The steering -??sticks-?? and becomes difficult to manage. Honda has a service bulletin (23-037) the car becomes difficult to drive in a highway you feel like your fighting the wheel to keep the vehicle straight

- St Petersburg, FL, USA

Steering wheel sticking when attempting to maintain driving in a straight line, or when attempting to change lanes. It seems as though the steering wheel is fighting me. Vehicle was purchased new during August 2023 with four (4) miles on the odometer. At that time there were no noticeable steering issues. Beginning December 2023, with approximately 1550 miles on the odometer is when I first began experiencing the issue. There were no warning lights and/or messages prior to first experiencing the issue. The issue seems to be getting worse as vehicle mileage increases. As of this date 12/26/2023, I have not had an accident. However when the steering wheel sticks I have to jerk the steering wheel to maintain a straight line causing the vehicle to over compensate. On occasions it has set off the Lane Keeping Assist function. Also it sticks when attempting to change lanes. I have not yet reported this issue to my local Honda dealership due to the holidays, but do intend to do so this week. Please note that I have found numerous complaints regarding the issue when doing an Internet search. Supposedly Honda issue a technical service bulletin regarding this issue in July 2023. My vehicle is available for inspection when ever needed. My phone number is [XXX], and my email address is [XXX] should you need to contact me.

My Crv has difficulty in steering. I can go straight down the road and try to change lanes. It can take a strong tug to get it to change lanes. Once it loosens back up it is ok to steer. I took it to the Honda dealer and they said it was normal. I think they are avoiding a dangerous problem. If I turn on the lane keep assist it is even harder to steer. I have reported this before. Nothing gets logged I will try a different dealer after the holidays. Why should I have to lemon law a car for a common problem.

Steering is jerky and has hard spots. Feels like the steering is pushing back. Fights you while driving the whole time.

11/28 My wife was driving her 2024 Honda CR-V on a straight road on a trip of more than an hour in cool weather when she experienced "sticky driving" and had difficulty keeping the vehicle in its lane.

- Todd, NC, USA

Vehicle purchased new - 2024, after 2000 miles noticed periodic sticking/slight jerking of steering wheel when driving at higher speeds on slight curves/corrections for crown of road. When adjusting steering slightly in opposite direction slight sticking felt then release with mild jerk. Increasing in occurrence over next 400 miles - taken to selling dealer service - NCDS case opened.

I was driving on the interstate between 55-65 mph on a straight path when I noticed the steering wheel would stick when I would try to follow the curve of the road. I would have to apply increased steering effort to keep or correct the vehicle-??s path.

The steering wheel sticks and requires extra effort to break it loose to make small adjustments. This seems to happen and get more severe after a minute or two of driving, and especially when speeds approach 35 mph and higher. Very difficult to make small adjustments smoothly when cruising on an interstate or a straighaway. You have to break it loose for small steering moves, and you can even feel the vibration of it breaking loose in the steering wheel itself. Often you can even hear the sound of it breaking loose in the steering column itself. Went to the Honda dealer, and they cant get me in until Feb 1 2024 to even look at it. I notice there is a TSB MC-10239109-0001 concerning steering boxs on Honda's. This started sticking at about 2000 miles on the vehicle, and is getting more consistent. I now have 2800 miles on the vehicle. The dealership seemed to be unaware of the problem but it is all over the internet, and I find it hard to believe they do not know about it as it has been reported on 2022 and 2023 civics and now is apparently affecting the 2024 models.

I am writing to express concern about the steering of my 2024 Honda CR-V (Sport Touring trim). The vehicle was purchased new in September, with about 3,800 miles accumulated so far. When driving at 40 mph or higher in a straight line, there is persistent resistance in the steering wheel. It sticks when making slight straight line corrections. I included lane driving assistance in the "problem parts" section here not knowing if there is a connection. Not only is there resistance, but frequently the steering will suddenly jerk to either side. This is very slight and has not caused a major straight line deviation, but I know this should not occur and for all I know can get worse. I have repeated these circumstances while using and not using any lane assistance. No warning lamps or messages have appeared. I am taking the vehicle to my dealer during the week of 12/11, so no inspections as of yet. I have read NHTSA is investigating nearly identical complaints with 2022-23 models and wanted to add my concerns about the '24 model year.

The steering wheel occasionally gets sticky, especially driving straight for a while. It can be overcome with a little extra force but the steering does not feel smooth because of it. I have not contacted the dealer yet. There are no warning lights or anything. I've got a little over 12k miles on the new car.

- Buffalo, NY, USA

While driving, in particular on the highway, the steering wheel becomes suddenly stuck in its position. I am able to overcome the stickiness with a mild amount of effort. I currently have 5700 miles on my vehicle and it appears to be getting more noticeable over time. I have a call into the Honda dealer to have this issue addressed. I am waiting for them to call me back. I have received no warning from my vehicle that there is a problem with the steering.

- Little River, SC, USA

Steering wheel -??sticks-?? -there is resistance in the steering and then it may release suddenly which may cause a jerking of the wheel to over correct. The car was purchased new and did not experience this problem initially, but it seems to have developed over time. The -??sticking-?? of the steering is really noticeable at higher speeds such as highway driving. This is a safety concern as it makes it more difficult to steer and potentially cause an accident. There are no warning lights on or any other indication of a problem on the dash. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer or manufacturer yet, but I plan on making an appointment soon. It has not been inspected by the police or an insurance rep. Yes, the car/steering is available upon request.
