Randomly while driving the steering feel stiff and sticky. After making a turn, sometimes the car will stay stuck in the turn and the steering won-??t naturally straighten itself out. When turning the steering wheel, it feels -??notchy-??. The dealership said because I had a curb mark on my wheel that this was the cause and I needed to pay $3000 for a new rack and pinion. The wheel scraping a curb while parking wouldn-??t do this. Also, it-??s random. At times the steering is complete normal.

The steering has started getting sticky at highway speeds, which probably started when I had about 14,000 miles on the car. It does reduce my control of the car slightly. I have not brought it to a dealership yet to have it looked at, and there were no warning lamps or messages.

The contact leased a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 30-40 MPH, the steering wheel became stiff and pulled to the right and to the left. The contact stated that he was able to control the steering wheel and continued driving. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring increasingly and had worsened. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the steering wheel alignment was performed; however, the failure persisted. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V704000 (Steering); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.

When driving at 70-75MPH my steering wheel will feel sticky or stuck while turning to the left between 10-12 O-??clock. Feels as if the lane mitigation is wanting to correct my steering all while the lane assist is off. Any minor corrections while steering wheel is sticky results in major corrections and forces me to swerve. Afraid of electric steering failing at high speed and causing a severe accident.

Anytime I am driving on the highway at normal highway speeds, the steering seems sticky. Sometimes I have to correct the wheel after curves. I notice it the most at 55mph+ during curves in the highway. It does not turn well or take turns well. I took it to the Honda dealership and they told me it was not part of the recalled serial numbers

While driving at a slight angle to the left, the steering wheel sticks. It seems to happen the most often going uphill at moderate speed, though can happen at any point. The sticking has varying degrees of severity. While not extremely dangerous it could be. It is a constant, unprovoked issue and requires that it be adjusted to maintain a safe line.

The steering sticked to complete super heavy to try to pull and I tried to brake and lost control and crashed into a tree damaging my right side fender and front tire. This car is unsafe putting my life on the line. EX-L civic is not safe. The issue doesn't go away it does it every time I go 30-45 and steering just stop working as in it stuck and heavy so I took it in after the incident and dealership told me everything looks fine they joy ride my car and didn't catch it so I told them to let me drive them and they caught it stating its can be steering rack which they want me to pay out of pocket for I told them warranty should cover it they stated not a defect just failure from my driving which is not right as the car only had 500 miles. I always hear noise of a tapping between the wheel and something else.

My car locked up the steering and then I hear a random noise and I don't have control of it so I almost crash into another car, but was able to move over into a stop sign so my front bumper got hit and I already took it into a shop to do a replacement bumper.

Frequently the EPS (electric power steering) feels -??sticky-?? when making minor adjustments while steering at speed. Usually happens above 30 mph and sometimes can be scary as the stickiness nearly causes over correction in steering. After inspection Dealer stated my car needs new eps system. It seems like this is an issue with many vehicles like mine.

DCH Honda of nanuet 10 route 304, ny 10954 The dealership provided no photos of remedy to indicate any problems with car. They also drove 3 miles after I told them you have to drive it for a min of 25 mins at least. Also they fabricated what I said was my complaint which was steering wheel feels heavy. I said steering wheel feels sticky and I have to apply a little bit of pressure to make adjustments on road in which I end up over steering.

1) Steering. Malfunctioning. Yes it is available for inspection. 2) Had I not taken action my vehicle could have moved into oncoming traffic. 3)No. Only by myself driving it. 4)No. 5)No warning lights. I purchased the vehicle as a "Honda Certified Used Vehicle" in June 2023. The car steers fine to the right. When turning left its a similar sensation like when the vehicle shuts off while in automatic shut off mode. I have to physically pull the wheel back to the right. I believe I still have some warranty remaining but this seemed like something I should report.

The steering on my 2022 Honda Civic EX started to feel -??sticky-?? while just off center at highway speeds starting at about 11.7k miles. I-??ve noticed it starts around low 40s MPH and usually continues to mid 50s MPH. It makes a kind of clicking feeling when I first start to turn the steering wheel for minor steering adjustments.

Have sticky issue. My vin was due for a recall took it in. Like always "couldn't replicate the issue" so no fix was provided. Vehicle was not fixed just cleared from recall. All dealers are going to say that just clear it and say there's no issue. Something else needs to be done. They said my tint was causing the issue but I had the issue was before tint was applied. Has completely nothing to do. No rental was given. Waste of my time and money. My steering has completely lost steering twice already intermediate then comes back.
