STEERING
When driving at highway speeds in this car the steering becomes "sticky". You have to correct it to make the wheel go back to the center position which can cause you to over correct and cause a wreck. Car has less then 10k miles and with this issue makes me feel unsafe to drive it. Honda does not want to help at all.

STEERING
Steering wheel seems to be binding at highway speeds. When standing still the steering wheel also cluncks loudly when slightly turning. Making corrections at highway speed becomes extremely dangerous as the steering wheel will unbind and cause the car to over correct.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
While driving my car on the open highway, I noticed that the steering wheel became somewhat sticky and resistant. This started in September of 2022 and the problem has become increasingly worse. The steering wheel requires excessive force to turn at speeds above 40mph, making micro-adjustments to the steering very difficult and causes oversteering. If there is a bend in the road and I turn the steering wheel, it sticks when trying to straighten the wheel out. It requires additional force to break the sticking point and get the car straightened back out. The safety concern is related to the straightening back out, in some cases it takes considerable effort and requires control to not over power into crossing the line of the lane. I also have concerns of a lock up and causing an accident that could harm me as well as others. Currently, I am not driving my new car due to the fear of an accident. There are zero warnings appears when this happens, so there is no way to prepare for it. I have contacted my local Honda dealership as well as America Honda (corporate office) to complain about this issue. The dealership informed me that the steering rack needs to be replaced. Honda is not able to provide an ETA on the part, nor are they willing to provide a loaner car. Honda told us that we could pick the car back up and continue to drive it until it is repaired. Honda is not concerned about the danger to customers. Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is pulling info together to file a class action lawsuit since this issue is happening to so many Honda Civic owners. It should not take someone dying for Honda to resolve this issue with no expense to the customer. We are currently making payments on a new Honda that my son is scared to drive. https://lemonexpert.com/vehicle-bulletins/2022-honda-civic-steering-system-defects/. https://classlawdc.com/2022/12/08/2022-honda-civic-steering-defect/ https://www.carproblemzoo.com/honda/civic/2022/steering-problems.php

STEERING
Lack of control when steering once the car warms up. If I turn the wheel to make small corrections it feels like someone is grabbing the wheel and jerking it. Scarier when my kid is in the car with me. It started at about 18k miles. I don’t notice it at all when temps are below freezing. I brought it up to the dealership service department and they said they’ve heard the complaint numerous times, but there is no known fix yet. Please, Honda, address this. This is obviously a major issue with an otherwise good car.

Sticky steering. It is hard to keep the steering wheel straight as it sticks while the steering wheel is still. We have had it to the dealer already. It’s extremely hard to drive the vehicle as it constantly sticks.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
The week of February 26, 2023 I was sitting at the traffic light and when I went to press the gas the car wouldn't move and it shut off. So it appears that the auto start stop did not re-engage. I had to put on my blinkers so that traffic could go around me. I pressed some buttons and it finally started up after a minute or so. Pretty alarming considering that I only had the car for 2 months and it's a brand new 2023. Also, on 3/6 I went to start my car and it wouldn't start. It asked me to place my key fob on the start stop button. Then the car started. I took it to the dealer and they can't find anything wrong and that's even more scarier. Also, the car seems to gas up when it's in park and I have my foot on the brake but no one can explain what's going on with my brand new car.
