We are experiencing the "sticky steering" issue that is currently under investigation.

- Baker, FL, USA

When driving, typically at highway speeds, steering becomes -??sticky-?? or stiff and more pressure is needed on steering wheel to make adjustments.

- Albany, OR, USA

There has always been intermittent noise related to steering, like a part needing oil, without a steering problem until now. Now, steering is sticking for sure. Entire family noticed it separately after driving. I googled, and immediately found your investigation site. Affects me staying in my lane.

Steering is "sticky", with random resistance encountered, mainly from top center of wheel while making micro adjustments left or right and back to center. It happens almost every time it is driven at various speed. Williams Honda of Elmira, NY looked at my vehicle and determined it was not effected by the steering rack recall. So, I'm unsure what the problem is now.

- Interlaken, NY, USA

We have noticed the steering wheel "catching" at times; this hasn't been severe yet but is concerning. It tends to happen more on highways as opposed to dirt roads, so the higher the speed is. We have an appt today with the local Honda dealer so hopefully this gets fixed.

I made an appointment at Klein Honda in Everett to have the recall checked out or remedied, the service tech told me that their shop did not have the tools or parts to fix the recall yet. My receipt states that the recall was performed and now my steering wheel has started to stick and jerk subtlety while driving and also parked.

The steering wheel feels like it-??s sticking at times, causing the driver to over adjust when turning curves or even just trying to keep the car straight.

- Blue Ridge, GA, USA

Power steering system making steering adjustments to left or right on its own. Increases with time and speed. When car is pointed straight electronic power steering will slightly jerk the car to left or right without input from driver. Repeated false inputs while driving. Serious safety concern!

I first noticed the sticky steering back in November of 2022, after owning the car since May of 2022. The steering would become sticky, almost as if your were steering in 2 or 3 degree increments. I took it to the Honda dealer, Don Jacobs here in Lexington, KY, and they had it for almost a day, drove it and told me when I picked it up they could not feel it. I drove it away and it acted the same way, felt blown off by the dealer, as if I did no know what I was talking about. As an experiment I took the car to a parking lot and did a couple of lock to lock turning circles, and low and behold it quit. After a while it would come back, took to the dealer again, again they said they did not feel a thing. It has done it off and on since, I just do the lock to lock and it quits for a while. Have noticed when driving on the highway that it starts to act up quicker. Yes, Honda should issue a recall. I could see someone with limited mechanical ability, having it lead them into an accident situation. There were sometimes I had to really put way too much pressure on the steering wheel just to make any minor corrections, warning my wife to be careful and not over steer the car.

- Lexington, KY, USA

I have 28,000 miles on my 22 civic sport touring hatchback. For about the last 2-3 months the ability to keep the car driving perfectly straight has been getting more and more difficult. This is on the highway doing 40-70 mph and when driving straight and it almost seems like when you haven-??t added any steering input for a few seconds or more, it starts having a slight but noticeable dead spot or sticky spot in the steering. It has caught my anttention multiple times now including everytime I use the lane keep assistance. The dead spot or sticking spot is still there with the lane keep on and it causes the car to not be able to maintain a straight line even with you giving manual inputs. In the last week this has become substantially more prominent because I-??ve changed jobs and have an hour drive both ways to work. The dead spot, dead zone or sticky spot is now noticeable going around a corner if you are holding the steering wheel in the same position for more than a few seconds, today I had the steering wheel feel like it was jerking going around a busy corner at a 4 way intersection. The last two days have been much warmer where I live and after 35-40 minutes the sticky spot makes it nearly impossible to maintain a straight line while crying down the road and a lot of roads where I live are long and straight and a brand new 1 year old car should not be doing this. Going around the long sweeping turn at the intersection today was kinda scary feeling the same dead spots as I had the steering wheel turned. It is clearly an issue and I have seen all the other reports of the same issue. I will be taking it to the dealer as soon as they will see me. The problem is that there are no error codes or engine lights and the Honda techs are not driving the cars long enough to have the steering box warm up and start showing the problems. Once the car has been driven for a while it does it at low speeds too. Please help, I know I-??m not the only one with this problem

I have experienced sticky steering and continue to experience it for over one year. The dealer was able to reproduce the problem. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no warning lights, or messages. The date for additional details will be today's date for because the problem continues.

