ENGINE
Honda put out a warranty extension of ten years for certain Civic models for a known casting issue that led to a cracked engine block. Rather than issuing a recall, they settled some law suits and did a warranty extension. I recently purchased a 2007 Civic from a relative who was unaware of the warranty extension. The car is five years passed the warranty expiration and Honda will do nothing to assist with this very well known issue! I find it completely unfair and unprofessional of Honda to offer no assistance for an issue they admitted full fault to! I now have a cracked engine block and no help from the once reliable auto dealer. I would be more understanding if this wasn't an issue that causes catastrophic failure, but this is unacceptable. I firmly believe that Honda should issue a recall for the known issues and resolve them in a responsible manner.

STEERING
The steering wheel "sticks" a little when driving at highway speeds. This is when lane keep assist is turned OFF. As far as I can tell this mostly happens when I'm going in a straight line. It can be unstuck fairly easily by applying pressure to turn, but something is clearly off.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
one day after approximately 11k miles of use, the sterring began to bind. Sticking mainly to the center, at first it wasn't very drastic. A little extra effort & you were able to mussel through it. The more you drive it ghe worse it gets. It got to an unmanageable point with the lane assit on, as the car fights itself. this started approximately 3 & half weeks ago. Its getting worse. Had an appointment at tge dealer 2 weeks ago, yesterday there was a release date for my steering rack of January 1, mabye. It gets worse w speed.

STEERING
While driving my 2022 Civic at freeway speeds beginning to notice steering wheel isn’t responding as smoothly as normal. Car tends to drift in lane and when you correct steering wheel sticks and feels similar to the lane keeping assistance even though it is turned off. Seems to be getting more noticeable and steering isn’t as responsive

STEERING
At highway speeds, the steering wheel will stick a few degrees from center on either side when allowing the wheel to return to its neutral position. When making minor adjustments while travelling straight, the wheel will give increased resistance at the points mentioned above. This can be possibly dangerous if a driver assumes the wheel will behave normally when completing a turn or overcompensating during minor adjustments. This can be especially true during inclement weather conditions where minor adjustments or wheel sticking may affect the driver's ability to correct an otherwise avoidable traction related incident.

STEERING
When driving at higher speeds on the freeway my steering becomes resistant. Causing over correcting. One day when it was very windy driving to work after over correction I blew into the other lane, luckily no one was close enough. Driving on the freeway for long periods of time causes hand cramps from the amount of grip it requires to keep it center lane. This is a safety issue. I have taken it to Honda on 3 separate occasions for the same issue and every time they say there is nothing wrong.

STEERING
Car wanders, and when moving the wheel slightly in either direction it will stay in that direction and not return to the center without help. The wheel also sticks to the center and requires a bit more force to move occasionally.

POWER TRAIN
There is no dipstick to check transmission fluid level. My car with no warning light or check engine light lost acceleration and had almost close to stop. Thank god I wan’t on highway. Upon taking i into mechanic they said a screw was loose and transmission fluid was leaking. It ha happened to me twice. The problem has not been confirmed by dealer. Transmission fluid can neither be measured nor condition of transmission fluid can be seen without dipstick. Very importantly there is no warning light for it.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
While driving the 2022 Civic sport there is a noticeable stickiness to the steering almost as if the wheel will look up while trying to drive straight and pull the car to different sides of the road. It originally was while driving straight mainly highway miles. Now it’s becoming noticeable during day to day driving and turning. This is very unsafe considering the car can turn and steering wheel will not allow the driver to automatically correct because it is locked up. Around 5000 miles the steering wheel will begin having a loose change noise when turning to the left behind the horn, around 10,000 miles the steering wheel will begin locking up and not allowing the driver to correct it and will pull the car to different sides of the road. If you go to the dealership everyone pretends like it’s unreal but check any forum and 1000s of people are experiencing these problems with 2022 Civics
