SERVICE BRAKES, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Less than 5,000 miles on car. Brake pedal, when pushing it down, began to vibrate / not go down smoothly. After a couple days of this, my brakes made a loud grinding sound when stopping or releasing the brake. Normally brakes will start to squeak before you reach a grinding sound. Again, less than 5,000 miles on this car, so way too soon to be dealing with this issue. Wiper fluid for the front has NEVER worked, even when full. It works for the back. I asked the techs who changed my oil to check it out and they could not find the issue; they recommended I take it to the dealership and suggested it may be a recall. I am getting it serviced tomorrow at a Honda service repair location near me. They said they will cover it since it is under the 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty. I hope that is true.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The car was parked in a safe location over night. When I attempted to start it in the morning the car ran poorly and displayed numerous warning light on the dash including evap control, brakes, steering, and various automated systems. Upon calling the dealer I was told to it was not safe to drive and to have it towed to the dealer. Which I did.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I have been having issues where the 2022 Honda Civic Sport car will die intermittently at lights. The technician who looked at my car said there was no problem and that I was good to go. The issue has been when stopping at a light, the car engine shuts off and a battery signal light shows up. The other electronics in the car appear to work. Right before the car dies, during breaking it feels like ABS is turning on. The car has to be put into park, turned off, and restarted to get going again. This happens approximately weekly, and it is particularly bad when I am in the middle of an intersection. Component suspected of failing is the engine on off auto at stop. This is a safety issue because car dies in the middle of intersections. The dealer was unable to reproduce; however, it happens on an approximately weekly basis. I took it to Honda and they said they could not reproduce it, the car was “good to go”. Only indication is the battery light indicating

STEERING
Issues with steering wheel at highway speed. The best description would be a “sticky” steering wheel. When trying to correct it, it won’t find the center as if the car needs an alignment. I’ve had this issue before an after an alignment and the dealership isn’t able to identify the problem. The “sticky” steering wheel would also disable my lane keep assist, since the system thinks I’m taking over. This has been DAILY for the past 3 months.

STEERING
While operating the vehicle, the steering wheel sticks or hangs. This happens at all speeds at all times and the issue makes it difficult to drive and very uncomfortable at high speeds. Called Teams Honda dealership and they said they are aware of the issue and no recall has been issued at this time. So basically... just drive it.

STEERING
The cars steering locks, jerking back and forth left to right. When making slight turns at faster speeds it gets stuck making it un sure that it won't turn back to normal position . It will jolt back to the center with continuous jerking. It's a potentially dangerous motion. The drive assist is never on. The car has 12,000 miles started a few thousand ago. It has been inspected by the dealership and a powering steering rack has been ordered. This part is on critical back order till at least July. In hopes this is the correct diagnosis

STEERING
have had my 22 sport for almost a year, just about 18k miles, i noticed about a month ago at higher speeds the steering gets strange. when driving straight and making the little left to right adjustments it feels likes it grabbing and i almost have to fight it to get that small adjustment, best comparison is when u try to change lanes without a blinker and the car tries to keep u in the lane, at first it was only randomly on the highway now it seems to be with all higher speeds, it doesn’t do this at lower speeds. i have turned all assistance off and it doesn’t help.

STEERING
While traveling home on a paved county road, I was approaching an intersection where the current road I was on makes a right hand, 90 degree, turn and comes to a stop sign where the road adjoins another highway. Approximately 350 ft prior to where the road turns right and comes to the stop sign, I turned off my cruise control in preparation of slowing down and navigating the right had turn. At this time, I noticed that I was unable to move my steering wheel in either left or right direction. The steering seemed very stiff or sticky. I focused my attention inside the vehicle, looking for any lights or indications as to what was taking place in an attempt to regain control of the vehicle. I was unable to regain control of the vehicle and the vehicle continued straight, unable to navigate the right turn. While exiting the road, I contacted a right turn arrow sign and proceeded through the grass and down a slight hill. Although the steering was very stiff, I was able to navigate the vehicle slightly right. I came in contact with an embankment at the bottom of the slight hill. This embankment leads up to the highway that I would have been stopping at if I had been able to make the right turn and come to the stop sign. My momentum carried me up the embankment and across the highway. The vehicle finally came to a stop in the ditch on the opposite side of the highway that I had crossed. I'm simply reporting this incident to the NHTSA because I feel there needs to be a sense of awareness brought to this issue. Since my accident, I have read cases of this same occurrence on the '22 and '23 Honda Civics. I suffered injuries in this accident and my car was considered a total loss by my insurance.

STEERING
I've been experiencing steering wheel issues for some time now. I've had to go to the honda service center multiple times and they could not figure out what the issue was. They had told me that it was because my lane assist was ON but I had it off and I never use my lane assist feature. My steering wheel felt stiff while I was on the highway and felt resistance when turning my steering wheel and this would only happen while I was on the highway and not when I was driving local. I've gone to the service center 3 times within 2 weeks because they could not fix the issue so I had to keep going back. If the steering wheel is stiff or "locked", it would not only endanger me, the driver but other people driving on the highway.

STEERING
It feels like a EPS malfunction. Will take more effort than usual to steer. For lack of better words it feels like "sticky steering". Started to feel this at 10,000 miles approx. As soon as you catch some speed, you can start feeling the malfunction.
