STEERING
Steering has become jerky/sticky. It no longer feels safe to drive, and most of my time on the road is focused on staying in my lane without jerking the car left or right. Please help us fix this. I know I'm not the only one.

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The Steering feels very sticky after 17k miles and it’s getting worse, it occurs typically during highway speeds, also the lane assist feature is affected greatly by this as it does not work due to the steering having this “sticky” feel to it. moderate to overcorrection of the steering wheel is required while operating the vehicle, this has caused constant swaying putting not only myself at risk but others especially while commuting daily. I feel as though my safety is at dire risk. Dealerships are no help as they say nothing can be done unless a code is popping up, but anyone in the car world knows that steering problems do not Have a particular code of warning. Please investigate the matter ASAP as this could cause a serious life risk

STEERING
The steering has an issue with "sticking." When driving, I constantly feel little "jerks" as if the steering wants to correct itself, prompting me to constantly re-correct. The jerks are relatively small and so I haven't been worried about safety, but after dealing with this for many months and hoping it would go away (it hasn't) I'm finally registering this issue.

The steering is sticky. It feels very unsafe when the car pulls to the left and right and you have to forcibly pull the wheel in the opposite direction.

STEERING
I HAVE A 2022 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN. ESTIMATED MILEAGE IS AROUND 36K. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE SHOP AROUND 32K, AND REPORTED THAT THE STEERING IS STICKY AND WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, IT LIKE LOCKS AND YOU HAVE TO JERK THE THE WHEEL TO GET IT. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE, AND MAKING THE STEERING UNMANAGEABLE AT TIMES. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE CAR THROWS A CODE. THIS IS A STEERING ISSUE, I DO NOT THINK THAT IT WILL THROW A CODE. I HAVE CHILDREN, AND WE ARE STARTING TO FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS CAR. I NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED, AND SINCE THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT WILLING TO HELP ME, I CAM TO NHTSA. I FOLLOW AN ONLINE FORUM FOR 11TH GENERATION HONDA CIVIC AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT STICKY STEERING IN THESE CARS, BUT NO ONE IS ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. ALSO, WE FOUND THAT MIGLIACCIO & RATHOD LLP IS CURRENLTY INVESTIGATING THE 2022 HONDA CIVIC STEERING DEFECT. THEY SAY THAT 2022 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS REPORT THAT THE STEERING IN THEIR VEHICLES FEELS STICKY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL, EVEN IN CITY DRIVING. CAN NHTSA PLEASE HELP US IN GETTING THIS ISSUE FIXED. WE PAY FOR THESE BRAND NEW CARS NOT TO HAVE DEFECTS THAT THE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT FIX. LIKE I SAID, I HAVE CHILDREN, AND IT IS GETTING UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

STEERING
DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM: At highway speeds (above 55 mph) the steering gets seems to stick or catch. When driving straight and making the little left to right adjustments it feels likes it grabbing and I have to tug it to get that small adjustment. It feels as though the Electronic Steering Control is failing or the rack is damage. The car has not been in an accident. HOW IS THIS A HAZARD: Tugging on the wheel at highway speeds causes me to over correct which could send me into the path of another vehicle. REPRODUCED BY OTHERS: There are dozens of owners that have reported this problem on the Civic Owners Social media platform. https://www.civic11forum.com/threads/steering.1894/ DEALER CONTACT Local dealer claims nothing reported. No known recall for item. WARNINGS: There are no warning lights or messages indicating an electronic malfunction. The contact stated that the dealership told them that the parts were not expected to be available for another 5 months. The contact was given a loaner car. The contact offered to trade that vehicle in but was not given a good deal. The contact decided to take back the defective vehicle and buy a new one elsewhere.

STEERING
Occasional unusual resistance in steering wheel, leading to moderate over-corrections. There is often resistance to moving the wheel from center, and when the resistance releases, the wheel moves more than what was desired, leading to over-correction. This causes swerving and is a hazard.

