While driving the car, I am experiencing a sticky steering wheel. it happens a low speeds but is more noticeable at highway speeds. The wheel sticks and when slightly turning it is causing me to over correct my steering. I have to be very quick because the car wants to jump into the other lane very quick. Then then going around larger curves, the steering wheel sticks and does not naturally rebound, again causing me to overcorrect. serious safety concern.

The steering is locking up/sticking when driving. Tends to get worse when speed gets up to about 40mph. This problem has been going on for quite some time just not been as bad as it is now. It is now unsafe to drive. Last drove it on the highway and the wheel kept locking up and car was heading off the road. Did not wreck but do not feel safe driving it now. I have brought it to the dealer ship when it was still in warranty and the dealership said it needed an alignment which did not fix the problem. No warning lights that there was a problem. Now that the car is out of warranty the dealership says The power steering rack needs to be replaced. Problem is they are on a national back order and there is no recall out yet so I am without a car until who knows when.

So i been experiencing my steering issues since the date i purchased my vehicle. I have brought my car in multiple times and the dealer has told me there is no issue with it. But for the last time i went to go get my oil change done and i told the service advisor again about the issue and they had me drive with someone in the car and once that person drove with me he noticed the issue right away. The issue was a bad steering rack and i already put 12000 miles on the car and it-??s been like this since 0 miles and it was very dangerous to drive. Well driving my steering would not go around loops or turns very well it will get stuck which almost got me in accidents multiple times. And now i am without a car for 4 months waiting for a steering rack which is really ridiculous. This is a safety issue which could have led to serious injury or death. It is ridiculous because i took my car multiple times and they did nothing until i told multiple times there is an issue with my car. My safety and other family members that drove my car could of be really in danger because of this.

The steering in my car is sticking/tightening during any speed over 45 miles an hour. At low speeds around 30 miles an hour there are not issues. It feels as though something is pulling on the steering wheel. It seems to only be noticable during warmer time frames. I had my car inspected at a Honda dealership and they did an alignment and assured me that they did not find any issues. I've brought it up on a few occasions and nothing has been done for it. I haven't seen any indication of an error or warning light.

Steering wheel is sticking/notching while driving. Occurs the most when the outside temperature is hot ~80 degrees or more. Most noticeable at highway speeds. Took vehicle to the dealership and they acknowledged the steering rack needed to be replaced but refused to do so until Honda issues a recall for it.

My steering wheel sticks, I took it to the dealer approx March 2022 could have been later date im not sure but the service techs and the service manager said it did not stick for them. I could no longer keep the rental car so I took my car back. It has been sticking ever since and sometimes you have to yank the wheel to get it to turn

I also am having the sticky steering problem I have to overcorrect it gets stuck. It looks like I-??m swerving and is extremely dangerous. It-??s not covered under warranty and it-??s a $2000 part on top of a 480 car payment a month for some thing is supposed to be a brand new save car Honda needs to be held responsible they-??re still making these cars they-??re still selling them they-??re not recalling or offering to help or even letting other people know I drive for a living. This is a death trap. I am terrified to be in my car at all and any time. I am literally traumatized by this by the fact that I cannot fix it who has an extra $2000 laying around to fix a brand new car that-??s less than a year old Honda needs to be held responsible for this negligence before more people get hurt more cars are total and more people are terrified. This is completely unacceptable. You keep hearing all these helpful Honda commercials no, how about you help the people that actually buy your cars that need help

About 6 months after I purchased this car in early 2022, the steering wheel began to get stuck when turning and curving with roadways. I took my car to the Honda dealership and was turned away several times due to them not knowing what was wrong. As of today, May 2023 the steering wheel getting stuck is worsening to the point where I am concerned for my safety.

Steering sticks while on the highway at high speeds. Small changes in steering results in a sticking of the steering and when the car finally engages to turn it exacerbates the turning. Results in a very difficult car to keep straight on the highway and overcorrected turning at high speeds. Steering rack in the problem.

We bought my sona 2022 Honda Civic and 8 months later he started having sticky steering. He would try to turn and the sterring causes resistance and kicks back. This almost caused him to get into an accident. Honda delaership "repaired" the issue and 3 months later it started happening again while in the expressway! This time the car will be parked at the dealer for 3 months while we wait for the part that is backordered. This issue is very dangerous and its shocking that Honda is permitted to sell these deathtraps and no rtecall being issued. Please let me know what is being done about this issue as we are paying for a lease on a car that has been parked for a month at the dealer. Thank you
