per hour there is resistance in the steering wheel. Although the resistance is in a narrow range, it increases with speed. Steering issues may cause a safety hazard. Dealer Diagnostic: Local Honda dealer performed a diagnostic and test drive and confirmed the resistance in the steering wheel. The dealer recommended replacing the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) gear box with an estimated cost of $3,770. It is my understanding that the 2017 and 2018 Honda CRVs were under a recall for this issue. My vehicle was manufactured in January 2019, and it had 34,435 miles when the dealer preformed it review on August 20, 2024. The Honda recall might not have completely correct the problem, and it should include additional model years.

Driving on the highway I eased to the left to change lanes and the steering wheel felt stuck. Once I turned a little farther it freed making the car oversteer to the left lane. There were no lights or warnings, and it has been doin the same thing since. The Honda dealer said my rack and pinion needed to be changed, but the problem is widespread and there are no parts available. This to me is a safety issue and I believe Honda should have a recall on these cars. Thank you.

After driving app. 10 min, at speeds above 30 mph. the steering becomes sticky. When the car starts going to the right you of course steer to the left, but you need a lot more force to turn the wheel. It makes a clicking sound when it jumps. My concern is that if it jumps too far into an opposing lane and causes an accident. I'm use to it but it seems to be getting worse. Because of this I won't let anybody else drive the car. I am making an appointment with dealer but after reading the reviews it doesn't seem hopeful.

I was driving slowly yesterday in a parking lot area and the electrical system on my 2019 CRV Touring sent messages that the brakes, power steering, and engine were shutting down. I lost some power steering capabilities and the brakes were not working normally, but were partially working. I called the dealer who was nearby and they said if I could drive it, to try to get to the dealership. I was less than a mile away, so I was able to drive it very slowly without complete power steering. I was told that all of the electrical signals and shut-downs were due to a fuel injector defect and that I would need all fuel injectors replaced. I have had my Honda regularly serviced without missing any needed service appointments. Prior to the electrical system shut-down yesterday, my Honda was on a recall list for a new fuel pump, which was incorrectly installed, had to be reinstalled a second time, only to find out from Honda that they had made an error and should not have sent me a letter that my Honda was under a recall for a defective fuel pump. The electrical issues began to surface soon after the second fuel pump install (the reinstall due to incorrect install the first time). It also needs to be noted that my car cabin smelled of gas for several days after the fuel pump installs, and if I fill up my gas tank to full, the cabin of my car has a gas smell. My battery immediately died shortly after the second fuel pump install and it was only approximately 2 years old. The screen where my indicators are will frequently shut down for no reason from time to time, but then will come back on. Yesterday was the first time that all systems sent warnings that everything was going to shut down, and the steering and brake systems were compromised. My family and I have concerns regarding the safety of this vehicle at this time.

My 2019 Honda CRV began having power steering issues in mid 2024. The harder I turn the wheel in one direction the more the power steering pulls in the exact opposite direction. This results in the wheel needing to be held tightly during turns to ensure it does not forcefully turn the wrong direction. My local Honda dealer says the problem is with the rack and pinion and it needs to be fully replaced. There has been no warning light indicating the problem, and the problem only started recently after getting a strut replaced.

The rack and pinion in a 2019 CRV with 52K miles is already broken

- Pasadena, TX, USA

When driving, the Steering feels like it -??sticks-?? in one position. The problem has been ongoing for about a year and has gotten worse. My vehicle now has 28,294 miles on it but is out of warranty due to time. I had it to the dealership today and was told the part to fix it is the steering rack and is already on back order and cannot predict when it can be repaired at a cost of 3500.00-4000.00. I was told by the service department tech that it is safe to drive, but I don-??t think it is as it creates more effort to steer.

