We bought this 2024 CRV EXL just a few months ago and have less than 5000 miles. The steering catches and sticks at times. We have owned 5 new CRVS over the many years and this is NOT normal. Honda dealers want to say it-??s -??normal-??. I am on a private Facebook 2023-2024 CRV site, and many have reported this issue. Some say it-??s a steering rack. I don-??t know but asking for your help as my wife doesn-??t feel safe and we know it-??s a manufactured issue.

My CR-V Lane Keep Assist will pull my vehicle one way or the other jarringly violently, and will overcorrect itself the rest of the time. The result being that I have nearly totally stopped using the feature. Recently, though, I have noticed a sticking point just off of dead center when steering in either direction- at any speed. The worst part of this issue is that it causes turning to be unsmooth because the wheel doesn't turn smoothly. At any speed, I can notice the weighting of the steering wheel when I hit the (replicatible) sticking point- and then it is as if the vehicle "skips a few steering teeth" because it cause the wheel to turn a little more quickly as if to catch up to where I had intended to point the tires. This issue has persisted to the point that I googled to see if other owners were having this issue, and that's when I discovered that NHTSA had added the 2023 CR-V to an existing complaint involving Honda Civics with the same steering components. I wish to lodge my complaint in the hopes of making Honda and the NHTSA aware that this issue is also affecting 2024 CR-Vs. I am extra frustrated because I feel like my front suspension/steering components are clunking where that was not an issue over the early life of the vehicle. For reference, I have put 13000 miles on the vehicle since purchasing 07/27/2023.

I noticed that at approximately 45mph that my steering wheel started stick and then unstick resulting in the steering wheel jerking. Some occurrences are worse than others and it seems to be more noticeable while driving at highway speeds (45mph - 65mph). I researched this and found multiple forums with 2022 - 2024 Honda owners experiencing the same problem. I also noticed an open NHTSA investigation (Investigation: EA23003).

- Fort Lee, NJ, USA

On a drive back and forth to Florida from New Jersey the steering seemed to -??stick-?? every so often during highway driving. Almost like the power steering was turned off. With a little additional effort I was able to continue steering but definitely something wasn-??t right. I-??m very familiar with lane departure and Lane assist features on this vehicle and both of those were not turned on when this was occurring.

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.

- Coraopolis, PA, USA

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.

- Hebron, KY, USA

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.

- Millersville, MD, USA

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.

Steering wheel gets -??sticky-?? and makes it hard to steer. Almost over corrected because it was stuck on the highway. Took to the dealership and it needs a new steering rack, which is on back order.

- Rutherfordton , NC, USA

When driving on the highway it is most noticable, It feels like the power steering quits working.It makes it hard to steer. When it does steer easily it is easy to over correct making an accident more likely.Hopefully my Honda dealer will stand behind it. So far over the phone they pretend like it doesn't exist.

Driving down the highway my power steering becomes difficult to turn. It will loosen up but could be dangerous if I need to make a quick turn.I am on my 5th CRV. This is so disappointing. My dealership pretended to not know about it.

- Coraopolis, PA, USA

Driving on the highway it feels like I lose power steering. The steering wheel is hard to turn. It loosens up eventually. I have asked at the dealership about it. They pretend like they don't know about it. It could cause an accident if i have to make a sudden turn.
