I own a 2022 Honda Civic. I am having problems with the steering sticking. When traveling down the road and you need to make a slight correction to straighten up the steering or even switching lanes you have to give the steering wheel a slight tug, which then causes you to over correct and, in some instances, could cause an accident. This is very unsafe for any driver, and I will not even let my daughter drive the car because of this. The dealership is aware of the issue, but because the car is out of warranty, they will charge a $180 diagnostic fee, which I can't afford at this time being a single mother and the cost of things rising. I just feel this should be a recall on Honda's behalf seeing it is happening to a lot of other people as well. It wasn't so bad to start off with, but it seems to be happening every time I get behind the wheel now.

Whenever I drive down the road there is a tightness in my steering wheel like it-??s locking in place. I have to turn it just a little bit to get it to not have that tightness anymore and when I do it jerks. This problem has almost caused me to have wrecks and has been going on for 2 months now. I-??ve taken it to dealership twice to address this problem and they tell me they don-??t know what-??s wrong with it and they can-??t fix it if it-??s not gonna duplicate.

On [XXX] I had my wife take our 2022 HONDA CIVIC TOURING to COGGIN HONDA of ORLANDO for Maintenance Minder A,1services and to have them check as to why the car is making a funny sound when turning the steering wheel. Via text message, she informed me that they told her that the steering rack needed to be replaced and that it would cost $2245 with all the other services needed for the vehicle. I declined to have it fixed at that moment. October 19, 2023, I received an alert via HONDA LINK and saw there was a recall on the steering rack. On [XXX] I took the car back to COGGIN HONDA hoping they would now repair as it is now evident that the steering rack malfunction is not my fault and has an active safety recall. According to the technician, once he took pics of the part, he claimed it passed the inspection. That didn-??t make sense to me. My HONDA LINK app still shows that the recall is active and I deserve the remedy owed to me and hope that the lack there of hasn-??t caused further damage to my automobile. Also, I was told that the vehicle warranty had expired but the documentation attached clearly states that it is in effect until [XXX]. Please notice that they state that there are no active recalls on the vehicle. So now I am filing this complaint to have this safety issue resolved and to receive my remedy.

Sticky steering

"While driving my 2022 Honda Civic sport straight on the highway at speeds over 40 mph, an abnormal amount of force needs to be applied to the steering wheel in order to make minor directional corrections.

The steering -??sticks-?? or catches while driving. I have to constantly over correct steering to compensate and keep the car in the lane. This is especially troubling at highway speeds.

The steering has become "notchy" or "sticking" at highway speeds. Any small adjustments between 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock on the steering wheel require more steering force. I'm unsure if this is a steering rack, power steering, or steering column issue. The issue can be replicated. I just worry about safety of others on the road as well as my own. I bought this car to be reliable for my clinical rotations out of state, and have some worries now. My civic only has 28k miles on it and was bought new. My steering rack was evaluated by a certified dealer for recall, and the serial number was deemed normal. No faults or warning signs have appeared. I called a dealer today, they are aware of the issue in "15 other civics, " but can not act since Honda has not released any information/solution. The service advisor just told me, "be careful." No other advice or instructions given.

I-??ve had this car for the past two years and when I purchased it, I thought the steering wheel sticking was because the was new. Here we are two years later and I-??ve having to jerk the wheel to unstick it while driving at high speeds on the freeway. I feel very unsafe when driving. I received a recall notice in the mail explaining to take the vehicle in to your local Honda dealer and they would asses the recall and repair for free, only for them to look at the problem and tell me it is not under warranty. I showed the paper once again that said they would repair it for free and they refused to do so. Please help me.

When driving, the steering wheel feels sticky and requires some force to keep the car driving straight. Car does not drive straight and requires constant handling of the steering wheel to keep it in the lane. It almost feels like the lane keeping system is trying to turn the car back into the lane but this feature has been disabled. I frequently notice this when driving on the highway at highway speeds after the car has been warmed up.
