Steering is 'sticky, ' making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel, it is like it has to 'break free' from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 50-65 mph, regardless of the driving mode

My new Honda Civic 2022 purchased April 2022 first exhibited "sticky" steering about 6 months after purchase. The issue started off as a low resistance and would go away and not happen again for weeks. By mid 2023 the sticky steering resistance had become significant and was occurring more frequently. I began taking my car into the dealership however they were unable to reproduce the issue. In December 2023 I could no longer safely operate my car at speeds above 40 mph as small steering corrections required over-steering. I took my car back to the dealer saying I could no longer drive it. They reproduced the issue and took possession of my vehicle. My car is under warranty however there are no parts available to make repairs. The dealership has been in possession of my vehicle for 2 months now and last I was informed the availability of parts had been delayed.

steering feels "sticky" when making minor turn adjustments on a straight road. It would randomly freeze at a position and require extra effort to "break loose", resulting in unwanted oversteering. This problem used to occur occasionally at highway speeds only (50+ mph), but now happening more consistently at any speed. Had a Honda dealer inspected the vehicle, they claimed the car drives normally and there is no issue with steering.

The steering sticks, feels tight like it-??s hard to turn when driving at 40mph+ speeds. You have to apply more steering pressure to turn the wheel, at which point the steering pressure will suddenly release and turn normally. It will do this constantly as you drive down the road.

Over the last 6 months or so, the steering has felt weird - like I would have to sharply move it when trying to adjust going left or right. More noticeable the faster the car moves. Getting worse now. I researched 2022 Honda Civic EX steering issues, and reports of "sticky" steering are being investigated. "Sticky" is exactly the term I would use when describing this problem. I will now contact my Honda dealership to report the problem and attempt to find a solution. Car still under warranty.

My 2022 Honda Civic Sport has been having an issue with the steering rack it seems. The steering wheel gets stuck when turning left and right. It "sticks". This is super frustrating with it being a new car. I have never been in a vehicle that has an issue like this, and it seems that many people have the same issue as me.

- Rocky Top, TN, USA

Steering wheel is sticking at speeds greater than 40 MPH. This has been an on-going issue for several months, but over the last week it has been getting worse. The incident that has prompted this complaint occurred while driving this evening on the interstate. I moved to pass an 18-wheeler while entering a slight curve in the lanes. The steering wheel failed to respond as it should have, and I felt as if I could have been in an accident. It isn't that I could not turn at all, but the extra effort I had to use on the wheel in order to navigate only a modest curve in the scared me in that particular situation. Since it is getting worse, I have to say I'm not fully confident of my safety while driving this car. I feel this for two reasons: first, I have no idea when or where the problem might present itself, or to what degree of effort I will need to put into the wheel; and second, I feel at some point I will overcompensate and either hit another vehicle or drive into a skid. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer, but I am not certain they even test-drove the car. The invoice states it operates as normal, which means they could not have test-drove it. I described my issue in detail, even showed them the complaints on the NHTSA website, and I was told that Honda did not have a solution for the problem. There are no warning lamps present, and the vehicle is available for inspection for anyone who wants to inspect it.

My steering wheel does this "sticky" thing. It's exactly what I have read about online. If I turn left the car is not turning with me. If I turn right the car isn't turning with me. Very unsafe and has almost cause multiple accidents! I took the car to the dealership and they were not a huge help. I was quoted $2500 for repairs! Unacceptable for such a new car and such a common problem!

- Albemarle, NC, USA

When driving at highway speeds, steering wheel -??sticks-?? or -??locks-?? and requires extra force to turn. Problem was intermittent at first but has gotten worse over the last few days. Problem seems to occur whenever the wheel has not been turned for a few seconds. Driving at city speeds doesn-??t cause problem to occur. No lights or warnings indicate any problems. Issue occurs with or without lane departure on. I-??ve made an appointment with the dealership. Dealership said they would -??re-inspect-?? a part that had previously passed their visual inspection but has known issues/recalls.

Steering is sticking when driving at highway speeds. Steering wheel requires extra force to begin steering, and after starting to turn the wheel, power steering starts at a delay. This causes difficulty making small steering adjustments and causes sudden overcorrection.

