STEERING
My steering rack has failed twice now, I purchased the car in August of 2021 and I have had a rental for over 7 months now combined. They are quoting July for the new part, likely replacing it with the same part that will fail again. Issues include: "sticky" steering wheel. Making it difficult to drive at low speeds, it is a safety concern not being able to make micro adjustments. Sometimes it pretty much locks and takes 2-3 lbs of pressure to "break" it free. It doesn't sound like much but when you're doing 70+ on the interstate it is incredibly dangerous. The first time it failed I was below 15k miles, then second time was right around 30k miles. The dealer has acknowledged the issue both times but has failed to replace it with a non-defective part.

STEERING
While driving the car, I am experiencing a sticky steering wheel. it happens a low speeds but is more noticeable at highway speeds. The wheel sticks and when slightly turning it is causing me to over correct my steering. I have to be very quick because the car wants to jump into the other lane very quick. Then then going around larger curves, the steering wheel sticks and does not naturally rebound, again causing me to overcorrect. serious safety concern.

STEERING
The steering is locking up/sticking when driving. Tends to get worse when speed gets up to about 40mph. This problem has been going on for quite some time just not been as bad as it is now. It is now unsafe to drive. Last drove it on the highway and the wheel kept locking up and car was heading off the road. Did not wreck but do not feel safe driving it now. I have brought it to the dealer ship when it was still in warranty and the dealership said it needed an alignment which did not fix the problem. No warning lights that there was a problem. Now that the car is out of warranty the dealership says The power steering rack needs to be replaced. Problem is they are on a national back order and there is no recall out yet so I am without a car until who knows when.

STEERING
So i been experiencing my steering issues since the date i purchased my vehicle. I have brought my car in multiple times and the dealer has told me there is no issue with it. But for the last time i went to go get my oil change done and i told the service advisor again about the issue and they had me drive with someone in the car and once that person drove with me he noticed the issue right away. The issue was a bad steering rack and i already put 12000 miles on the car and it’s been like this since 0 miles and it was very dangerous to drive. Well driving my steering would not go around loops or turns very well it will get stuck which almost got me in accidents multiple times. And now i am without a car for 4 months waiting for a steering rack which is really ridiculous. This is a safety issue which could have led to serious injury or death. It is ridiculous because i took my car multiple times and they did nothing until i told multiple times there is an issue with my car. My safety and other family members that drove my car could of be really in danger because of this.

STEERING
The steering in my car is sticking/tightening during any speed over 45 miles an hour. At low speeds around 30 miles an hour there are not issues. It feels as though something is pulling on the steering wheel. It seems to only be noticable during warmer time frames. I had my car inspected at a Honda dealership and they did an alignment and assured me that they did not find any issues. I've brought it up on a few occasions and nothing has been done for it. I haven't seen any indication of an error or warning light.

Steering wheel is sticking/notching while driving. Occurs the most when the outside temperature is hot ~80 degrees or more. Most noticeable at highway speeds.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I purchased a 2022 Civic Sports brand new, in 11/21, and it recently broke down; it is less than two years old and has 14,216 miles. The engine failed, and it broke down in the middle of the highway, and luckily I was able to pull over to safety before being hit by a car. Oil and anti-freeze were leaking out of the vehicle. I called Honda roadside assistance, and the tow driver stated that this was a brand-new car, and it sounded like the rods and engine were knocking. It was towed to a dealership, and they told me it was a metal piece in the machine the technician found. It was a manufacturing defect, and then when I inquired more because I felt replacing an engine on a new car was insufficient because of component issues that could be affected due to the damage. I purchased a new vehicle for the peace of mind. I also purchased during the time of covid and the car shortage. The car was fresh from the manufacturer, and I had to pay extra due to the need. The car was maintained with oil and maintenance from the Honda dealership I purchased the car from. I did not see a recall for my vehicle, and there were no warnings. I had to car services a month and a half before. I have asked for something in writing to see the metal piece, but the dealership is refusing, and they are trying to cover this issue up by issuing a quick fix with an engine.

STEERING
I also am having the sticky steering problem I have to overcorrect it gets stuck. It looks like I’m swerving and is extremely dangerous. It’s not covered under warranty and it’s a $2000 part on top of a 480 car payment a month for some thing is supposed to be a brand new save car Honda needs to be held responsible they’re still making these cars they’re still selling them they’re not recalling or offering to help or even letting other people know I drive for a living. This is a death trap. I am terrified to be in my car at all and any time. I am literally traumatized by this by the fact that I cannot fix it who has an extra $2000 laying around to fix a brand new car that’s less than a year old Honda needs to be held responsible for this negligence before more people get hurt more cars are total and more people are terrified. This is completely unacceptable. You keep hearing all these helpful Honda commercials no, how about you help the people that actually buy your cars that need help

STEERING
About 6 months after I purchased this car in early 2022, the steering wheel began to get stuck when turning and curving with roadways. I took my car to the Honda dealership and was turned away several times due to them not knowing what was wrong. As of today, May 2023 the steering wheel getting stuck is worsening to the point where I am concerned for my safety.
