My cars steering wheels starts to -??stick-?? the further I drive. I notice when I-??m driving on the interstate if my car starts to veer the steering wheel doesn-??t easily turn. I have to yank the wheel in order to veer the car back on the road. I notice it started happening around November 2023 and it occurs most frequently the farther I drive.

Filed complaint recently. Talked to dealer and was told that 184 of these Power Steering units are on Back Order with NO ESIMATED DELIVERY DATE. This is criminal. Honda says the problem as an inconvenience and will not lockup the steering. I would not like to be the first one that happens too. THIS NEEDS TO BE ESCALATED TO A RECALL.

I have noticed a "sticky steering" feeling while driving. It has pulled me into oncoming traffic at times, I am in the process trying to get it repaired, hopefully not at cost to me. The car only has 15K miles on it, and it is frustrating.

I feel the steering wheel sticky after the car start moving about a short distance like a mile. It happens at all speeds. I started noticing the problem about 3 or 4 months after I bought the car. The problem occasionally went away but happens most of the time. The steering wheel doesn't move smoothly when I try to make minor adjustment. On 4-17-2024 I was making a right turn into a parking space. I was moving at very low speed. Just before the car stopped I felt I hit something. I thought my right rear wheel hit the curb. I got out and looked around there was no curb. I think it came from the steering mechanism. There was no warning alarm or light.

While driving above 40 mph the steering has a sticky feeling and doesn-??t return to center position while turning. Steering has a grabbing feeling while turning and stick in that position until forcing the steering wheel to correct itself

Vehicle started exhibiting a sticking of the power steering. Dealer drove the vehicle and confirmed the problem existed. A replacement power steering rack was ordered on 2/13 24. A phone call was made on 4/18/24 to check on the status. I was told September is the earliest expected date for the parts. This type of delay is unacceptable.

I began to experience "sticky steering" on my nearly new vehicle. The steering would temporarily "freeze" and would require some effort to turn. I took the vehicle to my dealer service department and they confirmed the problem. They ordered a replacement part in December, 2023. As of this date (18 April, 2024) the replacement part has not arrived, and the dealer says that it will likely not arrive until September or later. I have uploaded a copy of the dealier service invoice that confirms the diagnosis. I feel the vehicle is unsafe to drive, and I drive it as little as possible.

When steering to the left, at moderate to high speed, the steering (steering wheel) sticks to the left such that the driver must intentionally "un-steer" the vehicle. Started around 3k miles and has become gradually worse until now at 12k miles. Last incident caused me to cross double-yellow line and could easily have caused a head-on collision (by sheer luck it did not). Took CR-V to Weir Canyon Honda and they did something (?) and I could not reproduce. A week later it's doing it again. I see NHTSA investigation EA23003 estimating 500,000+ vehicles affected. Why is this not a recall yet?

My vehicle component or system that I believed malfunctioned was the steering wheel. My vehicle steering wheel feels at times like it got lock while driving on the highway and off the highway. My vehicle is available for inspection at any time upon request. Due to this problem with my vehicle I panic for a couple of seconds, took my eyes off the road, without keeping a safe distance with other drivers. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I have taken my vehicle for regular services and have reported this problem to my dealer. But nothing has been found wrong with my vehicle as of today. My vehicle has not been inspected by the police, insurance representative or others since my dealership has not found anything wrong with it. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the problems. I have taken my vehicle for other concerts as well that have been corrected but this with my steering wheel.

While driving, the steering wheel either jerks or becomes sticky in the left or right position in an unsafe manner. This has become an everyday occurrence for this vehicle.

- Ewa Beach , HI, USA

While driving either straight or turning the vehicle seems to "stick" even the tiniest bit. When turning it feels as if the tires are stuck or while driving straight, maintaining a straight line can be complicated by the steering feeling as if it is stuck. Even the tiniest bit of movement in the steering is a jerking motion rather than fluid movement. It is a very scary and dangerous feeling while driving. I have tried contacting my dealership and can't seem to get anywhere. This is EXTREMELY frustrating!

Vehicle has about 8,120 miles on odometer. When going straight at 45 MPH for 1/4 mile, turning either right or left requires greater force to turn the steering wheel - it gets "stuck" in the straight position. This is referred to as the "sticky steering issue". It causes the driver to use more than normal force to free the wheel from stuck, but then when free, wheel turning resistance goes much lower. Sometimes this causes the vehicle to move over in the lane more than the driver intended, when the steering wheel "unsticks". The local Honda dealer has confirmed the problem, BUT, now says replacement steering parts to fix are a 7 month wait...This is quite unreasonable to wait for a warranty repair on a potential safety issue.

When I'm driving at highway speeds, and have been in a lane for some time, if the lane starts to arc to the right or left, I find that I have to exert some force to get the car to follow the lane. In other words, the steering wheel seems to be stuck to keep the car going in a particular direction, and requires me to "un-stick-it" to stay in my lane. this issue also occurs when I'm managing a highway overpass, wherein, if I have to change the arc of the turn tighter or looser to stay in my lane, I'll have to exert some force to un-stick the steering wheel. I can't remember when I haven't had this problem with the car, since I typically don't drive highways that often - most of my driving is on city streets, however, I believe I started noticing this problem since the Fall of 2023. I'll drive to check on a project I have in Arlington, TX or to an office building I manage in Farmers Brach, TX from my home in Plano, TX about one or twice a month, and that's when I'll notice it. The most recent time I noticed it was this past Sunday [XXX] as I drove from my home in Plano to Farmers Branch (approx 15 miles one way).

We are experiencing stiff & jerky steering on our 2023 Honda CRV with current mileage of 9,600. Vehicle is available for inspection. We are concerned that if steering wheel were to lockup, we might not be able to avoid a collision. This would put us & others in danger. At the dealership on April 9, 2024 the problem was confirmed to be in the power steering. They told us a replacement part has been ordered, but it is on back order & they are unsure how long it will take to receive it. They assured us the vehicle is safe to drive. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else. There is no warning lamp or message alerting us to the problem.

Steering wheel was jerking while I was driving. I took the car to the dealership where I was told the car would need a new steering rack. Some part of it was failing and that is why the steering wheel would move on it's own. I believe my safety was put at risk, because at any moment the steering rack would not work as it should and jerk, or potentially stop working, while I was driving. There were no warning messages given by the car. The issue started at around 9000 miles.
