After engine has warmed up, at around 40mph or faster, when the car is going straight and a slight adjustment needs to be made to the steering to bring the car back into line, there is a sticky click as the steering wheel turns about half a cm. It is a feeling in the steering that is not like the smooth, slight movement that should be felt. This can also be felt on slight curves as you make an adjustment in steering. The wheel sticks a bit and then seems to jump instead of just gliding the half cm turn it needs to make. I began feeling this about 3,000 miles ago, and my car currently is at 26,000 miles.

The steering wheel jerks at highway speeds. It has been to the dealer for steering rack recall from Honda and they said the part number did not qualify for replacement. All systems checked out as working properly. The problem still exists. New tires have been placed on the vehicle and the steering problem still exists. The dealer has been of no help in resolving this issue. Attached is the service receipt and the day they checked the recall for the vehicle.

While driving between 40-75 mph, steering feels sticky. If driving on a straight road, deviations between 11 and 1 (like on a clock) cause the wheel to “stick” in place and needs extra effort to steer the car. Typically only happens during colder weather. Had no problems during the summer. I have also tested this by driving on curved roads and I’ve gone around the 120-140 degree turns without needing to hold on to the wheel, and with no driving assists turned on at all. I’ve had this issue for most of the cooler weather time, from late October 2023 to December 2023 (current). Also had the issue during the 2022 winter season. Lasted for about 2 months and went away. Now issue is back and clearly an issue amongst a lot of Civic owners (Reddit threads prove this).

I got a new alternator because I thought it was draining the battery. A few weeks later I didn’t drive my car for 3 days and the engine would not start but all the lights would turn on. I got it jumped and took it the dealership and they still don’t know what is wrong with it. This is the 4th time this has happened and I changed the battery every time.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V652000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic).

After driving for a while at highway speeds, the steering wheel becomes stiff, or “sticks,” making it difficult to make minor corrections. This can cause an over correction to get the steering wheel “unstuck,” causing the vehicle to swerve. Have not taken it to a dealer yet, but did call them and they have not heard of this issue. There are no warnings or other symptoms of the problem. This issue first appeared at about 12,000 miles.

Driving down the road sunny, dry roads, no vehicles around, car starts flashing brake and slams on break has happened 3 or 4 times. Also, Diver assist warning lights keep coming on with radar obstructed. Honda please do something about this before someone gets hurt. I am a single mother and loved this car until recently. I don't have the money to pay the dealership to run diagnostics and lie and say they don't know what's wrong because they cant make it happen again.

There has always been intermittent noise related to steering, like a part needing oil, without a steering problem until now. Now, steering is sticking for sure. Entire family noticed it separately after driving. I googled, and immediately found your investigation site. Affects me staying in my lane.

The steering wheel "sticks" when I am driving straight down a road, at both high and low speeds. It is more noticeable at high speeds.
