Steering effort increases at high speeds. Difference in effort can make driver to over steer or under steer.

- Stafford, TX, USA

I purchased this car 12 months ago and I have noticed over the last 4 months that the steering wheel has become stiffer, and sometimes vibrates slightly. I have not been involved in any accident because of these issues, but the potential is there. I was hoping that these problems were going to work themselves out, but a lot of other owners are complaining about the same issue. So, I am going to notify the dealership this week.

No Accident-Sticking Steering. Took it in for service 12/30/23. Told it was too dangerous to drive. No parts to fix available until April 2024. parts on back order. Will not have my car for over 3 months. Not fair,

- Little River, SC, USA

Vehicle has 10,000 miles on it, steering started feeling strange and gradually got worse to the point we did not feel safe driving it. It was hard to keep the vehicle driving in a straight line and would stick when you tried to turn either direction. A few time we almost hit the vehicle next to us because it would suddenly unstick or break free and the vehicle would lunge in the direction of the turn. We took it to our local Honda service center and they diagnosed it as a defective steering gear assembly (rack & pinion). Part is on backorder and we were told it could be up to four months for a replacement. Vehicle has been at the dealership for two weeks. We were given a loaner but are restricted as to how many miles and where we can drive it, no trips over 100mi.

The steering is sticky, not smooth. This happens around 40 mph and higher. I took the vehicle to the dealership in Wichita within the past week. This was the second time I had the vehicle in to the dealership for this problem. They performed an alignment the first time on Nov. 3, 2023. Last week, they said they found nothing wrong with the steering. This started happening last summer. It didn't bother me a great deal at first but started to get worse. I purchased the CR-V in February 2023. The problem worries me because I feel the steering could fail at higher speeds, and I frequently drive family members in the vehicle. I can make the vehicle available for inspection.

The steering has become -??Sticky-??. It almost feels like it gets locked into place for about 10 seconds and then will release and will repeat this same process over and over. When the car is completely off, you can move the steering wheel and it almost feels like a rack and pinion issue. This has been going on for about 6 months. It doesn-??t matter the speed you are driving at, you can feel it -??catching-?? anytime. My husband has a 2023 Honda Accord and has no steering issues, so it-??s definitely noticeable when I drive my vehicle vs driving his car. I drive on a very windy road to and from work everyday, and I worry that an accident will occur if this issue isn-??t resolved. Which also brings me to worry, if it is resolved, do I have to worry about this arising in the future?

- Houston, TX, USA

When driving about 30mph the steering wheel begins to -??stick-?? and has some resistance when steering. Subtle now, but fear it may get worse.

- Marysville, WA, USA

There is an intermittent problem when making slight adjustments to steering. It feels like the steering wheel is slightly "catching on something" or the steering is not smooth. It happens when the vehicle is moving and stationary. The dealer could not feel it. They only said that since it is electronically controlled steering, it is not going to be smooth. I could not believe this and I am worried that it could become worse or something could completely fail in the future. The problem was not present upon purchase of the vehicle, but began after about 5000 miles.

- Tucson, AZ, USA

The dealership has the car because of STICKY STEERING. While driving in the freeway, the steering is sticky and makes it hard to operate the vehicle properly. This is a major liability because it feels you don't have full control of the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. Most critical of this error is there are no warning signals nor error codes

- Morrow, GA, USA

Vehicle only has 21000 miles on it. At the 19000 mile range the steering started to stick while making normal highway adjustments. Took it to the dealer this morning and was told it-??s normal. This is not normal!!! This steering problem has been getting worse. Help!!!!!!!!!!

- Juneau , WI, USA

During routine driving at all speeds the steering wheel will randomly move between 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch causing a slight movement of the car. Took car to Honda dealership and was advised that the EPS rack is bad. Car has approximately 15,000 miles and has no accident history. My concern is that, according to the dealer, is that the replacement parts will not be available for several months. I was advised that they have another customer with the same issue that was identified in October and the part is due to arrive in April. I was advised that the car is safe to drive, however my concern is it will get progressively worse in the six months it will take the replacement part to arrive. At what point does a known steering issue become unsafe?

- Mobile, AL, USA

When driving, especially on the interstate/high speeds, my steering wheel feels to be locked into place. I am unable to easily turn left or right to stay in my lane without a jerk/sticky feeling in the wheel. It feels like I have cranked the wheel as far as it will go, but the wheel is centered. The steering wheel will also occasionally randomly jerk small amounts either left or right. It makes interstate driving feel very unsafe and like I do not have full control. I had my alignment fixed a few months ago, but I have not taken it back to the dealership for this issue. No warning lights/messages.

- Kingsport, TN, USA

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.

- Murphy, NC, USA

Driving around corners and steering will not return back to center-??-??will stay in turning position and must force the steering wheel back to center -??..as to unstick it. The Sticky steering can be felt and even heard when reversing and turning to maneuver in place to park. The problem was confirmed by Honda dealer of Port Charlotte, Florida where a steering rack has been ordered. BACKORDERED UNTIL April or May. No warning lights or messages of any kind.
