problem #8

Oct 162023

CR-V

  • miles
The Honda Cr-V steering feels like it sticks for a couple seconds and then resumes control. Lane assist is not one. The problem is getting worse. At first I thought it was just uneven pavement, but now it's noticeable on smooth pavement, especially at higher speeds. Maintaining straight driving feels jerky.

problem #7

CR-V

  • miles
Sticky steering making it difficult to keep the car going straight as the steering adjustments can't be gradual. This occurs in straight lines, gradual turns and around tight corners. Issue starts around 30 mph and gradually gets worse as speed increases. As of now, this is resulting in the dealer replacing the rack and pinion assembly.

problem #6

Oct 042023

CR-V

  • miles
At speeds above 40 miles on the highway, the steering occasionally feels sticky or resistant, disrupting the smoothness of the drive. The best way I can explain it is this: Imagine you're driving on a straight road at a speed above 40 Miles, gradual turn with the steering wheel turned only slightly. Then, when you need to adjust it a bit more to stay on the road, it feels like there's a momentary increase in resistance, almost as if the steering briefly "sticks" and then returns to its usual firmness. It's as if the steering wheel gets stuck in a groove during the gentle turn, and the resistance doesn't have a smooth feel when you're trying to adjust further into or out of the turn. If I were to make an educated guess, it could be related to one of the safety systems integrated into the steering mechanism. This issue seems to persist even when Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist are turned off.

With the lane assist TURNED OFF, the steering wheel is jerked one direction or another. It makes a constant working of the wheel for steering, particularly at highway speeds. You feel like you are constantly fighting the car-??s steering. It is a jerk every few seconds that you have to fight to correct. 4031 miles on the new car purchased in May 2023. Definitely feels dangerous.

Vehicle had sudden clunking noise near right front tire when being driven. Vehicle had TPMS light on. Vehicle has never been in a car accident, never has hit a bump at a high speed, and has never been crashed into anything. I was alarmed and scared of the sudden loud clunking noise. I took it immediately to the Norm Reeves Honda Center to get vehicle inspected. As I drove it to the Honda Center I drove slow and with precaution in fear of the car malfunctioning on the road. The vehicle was inspected by service department and confirmed that there was an faulty issue and the vehicle must stayed from 8/12/2023 to 8/14/2023 for repairs. I received a call from Honda Center and they informed me that the vehicle had the following issue. -??Right front sway link nut loose during inspection & found tire pressure was uneven-??. Inspector reported that the loose nut issue came from factory and that it was indeed a faulty sway link. Honda Center did the following to repair the issue, -??Retighten nut & reset tire pressure to factory specs-?? I now have picked up vehicle from Honda Center and the TPMS light reappeared once again. I still feel uneasy driving the vehicle. I feel uneasy knowing that my vehicle had a faulty sway link and could have potentially caused me to loose control of the steering wheel, flip/roll over and killed/injured me and/or others in a car accident. I am fearful that the nut from the sway link can loosen up again and put me at risk of danger once again.

Steering wheel issue: I had a similar issue with my old 22 Civic. Now it's a known and common problem, it's hard to make small adjustments. It may not be related to the speed or the use of LKAS. There is no warning on the dashboard. Brake pedal: Randomly I feel friction on the pedal when I press it. Like the steering wheel issue it starts to happen and disappears. No warning messages. LKAS giving false warnings, especially when going backwards.

I bought a brand new 2023 CRV Hybrid Sport and am having issues with the steering. When at speeds greater than 20 mph, the steering becomes stiff and hard to maneuver. It makes it impossible to swerve out of the way of a dangerous life threatening situation in front of a driver Significant force and two hand driving is needed to steer left and right at higher speeds The vehicle is brand new, only 44 miles on it so far
