When driving at highway speeds steering becomes sticky, making it a little harder to make minor adjustments when turning the wheel. Appears to occur mostly in winter months

Steering is catching when trying to make small left and right corrections to maintain lane.

- Van Alstyne, TX, USA

Steering sticks frequently at highway speeds (60+ mph) and sometimes at city speeds (30+ mph) causing me to apply extra force for micro adjustments and resulting in jerky and unsafe maneuvers. Particularly in extended curves the steering will stick in the initial turn position and require a good amount of force to change position. This creates unsafe maneuvers when driving. Vehicle was taken to dealership for sticky steering issue because I thought it might be related to a steering rack open recall, however dealership stated my vehicle was not affected by the recall and they were unable to replicate my issue with the sticky steering. There is no kind of warning light or notification on dash from any system when this issue happens. The feeling is most like when lane assist kicks in but the lane assist system is not engaging when the issue happens. The issue also happens regardless of lane assist being turned on or off.

I am experiencing a sticking steering wheel sensation that is most noticeable driving at high speeds. The wheel sticks and then jerks when corrected. It feels extremely unsafe. I do not want to drive it out of town or put more miles on it because I am afraid the problem will worsen or cause a wreck. I noticed this at 37,500 miles. Only 1500 miles outside of my warranty. I contacted Honda-??s customer service to see if they would cover repairs since this is a known issue and I am right outside of warranty. They said it would have been covered is I was still under warranty. They said that I needed to take it to a Honda dealership, pay the diagnostic fee, get an official diagnosis, then contact them with the diagnosis for information on if they will cover repairs. I paid the fee and the car was diagnosed with -??intermittent seizing coming from the power steering rack. Recommend replacement.-??. They quoted me $3300 to repair. I contacted Honda and they said they would not waive my diagnostic fee because I-??m outside of my warranty and this it-??s not an active recall. They forwarded my information to someone to review my case. I submitted my diagnosis and links to this website showing the open investigation. I will be contacting an attorney if Honda continues to refuse to pay for repairs.

When I am driving at high speeds my steering wheel feels like it gets stuck momentarily and I have to force it to go in the direction I want it to. Like it gets caught up on something? Kind of scary driving on the highway and feeling the steering wheel like seize up and have to force it.

While driving on the highway, usually after driving in a straight line for an extended period of time, the steering will become -??sticky-??. During these scenarios, it takes more effort than normal to turn the steering wheel, and then suddenly becomes much lighter to turn. It can catch an unsuspecting driver off guard and could lead to a crash. I have seen many other complaints almost identical to mine, and Honda even has a service bulletin open about the issue.

My steering wheel is sticking consistently. When driving I am unable to make minor, gentle course corrections because the wheel gets "stuck" and I have to use more force than normal to get it to move which then causes the car to jerk to the side slightly when it does release. While it is not a large amount of force needed, nor does the car veer wildly around the road it is significant enough that it is causing issues with driving. It requires enough extra force that my arms are physically becoming tired from correcting, and it seems to be increasing in severity. When I first noticed the issue it was sporadic and mild. It has now become constant and impedes driving. I am unable to drive straight without my car jerking back and forth every few seconds. It happens at all speeds, and both when lane keeping assist is on and off. Further, my lane keeping assist feature is now not functioning at all even in perfect conditions.

The steering wheel gets 'sticky' just to the left or right of the top dead center. It will catch and then release causing a sudden movement of the steering wheel. It is most noticeable above 45mph. It is very unnerving in the rain as it feels as if the car is hydroplaning even though it is 'just' the steering wheel sticking. Higher speeds on the interstate with mild corners are quite scary because the steering wheel doesn't just turn as you move your hand...it will catch and then with more force, it will suddenly release. To Honda's credit, they are replacing the entire steering rack and EPS under warranty but there doesn't seem to be any design change to the replacements so if this is a design issue I worry this issue will just return later on. It was noticeable when the car was at 5-6k miles but has become increasingly worse over time. It is now at 26k miles. There seem to be many concerns online over the same type of issue. The part is on back-order so I fear it will take some time to be fixed.

At highway speeds the steering feels sticky and you have to exert unnatural force to get the steering to correct. The feeling is that the steering rack is stuck in position and has to be forced free. Happens during small corrections only.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became sticky. The contact stated that the steering wheel failed to return to the center upon slight movement of the steering wheel. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was forced to manually re-adjust the steering wheel to prevent a potential accident. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer and was informed that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V704000 (Steering) however, the contact was later informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer where a diagnostic test was performed, and the dealer confirmed that the steering rack was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 46,600.

When driving, especially on the freeway, the steering wheel sticks and does not move smoothly. When adjusting the steering wheel, it jerks and over corrects to compensate for the sticking problem. It feels extremely unsafe.

Steering wheel feels like it will get "sticky" while driving and requires some force or movement of wheel to overcome the sticking point. Has happened on speeds from 20 - 65 mph. Is mostly felt and experienced while driving straight. Was taken to one dealership to check out and they were not able to reproduce the problem, said it was fine. No warning lamps, messages or scan codes were found.

At Highway speeds, steering feels sticky. Slight adjustments left and right you can feel a sticking point that let-??s go as you apply more pressure. This is a well documented issue across forums and ends up causing extremely dangerous conditions where you are fighting the wheel to steer at high speeds. They need to fix these cars

- Wentzville, MO, USA

Wheel becomes -??sticky-?? in colder weather and takes much more pressure or strength to turn the wheel. Problem doesn-??t persist in warmer weather. Becomes apparent at highway speeds, less so at lower speeds.

When driving at highway speeds steering sticks, and you have to forcefully move it out of place.

- Yoakum, TX, USA

Hello. I recently purchased a 2022 Honda Civic. The vehicle has faulty steering (sticky) when reaching highway speeds. When I googled the issue description, several articles on class action lawsuits against Honda emerged. The problem prevents the smooth flow of the steering wheel, and when it sticks, you have to overcompensate to return it to normal, which feels very unsafe. I have taken the vehicle to a Honda dealership twice, and there has been no remedy, as the diagnostic test passes. There are no warning warning lamps or messages. I have read on your website that this is currently a recall that is not yet complete. I have owned the vehicle since August, and the problem has been there the whole time. Thank you.

I am experiencing a sticky steering problem. My wheel catches regularly so it feels stuck. This happens at all speeds but especially at highway speeds. My turns are not smooth and the wheel must be torqued more than ever required on a car to turn and break the -??lock-??.

- Bowling Green, KY, USA

Car has sticky steering at 40 plus mph. Due to sticky steering the car darts in the direction of steering once sticky spot releases. This happens in both directions.
