While driving the steering wheel is sticking. When you correct it it almost makes the car swerve. 8k miles on this vehicles and many of same complaints.

This vehicle was purchased new, (03/03/2023). At 5,460 miles (10/23/2023) returned to the dealership with steering complaint. Steering is sticky and seems to lock up at highway speeds. In order to turn the steering wheel when this happens you must apply additional pressure left or right to move the steering wheel pasted this condition which could cause an oversteer situation at higher speeds. Dealership test drove vehicle and was unable to duplicate condition. Vehicle now has 8,973 miles and condition is still present!! There are no warning lamps or messages to indicate referenced problem. Vehicle is available for any inspection to verify.

While driving on the highway, the steering becomes sticky (even with the lane assist off). The steering does not turn back and forth smoothly. It will get stuck in a position, and then release. This has made it nearly impossible to maintain a straight drive path without constantly readjusting the steering wheel. The car shows no maintenance or warning indicators. I feel this is a risk for me and my passengers as well as other drivers. Additionally, this is not a random occurrence; it happens every time I drive the vehicle.

The steering wheel will automatically jerk to the left and right while driving, particularly in cold weather. I had at first thought this was the lane assist, however I turned it off and the it was still happening.While driving on the highway it-??s as if the steering wheel is making small motions left and right on its own as I am trying to keep a straight path on the road. It has not put me at any direct safety risks but it is definitely a nuisance and makes the driving experience very annoying. I have not yet taken it to a dealership to be duplicated or inspected, however I have read that there have been multiple reports made to NHTSA about this same issue. There were no warning lamps or messages associated with this issue.

We bought this 2023 HR-V on December 31, 2023 and it currently has 14,343 on the odometer. About 5,000 miles ago (roughly) we started noticing that the steering feels "sticky" even with the lane assist feature disabled. It is especially noticeable around corners, but it happens at slower speeds as well as faster speeds. It doesn't prevent us from turning the steering wheel and keeping the car centered in the lane, but it does take more effort than normal.

I have a 2023 HR-V 5DR 2WD EX-L 5800K miles - bought 3/18/2023 Took my vehicle into my dealership to let them know I am having an issue with my steering as it sticks and then jerks when driving at any speed.

Steering wheel binds or sticks. Problem occurs whether rolling or at a stop. Can hear audible thump when turning wheel while vehicle is stopped. There are no warning lamps or other symptoms indications. Problem causes inadvertent over-correction to the point of lane departure. Happens at all speeds. Problem worsens when vehicle is loaded down. Problem has existed since delivery. Problem has been reproduced by my dealer who has ordered a new steering rack assembly. Part is on back order so whether this will correct the problem is unknown at this time.

The vehicle steering is sticking. The power steering rack is sticking when turning the wheel in either direction. Safety is compromised because steering is not easy. The dealer confirmed this problem and recommended replacement of the electric power steering rack after they found the same issue.no warning lamps. The dealer said part is on backorder until April and indicated I should take the car home, which I declined. They provided a loaner car after I insisted the car was unsafe.

- Odessa, FL, USA

While driving the vehicle at any speed, the steering wheel sticks when trying to make even the slightest movement. No warning lamps or malfunction codes appear on the instrument panel when this is happening. Additional effort is needed by the driver to overcome the sticking behavior. I took the vehicle my local Honda dealer in Selma, TX and they were able to replicate the problem. They recommended replacing the EPS gear box (rack and pinion) however the part is on critical backorder with American Honda. No timeframe is currently available on the availability of this part. The vehicle is driven by daughter and I am very concerned that this issue could cause her to lose control of the vehicle causing injury to her and other drivers around her. At the dealership I was advised to call American Honda because there is nothing they can do. I will be calling the manufacturer to report this issue and find out if a replacement vehicle can be provided and if not then perhaps a loaner while the vehicle is repaired. I would recommend creating a recall for this safety issue. I have read in various online forums that this is common issue with this vehicle.

We purchased this HR-V last year for my son. He has been driving it back and forth to school at a max of 35mph most of the time. We had to drive to Birmingham and probably the first time actually at speeds of 55mph or more. The steering didn't feel right. it seemed as if it was sticking in it's current position and took more effort to turn it, When it would finally turn it felt like it would ratchet over. I watched it carefully throughout the drive. When we got home, I took the vehicle in to the dealer for its first service, to accomplish a safety recall on the seat belts and asked them to look at the steering as well. It appears that this vehicle was having the same failure of the steering gearbox that has affected Civic, CR-V and Acura Integra models prompting a recall. And in fact, as we are waiting for the dealer to repair this vehicle with less than 4000 miles, they confirmed this gearbox is not available because it is the same gearbox as those models use. My concern is that this problem is affecting this model of vehicle as well, and probably any vehicle that has this same part.

