Starting from low speeds, you have constantly correct the steering. As you are driving, the steering automatically motions to the right. This causes u to correct the steering constantly, even at low speeds. Speeds of 45, it becomes dangerous.

The electronic power steering system in the Honda Civic is failing. Steering wheel frequently -??sticks-?? causing the driver to oversteer, in order to -??unstick-?? the power steering mechanism. Power steering is notchy and sticky feeling, increasing in persistence. The vehicle feels unstable, thus unsafe for continued driving.

When traveling on the highway, the cruise control system will cut out on random intervals, and not be available to turn back on unless you stop the vehicle, turn it off, and then turn it back on again. This poses an electrical system risk, and may encourage drivers to pull over on the side of the highway to restart their vehicle to regain access to cruise control. There are already many Reddit and online forums about this issue I have linked below. There is also a service bulletin issued out for this issue, so Honda is aware that vehicles are affected, but this doesn-??t actually fix the issue, since my car has already been in for service regarding this issue.

This vehicle is two years old, has 70,000 miles on it now. It-??s worth noting that this issue started when it had 15,000 mile on it several years ago. I took it to the dealer, but they told me they wouldn-??t do anything about it since the light no longer indicated an issue. Randomly, the vehicle will suddenly say -??collision mitigation system problem, see dealer-?? and -??adaptive cruise control problem see dealer-??. These two warnings always show up together, and always turn off lane keep assist and all cruise control options until the warning disappears. The warnings will pop up 5-6 times a year and sometimes last several days, sometimes only seconds. Dealer initially told me it may be due to water after it rains but now it-??s happening even during dry weeks when we haven-??t had rain in ages.

The steering sticked to complete super heavy to try to pull and I tried to brake and lost control and crashed into a tree damaging my right side fender and front tire. This car is unsafe putting my life on the line. EX-L civic is not safe. The issue doesn't go away it does it every time I go 30-45 and steering just stop working as in it stuck and heavy so I took it in after the incident and dealership told me everything looks fine they joy ride my car and didn't catch it so I told them to let me drive them and they caught it stating its can be steering rack which they want me to pay out of pocket for I told them warranty should cover it they stated not a defect just failure from my driving which is not right as the car only had 500 miles. I always hear noise of a tapping between the wheel and something else.

The steering wheel locking up during driving randomly without warning this cause me to crash into the sidewalk during my right turn damaging my right side lower bumper and front wheel cracked so I already replaced the wheel with a new refinished one. This issue is a non stop problem I would really appreciate if HONDA reconsider all trim not just Sport and Touring as my car is an EX-L model which I paid for Touring price so I want to be help too. I already took it to the dealership and they didn't fix it and just joy ride my car caught it on dash cam even the sound of the wheel locking up too. GOUDY HONDA ALHAMBRA inspected my car. This was an on going issue since I test drove the car and I call it out and the salemen told me its normal which I knew it isn't, but I waited 3 month for this pre-order car so I'm not going to not take it. Please help me fix this issue as its should be under warranty, but dealership state they won't do anything unless the issue is serious which I don't feel safe driving my new honda.

I have been having issues where the 2022 Honda Civic Sport car will die intermittently at lights. The technician who looked at my car said there was no problem and that I was good to go. The issue has been when stopping at a light, the car engine shuts off and a battery signal light shows up. The other electronics in the car appear to work. Right before the car dies, during breaking it feels like ABS is turning on. The car has to be put into park, turned off, and restarted to get going again. This happens approximately weekly, and it is particularly bad when I am in the middle of an intersection. Component suspected of failing is the engine on off auto at stop. This is a safety issue because car dies in the middle of intersections. The dealer was unable to reproduce; however, it happens on an approximately weekly basis. I took it to Honda and they said they could not reproduce it, the car was -??good to go-??. Only indication is the battery light indicating

The steering is sticky meaning it feels like the power steering is not working and it makes the steering more difficult and harder to control. When the speed increases on the highway the issue is even more noticeable. No warnings pop up and no other issues/symptoms happen prior to. Another issue we are experiencing is electrical. During frigid temperatures when starting the car every car warning pops up and shows no safety and vehicle systems are working, this issue happened every time the temperature was lower than 15 degrees and now I notice a delay in my LED screen popping up when starting my car so the screen stays blank for the first few minutes of driving my car. Not sure if these 2 issues are related but it is definitely worth mentioning because I'm afraid an electrical issue or steering issue will be the cause of an accident.

Hello, I am a victim of cyber stalking. My vehicle was broken into and someone downloaded some type of application within the audio system. I am hoping you can assist by contacting Honda on my behalf. I have tried going to a local dealership and ask for assistance with a software update but they said i had to download an app on my mobile phone. I cannot download the app because the person is accessing my phone. I have gone to the authorities several times in the past. I am asking that please contact Honda Motor Corp. And if they can contact the dealership in Weymouth MA and provide instructions for how they can provide a software update to my vehicle. The person is tracking my every driven mode. I tried doing a factory reset but that does not work because there seems to be an app or something imbedded. I was just going to remove the external radio feature which is mounted but this, external piece, i believe assist with some safety features. This has been going on for over a year.

I was driving down the freeway in January and my front driver side tire sidewalls separated from the rest of the tire and flew off of the rim causing me to drive on the rim. Zero warning lights or tire pressure lights appeared on my dash until after I installed my spare tire. Very scary this occurred on a freeway at full speed and no indicator light came on. I heard a loud noise when my tire flew off which then required me to immediately stop.

Since I've owned the car, when driving above 40 mph(when LKAS may engage), with LKAS off, the steering becomes statically neutral...i.e in a turn the steering wheel will remain in the turned position when pressure on the wheel is reduced. In this case the steering wheel( as well as the front wheels themselves) should straighten out as you continue to move. This is dangerous. Also, at highway speeds, in order to maintain the center of your lane small inputs to the steering wheel are normally required. In this vehicle, there is resistance to these small inputs. When the force of your input finally overcomes the resistance in the steering wheel the wheel turns more dramatically than intended(overcorrection). This is also dangerous. This also occurs with LKAS off. It's almost like LKAS engages the steering column preemptively above 40 mph but in a dangerous manner.

I traded in my 2022 civic in November because the car would randomly shut down because of the faulty denso fuel pump. I told Norm Reeves Cerritos that once I put fuel cleaner the car will shut down 3-5 times the same day and will reoccur again in eight months. Replicated same problem with the sports model after car was in shop 3 months because of an accident and while doing Uber this week with witnesses. Filed numerous complaints with BBB and Honda Corporate all were ignored and they blamed me for putting a third party device in the cigarette lighter.

Vehicle purchased new from Honda dealership in Yuma AZ in June of 2021. Within 2nd day of ownership, the cruise control abruptly shut off causing a safety risk of driver's behind me coming close to rear end collision. The cruise control has abruptly and without warning has randomly shut off over 40 times since then. Vehicle has been taken in for repair 4 times with no resolve. Honda tried adjusting brake switch on first repair attempt, did not fix the issue. Second and third attempts the dealership replaced the SRS module and the brake switch. Drove vehicle for 800 miles, then the issue arose again, causing the car to immediately slow, causing others behind me to have to brake quickly putting me at risk of rear end collision. Opened a case with American Honda, case number12509879. American Honda and the dealership states "they can not fix the issue until they actually see it for themselves acting up", which it does not act up when they drive it. I have many, many videos of the cruise control randomly shutting off and me being unable to reengage the cruise control. The only solution so far is to pull off the roadway, shut the car off, restart it, cruise will activate then.
