Recently purchased a used 2022 honda crv. We t99k a trip to Denver and I noticed the steering wheel became "sticky" above 35mph. I had to be careful not to overcompensate. I read up on this problem and found out similar models from 22-24 are effected but there's no active recall. I haven't taken it to a dealer yet. Wanted to make the NHTSA aware my vehicle has a similar issue in hopes that something will be done that is not at my expense. The problem still persists since the original discovery. The vehicle has 43000 miles so it is no longer under warranty.

My steering has a "sticky" moment when I try to turn right. It happens after 20 min. drive and is worst on speed over 55 m/h on highway when is difficult to keep the car in lane. I went to Honda dealer 2 times, but because there is no warning light on dash board, they were not concern. They tested my car on back roads on slow speed and when the engine was cold, no more than 5 min. They didn't reproduce the condition when this "sticky steering" happens on my car. This problem happened in my first year of lease after 10,000 miles when it was just a light sticking when turn right. Now after 22,000 miles the problem is worst even a noise as "crack" comes some times from my front wheels. Dealer told 'me they can't do anything until a recall is coming or something happen to my car like a stuck steering. This is not normal to wait until I would have an accident because of power steering

Steering sticking when turning the steering wheel it seems to stick in certain locations

- Okatie, SC, USA

There is a point in the steering system where the wheel sticks momentarily, both left and right. It only happens after driving long distances when the car is fully warmed up. My wife was downright frightened driving it from Missoula to Spokane WA on [XXX] at free way speeds, there are many curves in this road and it stuck repeatedly. She was able to force it past the point of resistance each time but it's very disconcerting. Honda dealer in Spokane test drove it and says it's fine. We are trying to get it in again and demand that the rack and pinion be replaced. I have a video of what it does - after a long drive as I was pulling into the garage it was sticking and I was able to capture it.

I am experiencing steering wheel sticking and clunkig after the car warms up and typically 40 minutes into the drive. The dealership has denied this and claimed it was a low voltage issue with the battery. While turning in a gentle curve it sticks and requires more effort to steer and also makes a clucking sound. I am concerned about the ability to control my vehicle and that if the steering sticks I may crash. I have reported the issue with Honda but they say that all I can do is take the car to the dealership for diagnostics. Two different dealerships have had it for extended times and claimed nothing is wrong however I have video of me driving and this occuring on multiple occassions. Honda's denial of this issue will cause injuries to bystanders. No warning lights have come on. The issues began in november of 2023 and are progressively getting worse.

-??Sticky steering-?? Seems like there is an investigation into this already but no recall for the 2022 cr-v. Sticky steering causes the wheel to stick in place and require more force to turn the wheel resulting in dangerous jerky steering at high speeds.

Lately there is resistance in the steering. When driving with wheel in "fixed" position such as straight lane or gradual turn on exit ramp, it is more difficult to turn the wheel out of this fixed position. The problem seems to be getting worse, and I am concerned about safety. What if at some point it resists moving all together and I am unable to steer? Honda dealer checked it out and found no codes and said there is nothing wrong. I have been driving Hondas with EPS for years - this is not typical.

Since fall 2023 the steering has been sticking and jerky, originally at highway speeds but now at nearly all speeds. It feels like lane-assist is engaging but it-??s not. This becomes dangerous when the steering requires more pressure than anticipated, potentially resulting in overcompensation. For example, when traveling 70 hours mph and navigating a slight curve in the road, the steering wheel will stick and nearly cause a lane change which requires a quick turn of the wheel. The vehicle was taken to a Honda dealer and I participated in a ride-along with the technician, who could not reproduce the issue. There are no warning lamps or codes visible.

Steering is difficult - it sticks and requires extra effort to steer the vehicle

- Bryan, TX, USA

While exiting the highway the steering wheel stuck in a turn and it extra took force to straighten to stay within the limits of the roadway. The care swerved form due to over correcting and took work to keep it on the road. The steering seems to have a sticking point in it causing to over correct to get past this point in the gearbox. I have also noticed a clicking noise at low speeds when moving the steering wheel from side to side. I had originally thought that this was due to the lane keep assist but this was turned off at the time of the near accident.

- Yukon, OK, USA

While on a 5 hour trip on the freeway/highway, when following a right curve, my steering wheel hesitated before returning to the left as the curve straightened out. This occurred at every significant right curve for the duration of the drive. It does not happen at less than 60 MPH.

- Burien, WA, USA

Problem with car was first noticed around 16,300 miles. The severity of the problem is intermittent. Sometimes it happens about 15- 20 times in a mile and at other times just a few. The steering wheel is pulled to the right when not steering in that direction. It almost feels like the lane assist is on, but it is not. Also, when backing out of a parking spot and the wheel is pulled at a sharp angle there is a creaking sound and the steering wheel has intermittent resistance. The car was brought to a Honda service center at 16,598 and they could not reproduce the problem until I drove the car with them and then they agreed that there is a problem. I was told it needs a gearbox/motor set, which is on backorder. I was told that I could still drive my car.

Steering wheel becomes "jerky" and sticks, then suddenly releases causing car to move quickly in one direction. Difficult to keep in place. Also makes loud popping sound when turning. This can cause car to come in contact with whatever is beside you, a car in another lane, or a barrier or ditch on the opposite side. This can obviously cause an accident putting driver and passengers in danger and also those not in the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer I purchased the car from and they have stated it is unsafe for highway travel. They said I could drive around town, but that prohibits my driving to other areas. Also, feels unsafe driving even locally. They have ordered new system but says part is on backorder and they don't know when it will be in. There were no warning lights regarding this issue. Car has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance or others, just the Honda dealer where purchased.

Steering sticks significantly when turning left, I have to use force to correct the steering when it sticks. On the highway any left steering adjustments from wind or lane changes the steering sticks and I have to pull right on the steering wheel to correct the issue. This is not safe at all

When driving 25-45 mph on winding roads, the front right tire feels like it's grabbing the road when I'm following a slight right hand curve in the road - then the steering wheel bounces back when I straighten the wheels to follow the road. The steering wheel feels twitchy while I'm driving at speeds under 50 mph. No one has been injured or put in danger to this point in time when this happens. I had the car serviced on 5/1/2024 and a Tech drove the car but wasn't able to duplicate the experience. The tires were rotated and a 4 wheel alignment was done. However, the same issue appeared after leaving the dealership. It's listed as a 45HOZ05 - Suspension Concern. I leased this 2022 CRV Touring AWD on October 28, 2022 and the Steering Problem started occurring in late 2023. I called my salesman while I was driving and experiencing the problem in late 2023 and told him about the weird steering. The first year I drove the car, there weren't any issues. But at about 8,500 miles, the pulling while steering started. There haven't been any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms before or during the problem.