Sticky Steering. Steering wheel provides resistance when turned and causes sudden jerky changes in direction of travel. Even though direction change is minimal it causes constant steering wheel adjustment. The symptom occurs at all speeds from a slow roll to highway speeds. Vehicle has 10,890 miles on it.

- Palm Coast, FL, USA

Steering sticks, which has to be overcome causing the steering wheel to jerk resulting in over-correction, especially at highway speeds (with and without LKAS activated). Steering does not feel centered.

- Miami, FL, USA

When driven especially in cold weather the steering feels like it sticks or jerks when making minimum movements. Which feels like it does not track or have to turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction. Happens when driving and standstill. This may be related to the current Honda steering recall.

- Norcross, GA, USA

Steering is very sticky and feels like pressure builds up while driving. Several times I've been in a situation where I have to jerk the steering wheel because it "locks" up and feels like your trying to pull apart magnets. The Honda dealership says they can't duplicate the issue. American Honda is ridiculous and won't help at all. I'm having a lemon law attorney currently review this issue along with other issues I've had with the HRV. This car is a total disappointment and unsafe in so many ways and Honda knows exactly what's going on they just aren't doing anything about it.

During a short drip in August 2023 was the first time I noticed the steering "freezing" on the highway and jolting when I tried to control it. I had to use considerable force to hold and direct the steering throughout the trip and back. Still, on the trip, it sometimes felt as if the vehicle was floating and the steering had no grip. It was such a risky and exhausting trip for me because of this problem. On November 30th, 2023, I was on the highway again and experienced it. The steering felt stiff and at times, the front wheels felt like they were being magnetically pulled away in a different direction. I felt so unsafe with other fast-moving vehicles on every side as I struggled to keep the steering aligned. I had to use a good amount of force to grip and direct the steering and found myself praying for safety as I drove. It was certainly hazardous as it could endanger my life and those of others. I called the dealership to lay a complaint. They asked me to bring the car over to them, but I am in a different location and frightened to drive the car for hours to them and then more hours from there back to my base. I asked if I could take it to a nearby dealership but was told I'd have to pay hundreds of dollars for diagnostics. If they could direct me to a nearby dealership to run diagnostics for free, I would be willing to do that. There have not been warning signs indicated by the vehicle so far. I got this car in March and it has less than 3000 miles on it. I don't know what to do. I feel as if I've made a mistake purchasing it.

I can feel my steering wheel sticking to the left and right. It's not the lane departure assist, it just sticks. I've taken it to my dealership twice and both times they admit they feel it sticking but says they don't have an answer. Looking this up, it sounds like there are several other HR-V owners with the same problem. Driving on a highway in a windy city, it takes a lot to control the car but makes it way worse when the steering wheel sticks. I feel like this is a major safety issue and Honda won't do anything about it. This happens all the time, not just once. You can feel it while in park or while driving.

- Overland Park, KS, USA

Steering wheel gets sticky/jerky when going on interstate now. Sometimes I need to over correct for it to unstick, which could be a huge safety risk

- Round Rock, TX, USA

Steering has become jerky and sticks in the last two weeks-??makes it very hard to drive and feels unsafe. We turned off the lane assist to see if that helped but no different. Diagnostic test was done today but results not yet confirmed. Was told it was -??safe@ to drive but power steering warning light came on twice on my 15 minute drive home.

- Orrville, OH, USA

The problem is related to steering. Steering wheel sticks at any speed but gets more hazardous as speed increases. Potential for accidental over steering-?" causing difficulties staying in lane. Accident did not occur, but steering problem could easily cause one.

- Nokomis , FL, USA

When i am driving my 2023 Honda HRV my steering wheel becomes sticky and jerky. By being sticky i have to jerk the sterring wheel and that makes the vehilce swerve a bit. I have spoke to the delearship and was advised that they have not gotten any recalls for that issue.There was no messages and this started sometime in september of 2023. I see on the Honda HRV forum, that there are several others that are having this issue.