- Shawnee , KS, USA

Sticky steering, feels like the wheel is stuck and takes a bit of power to move the wheel and it could cause an over turn or an accident at worst. It only has 66,000 kms and I just bought it and it's a touring trim and I don't know if it's one of the safety things Honda has added but I've never felt anything like this in any other car. It is annoying but could see it causing an accident when it becomes usable again sometimes it's an aggressive turn to unstick it. I think Honda should recall this and fix it free. It's an expensive car and it should not have this problem especially with a reputation like honda has.

Steering wheel sticks while driving requiring additional pressure to manipulate the wheel. It was checked at the dealership but was not replicated. Dealer stated they knew the issue was the steering system but couldn-??t replicate it so they couldn-??t repair it. The front collision system alerts and applies the breaks while cruise control is set randomly with nothing around. These issues have been around for a year or

The dealership service center has inspected my vehicle twice. The first time I was notified that the part was placed on back order and there was an unsure date of when parts were to be released. This occurred a few days after the recall notification on 10/19. I received a phone call from the dealership stating that my car is unsafe to drive and still waiting on parts to come in. The same day 11/14, I was given a loaner vehicle. 7 days later I was notified that the part had arrived and the dealership was going to begin repairs. I assumed that my car was going to be fixed. The dealership inspected my car again and I received a phone call on 11/25 that my vehicle does not qualify under the recall stated above. On top of that, they informed me that they were still waiting on the part. I am unhappy with the lack of knowledge from the dealership about the matter and the amount of misinformation I-??ve received about the status and qualification for the recall. I have noticed sticking in the steering wheel for months prior to finding out about the recall. I would have pointed it out much sooner if I would have known how serious this is. Apparently it is serious enough that I am unable to drive the car but not serious enough for Honda to recognize the recall and pay for the repairs or obtain the parts in a timely manner. I am highly dissatisfied with the lack of ability to problem solve this safety issue.

- Olive Branch, MS, USA

when driving on a highway roughly 30 minutes, the steering wheel get stuck when doing micro correction, This feel dangerous. When this happens, A overreaction occurs, making driving experience focus only on that. Not safe.

- Brooklyn, NY, USA

My car has almost 17k miles and has developed a hard steering issue. This mostly happens at highway speeds and has occurred in curves. The steering wheel doesn-??t move freely. To correct it takes some effort to make the steering wheel move then it-??s a slight over correction. After the initial stick it moves freely. But occurs every time any movement is initiated.

- Anderson , SC, USA

While driving at approximately 70mph on highway I-10 (west bound) in the Pensacola area, the steering wheel of my 2022 Honda Civic locked up and became very tight. The car has only 8,500 miles on it and is relatively new. I had to turn the wheel hard to get it to unlock and the car went to the right, the wheel locked again, I then tried to recover to the left and had to turn it hard again causing an overcorrection. The car went into a slide and eventually recovered. I slid into the left side emergency lane and came to a stop. I was able to get the vehicle home but it appears there is a mass problem with this model of the 2022 Honda Civic. The steering wheel tightens up so much above 50mph that the car can't be safely controlled. This came out of no where and the car wasn't doing this before. I am parking the car and contacting Honda immediately to let them know what happened. There have been multiple complaints about this Honda model and others have reported the same harrowing issues. There were no warnings, nothing before it happened. I've never had a problem with Honda so this is shocking. In my opinion, this is a major safety problem that could result in loss of life or property damage. These cars need to be recalled and taken off the road immediately....right now! In my opinion I could have been killed or ran into innocent drivers. These cars are totally unsafe and it is sad Honda isn't addressing the problem. Hold this company responsible.

Steering wheel is sticking. Takes considerable amount of force to free up. All components pass visual and pre-trip inspections. Advised dealer, no open recalls or WEP to correct this issue. This has been getting progressively worse.

When turning or reversing it does a weird noise, when driving on the freeway the steering wheel locks and it-??s hard.

- Rosenberg , TX, USA

When going speeds greater than 50mph, the steering wheel seems to be sticking when trying to do small turns to stay in the lane.
