While driving the 2022 Civic sport there is a noticeable stickiness to the steering almost as if the wheel will look up while trying to drive straight and pull the car to different sides of the road. It originally was while driving straight mainly highway miles. Now it-??s becoming noticeable during day to day driving and turning. This is very unsafe considering the car can turn and steering wheel will not allow the driver to automatically correct because it is locked up. Around 5000 miles the steering wheel will begin having a loose change noise when turning to the left behind the horn, around 10,000 miles the steering wheel will begin locking up and not allowing the driver to correct it and will pull the car to different sides of the road. If you go to the dealership everyone pretends like it-??s unreal but check any forum and 1000s of people are experiencing these problems with 2022 Civics

My steering wheel is starting to stick, I have to pull harder than normal for it to turn, it's led me to over correct it by accident on the highway to get it to move. Others have had this issue on these Civics as well. If it gets worse I can see this being very dangerous if it gets worse.

Steering wheel/rack in car feels as if it-??s sticking, giving resistance, and notchy. Driving car at highway speeds the steering seems to be less responsive and doesn-??t want to continue to stay straight. Has a jittery feeling as if it wandering. Lane assist has been turned off and issue still occurred. The problem seems to be getting worse and the car feels unsafe to drive. Car has not been to dealer yet waiting in appointment. Car has no been inspected by any of the following: manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure when the issue started. Noticed issue on 12/6/22. Roughly 8600 miles on vehicle.

Civic

  • miles
Starting around 38k miles the steering will get stuck in the middle position causing me to use extra force to free the wheel. This causes an over compensation and swerving. It-??s especially worse at higher speeds than 40 mph. I feel this could cause an accident. It happens with lane keep assist on or off. I have not seen any fault lights on the dash and have not taken to a dealer or mechanic yet, but I will soon.

The steering wheel sticks at times. Driving straight and in turns. It's a slight stick, but increasingly more noticeable. While driving straight it happens if I don't touch the wheel for a few seconds. Then I'll need to make a minor correction and it's stuck. I have to put some decent pressure on the wheel to make it unstuck, which causes an over-correction

At medium to high speeds (40 - 70 MPH ) the steering wheel sticks in left and right directions with all lane keeping and Honda safety turned off. It takes a decent amount of force to correct the steering and causes jerky reactions causing my car to dramatically bounce between lane lines. This is a major safety issue as on a curvy road I can easily veer off road or into oncoming lanes. This is a major issue and have found a lot of other Honda Civic owners are seeing the same issue. There are no indicator lights on the dash when this happens. I have tried to correct issue by changing the steering wheel location via the telescope position with no change. I plan to take my car in to service ASAP as it is unsafe to drive on my daily 100mi commute.

While driving, the steering wheel will stick and require extra effort to turn the wheel. While not currently life-threatening, this has all the potential to become fatal. There has been some reproductions at service centers, but my vehicle has not been inspected yet, and there are no warning lights or prompts.

I own a 2022 Honda Civic sport and I am having steering issues. When going over 30+mph, the steering wheel feels very STICKY, on the highway the wheel will stay in a slightly turned position and not return to center, It causes resistance when making small corrections which then gives away when applying pressure, over correcting and making driving dangerous. This started around 8k miles and I now have almost 12k with no fix (I've had the car since 5 miles). Driving this car at first was one of the most fun experiences, but now its getting tiring with this big issue that dealers around my area cannot fix.

Civic

When driving straight on the freeway for a certain amount of time, the steering wheel sticks and I would have to apply more force to adjust the steering. I had the dealership run a diagnostic and they updated the software but the problem still persists. The steering is sensitive and applying extra amount of pressure is dangerous, especially on rainy days.

My steering wheel becomes sticky once I get to highway speeds. Attempting to make any micro adjustments becomes difficult because it requires more force and causes over correction. It doesn-??t happen as often when temperatures are lower though. Seems more common when it-??s warm out. Have not gone to the dealer yet.

Immaculately kept and cared for 2022 civic with 8,000 miles on it has -??sticky-?? and/or -??binding-?? steering, which came on out of nowhere a week or two ago. The problem is more pronounced at highway speeds, but is starting to become noticeable at residential street speeds (25-35mph) too. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY LESS THAN YEAR OLD CAR! Brought it to the dealership yesterday and they actually acknowledged the problem and recommended -??a whole steering gearbox replacement-??, which is under warranty, but the part has at least a month lead time. Unacceptable! Most dangerous incident took place when I was turning onto my street and in mid-turn the steering wheel got stuck making me have to apply more than normal force and making an over correction. Thankfully, nobody was around so I didn-??t hit anyone, but it could have been bad if there was a car in the opposing lane.

The car has 13,000 miles. The steering sticks on the Highway and over corrects When having to unstick it. It feels very unsafe to drive. Took it to the dealer and they said could not find anything wrong. It started doing this recently was fine up to now. Don-??t feel safe at all driving it and there is a clunking sound when making turns or backing out of a parking space.

problem #19

Nov 302022

Civic

  • miles
This issue has been occurring since my vehicle had approximately 10,000 miles on it. Currently has around 16,000 miles on it. Sticking of the steering wheel while at traveling speeds and near-straight direction. Generally happens for the entire duration of the drive, occurring after the steering wheel has been stationary for more than a second or two. Most noticeable when at faster/highway speeds. Problem will be reported to the dealer. This can very in intensity and require different amounts of effort to overcome the sticking. It causes annoyance in keeping the vehicle straight or slightly curved, and making very minor steering inputs can be difficult. This could create a safety issue if not expecting it or cause minor over-correction when the pressure releases while traveling on contaminated roads. Seems to happen more often in cool temperatures between 45 and 65 degrees, and regardless of LKAS or other driver assist system functions being on or off.
