The contact owns a 2024 Honda Civic. The contact stated that when attempting to make a left turn into a parking lot, after being idle, the steering wheel seized while still turned to the left.

The steering gearbox worm wheel in my 2024 Honda Civic (VIN: [XXX] ) has malfunctioned, creating increased friction and resistance, which poses a serious safety risk by compromising my ability to steer safely. This issue, confirmed by Honda-??s recall notice (NHTSA Recall Number 24V-744), could lead to loss of control, increasing the risk of an accident. Despite contacting Honda and my dealership multiple times over the past month, no repair or inspection has been performed, and I-??ve been unable to get a timeline for resolution. The steering also began making an unusual noise recently, heightening my concern. Given the unresolved safety defect and the car's diminished value, I believe this vehicle qualifies as a -??lemon, -?? and I am seeking either a replacement or relief from the loan due to the financial and safety implications.

Please help. I have purchased my 2024 Honda Civic last year in 2023. I-??ve had my Honda Civic for a year now. I recently noticed my steering wheel -??sticky-?? as some other 2022-2024 Honda Civic owners have reported and stated on all media-??s after researching. This mainly occurs to me after the car has warmed up and or its at its normal temperatures and driving. The steering wheel can feel some -??fight-?? even at 2 degree adjustment while driving. I feel unsafe to drive my car. I have read and discovered some have recalls for this matter of steering rack problems. Honda contacted me weeks after purchasing my Honda Civic and scheduled me to bring in my Honda to have it checked for the recall and apparently my Honda does not have a recall. I have called Honda today, 8/26/2024, and I explained what I am experiencing with my steering and they said due to my car being over 36k miles it-??s no longer under warranty even though this problem seems to be more of a recall type and should not require to be under warranty. Perhaps this recall has not been called for yet or discovered and I am reaching out to get help. As I am concerned and I am worried about my safety the safety for others as I am driver and transport passengers on daily basis as part of my job. Please once again help with my case and please investigate. As part of researching I did discover a rough cost of the steering rack and it is expensive and it was just for the part not including labor. This is unsafe and unfair. I hope whoever reads my description can understand my situation and help me. I am willing to cooperate with any information needed for this investigation as I believe it to be a future recall especially since the car has not had any accidents nor damages whatsoever. Please help my case.

While driving down the road at speeds of 30mph or more, the steering wheel feels like it is sticking. It makes it noticeably harder to turn the steering wheel at speeds to make minor adjustments to stay in the lane. I took it to Honda and we are currently waiting on a new steering rack to come in to try and fix the problem. When taking it to 2 different dealers, they were both able to confirm the issue. There were no warnings or lights on the dash when the problem first occurred.

At about 3000 miles, and when it was cold, started to experience -??sticky steering-??. On the highway, at higher speeds, the car resists when making small movements away from straight ahead. I took it in for the separate steering rack recall; my car did not need work due to the recall. However, they will be replacing the steering rack because of the sticky issue. The part is backordered, with no ETA. They said it-??s safe to drive, but it does make me nervous to go on the highway.

November 2023 - Present January 2024 - Current mileage 4900k Starting at roughly 3,000 - 4,000 miles, while going 55mph - 65mph and after driving for about half an hour / 30 minutes, the steering become sticky and no longer has a smooth operation or freely steering. The steering wheel slightly sticks to the left for a sec then releases creating a slight jerk motion to the opposite side. It has become quite dangerous to drive in any condition. So far the dealership has not found a way to duplicate the issue and can't seem to help. We have mentioned this issues to the dealership multiple times and dropped the car off with no luck of a fix. It has not been a great experience as we purchased new for my wife to commute to work and it's been nothing but a headache and dangerous for continue driving.
