problem #108

CR-V

  • miles
Driving on 1000 mile road trip on 12/30. Vehicle has 6800 miles. First noticed very minor twitching, then as day went own by the time I stopped for night the steering had noticeably gotten worse. It went from twitching about half hour after I was on highway to four hours later it was very prominently sticking or catching at the slightest turn in road. Both left and right. I am terrified if it-??s safe to drive the last 400 miles and Honda dealership is closed until Jan 2. There is something very very wrong with this make/model. It-??s all over the internet and people are saying the steering part is on back order for months!!! Why is there no recall yet? There is no doubt this is a safety issue. I can-??t drive thru the mountains not knowing if my steering is going to out.

The steering system recently began to have a sticky feeling after driving straight for a minute or so. After the release that requires extra pressure, the steering is fine until the wheel is going straight and the stickiness returns. appears to be the same issue that has been noted in Civics. Dealer thinks the same thing and a recall just hasn't been issued yet.

Cars steering jolts to the left or right when making minor adjustments at all speeds. Sticky steering. This needs to be addressed and a recall needs to be implemented immediately. This is not safe. When making minor adjustments when steering, there is an obvious wall of resistant that jolts as soon as you overcome that resistance by adding pressure. This can cause serious injury or death due to jolting steering, especially at freeway speeds. Please do something about this issue immediately!!!! 2023 CRV BUILT IN INDIANA MID 2023

-What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" Steering seems to lock when in a constant wheel position, either going straight or slightly turned for a large diameter constant turn. Steering frees with larger than normal force resulting in a jerkiness feeling. The needed effort could ketch the driver off guard and over or undercurrent. -How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Steering feel is unnatural and makes small corrections in steering input difficult. Driver could over correct or not overcome the initial resistance resulting in an unintended path of travel. -Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Experience with local dealers in the past is that if it isn-??t something that jumps out at them from the parking spot to the lift they indicate no problem/issue -Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No -Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear"

When the car is been driving over 55 miles the steering wheel feels like sticky and stock. Most of the problem can be feel it on the highway. Is hard to drive like this because you have to put a lot of effort to drive in a straight lane. I took it to my local dealer and they said is normal but I know is not normal because this start after the 6,000 miles before that it was normal. Im scared if something happens while im driving with my family.

problem #90

Dec 202023

CR-V

  • miles
There is a possible steering rack issue with the 2023 CR-V in which there is a momentary "sticky" or resistant feeling when trying to make steering corrections in order for the vehicle to track in a straight line. This issue seems to be worsening over time, as the sticky feeling is evidently felt at speeds above 30-40 MPH. When driving long distances, it also develops driver fatigue as there is extra steering input required to drive straight. This problem has been reproduced/confirmed by the dealership, and the dealership will be replacing the steering rack to alleviate the issue. No warning lamps or messages appear regarding this problem. This particular vehicle has approximately 10,000 miles.