When driving straight, especially on the highway, the steering feels “sticky” or “notchy” especially from 50 - 75 mph. This makes it really hard to keep the vehicle straight on the highway.

STEERING
“Sticky” sensation/feedback when making minor correction to steering on highways/speeds greater than about 40mph. Needing to make slight corrections to stay in lane the steering requires extra force to “unstick” the steering wheel causing an over-correction. This posses potential safety issue to driver, passengers, and other motorists in the road. Began a few months after purchasing the vehicle in November 2021 and has been an issue ever since.

STEERING
At approximately 23k miles while driving to work on the highway, I felt like my car’s power steering kept getting stuck and I had to constantly try to re-steer my vehicle to keep it driving in a straight line. At first I didnt think much of the issue but now my car has 26k miles and the issue is getting worse. The steering seems to be sticking well driving in a straight line, and as you pull on the wheel, it will suddenly almost feel like it’s clicking then move. This is extremely unsafe and I have noticed that this same issue has been reported by hundreds of Honda Civic owners. At the moment there is not a recall for this but I hope it that Honda takes action ASAP. I have yet to take my car to the dealership but I have made an appointment to take it to the dealership this upcoming week.

STEERING
Steering is very notchy when turning from neutral position. When driving at highway speeds extra effort is required to turn either right or left from the neutral position. The steering is not operating smoothly it is as if it was binding during any turn. The steering requires more force than normal to initiate the turn. It appears to be getting worse over time and has been this way since purchasing new in 04/22.

STEERING
After a short time driving close to highway speeds (50+) the steering becomes jerky/sticky. Extra effort is required to make small adjustments in direction making it difficult to maintain the car in the center of the lane. No warning lights or messages appear. I have not taken the car to the dealer yet. Multiple people on the civic11forum.com are reporting the same issue.

LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The car was attempting to correct itself even when I was in the middle of the lane. Switching lanes often caused this as well. On multiple occasions it attempted to over correct me into other drivers and at high speeds this could have killed me if I was not paying attention. Upon informing the dealership they asked “what do you want us to do”. Upon informing Honda corporate they said they would make note and send it to engineers with no direct action taken

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, SERVICE BRAKES
On Friday January 27th, I was driving approximately 65mph when the steering wheel got stuck to the right, causing me to run off the road. I hit a rut where the road meets the grass and it caused a couple of my wheel weights to fall off. Initially the lane keep was on, but I turned it off as it started pulling to the right. The car still proceeded to pull continuously until I cut it off, and then started to appear to work normally for a short period afterwards. The steering wheel already sticks in the center on most days. Now, there’s issues stopping, I’m guessing from the rut I hit. The dealer that I bought it from swears that there’s nothing wrong with the vehicle and that I’m just a difficult customer. I’ve already had it up to the dealership 5 times. There’s 88 other people already who agree with me. I have a case with American Honda Corporate, but they only agree with what the dealer tells them. This poses a major safety hazard, and it needs to be recalled before someone gets killed.

SERVICE BRAKES, SEATS, STEERING
Brakes are relatively hard to press and bring the car to stop, the pedal is also located high, and as an Uber driver it makes it difficult to brake constantly. I am getting knee pain and foot pain. Driver seat is very uncomfortable specially when driving for too long. It doesn't have lumbar support and is giving me lower back pain, my back compresses down and collapses into the section where there's no lumbar support. I feel like my disk is getting hurt. The seat is built in an angel. if I bring the seat low, my last bone of spine goes into the seat and hurts. if I bring the seat high, I get hip pain. The steering is somehow stiff to rotate even with lane departure being turned off. I am getting finger joint pain and elbow pain.

STEERING
The steering wheel has been sticky while operating the vehicle. The mechanics at Honda continue to state they see no issues with the car however the steering wheel locks and becomes difficult to maneuver while driving on roads and highways . The car system shows all operations are performing perfect. However while driving it’s stiff and difficult to make driving adjustments safely
