After driving my 2016 Civic (with less than 18K miles) on the highway for more than ~15 minutes, the steering became difficult to turn away from center. This sticky steering requires additional effort to turn the wheel from straight. This was very noticeable even when trying to keep the car in my lane. And after the steering becomes sticky, it persists even at lower speeds off the highway. My local Honda dealer diagnosed (and replaced) a failed electrical power-steering rack. I saw many other people describing this same problem in various online car and Civic forums.

When driving on the interstate for about at least 15 minutes, the steering wheel sort of sticks and takes extra pressure to turn. This is especially noticeable when you're simply trying to correct minor lane drifting to stay straight and it takes extra effort to do so. It could definitely become a safety hazard should you fail to move the wheel in enough time.

Steering issue- once warmed up and at higher speeds (noticed on highway) car pull left and right. Must use force to correct merging of the car. Response time is low when you try to correct the car back into your lane. Almost feels like the wheel is sticking

When im driving on the freeway around 60 to 75 mph, the steering wheel sticks. I need to jerk it back to position. It happens after driving for more than 30 mins. Already brought it back to the dealer 3 times in in the past 2 years but they cant seem to "replicate" the problem. I have noticed that it is getting worse. Car has 34000 miles on it.

I bought the car new and at about 35500 miles the steering while driving at any speed, straight always or turns it keeps feeling like it is sticking. I have been to the dealership who had me pay for an alignment even though it was not pulling. It did not work after repeated attempts. They have no other solutions. It is dangerous and I am still paying on my car so I need it.

2016 Honda Civic LX, approximately 20,000 miles has a "sticky" or "notchy" feel to the steering during highway driving. The vehicle drifts slowly to one side of the lane, then when I try to correct back to the middle of the lane, the steering feels sticky and with slightly more effort to nudge it to the middle, it overcorrects slightly and is then drifting to the other side of the lane. This continues back and forth for the duration of the trip. Note that this is subtle and it takes 5-10 seconds for each drift side to side. This has only happened on long highway trips after the car has been running for at least 30 or 45 minutes. I am concerned that this electronic steering problem will cause something will happen where I do not have any control of the steering. I noticed also a possible related problem when at parking speed, if I inch the car while turning and pressing the brake lightly I can feel the steering "twitch" a little.

Steering is notchy and when I drive the car the steering is jittery, sticky and hard to move. It's very noticeable when driving in a straight line from speeds between 20-70 miles per hour. Also when the car is in park, when I try to slowly turn the steering wheel it will shake and stuffer. It's verybhard to move the steering rack. This is very unsafe and might cause a collision.

Steering wheel is notchy, when I drive the steering wheel sticks and there doesn't want to turn making the car weave. Also when it's in park and you try to turn the steering wheel slowly it shakes and jitters. Car feels very unsafe while driving

Steering issue- once warmed up and at higher speeds (noticed on highway) car pull left and right. Must use force to correct merging of the car. Response time is low when you try to correct the car back into your lane. Almost feels like the wheel is sticking. Car only has 34K miles- no reported accidents. No damage to steering that I can see. Many sites have similar complaints that were found by a search

Steering becomes very resistant to input at highway speed (60mph +) requiring considerable force to overcome often resulting in over correction. Has been happening intermitantly since passing the 50000 mile marker.

I have a 2016 Honda Civic and about 4 months ago, while driving I noticed mostly on the interstate, that my steering wheel would get "sticky". I had taken my car in for an oil change and I addressed my concern to the mechanic. When I came back he told me him and all of his technicians drove the car and no one had a clue as to what I was talking about. Over time it has gotten worse. It happens after driving at interstate speed for about 20 minutes. Only when the steering wheel is positioned 100% straight. When you pull to one side, and it never matters left or right because it's both sides, it's like its stuck or pulling against you, like a resistance. Then it suddenly let's go and it jerks. And then it's back the other way. So you're fighting the steering wheel the whole time driving while you're jerking back and forth side to side all over the lane. And it doesn't have to be just interstate. Due to being a single mom and not having the "time off work" as well as no one believing me, here I am about 4 months later and it's so much worse. It's also summer now which I notice it's also at its worst when its blazing temperatures. It's gotten so bad that I can actually hear a noise now when it does it. I've looked this up because I felt like people thought I was crazy and with the amount of people reporting this safety issue, I can't figure how this hasn't been a recall. I understand things on vehicles need to be replaced after a while. They need maintenance and they cost money. But for this widespread issue on the same car and nothing is being done?! I bought a Honda for the name, for the quality, and for the customer service, but at this point, that it's being looked over, I'm on the verge of trading it in for something other than a Honda.

Sticking stering wheel. My steering "sticks" after I've been driving for about 20-30 mins at around 40/45+ mph when temperature is above 70F. Take your hand off the wheel on a slight curve and it stays with the curve. Trying to do a slight correction when it's like this and it literally sticking in place for a sec then allows the wheel to turn more freely.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. While driving 45 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and seized. The contact called rick case Honda (located at 15700 rick case Honda way, davie, fl 33331, (954) 388-1035) and notified them of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 46,000.

So I just bought a 2016 Honda Civic LX 2.0 used today with 26,000 miles. The dealership was a little over an hour away and about 30 minutes into my drive home I noticed the steering felt like it was sticking on the highway at around 65mph. It felt notchy and sticky like I had to use a little force to start being able to steer again. Which causes you to overcorrect a bit. This is a huge safety concern on the highway. I looked it up and there's like thousands of people talking about the exact same problem.. the solution seems to be a new steering rack assembly...

Steering wheel sticks (resistance to turning) when car is warmed up. Most notable at highway speeds.

- Aventura, FL, USA

When driving the steering wheel starts to get a sticking feeling when trying to make small movements. This causes you to overcorrect your steering and is a serious safety issue because you can potentially run into another person or object. You feel a clicking in the steering wheel and it is most notable at higher speeds. The problem seems to worsen the more you drive. My car only have 32000 miles on it.

When temperature spikes hit the area I live in the steering seems to stick slightly when driving.

I have a 2016 Honda Civic ex, I was on the road for about 30 minutes in motion driving straight when the steering became hard like it was sticking. I got on the interstate and accelerated the faster I got the worse it got.it's pulls me to the left and then to the right. I then lowered my speed to 50 but it still continued to do this and has now gotten worse it never stops and is very hard to keep in one lane.know therhas been recalls on the 2017 Honda Civics for the exact same reason. This is a huge safety hazard. I have found that it will eventually lock up and has already caused accidents. I don't want to cause anyone any injuries or god forbid someone lose their life. It's getting alot worse. Will notify Honda. Immediately!

- Guyton, GA, USA

The steering wheel sticks when driving on the highway. It feels like the steering wheel is catching when you are trying to keep the car in the lane. When it releases, you have to correct the steering quickly in order to stay in the lane. This a constant problem. There are no times when this does not happen. This is a huge safety risk especially when on a 2 lane highway and there is an oncoming car in the other lane.

Was driving the car to an interview & I was probably a block from home. I was at a stop & when I began to accelerate & turn left the steering wheel locked mid drive & caused me to crash into a curb.
