While driving the steering gets stiff and when you turn steering wheel it darts unexpectedly to the right or left. This car is a 2016 with only 31000 miles on it. I hope it doesn't get any worse because it's not safe. N

I was driving my wife to her doctors appointment in melbourne Florida. After 20 minutes at highway speeds 55-65 mph I noticed the steering wheel seamed to be sticking in the neutral position.if I had to correct left or right I would have to use force and it would snap and jump about an inch causing me to weave into the next lane. I pull off at the next intersection to check my tires and could not find a problem. I noticed that after I slowed down to less than 40 mph the steering worked fine, I got back on the interstate got up to speed and it started sticking again.got off the interstate and took back roads the rest of the way there and home. Took it out the next day and it would not do it but now afraid to take long trips for fear of having an accident. Checked the internet and found hundreds of complaints about this and no recall.why doe's someone have to die to get things fixed.

My vehicle, Honda Civic 2016, was parked in the parking lot. In the morning when I started the vehicle, it gave me errors in all systems: Brake system error, power steering error, tire pressure error, etc. I could shift the gear, but steering wheel would not turn. I towed a car to a Honda dealership and they told me an electric power steering pump needs to be replaced. The car is 3.5 years old, 36000 miles, the warranty ended only 6 month ago. Honda provided an estimate of $1500 to fix the problem. In a few days when I was suppose to pick up the vehicle, Honda called me saying that they weren't able to fix the problem and now they need to replace a power steering rack and power steering motor and it would cost $3000. The car is not drivable, it's a major safety concern and shouldn't happen after only 36000 miles.

Steering wheel sticks while attempting to drive straight causing the car to either drive to the right or left. This happens while driving for approximately 30 minutes or so and especially has an effect on the vehicle at higher speeds. Multiple forums and over 60+ complaints on this and no recall yet?

Steering at 40 plus mph gets stiff making it difficult to stay in lane

- Lutz, FL, USA

I have a 2016 Honda Civic. After 20 minutes driving on the highway, the steering wheel stiffens up a lot and the car starts drifting left or right. Therefore, I have to use excessive force to move the steering wheel in the opposite direction it is drifting in. This occurs every couple minutes. I have to essentially drive in a zig zag formation to stay in the same lane. After getting off the highway and onto local roads, the problem persists on local roads but is less frequent than on the highway. Having this much difficultly steering the car is a huge safety concern and can lead to car accidents. At the Honda dealership, they determined that the steering rack had to be replaced. Since the warranty period for the car has already passed, they quoted me over $3,000. There is an existing recall by Honda on the 2017 and 2018 Civics for the electronic power steering system (eps). But, the eps in the 2016 model gets overlooked. 2016 Civic drivers should not have to shell out so much money to get a car with a properly function eps.

Anything over 30 mph, I can't keep the car driving in a straight line, it constantly drifts left and right. The power steering seems to "stick" and requires constant back and forth adjustment to control the car. Newnan ga Honda dealership said the entire power steering rack will have to be replaces for $3300. There are many 2016 Civics with this problem. I'm far from being the only person this has affected.

I purchased a used 2016 Honda Civic touring and didn't notice this problem right away because I didn't drive it long enough on the highway. After driving the car on the highway for at least 30 minutes suddenly the car begins to drift ever so slightly one way or another. When I go to correct, the steering wheel resists. It doesn't freeze but it sort of "sticks" until I apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts completely normal. Moments later however, it drifts the opposite direction, and I am forced to repeat the same process all over again. End result is I begin drifting slightly back and forth down the highway repeatedly, all the while fighting with a steering wheel that doesn't seem to want to let go. I found many complaints about this on the forums and some have been told it's eps rack. Honda needs to recall and replace this. Someone even made a video on this issue youtube.com/watch?V=W5X_cavhxmm

When making small adjustments keeping a straight trajectory above 55 mph there is a "sticky point" in the steering. When lightly moving the wheel to the left or the right you encounter a point of resistance, steering through the resistance forces an over compensation making a zigzag style of highway driving. Important the steering wheel will not self center even if you take your hands off the wheel, you literally have to steer back through the point of resistance to re-center the wheel. The Honda part number being replaced on this vehicle and other vehicle with the same problem is 53650-tba-A01

Steering the car is difficult. When the car drifts or you turn the car in either direction the steering wheel sticks. This causes you to over correct to break free the sticking sensation or causes you to drift excessively to either the left or right. Controlling the car takes more force than it should require and I still can't ensure I can drive it safely. Car is a 2016 and I've read several others with the same car have experienced the same thing. Dealer attempted to fix by changing out the electric power steering motor ($1550) but it did not fix the problem.

Sticky steering wheel. Subtle movements cause resistance and force me to jerk the steering wheel in a specific direction. This only happens after you've been driving on the highway for 30-40 minutes. Car was bought new in 2016.

When driving for 20 minutes or more on the highway the steering begins to stick while trying drive straight.

- Sunnyvale, CA, USA

The steering is very jerky and sometimes stick. It sticks and you have to snatch it in order for it to turn. This is very dangerous at high speeds on the highway. The steering wheel gets stuck while driving over 55.

- Lincolnton, GA, USA

Every single dashboard warning light and system control lights come on. Get message that system is initializing. Says problem with tire pressure system, stability, brake system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, hill start assist problem, etc. Despite numerous attempts, these lights will not go off. Steering is loose and feels out of control.

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.

- Bellevue, WA, USA

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.

- Virginia Beach, VA, USA

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

- Houston, TX, USA

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.

- Riverside, CA, USA

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.

- Austin, TX, USA

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.
