Sticky steering wheel. Steering is difficult when I am driving.

- Avondale , AZ, USA

While driving felt the steering wheel stick when the wheels are straight and in order for me to get back control I have to jerk it left or right but as I am driving doing that car feels like I-??m constantly moving from the sides of the lane not straight anymore. At first it was highway speeds but notice yesterday that it-??s at lower speeds as well. It feels like the steering wheel just gets stuck when you get your steering wheel straight, all I have to do is jerk it a little but that doesn-??t seem right, had the car brand new and never felt this until 2 days ago.

When I am driving at highway speeds in a lane on a straight path the steering wanders from center. When I attempt to correct there is resistance in the steering wheel. I have to "push through" the resistance at which point the steering obstruction suddenly clears and if I am not ready for it the sudden lightness of the steering can sometimes cause me to overcorrect. As I return to center coming from the other direction I again encounter resistance in the wheel at center. This only seems to happens when the vehicle is driven straight, in turns at surface street speeds there is no detectable resistance and the wheel turns smoothly. The effect is quite pronounced at highway speed and does occur at lower speeds on surface streets when driving straight but is much less noticeable.

Issue with the steering wheel. It was hard to drive the car because steering wheel did not let me keep the car straight and ever turns, the steering wheel would fight me pushing it back which put me and others at risk where I almost hit someone. Took the the Honda dealership where I bought the car. First time that I took 12/20/23. Explained to the servicer advisor and he said it was due to a recall. Servicer advisor said it was fixed. After the 1 day driving the car, the issue was still there. Checked the inspection report and it said that according to the EPS gearbox part number/serial number label was not effected so no repair necessary. Had to take again to the dealership on 12/27/23 where they found that the issue is a manufactured part defect and they have not been able to fix it due to not having the parts and waiting for American Honda.

Steering becomes -??sticky-?? after driving 15 minutes. It is mostly noticeable at highway speeds. It requires extra effort to make small corrections but then releases and causes over correction. It has not been inspected but after doing research it appears to be a common problem.

When driving the vehicle in a straight road. While attempting to keep the vehicle in the center of the road the steering wheel is -??sticking-?? and I have to apply a little more force to get it to counter steer to keep the car aligned.

My civic has steering problems. It-??s sticks in place and at times appears to float.Its unsafe to drive. Honda Dealership evaluation shows the steering rack and components need replacing. Parts on back order due to this happening everywhere to 11th gen civic owners. I-??m told it will be the end of April 2024 before part availabile due to demand, that-??s 3-4 months away, my car sits undriveable! My concern is they replace steering rack with same faulty products and it happens AGAIN when out of warranty.

- Clermont, FL, USA

Unknown. The steering wheel feels like it gets stuck when I'm driving at 45 mph+, but especially around 70 mph. It's like the steering wheel is locked and I have to forcefully tug it to correct my driving, but then it gets stuck all over again, so it's a constant back and forth while making minor corrections when driving.

I was making a right turn the steering wheel stuck & I hit a curb causing significant damage. Honda says it-??s not from recall & won-??t pay for any of it $4600 to repair it. It was clearing from the steering being sticky.

- Manteca , CA, USA

There at times where the steering requires a little more effort to turn. This causes me to either over correct or panic a little bit that my steering wheel is "sticky".

-What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Unknown, possibly the steering rack and or power steering motor. -How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk Inability to safely maintain lanes and the wheel not returning to the center after a turn requires extra force (Especially60+MPH) to get the wheel moving again that causes over corrections and in turn swerving that can be very dangerous to me and others on the road especially after getting stuck during said over correction. -Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center" Yes, I took the car to the dealership said they were aware of some cars having this "sticky steering" and they did NOT get in the car to confirm the issue. -Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others" Yes, after I called the dealership about the steering issue, the dealership scheduled appointment for the car and held the car at the dealership for (I think 1) day for a recall for a similar issue description: "An improperly assembled steering rack may allow tires and/or tire chains to rub against the vehicle-??s lower suspension or tire rod end, which could cause tire damage." They gave the car back after the 1 day and said the car wasn't experiencing said issue of the tires rubbing and they updated some software. Nothing changed after getting the car back, they did not replace or service any parts of the car. The steering issue has gotten significantly worse since. -Any warning lamps, messages OrOther symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? I started noticing the steering wheel getting stuck when driving straight and requiring extra force to get it moving again, micro adjustments are really hard without over correcting. The wheel also started no longer returning to center and gets stuck off center and LKAS wont stayCenteredInLN

