My steering wheel pops and feels like it locks at 45 mph and
- Mesa, AZ, USA
Sticky steering wheel at above 50mph when the steering wheel is turn to left. Have to put extra effort and have to jerk it to return the steering wheel to center. There was an event of over correction of the wheel. Heard clunk sound when turn to left only. I brought the car to capitol Honda at san jose ca. For recall and this is their diagnosis: "test drove vehicle and verified steering wheel will get hard to turn but was not able to duplicate noise when turning left. Upon further inspection found steering rack has internal problem. Recommend replacing steering rack and recheck for noise after replacement". service advisor quoted me $2795.12. Aren't day suppose to replace for free per recall? called Honda cars and was approved for goodwill assistance. Capitol Honda service manager re-quoted me for $1134.97. I called back Honda cars to re-open the case. Im waiting for Honda cars for the result of their further investigation.

After about 20 minutes of driving the steering wheel starts sticking. You have to put more effort into turning the steering wheel and once it comes unstuck, you slightly over correct and then have to turn back the other way which results in the same thing all over again because it keeps getting stuck. I put around 65,000 miles on the car and never had any problems until I carried the car in for the steering rack recall. They said my car was fine and it has been sticking ever since they checked it. I called them back and they said they didn't touch or adjust anything.

Vehicle steering gets sticky and requires more effort to steer

When driving the steering wheel sticks and the car drifts whichever direction I-??ve last turned the steering. I constantly have to fight the steering wheel to keep the car going straight.

Steering is sticking, so I am having to adjust my wheel, while driving straight. When I go around a curve or make a turn it's worse. I took my car to the dealership when I learned about the recall and they didn't tell me anything. I took it back to them 2/12/24 and the "service manager" said that my WA and WB stickers weren't the same numbers as the recall. EVEN though my vin number says my car has a recall. Service manager said he would send a form to Goodwill on getting it approved, Received a text from the service manager on 2/13/24 and he says now that his district sales rep hasn't given him the approval for the Goodwill.. Its NOT THEIR LIVES at DANGER and they DO NOT CARE.......

I have about 22000 miles on my 2022 Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. I am noticing an increased frequency in "sticky steering". At approximately 40mph and higher, it feels as if I need to apply extra effort to get the steering wheel to move, and then it releases. This is not just irritating - it causes major overcorrections on the highway and has led to me crossing the lane lines. I have researched this, and I found that many other Civic drivers experience this issue.

While driving at highway speeds, steering wheel seems to stick when making small adjustments. This is very tiring and concerning, not being able to fully trust that it won-??t freeze up completely. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else. No warning lights, etc., to indicate issues.

So I had my steering rack changed on 3/23/23 because the steering wheel was having difficulty turning like it was sticking or notching feeling above 35 mph. The transition was from one lane to the other was not smooth. Now here I am less than one year later and the steering wheel is doing the exact same thing I took it in on 1/06/2024 to Gwinnett place Honda and they said they couldn-??t duplicate the problem. But it happens after you drive the car for a while. So I-??m waiting for it to get so bad that the problem can-??t be denied at the dealer. We shouldn-??t have to change a steering wheel component once every 20000 miles or once a year. The steering wheel is getting harder and harder to turn and I hear some noise when I back up. It-??s pretty scary, I really doing know what to do the shop foreman said that even if I get another one it could still do it again which is crazy. I just know that it-??s unsafe. Thanks

The steering wheel is sticking.m when driving straight and in turns. It's a slight stick, but increasingly more noticeable. While driving straight it happens if I don't touch the wheel for a few seconds. Then I'll need to make a minor correction and it's stuck. I have to put some decent pressure on the wheel to make it unstuck, which causes an over-correction. Leaving it in one position for more than a second or two initiates the stuck.
- Wesley Chapel, FL, USA
Recently, I've observed that my steering wheel feels stiff when I reach speeds of 45 mph and higher, particularly noticeable on straightaways. The wheel doesn't respond smoothly, making corrections difficult and causing the vehicle to jerk abruptly. It started off gradually, but now has become an everyday occurrence. I lights or indications appear.
- Jacksonville , NC, USA
Steering sticks and/or jerks slightly to the left at random times and speeds. Could be extremely dangerous at highway speeds.
- Mansfield, OH, USA
Steering sticks at highway speeds causing over corrections. This causes me to have to constantly make adjustment just to maintain lane.
- Forsyth, GA, USA
Just got this car and steering wheel feels stuck to the left at over 45mph, doesn-??t turn back straight by its own, will have to use a little force, sometimes at curves will caught you off guard and makes you to invade lines, definitely puts you and other drivers at risk of crash
- Dallas, TX, USA
Steering is sticking and caused my wife to damage wheel and tire, had recall done and hoped it would fix it but Honda said it was fine and it is still sticking and has resistance while turn both directions. Lane assist is off. We bought for my daughters first car but I will not let her drive it, not safe.

Steering wheel keeps getting stuck when driving on the freeway and after. I have voiced my concern about it to honda several times since getting the car but kept being dismissed. It got so bad I had to find my own mechanic to get the problem diagnosed so I could bring invoice to them. After doing so honda finally inspected it and were able to reproduce the problem but told me they cannot fix it because the parts are not available and my car is out warranty for it. It-??s gotten so bad I-??m scared it will get completely stuck and cause an accident.

my steering wheel is sticking and i have to fight with it to be able to steer my car it has been horrible for over a year. it very much is dangerous and so scary sometimes. i do not know when one day it is not going to turn and cause me to wreck. took it to dealership twice they told me the first time it's fine and they did not look at it. the second time they did not look at my car and just told me there would be a recall that Honda knows they have a problem and according to Honda it's safe to drive.when i received my recall they said my serial number on the steering does not match the one on recall and now they want me to pay a deductible and use my extended warranty because now my car is over the 36,000 miles. no warning lights come on for this. the dealer has ordered my part which is not going to be here till April 4th and once again wanting to me pay for it!!!
