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.

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.

While driving the steering became very "tuggy". There was nothing smooth about maneuvering the vehicle. You could steer with little effort, then for no reason it would be real hard to turn, then turn quickly forcing a correction. It changed significantly from the way it was in the first two or three thousand miles. The dealer looked at it and said I could not drive it home. I received a loaner car from Honda, but they are now saying it may be September before I get it back. This is a real safety issue on my new car. It only has 8300 miles. I have nothing from the dealership, but it has been reported to Honda under case number 14550367.

On my 2023 Honda crv sport the steering wheel sticks, you have to constantly be correcting it. it is annoying and one could easily over compensate causing an accident.

"Sticky" steering. The issue of sticky steering in our 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport Touring is becoming more and more of an issue - difficulty maintaining lane control without constant jerking corrections back and forth of the steering wheel. The concern is on slick road surfaces (i.e., ice, snow, gravel, etc.) of being able to maintain control of the vehicle with the possibility of overcorrecting. After three days at local Honda dealership with approximately 140 miles of test drives, we were finally able to get the service manager to recognize the problem. Once they dug further into the documentation I provided them, they were able to convince a Honda representative that it was an issue in the hybrid version of the CRV as prior bulletins did not indicate the hybrid version was affected. According to the dealership, the gearbox component needed to correct the issue is on back order - they have requested escalation but no ETA. There are no warning lamps or messages.