- Melbourne , FL, USA

Steering feel sticky while driving or at idle. I feel resistance while turning the wheel. At stop if I slowly turn the wheel you can definitely feel it being sticky. I have take the car to the dealership and as usual they told me it's normal. They are many many other people who have same complaint. There should be a recall.

For several months, the steering wheel has been sticking (slightly left and right of center) when traveling at highway speeds. It-??s almost feels like we have to push it past a break point. The car was just serviced approx two weeks ago, and no issues were reported by the dealer. They did not drive it at highway speeds, so we assume they only checked for codes. This is of concern, as the car is driven through mountains often and the need to make subtle turns n the steering wheel are essential. The issue requires extra effort to keep the car straight between lines. The car could be made available for inspection with prior notice.

My steering wheel jerks on highway constantly

- Waverly Hall, GA, USA

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.

- Cypress, TX, USA

At highway speeds, I feel a stickiness/resistance when I make adjustments to steering. It feels like there is glue or something sticky stopping me from adjusting the wheel.

- North Andover, MA, USA

The steering rack is malfunctioning, causing a sticky feel through the steering wheel. - This is potentially dangerous because the car will not straighten up without considerable effort when leaving a curve. The car will also wander in it's lane because the stickiness in the steering wheel makes it impossible to make minor corrections. - I am in contact with the dealership to have it inspected, it is out of warranty so it will most likely not be covered without a service bulletin. - There are no warning lights whatsoever.

Vehicle steering wheel begins to get stuck/locked in position when turning on high and low speeds after driving the car for about 20-30 mins. Becomes very unsafe on the high way when taking curves at high speeds and having to forcefully turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction to unlock or unstick the steering wheel. Problem persist at low speeds when driving in the city at and making sharp turns. In a few occasions I-??ve almost gotten into an accident by nearly swiping vehicles trying to keep the steering wheel straight. I took in the car on 1/2/24 to Galpin Honda to look into the problem/recall and they stated nothing in wrong with the vehicle and returned the car into my possession. The problem still persist after leaving the dealer.

10/19/2023 NHTSA recall 23V-704, Manufacturer recall YFW 10/28/2023--I rented a 2022 Honda Civic from National at airport. Leaving the airport initially I didn't notice an issue. But after traveling several miles at highway speeds, on changing lanes or making minor adjustments in direction, I noticed the steering wheel felt like it would stick, then release allowing the car to change direction, stick, then release allowing the car to change direction. This happened with each adjustment of the steering wheel. This did not occur driving at slower speeds. 11/2/2023--I had driven west from Miami Beach on Tamiami US Highway 41 and had entered Cypress National Preserve. I had reached about the midpoint between Miami Beach and Naples, missed the left turn to highway 94. Realizing I had missed my turn, I was driving about 45 mph looking for somewhere I could safely turnaround. I saw a road off to the left, slowed to make a left hand turn. While continuing to brake, I started to make the left hand turn. About 30-45 degrees into the turn, the car stopped responding to my turning the steering wheel. LOST STEERING. Car was headed for the ditch and guard rail. I continued to turn the steering wheel left but it had no effect. I continued to brake and slowed the car as I went through the ditch before hitting the guard rail. I did not hit the steering column, my passenger did not hit the windshield. The airbags did not open. My phone automatically called 911. A couple from Tennessee stopped to help us. This happened at dusk and it quickly became very dark. They stayed with us over 2 hours until National's tow truck arrived and then they drove us back to our hotel, 50+ miles each direction out of their way. The tow truck could only take one of us and we could not get Uber or Lyft to go that far out of Miami. No warning lights or messages prior. As of 12/31/2023 NHTSA website indicates this recall still incomplete.
