The gear in gearbox is sticking causing sticky/jerky steering. There are recalls on other vehicles but not this one specifically even though it's having same issue.

- Hammond, LA, USA

Since April of 2024, my steering has been sticking when making the slightest of turns. It has progressively gotten worse. I initially thought that I needed power steering fluid but that did not correct the issue. This sticky causes my vehicle to veer to the left and right abruptly into other lanes. I am fighting to keep the vehicle straight. I can hear the sticking noise constantly due to the lack of lubrication in the steering gearbox. I am fearful that I may cause an accident and injure myself or others when driving and I would like assistance in having the dealership correct this issue. This issue also causes the sensors for my ABS, Adaptive Cruise control, lane departure etc to malfunction and alarm.

Jerking/sticky steering issue. I have heard many other drivers discuss the same with 2016-2023 Civics. Essentially anytime when I am driving, my car may jerk any direction and I have to re-adjust. This makes driving EXTREMELY dangerous. I have noticed similarly to other drivers that whenever my steering jerks in one direction when I turn it back, it makes a knocking noise (like knocking on wood). Very concerned about this issue as I don-??t have any money to fix it.

- Ellabell, GA, USA

The steering rack has failed due to a manufacturing defect. This is also an issue with the newer civics as Honda has admitted. This problem was confirmed by an independent service center. It can be dangerous at higher speeds, the steering wheel is difficult to turn and I have to jerk it to regain control of the vehicle. Going around bends is also difficult to maintain control since it is very difficult to make precise movements of the steering. No warning lamps or messages at the time of failure.

- Houston, TX, USA

Steering wheel is -?? sticky -?? at highway speeds and causes over correction. Honda is aware of the issue with other year models ( and has issued recalls ). Dealer has diagnosed and quoted $6,000 to repair. This is ridiculous, to rob customers on the repair of an obvious issue. Recall is needed for all models with this same steering system. Serious safety issue !

- Lufkin, TX, USA

Steering wheel sticks while driving. there is a recall for this on later model cars but not on my year. Dealership wants almost $5,000 to fix this. it is absolutely a danger to drive.

- Sparta, NJ, USA

Steering wheel is sticky when driving at highway speeds, requiring extra force to turn the wheel to the left, resulting in abrupt left turn motions causing inadvertent deviations into the lane to my left. This has been happening consistently for the last 4 months. There are no warning messages.

- Gainesville, FL, USA

The steering wheel will "stick" when in the left hand position at speeds of 50mph or greater, requiring greater force to center. This has not been reproduced by the dealer.

- Temple, TX, USA

I can-??t recall the exact mileage or the date, but I started having this issues but I-??d say around 40-45K miles I started having what I-??ve heard been called -??sticky steering-?? when driving down the road the steering wheel almost gets a stuck feeling and I have to try and correct it back center, it mostly will try to pull towards the left side and I have to pull it back to the center. It does seem like it is stuck sometimes but I am able to correct it. It does this when I am driving at higher speeds probably anything above 45 mph. It can be scary driving long distances because I-??m always having to use both hands on the wheel to try and control the wheel. I-??ve also heard that it makes a -??popping-?? sound when Turing the wheel all the way to one side mostly when backing up. I have reached out to a dealership before and they said they had no idea what I was talking about. I did not feel comfortable taking it to the dealership to spend all this money on something they did not know about. I-??ve seen where there actually is a recall for this exact issue I-??m having but it-??s only for 22-23 models. I-??m asking that this becomes one for the 19 or any other civic because this seems to be a serious issue. I fear that one day it will get bad enough to where I am not able to control my wheel and get into a crash. It has gotten worse as the miles go on.

Steering is sticky and jerky when driving, causing driver to overcorrect left or right when making slight adjustments to center. Especially noticeable with highway driving. First noticed in 2024 and problem continues. Dealer said Honda is aware but no official recall issued as of yet.

- Apopka, FL, USA

Unknown. Steering seems to stick when making small adjustments while driving straight causing the car to slightly jerk and oversteer the wanted adjustment. This causes me to constantly have to steering and adjust the steering while driving in a straight line. This seems to be a known issue with the steering rack not lubricating properly based on internet forums.

- Jacksonville, FL, USA

This vehicle is impacted by the -??sticky steering-?? issues that led to the recall of 2022-25 Model Year Honda Civics. This gearbox issue is NOT restricted to just those model years.

- Simsponville, SC, USA

Steering sticks in certain position to the left and has to be forcefully reentered (there's also a clunking noise that the steering makes when this problem occurs). Problem began about a year ago and I have taken vehicle in to be repaired multiple times. I believed it was a tire issue at first, however, after a few weeks ago I was assured that the tires was not the problem. This feature is incredibly dangerous as when wheel is forcefully recentered sometimes you haev to overadjust and you might almost hit someone near you. Extremely dangerous and I hope you guys take this issue seriously. I have visited many other threads and I see that in the state of florida alone theres about 10 other people who have the SAME EXACT issue.
