ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
my steering wheel stiffens and requires and extra force to move it, causes me to swerve and also causes excessive swerving. I’m afraid of getting in an accident because of it. I am getting it checked soon. Highly annoying and concerning.

•"BREAK SYSTEM" light appeared while driving and is available for inspection. •My risk was high due to the fact of "BRAKE SYSTEM" and "SEE YOUR DEALER" message. •Honda dealership confirmed of a gearbox issue and recommended not to drive it due to the fact that the steering wheel can lock at anytime during driving. •I noticed my steering wheel was very sensative and starting hearing a clicking noise during driving.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
While driving at different speeds, my steering has started sticking, causing over corrections that make it extremely difficult to stay in my lane. The stickiness first appreared early this year with the occasional stickiness and would resolve itself randomly. In the past month, it has significant increased and is now a constant issue which now includes a popping or clicking sound when making slights corrections. There were NO warning lights on my dash to indicate a problem. On my way home from a doctors appt yesterday, the issue became so bad that i couldn’t stay in my lane due to the over corrections. I immediately stopped at the closest dealer and said my car is unsafe to drive and they must look at it. This morning the dealer called to inform me that my power steering rack has failed….In my 2022!!!!!! He also said the Honda care package I bought for issue like this may not even cover this issue!!

STEERING
The steering wheel gets “sticky”. It gets stuck in one place and a lot of force has to be used to turn the wheel. This only happens at higher speeds (highway/freeway) or after approx 30 mins of the car being on. The steering is not smooth, it gets very sticky and really jerky causing me to overcorrect a lot.

STEERING
While driving the vehicle at any speed the steering wheel will get stuck. I have to put some decent pressure on the wheel to make it unstuck, which causes an over-correction. It is scary to drive as it will at times pull me hard to the right or left. I dont feel comfortable driving it as I feel it will pull me into the other lane or off the road. I have taken the vehicle to the Honda dealership today but advised that parts will not be in until October 3rd at the earliest and that leaves me to drive this unsafe vehicle until then.

STEERING
I bought a new 2022 civic touring. As of approximately 3000 miles into driving the vehicle, I noticed steering issues at lower road speeds of 30-45 miles per hour. The steering was "catching" when the steering wheel was oriented at 12 o'clock. I immediately took it to a dealership and demanded they drive the vehicle and I told them the steering rack needed to be replaced. At first they agreed with me that the mechanical rack itself was the problem; however, after further investigation, they discovered the problem was with the Hitachi-made ECU (electronic control unit) with the power steering system. I waited 7 months for this repair. I demanded the dealership foot the bill for my rental car for the duration of this time, and they did. The part was back-ordered because it is Japanese, and assembled in China. It is a relatively advanced semiconductor microchip, hence the wait. The part nomenclature is "Steering Gearbox, Electric Power Steering." I have put 3000 miles on the vehicle since it was repaired, and have not noticed any lingering symptoms of the initial problem. Car steering appears healthy. DEMAND that the repairing party honors the warranty. This is an expensive repair that dealerships do not want to pay for, according to most forums relating to this issue. Therefore, they are waiting for Honda to issue a recall, which will never happen due to the low number of problem cases. Mine is the only case of this repair being done satisfactorily that I have found online. Good luck guys.
