Honda has all these controls on their steering wheel that can accidentally be turned on, even while driving, and have any of those adaptive functions suddenly start working. For example, twice already I was driving and somehow the "Lane Keeping Assistance" turned on. My steering wheel was shaking and I couldnt control it, get it to stop. It frightened me & the first time I pulled over on the side of the road thinking my cars tie-rods have broken. It did it again last night and I was really frightened. My husband reached over & turned it off. He said I must have turned it on while holding the steering wheel. I had another function "Lane Depature warning" turn on when I was trying to switch lanes. I was fighting with the steering wheel. The paddles on the wheel are also a hazard. I reached for the turn signal & hit a paddle. I dont know what the hell these do & I was freaking out thinking what did I just turn on now that we make me lose control of the car. These functions should not be something that can be turned on once the car is started. I have never had any issues with cruise control on any car I own. I really do not like this car. I'm scared. I will need to drive my husbands mercedes because I fear the Honda CRV. I cant return the car. How many people have been in accidents or killed because they functions can turn themselves on without the driver knowing they did. This is not a nuisance, this is a accident waiting to happen. Please, something needs to be done. I spent $40K on a disaster. Thank you

The steering is very hard and needs lot of force to rotate.

At about 6,000 miles I noticed that at higher speed over 40 mph, the steering felt as if it were 'sticky'. Steering felt like it would click and it is hard to keep wheel straight. It is progressively getting worse and makes it so I cannot drive straight without overcorrecting on either side constantly.

- Exeter, NH, USA

At about 4,500 miles I noticed at higher speed over 50 miles per hour a sticky steering wheel. Steering felt like it would click and hard to keep wheel straight. Constant back and forth to keep straight. Took the vehicle into AutoNation Honda Roseville on 1/5/24 with a mileage of 4,841. They determined after driving it that the EPS Gearbox needed to be replaced. This part is back ordered, and I still as of today 4/2/24 do not have the part replaced.

During driving, the steering wheel seems to catch, or stick--it is not smooth. This seems to be primarily a highway speed occurrence. When this happens it also seems like you have to constantly make small adjustments to steering. This mostly seems to happen after we have been on the road for a while. It first happened 3 weeks ago on a longer drive. Then it happened again last week, again on a longer drive. Also on a shorter drive a couple of weeks ago, but the speeds were higher than in-town, around 50 mph. I took it to the dealer yesterday. I noticed the catching on the drive down, but it was not continuous, as it was the other times. The car was taken out on the highway and driven by a mechanic, who stated he did not experience the problem. Our car now has around 9000 miles on it.

While driving on 3.5 hour trip through the mountains found that the steering wheel was stiff and the car difficult to control, especially on steep slopes with curves. Had to slow way down and grip the steering wheel with significant force. Felt like driving an old manual steering pick-up truck. The stiff steering has made driving in narrow lanes difficult as it feels like I am always having to over-correct the wandering.

Steering wheel on 2024 CRV hybrid was getting sticky and I noticed it while I was driving on the highway took it to dealer and dealer did say that the truck is unsafe to be driven steering rack needs to be replaced. There is no official recall, but part can take months to come in.

I have had my 2024 CRV EX-L in a couple different dealerships to complain about the steering becoming very sticky after you drive for awhile. When this issue starts up, it makes it very difficult to make minor adjustments to stay in your own lane!! Some dealers say they haven't heard any other complaints, but I find that not to be true when it's all over social media and there are articles all over the internet as well about this same issue. I also have an Attorney looking into this as well at this point. This issue is very annoying and can become a safety concern if you are not always aware and paying attention when it starts to happen. This is definitely not the Honda quality that I have been used to in the past. I would like this addressed ASAP, this CRV only has 6,200 miles on it. Thank you.

At speeds above 40mph, the steering feels "sticky" or "notchy" when making small corrections to stay in the center of the lane. My local dealer confirmed the problem and ordered replacement parts. That was two months ago.

