So I had my steering rack changed on 3/23/23 because the steering wheel was having difficulty turning like it was sticking or notching feeling above 35 mph. The transition was from one lane to the other was not smooth. Now here I am less than one year later and the steering wheel is doing the exact same thing I took it in on 1/06/2024 to Gwinnett place Honda and they said they couldn-??t duplicate the problem. But it happens after you drive the car for a while. So I-??m waiting for it to get so bad that the problem can-??t be denied at the dealer. We shouldn-??t have to change a steering wheel component once every 20000 miles or once a year. The steering wheel is getting harder and harder to turn and I hear some noise when I back up. It-??s pretty scary, I really doing know what to do the shop foreman said that even if I get another one it could still do it again which is crazy. I just know that it-??s unsafe. Thanks

The steering wheel is sticking.m when 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. Leaving it in one position for more than a second or two initiates the stuck.

Recently, I've observed that my steering wheel feels stiff when I reach speeds of 45 mph and higher, particularly noticeable on straightaways. The wheel doesn't respond smoothly, making corrections difficult and causing the vehicle to jerk abruptly. It started off gradually, but now has become an everyday occurrence. I lights or indications appear.

Steering sticks and/or jerks slightly to the left at random times and speeds. Could be extremely dangerous at highway speeds.

- Mansfield, OH, USA

Steering sticks at highway speeds causing over corrections. This causes me to have to constantly make adjustment just to maintain lane.

Steering is sticking and caused my wife to damage wheel and tire, had recall done and hoped it would fix it but Honda said it was fine and it is still sticking and has resistance while turn both directions. Lane assist is off. We bought for my daughters first car but I will not let her drive it, not safe.

Steering wheel keeps getting stuck when driving on the freeway and after. I have voiced my concern about it to honda several times since getting the car but kept being dismissed. It got so bad I had to find my own mechanic to get the problem diagnosed so I could bring invoice to them. After doing so honda finally inspected it and were able to reproduce the problem but told me they cannot fix it because the parts are not available and my car is out warranty for it. It-??s gotten so bad I-??m scared it will get completely stuck and cause an accident.

my steering wheel is sticking and i have to fight with it to be able to steer my car it has been horrible for over a year. it very much is dangerous and so scary sometimes. i do not know when one day it is not going to turn and cause me to wreck. took it to dealership twice they told me the first time it's fine and they did not look at it. the second time they did not look at my car and just told me there would be a recall that Honda knows they have a problem and according to Honda it's safe to drive.when i received my recall they said my serial number on the steering does not match the one on recall and now they want me to pay a deductible and use my extended warranty because now my car is over the 36,000 miles. no warning lights come on for this. the dealer has ordered my part which is not going to be here till April 4th and once again wanting to me pay for it!!!

Steering wheel sticks while driving causing driver to jerk the wheel to make it move

- Inverness, FL, USA

Steering wheel has become sticky, feels stuck, hard to keep car in a straight line, wheel jerks when trying to drive. Extremely unsafe and scary.

- Inverness, FL, USA

I own a 2022 Honda Civic. I am having problems with the steering sticking. When traveling down the road and you need to make a slight correction to straighten up the steering or even switching lanes you have to give the steering wheel a slight tug, which then causes you to over correct and, in some instances, could cause an accident. This is very unsafe for any driver, and I will not even let my daughter drive the car because of this. The dealership is aware of the issue, but because the car is out of warranty, they will charge a $180 diagnostic fee, which I can't afford at this time being a single mother and the cost of things rising. I just feel this should be a recall on Honda's behalf seeing it is happening to a lot of other people as well. It wasn't so bad to start off with, but it seems to be happening every time I get behind the wheel now.

Whenever I drive down the road there is a tightness in my steering wheel like it-??s locking in place. I have to turn it just a little bit to get it to not have that tightness anymore and when I do it jerks. This problem has almost caused me to have wrecks and has been going on for 2 months now. I-??ve taken it to dealership twice to address this problem and they tell me they don-??t know what-??s wrong with it and they can-??t fix it if it-??s not gonna duplicate.

On [XXX] I had my wife take our 2022 HONDA CIVIC TOURING to COGGIN HONDA of ORLANDO for Maintenance Minder A,1services and to have them check as to why the car is making a funny sound when turning the steering wheel. Via text message, she informed me that they told her that the steering rack needed to be replaced and that it would cost $2245 with all the other services needed for the vehicle. I declined to have it fixed at that moment. October 19, 2023, I received an alert via HONDA LINK and saw there was a recall on the steering rack. On [XXX] I took the car back to COGGIN HONDA hoping they would now repair as it is now evident that the steering rack malfunction is not my fault and has an active safety recall. According to the technician, once he took pics of the part, he claimed it passed the inspection. That didn-??t make sense to me. My HONDA LINK app still shows that the recall is active and I deserve the remedy owed to me and hope that the lack there of hasn-??t caused further damage to my automobile. Also, I was told that the vehicle warranty had expired but the documentation attached clearly states that it is in effect until [XXX]. Please notice that they state that there are no active recalls on the vehicle. So now I am filing this complaint to have this safety issue resolved and to receive my remedy.

sticky steering, while driving at normal road speed 30-40mph in a straight line steering wheel sticks and requires constant adjustments to maintain lane, lane keep assist is off.

- Helena, AL, USA

While driving at highway speeds in a straight line the steering becomes sticky. It takes more effort than should be needed to correct the steering to stay in your lane. It can cause me to correct too much and make it difficult to maintain driving in the center of the lane.

Sticky steering

- Madison, GA, USA

"While driving my 2022 Honda Civic sport straight on the highway at speeds over 40 mph, an abnormal amount of force needs to be applied to the steering wheel in order to make minor directional corrections. This excess steering sensitivity poses a safety risk, as minor but necessary steering adjustments require excessive effort and attention while driving at high speeds

- Maynardville , TN, USA

The steering -??sticks-?? or catches while driving. I have to constantly over correct steering to compensate and keep the car in the lane. This is especially troubling at highway speeds. I took the car to the dealer and they were able to reproduce the issue. They said there are faulty steering components and agreed to replace. Repairs have not been completed as of date.