- Chesapeake, VA, USA

Sticky steering, vehicle is hard to drive at highway speeds due to steering sticking making it impossible to make minor corrections. After making a sweeping turn the steering does not return to center on its own and requiring force to center. This was first reported at around 6,000 miles and repaired at 12,000 miles. This has now reoccurred at 24,000 miles and is persisting. according to the dealer the repair part is 4 months out. This car is dangerous to drive!

- Winchester, KY, USA

When driving at 50mph the steering wheel gets stuck and requires more force in order to slightly turn the wheel, I took my car to the dealership to get my recall fixed about the steering rack but the issues persists.

- Glen Burnie, MD, USA

Steering feels sticky/stuck at 40mph + after driven for awhile(10min+). Extremely noticeable at highway speeds. I-??m feeling like I-??m fighting my car to stay in the center of my lane. Safety is hard to maintain, hard to keep in center of lane. We-??ve taken it in to dealership and they couldn-??t reproduce but never took it on highway. Several phone calls to dealer. I did do the steering column recall. Dealer inspected car for this recall and took pictures to submit to Honda. No warning lights, messages or other symptoms prior to this happening. Drove with no issues until 3-1-2023. Low mileage. I only have about 7,500 on car now. Issue started around 4,000 miles. I never use lane assist. This happens every time I drive the car.

Steering wheel -??sticky-?? while driving, when turning the wheel it feels like it is tight or sticky, the wheel doesn-??t turn smoothly. I noticed a few weeks ago and have recently seen other complaints of the same situation.

- Greer, SC, USA

I have $32k miles on my car. I noticed within the last month, and it's getting worse, my steering is "sticky" or "Jerky". I do not use lane assit ever. 50+ if when i start to notice and gets worse the fast you go.

- Blountsville, AL, USA

I purchased a 2022 Civic LX in 2022, it now has 75k miles. After 50k or so i started to notice the steering wheel almost start to "stick" & make a popping/clicking noise (different than that of a cv axle) after long highway commutes, for example...im going 30mph on the street & i start to make a turn and i will almost have to kind of force &/or unstick the wheel to align it. I've seen numerous reports on this issue & its quite scary.

Sticking steering wheel when driving long distances on the freeway and make long turns getting on and off freeway ramps. I brought my car in for service to Honda before the warranty expired at 36k miles regarding the sticking steering wheel issue, another known recall -??Part 573 Safety Recall Report-?? and an oil change. Honda Escondido advised me that my car was good to go. I brought the vehicle back to Honda with just less than 100 miles over the 36k mark and now they advise me that the vehicle needs repair and I'm outside of the warranty period. This issue needs to be updated to an active recall due to the seriousness of danger this issue could potentially cause. Working with the dealership and corporate to get this matter resolved. *Perform a web search and see how many people are dealing with known issue.

When driving, it feels as if the electric power steering is sticking. This has been happening on and off for months but has recently became every time I get behind the wheel. I notice it around 30 mph or higher (the faster I go, the worse it is). I do not feel safe driving my own vehicle. I feel like I always have to correct myself to keep my vehicle in the lane and fear of running off the road, causing an accident or lose control of my vehicle. I have taken my vehicle to my local Honda dealership and they cannot duplicate the issue. I have had 2 mechanics feel it the first time they test drove my vehicle. I have read there is a class action lawsuit for this same exact thing for the exact year, make and model of my vehicle.

The steering on my vehicle has started to "stick" in the center. It's only really noticeable when traveling straight at highway speeds. it becomes more difficult to stay within the lane, as the smallest increment I'm able to turn the wheel is larger than the amount I actually need to turn the wheel. So I am constantly over-correcting, causing the vehicle to slowly bounce between the left side of the lane and the right, rarely able to actually stay in the center of the lane. This increases the amount of effort required by the driver to stay inside the lane. almost feel like you're trying to pull two magnets apart to get the vehicle to go in a straight line. The steering almost feels like it's stuck in a rut and you have to pull it out and then it gets stuck again and this is never ending throughout the drive.

- Phoenix, AZ, USA

When I am driving the vehicle at highway speeds 50-65 mph and try to correct steering wheel a little to the left or right it feels stiff and it-??s been happening for like a year. This puts other drivers and myself in danger because my steering wheel shouldn-??t feel sticky or hard to adjust it while driving in the freeway. Also many other drivers of the same model 22-23 civics have reported the same issues.
