STEERING
Sterring is sticking. Worse when turning and at higher speeds. Also sticks when driving straight. You have to drive it for a few miles before it starts doing it.

After about an hour of highway driving the steering becomes sticky or notchy feeling. This is both with lane keep assist on and off. It can be hard to keep the vehicle moving in a straight line at highway speeds.

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

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Cruise control disengages then slows down very quickly, then will not reengage. You have to keep pulling over and restarting the car for the system to come back on line. It's random and keeps happening.

STEERING
Particularly when traveling at highway speeds, steering wheel feels sticky or stiff. This makes it hard to make subtle steering changes, as extra force is required to adjust direction, so car jerks one direction or another. This feels very unsafe, and does not give me confidence that I am in full control of my vehicle at high speeds, especially when traveling on congested highways. I did not experience this when I first purchased the car approximately 12 months ago. I would say the issue began about 2-3 months ago. There have been no warning signs or anything else.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
1700 miles In the odo . Steering feels as if it gets stuck on high way speeds . Having to force it to keep the steering in the center . Definitely not normal . Started noticing it about 1500 on the odo only getting worse. Almost feels like the car is not aligned . Properly . Brand new car not staying straight is a concern of steering rack issues . Common for this car . Scared to report it to dealer they are only going to submit papers and say is completely Normal . Waste of time . This should be a recall

STEERING
While driving at about 60 mi/hr my car veered suddenly to the right and the power steering seemed to not work. The steering required vigorous correcting to maintain vehicle control.This continued for several minutes and it felt like the power steering was not working.when I finally stopped the car in a parking area I got out and checked the tires. Originally It had felt like one of my tires going flat. I turned off the engine and when my tire were checked they were fine.This happened on 1/25/23. When I restarted my car it ran normally after that. On 1/27/23 I took my car for inspection to a dealership for inspection. They could not identify any problem and my car was ok since 1/25.Nothing was fixed but I stressed that they begin recording my initial and any future complaints.

STEERING
Steering wheel seems to get stiff and lock into center at highway speeds, causing to push hard on steering wheel to do minor corrections, car feels incredibly unsafe at highway speeds constantly having to fight the steering wheel. Many other drivers have this issue in forums. Dealer says they don’t know how to fix that.
