VISIBILITY/WIPER
Height: 5-7 - 5-8 whether condition: moderate rain Road: driving highway I was driving between 50 - 57 MPH on the highway with the wiper on. The water from the front windshield traversed back to both sides of the Driver & passenger front windows in a strong gulf of stream, that blocked the visibility of both sides of the front drive & passenger windows. I could not see at all from both of the driver and passenger side view mirrors at all. This is potential safety hazardous while driving in the rain, and cannot see through both sides of the side view mirrors. This was very impactful in loss of visibility even on this experience. I am genuinely afraid for my safety as this rainy season ensues. This is incredibly dangerous and could cause an accident or possibly death.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Recently I saw the Collision mitigation Breaking system problem and Adaptive cruise control system problem in my car. Honda has not resolved this issue, so taking it to the dealer will not resolve the issue and it is a safety issue because without any reason at any speed the car can abruptly stop and cause accidents. I asked the Honda dealer if they can disable this function and they said they can’t disable it. That is why I don’t feel safe driving this car.

STEERING
On 2/18/2022, having the car around 36,500 miles, the steering wheel started "sticking" when making minor adjustments while driving on the highway, with no warning lights or anything abnormal. At slower speeds it's unnoticeable, but at highway speeds the steering wheel jerks while I am turning it to follow a curve in my lane. I took it to the shop to get the wheels aligned and inflated the tires to the recommended air pressure, but there was no improvement whatsoever. It feels like the problem is getting worse, and now it feels unsafe to drive. I took it to the Honda Service Center in San Marcos, TX, and they told me they need to replace the whole steering rack, being the estimated repair $3,000. They also told me they were going to research if there was any possibility that Honda would take care of "part of the cost of the repair", because "they usually don't find this kind of problem, especially not in new cars".

STEERING
The steering wheel begins to stick after driving about 30 minutes. I will try to turn slightly to the left or right and it will get stuck. I have to add more force until it finally releases and I am able to turn. It become very dangerous when I drive on the highway and my steering wheel feels like it locks for a second. There has been no warning lamps or message and it has happened for the last 4,000 miles

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Twice now when driving on the highway using cruise control my vehicle has unexpectedly applied the brake hard for no apparent reason. There were not vehicles ahead of me that were stopping/slowing. The warning "brake" comes across the dashboard. This potentially could cause a safety issue if someone were to rear-end me when the brakes were applied suddenly and hard. I am in the process of contacting the dealer to have the issue addressed.

STEERING
2022 Honda Civic experiencing a "sticky" steering or a slight jerking feeling causing the vehicle to veer off to the left or right making it difficult to stay in the lane especially at higher speeds on the highway. This occurs at all speeds with or without all safety features enabled. Also, a popping noise when turning the steering wheel. This is a very unsafe feeling while driving the vehicle. The local Honda dealership was unable to repair the vehicle today while in the shop. Honda cooperate needs to find a fix before a person or persons are killed.

STEERING
While driving on freeway the steering wheel feels sticky and gives resistance. Car constantly veers to left and to the right. Spend most of my time focused on keeping car centered and when making the adjustment it's not smooth. It's jerky and feels like something is binding it. We drove 35 miles to our nearby Costco and I had to correct steering wheel 29 times to keep it centered. It's exhausting and worry that we could go into the next lane or off the road if gets worse. We took it to the dealer yesterday 2/17/23 to check on this problem our odometer was at 21,995. Was told technician was not able to duplicate our concern and when they put it on their equipment for testing, no codes came up and that nothing can be done unless codes come up when they do their testing. No warning lamps or messages have come up. My husband believes that this problem started sometime in January of this year 2023. The vehicle is about 1 year old and the steering didn't feel like this the first year after we purchased it.

STEERING
2022 Honda Civic - Steering Issue This issue began around ~6,000 miles; the vehicle started providing a sticking and notchy feedback during mid-turns. This issue is most notable during speeds of 45mph. or faster. During a turn, the steering wheel stays locked in the position and requires additional steering correction to reset the angle. This is a driving hazard as the additional feedback required from the driver can cause overcorrection, causing the vehicle to exit its lane. Additionally, at low speeds, while the steering is in full lock (reverse and forward), the steering rack seems to make knocking/ticking sounds. The vehicle currently has ~13,000 miles and this issue has remained persistent since first observation. This issue was reported to a local Honda dealership on February 18, 2023 during a routine maintenance service.

STEERING
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 65-70 MPH, the steering wheel was significantly resistant, causing the vehicle to move from one side of the lane to the other. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while making minor adjustments to the steering wheel. The contact stated that the steering wheel would respond as needed after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who test drove the vehicle and informed the contact to turn off the Lane Keep Assist feature. The contact turned off the Lane Keep Assist feature; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the failure was more noticeable while driving at high speeds. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
The vehicle exhibits an unmistakable thump noise when going over a speed bump or while typically driving at low speeds over cracks in any road surface. Naturally took the vehicle into the authorized dealer, technicians instantly replaced the sway bar links, However the thumping noise from the front end over bumps is still present. A noticeable "creaking" noise can also be heard from the front end when accelerating and at low speeds.

STEERING
Starting at about 5,000 miles I have experienced a problem of "sticky", "notchy" steering when traveling at highway speeds once the car is warmed up. Lately, I have also experienced sticky steering at lower speeds, but not usually before the car warms up. I took the car to my dealership service department on January 23, 2023. I was advised in writing that this is a known issue and that a Honda engineer is looking in to the issue. I have seen hundreds of fellow 2022 Honda Civic owners reporting the same exact symptoms on the 11th generation Civic forum. I feel like there is no way that driving the car with this defect is safe or as safe as driving a car with steering that works correctly.

STEERING
Steering sticks when going highway speeds. Makes it difficult to make slight adjustments. Have to apply excessive force to make it break free causing the car to over steer in most cases and swerve.

STEERING
The steering sticks all the time. It seems the feature that allows the car to stay in the lane continues to be activated even though it is deactivated. This is a serious safety issues. When you are driving at high speeds and the steering sticks it causes the car to jerk when you have to put more force into turning the steering wheel. This issue is all over the internet and on Civic forums. It needs to be addressed immediately.

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
I purchased my 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport in November of 2021. I currently have 7,000 miles on my vehicle. 2 months ago, I noticed a slight sticky feeling with my steering wheel. This almost feels like I am in a constant rut and having to make slight but hard pulls at the steering wheel to make any small adjustment. This occurs when I am going roughly 40 miles per hour or higher. At first, it felt like my LKA was on but when I saw that it wasn’t it brought concern. I had a moment a couple of weeks ago where my steering wheel almost ran my husband and I into the right lane. I am worried since there have been multiple reports of others having this same issue and it got worse. I also had a moment on December 31st, 2022 where my car was put into adaptive cruise control around 70 mph and was shut off suddenly. I was not given the option to reengage the cruise control until after my car was turned off and on again. My car is currently at the dealership for these issues as we speak and my technician has said they don’t feel what I am talking about. This has made me feel unsafe to drive my vehicle and hope this complaint can join the others and help Honda send out a recall for this issue. 169 complaints about that same thing on here is a big deal. So is the thousands of Reddit threads I have found stating this same problem. Please Honda, do better and call this in or unfortunately you will be met with a lot of lawsuits I am afraid.
