STEERING
While driving I will experience extra resistance/sticking in the steering wheel. It's most noticeable on the interstate but I can experience it at any time. I have an appointment with the dealership tomorrow to look. I know there is an active recall for certain trim levels of my year/make/model for this exact issue, but my vehicle is not under the recall. This issue affects more vehicles and the recall needs to be expanded!

STEERING
Steering wheel sticks on the left side especially bad on winding roads but does on straight always as well. You have to constantly move the steering wheel to the right & can physically feel the tug when as it unsticks. You feel it get stuck initially as well & it doesn’t let loose until you steer right. If you don’t then you can’t follow the left wind safely. On winding roads the car moves right of course but with lanes close it creates a very dangerous situation for the driver & other drivers. Who knows if it will not unstick sometime in the future. The car is at 15,000 miles & the issue has been going for about 500-750 miles. No warning lamps. Dealer not notified or inspected yet but will be soon.

STEERING
The steering wheel when above 55 MPH feels sticky. It gets stuck in one position, so as a result you have to exert more pressure to move it, which results in over correction. This keeps on happening throughout the journey, and because you keep on correcting the wheel it feels as the the car is wavering in the lane. I've read online that there are a lot of owners complaining about this issue, some have even crashed. So, I am reporting this out of concern for everyone's safety. PS. Lane keep assist is turned off, but this problem still persists.

STEERING
When driving at or above 40-50 mph, the steering of the vehicle gets "sticky" such that if a particular line, like a curve or bend in the road, is held for more than 1 or 2 seconds, the steering of the vehicle maintains that line and requires stronger force on the steering wheel to break its direction. The steering at all speeds can mimic this, making the steering feel segmented rather than a smooth rotation, but it is more significant at higher speeds. The problem is more noticeable in "sport" steering setting. Unsure if this is a power steering, suspension, or other kind of issue. I have not yet reported this to my car dealership, but it will be at my next service. There are no warnings on the dashboard regarding this issue.

STEERING
The car has 2200 miles on it and the steering started to "stick" while driving at highway speeds. The steering wheel will take extra effort when trying to make adjustments to stay in a lane and you need to apply extra pressure before it feels like it gets past a bump. This is very dangerous as slight direction changes require extra force, then that extra force is all of the sudden not needed, causing over steering. I have looked it up and realized this is a common issue with new civics, so want to make sure my case is documented as well.

STEERING
My steering wheel started to twitch on November 2, 2023. My car has a little over 9,000 miles on it. The LKAS system is not activated when the twitch occurs. I toggled between the different driving modes (Individual, Sport, Normal). I experience the twitch in every mode. I have found it difficult to move the steering wheel from the center position. I have to fight resistance to make steering corrections to keep the car centered in my lane. I am concerned the car will steer itself and cause an accident. I made an appointment with the dealer on November 9, 2023 to troubleshoot the situation. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No faulty indications have been observed on the vehicle's instrument cluster.

STEERING
At high speeds the steering becomes stiff and sticks to one side. It's hard to make small adjustements and when you push too hard to "unstick" the steering wheel the car jerks left and right. This will become a much bigger issue with snowy roads and black ice.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Power steering is sticky at highway speeds resulting in a delayed wheel centering via suspension caster. Does not resist manual input, but makes the vehicle difficult to keep centered in lane due to constant driver inputs to overcome "sticking".

STEERING
At low speed and highway speed steering wheel feels like it’s sticking and won’t return back to center. I would have to make small adjustments to keep the steering wheel straight. Feels like it something with the EPS rack.

STEERING
The vehicles steering wheel began making a slight, motorized, clicking noise several weeks ago. I had taken it into the Honda Dealership it was purchased at and they said they could not locate the issue. The steering wheel is now having a sticky steering wheel while the vehicle is running and in motion. This creates a serious safety concern because I have to over correct steering to push the steering wheel past the point it is stuck at. It usually happens when driving between speeds of 30-60 MPH. This has caused me to overcorrect steering in several instances and the dealership has said they cannot fix the issue. It is a serious issue that puts myself and other drivers at risk due to the fact it is an issue with one of the most basic components of a working vehicle. This problem has been confirmed by several others who have driven my vehicle and upon looking at online blogs, it seems to be a common issue with 2022-2023 Honda Civic models. There have been no warning lights on my vehicle and I have over 19,000 miles on the car. Action absolutely must be taken on this matter because it is a pressing safety issue on one of the most popular vehicles driven in the US. It could cause accidents that would result in death due to mechanical failure of the electronic power steering system. The amount of force applied to the steering wheel to move past the stuck point is large enough to overcorrect the vehicle into oncoming traffic. This issue must be investigated.

STEERING
Electric assist steering feels "sticky" at speed. Unusual resistance is felt when effort is made to make small corrections to keep vehicle centered in lane. Increased effort results in resistance suddenly being released and this leads to unintended swerving. This seems to be a problem with every drive if the vehicle has been driven for more than just a short commute.

STEERING
Car has just over 5000 miles and making minor steering adjustments suddenly requires more force than it should. The amount of force needed to "unstick" the wheel results in constant corrections and potential over-corrections due to the sticking anytime the wheel is not in motion. Issue is most noticeable at highway speeds but even with the car stopped, the wheel has a notchy feel instead of the expected smooth rotation.

STEERING
The steering has become sticky, or notchy, after approximately 14000 miles. It has become difficult to make small adjustments, typically at highway speeds. With the engine shut off but power on the car to disengage the steering lock, the steering wheel clicks through what feels like gears.
