STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
I’ve been having issues few months after I bought the car from Honda dealership. I took it back and forth to them and they said there was an issue but did nothing. The recalls about the steering came up and I don’t feel safe driving the car but last week I took it and they said there was nothing wrong. Steering is sticky. I’m all over the road having to make corrections 90% of the time I’m driving. Without the lane assist it does it. With the lane assist on the car won’t even stay straight due to the problem. its very unsafe & aggravating to own a car paying so much a month for a newer car and with issues. An alignment was done and the steering wheel cannot be put straight even. It’s definitely a safety problem. Honda wants to do nothing about it due to parts and labor being $2800 and change and they’d be losing money it’s my thought. Thinking about doing lemon law because it’s very unsafe to drive the car and it’s rare when the car shows no problem at all. I shouldn’t have to make corrections the whole time I’m driving.

STEERING
On my 2023 Honda civic sport the steering wheel is sticking specially during freeways speeds. I took the vehicle to Stockton Honda in Stockton Ca . According to the tech he was unable to reproduce the sticky steering wheel. (To be noted the car had the same miles as when I dropped it off at Stockton Honda ) this vehicle is unsafe for me to drive.

STEERING
At highway speeds there starts a sticky sensation in the steering. If I’m holding the steering to the left it also feels like it sticks and fails to come back to the middle, but if I apply a little pressure it loosens immediately.

STEERING
I just hit 30k miles on my civic. And I started noticing the sticky steering. It feels like the steering wheel gets stuck. This is a headache for all 11th gen civic owners. REPLACING THE STEERING RACK DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WE NEED A LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA!!!!!!!!

STEERING
Having issues where the steering is sticking on my 2023 Honda Civic. When I'm at speeds of 40 MPH and above and I attempt to make minor steering adjustments the steering begins to stick. It takes a greater amount of force to move the steering wheel and often results in an overcorrection within the steering. Have not taken to the dealer yet as I've heard there is no immediate fix other than replacing the steering rack with the same faulty one. There have been no warning lights of any kind.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
When driving at mainly 35MHP+ the steering has a “catch” to it. They refer to this as “sticky steering”. Took the car into the Honda dealership and they confirmed the issue. Parts are on back order with no ETA available. This problem has been ongoing for months now and still nothing is being done about it.

STEERING
The issue typically occurs at highway speeds. When driving the steering wheel becomes very difficult to turn and binding or jerking when making minor corrections. Sometimes needing a lot of force to jerk the wheel back after it sticks. When making adjustments at cruising speeds, the steering wheel at times is difficult to turn away from the 12 o’clock position. Though no one has been injured at this time, there is serious concern that this issue could cause steering overcorrection resulting in a crash especially for my 17 year old daughter.

STEERING
The beginning of November 2023 while driving on the interstate, I started to notice difficulty keeping the car in the lane from side to side in the lane with minimal adjustment to the steering wheel. When I return from my trip I brought it to Honda dealership to have it looked at. They said they couldn’t duplicate the issue that was it about 17,000 miles now I’m at 19,000 miles. The issue is getting worse today while driving on the interstate I barely touched the wheel to correct it to stay in the lane And it pulled to the left causing me to have to pull on the wheel to the right to keep it in the lane. I was not using any of the lane keeping assist safety features. This tends to be worse at higher speeds which is why the dealership says that they can’t duplicate the issue you have to get on the interstate with the car. It is noticeable, but not as bad driving around town.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electronic power steering system in the Honda Civic is failing. Steering wheel frequently “sticks” causing the driver to oversteer, in order to “unstick” the power steering mechanism. Power steering is notchy and sticky feeling, increasing in persistence. The vehicle feels unstable, thus unsafe for continued driving.
