As driving down the interstate. My car was on adaptive cruise as well as lane assist. It was like a nightmare! The car took total control. Throwing me from right to left to right to left and finally into a concrete barrier. The vehicles suspension on the drivers side both front and back failed. It was a nightmare you could not wake up from. I could have easily rolled the car over. And easily hit other vehicles. No warning lights or anything was on before the incident.

Have a previous complaint lodge, dealer replaced my steering rack about 3 months ago. within the last 500 miles or so the beginning signs of the issue are returning as this rack is also defective. Honda needs to figure out the problem and issue a recall immediately.

- Central Islip, NY, USA

Thanks for your support. The power steering is "sticky" causing to overturn and apply excessive force to get in to or out of a turn. I reported this to Honda in December and they diagnosed it as "electric power steering rack going bad. replacement needed" Warranty replacement. However, the part is under backorder and has no ETA since Dec 2023. I called Honda national and opened a case: 13730074 The vehicle was purchased at Rusty Wallis Honda Dallas in August 2022. They are refusing to service or replace the vehicle. I called them again today. The vehicle was diagnosed by Honda David McDavid Frisco Tx back in 31 Dec 2022 and they ordered the part. Still no ETA as of today. What are my options ?

Steering wheel feels sticky when driving

- Corona , CA, USA

I bought this car new from a Honda dealer in September of 2021. While driving the car home from the dealership I noticed it did not track straight and well on the highway - I needed to make small steering corrections frequently to keep it centered in the lane. Over the next few months I noticed the steering had small "kicking" motions and seemed to "stick" while driving normally. The car makes these motions at hwy speeds, low speeds, hot weather, cold weather, and sometimes when moving the wheel at rest I felt these stick or kick motions in the steering. These are subtle, mild motions but its alarming to have this happen and makes the car feel unsafe to drive. There is no pattern to when this happens - its totally random and unpredictable. I took the car in to the Honda dealer in December 21 for its first service and asked the service dept to check. I explained it was small steering motions and occurred randomly so they should drive it as long as needed to produce the problem. The dealers reported they could not find any problem with the steering. Since this service visit the steering "kicking" has continued to occur in the same random pattern since the day I bought it. I am a car enthusiest and have owned and drive literally hundreds of cars, trucks, SUV's and class I vehicles with manual steering, hydraulic power steering, and eledctric power steering. I have NEVER EVER had this symptom occur in any vehicle until experiencing in in th2022 Honda Civic. This steering prblem is NOT A NORMAL CONDITION - THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE STEERING SYSTEM THAT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD.

My steering rack has failed twice now, I purchased the car in August of 2021 and I have had a rental for over 7 months now combined. They are quoting July for the new part, likely replacing it with the same part that will fail again. Issues include: "sticky" steering wheel. Making it difficult to drive at low speeds, it is a safety concern not being able to make micro adjustments. Sometimes it pretty much locks and takes 2-3 lbs of pressure to "break" it free. It doesn't sound like much but when you're doing 70+ on the interstate it is incredibly dangerous. The first time it failed I was below 15k miles, then second time was right around 30k miles. The dealer has acknowledged the issue both times but has failed to replace it with a non-defective part.

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 contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the steering wheel started drifting to the left and the right independently. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to her destination. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and had an alignment completed. The contact continued to experience the failure. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the steering gear to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the parts not being available. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

Power steering is giving an error code which has disabled front radar and adaptive cruise control as well as lane keep assist. Dealership is refusing to tell me in depth what is wrong with the unit but is insisting I replace it.

- Rowland Heights, CA, USA

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.

-??Sticky Steering Wheel-??. My steering wheel locks and knocks while trying to maintain lane. Steering wheel rack replaced Feb 23,2023. As of yesterday May 30,2023 I am having the same problem again with the new replaced steering wheel rack.

- Gastonia, NC, USA

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.

My steering is sticking when driving. Makes it harder to handle at the time when it is occurring. It started in December 2022 and it has started again may 28th 2023

- Chadbourn , NC, USA

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.

- Spring, TX, USA

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

- San Clemente, CA, USA

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

Vehicle steering sticks and at times and locks while vehicle is in motion on highway and roads. Requires max effort to return to center and at times vehicle tries to follow lines on highway even with adaptive cruise control and lane departure system turned off. Very unsafe steering with almost a few accidents due to loss of control.