- West Columbia, SC, USA

While driving on the highway, my daughter experienced an issue that caused her to lose the ability to steer the vehicle. The vehicle went off of the road and into a guardrail causing damage to the left side of the car. Prior to losing the ability to steer, she thought she felt some strange shaking. Thankfully, she was not hurt and did not collide with any other vehicles. The situation could have ended much worse than it did. The vehicle is currently at the dealership being inspected. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the incident. The issue seems very similar to other issues that we have read about affecting 2024 CRVs and other Honda models that cause difficulty steering. Much like the issues we read about, this was a new vehicle with low mileage and during winter months.

- Loveland, OH, USA

The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was inoperable. The contact stated that the steering wheel had seized stuck and failed to function as intended. Additionally, the contact stated that it was very difficult to control the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed steering assembly and that the steering rack assembly needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the steering rack assembly was on backorder until April 2024. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 3,735.

- Sutton, MA, USA

The steering is real jerky and hard to drive. The dealer said on 11/13 that it was unsafe to drive. Part is on back order. Now they say it might be April.

- Wylie, TX, USA

The steering wheel sticks and becomes stiff intermittently at various speeds. It seems to happen significantly less in cold temperatures (under 35?f). When performing a turn or slight correction, more bodily force is required to make the move which has resulted in exaggerated moves/corrections. This issue was presented to the dealership and their technician allegedly drove my vehicle and another of the same year/model and was unable to recreate the issue.

- Saint Louis, MO, USA

Sticky steering developed after 3500 miles. When making minor adjustments, extra resistance was felt causing over adjustment sometimes.

- Lake Mary, FL, USA

We have a 2024 Honda CR-V Sport L. My wife drives the car mainly on the highway. She mentioned she noticed the steering "sticks" when trying to change lanes or make small corrections. Almost like lane assist is on but worse. I drove the car and confirmed I experienced the same issue. There are no warning lights telling me there is something wrong with the steering. It has caused my wife to have a couple of close calls. I am taking to the dealer today to have it looked at.

When driving in a straight line, the car pulls to the left, requiring me to correct the drift by steering the car to the right. There is a lot of effort put into correcting the gradual and progressive drifting of the car, especially during highway driving. Correcting the steering is a constant during the drive. The steering itself also feels "stiff." Much effort is needed to correct the steering, making it very difficult to traverse the roads, especially when quick and accurate response is needed to avoid debris on the road, potholes, other cars, and even simple tasks like lane change. This started happening even before the vehicle hit 1,000 miles on the odometer. Additionally, there were two occasions in which the power steering light came on the dash when remote starting the vehicle, but would turn off when cycling the car. The light came on once prior to the sticky steering issue and once more after having experienced the start of the sticky and stiff steering. I have not remote started the car since. The dealer has noted this, but could not find a reason why this is happening as a diagnostic check did not reveal any errors. Adding to the steering issue, there is a lot of effort needed to make right turns and left turns, even at low speeds. All of these issues could not be replicated by the dealer. However, the dealer did not take the vehicle on a prolonged drive nor on the highway at highway speed. The dealer has noted that if the problem persists, to take it back. It is still persisting. The car has 2,000 miles on it currently, and I have only had possession of this vehicle for one month.

Steering has slight -??sticky-?? feeling requiring extra pressure to turn steering wheel which is discomforting as it feels you are fighting it. This could result in an over correction to steering and moving out of lane into another vehicle or guard rail. This usually occurs at highway speed. The dealer has indicated that it is a known issue and will replace steering components when available. No warnings, messages or other symptoms prior to issues.

- Delmar, NY, USA

Steering wheel sticks when trying to turn. Major safety concern.

- Holland, OH, USA

Steering seems to stick, causing overcorrection and almost causing loss of control. The vehicle is available for inspection. I came very close to losing control at highway speeds. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no warnings and the problem seems to be getting more severe.

- Rockport, TX, USA

I started experiencing "sticky" steering (steering binding) mostly at highway speeds after the car has completely warmed up. The vehicle has EPS (Electronic Power Steering). The vehicle has less than 3,000 miles on it. The problem started less than 1000 miles ago. This condition makes the steering feel "unsure" at times. It almost feels like an old car with manual steering, when the steering box is failing. I will be taking it to the dealer for evaluation. No warning lights present. The problem occurs even when ALL driver assistance, lane departure systems, etc., are disabled.