The steering sticks and gets stuck. I have to turn the wheel so hard at times, the vehicle wants to veer into the other lane. I could hit another car or drive off the road. Occurs at high or low speed. I have taken the vehicle to the Honda dealership and they confirmed "electronic steering rack assembly internal malfunction. The dealership Honda of Sarasota Florida indicated this is very common problem. The issue is so common the part is on nationwide back order from Honda. The vehicle is unsafe to drive and the repair estimate is $3826. No ETA on parts.

Eight months ago while returning home from a road trip my steering began acting strange. Seemed sticky. Not smooth. I disengaged the cruise control but the problem was still there. After returning home it was not as noticeable unless I drove a minimum of 10-15 minutes.. Then I began hearing a clicking sound coming from the steering wheel and when driving on an interstate for about 20 minutes the effort to keep the steering wheel from sticking to the left or right becomes very tiring. A constant battle. The problem is getting worse and more pronounced. I disengaged the Lane Departure Feature but it didn-??t improve anything. I-??ve recently taken the vehicle to the Honda Dealer and I now have to replace the Steering Rack at a cost of $3500 before tax and front end alignment. I am waiting for a steering rack to become available as there is a nationwide shortage at this time. My dealership is familiar with this problem as they get daily complaints of this issue. I will not be driving this vehicle on my planned summer vacation until it-??s fixed. I don-??t feel it-??s safe. The effort to overcome the stickiness in the steering wheel becomes very exhausting. I can-??t imagine driving several hundred miles in this condition. Frankly, I-??m not certain it-??s even safe to drive any distance as I worry it may one day Lock Up.

*This car was parked in the driveway 2 days without being driven before the following incident* ALSO- there are recalls for this make and model. Honda always said that the recalls do not include my car. Recalls should be expanded to include mine since the car is un drivable at the Honda service center. WHAT HAPPENED: Alarm went off on car in driveway. Horn constantly going off. Smoke came out around steering wheel and inside the vehicle filled with smoke. All lights came on dash. Gears were locked up and had to manually put in neutral to get on tow truck. Car is at Honda dealership in cumming GA. Said I needed steering wheel cable, srs unit, safety restraints unit, & brake boosters. They put parts on. Did same thing to them as it did in my driveway. Horn & smoke & all!! Now they say it needs steering wheel & the harness is on back order until August 28! and that my vin # is NOT on the recall but I believe it should be. This car could have caused a fire and was parked beside my house. My family and I were at risk and almost called police and fire department. Newborn baby, & other family members inside the home. Family members disconnected the battery because horn was so loud. All these repairs are headed towards $9000 & this is insane. This is my only vehicle. I must have transportation!

For about the last 6 months, we have experienced the "sticky steering" during every drive. I did not realize other Honda CRVs have been having the same issue, although it appears most reported model years have been newer than our 2019 model. There have been no "check engine" or warning lights on the dash. We have had a few experiences of the CRV being difficult to maintain within the lane while driving, although luckily no accidents at this time. We took our CRV to the Honda dealer who was able to experience the steering issue of our CRV, and acknowledged the current solution is to replace the steering gearbox assembly, which was quoted at $3500 (labor included), and the gearbox assembly is on national backorder with no estimated time of being available. To make the situation worse, the dealership requires a full payment upfront of the cost for the part ($2500). This steering gearbox issue is a huge safety concern, and without an estimated time of remedy, our confidence in Honda at this point in time is not the highest.

My car is having sticking steering and creaky noise when it turns. I googled this online. They have over 500,000 cars with the same issue. I went to get it checked out they want me to pay $3400 to get this fixed. I believe this is a major safety issue. Steering sticks at high speed very scary. The parts are on backorder, which leads me to believe there-??s multiple cars having same issue. what I read into this is that Honda is more worried about the profit versus the safety of their consumers and their loyal consumers. that is over 500,000 cars with the same issue. Honda should be fixing these for charge. I have an injured in this car. It is the only one I have to drive. Before they fix it. I think they should fix it for free because it-??s obviously a defect and 100,000 cars and therefore their liability to protect their customers. When you call her number, they talk about safety. They don-??t give a dam about safety they only care about making a profit.
