STEERING
My 2023 Civic Touring Hatchback was recalled earlier this year for a EPS issue. I brought it in and they did a very short “inspection” at the dealer and told me I was good to go and there are no issues. Driving home the car didn’t feel different than when i first dropped it maybe an hour before. As time went on the problem (being sticky steering wheel and having to make minor adjustments above 35-40mph) went on as well and has gotten worse to the point where i don’t feel safe driving highway speeds. i have gotten the car checked out elsewhere at 2 different shops and they say all is good mechanically so the problem with the EPS gearbox is still outstanding. 2023 civic touring with 5k miles. This vehicle does not stay in the lane, does not drive straight, and absolutely doesn’t feel safe.

STEERING
The steering wheel is sticky. While making directional corrections while driving, especially at highway speeds, the stickiness of the steering wheel causes you to make jercky movements causing you to over correct your cars path, which causes you to make another correction oversteering in the opposite direction. This process continues indefinitely as you drive.

STEERING, WHEELS, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Steering wheel catches and I have had to replace a strut due to the car wearing out my tire. I have kept proper maintenance and align my wheels regularly. This is a manufacturer defect not yet recalled. I've seen multiple people with this issue claiming it may ve the LKAS system or steering worm or steering component issue. This needs to be recalled as it will cause death in the right circumstances. Honda do better. Your reputation is degrading.

STEERING
The problem I have is with the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) rack on my 2018 Honda Civic Si. My safety is at risk because the EPS rack causes the steering wheel to stick at the 12-o clock position while driving in ambient temperatures above 60F. The vehicle is difficult to keep driving straight, and the sticking causes me to have to jerk the wheel from side to side to overcome the sticky spot. This is a common issue on 10th and 11th Gen Hondas and Acuras. My vehicle has not been inspected yet by Honda as they would charge me to diagnose the issue, or simply deny any problem exists. I am a shadetree/at-home mechanic who has determined this issue from my own research and mechanical knowledge. The symptoms first appeared 1 year ago during the summer after I bought the car.

Steering becomes locked briefly at random times while driving. dealer unable to duplicate but problem is known on Civics 2016>2021 per dealers. no recall nor TSB from Honda. no concern of issue from Honda Tech when dealer contacts about issue. Owner required to pay 100% if wants repair , but replacement steering rack assembly is same as original so sticking problem can occur again . will NHTSA inquire about problem as potential safety concern ?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AC is not cooling. There was a recall last year (2023) for the A/C Compressor Shaft Seal Leak. I got it fixed by the Gardena dealership in California, but the issue has returned. When I turn on the A/C it makes an odd noise almost like a hissing noise. I no longer turn it on.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Honda's 1st letter explained limited availability with the fuel pump recall. The 2nd letter also automated a schedule with an authorized dealer, Norm Reeves Honda of West Covina. Unfortunately, the dealer claimed on 6-5-24 that this part was not available. The dealer was notified a complaint would be submitted to NHTSA.

STEERING
Steering feels rough. When traveling down highway, resistance is felt when trying to make steering adjustments right or left. The pressure required to make adjustments causes the car to weave, as each adjustment right or left requires pressure to overcome resistance. I also have had steering bump against my input going around a corner. This is a dangerous defect and is well documented. Honda should recall these defective electronic steering units.

ENGINE
Lost Transmission fluid cap, don’t turn on any sensor light. I realized only because a friend just replace his. He shared the information I check it was gone. I had to buy a new one at Honda. High risk since temperature is super high in California, potential risk to lose all the transmission oil and brake.

STEERING
When merging over left to right my steering wheel seems to stick like a magnet is pulling it. I've taken it to 2 different shops and they say that "it's the electronic rack and pinion. Nothing to be fixed as this is normal." What I see here is a safety issue because when the steering wheel releases from the "magnet" it makes me feel like over correcting my turn because it pulls hard to whichever direction it's being pulled.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The airbag light comes on sporadically - almost all of the time when it's cold, and then on/off when it is warmer. Throws the code B0001-13 - Open or Increased Resistance in Driver's Airbag Inflator. Brought it to the dealership and they told me that I needed to get the whole driver's side airbag replaced (to the tune of $1300 dollars). With the plethora of recalls surrounding 2000s to 2010s Civics, I have a hard time believing this shouldn't be covered under some sort of recall, especially with the amount of other people online who have experienced the same issue.

Evap system light also comes on at lower temperatures, and sporadically at warmer temperatures. It used to happen only once every couple of weeks, but now it comes on (and eventually turns off again) every day. Throws the codes P0497 - Evaporative Emission System Low Purge Flow and P145C - Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Range/Performance Problem. I've had my purge flow valve replaced, and not even two months later both errors have come back. My mechanic has looked at the car and cannot figure out what's going on, but lots of people online are having the same issue, which makes me think it's not just me.

STEERING
After driving for about 15-20 mins and driving at highway speeds, the steering becomes "sticky" to the point that gentle force meets resistance and more force has to be applied for correction. There is resistance to the wheel that has to be overcome. Standard steering controls. The advanced driving assisted steering is NOT an option on this model. The wheel resists the gentle input at first and greater force has to be issued until enough pressure is exerted and then an over correction happens. This overcorrection has lead to "lane drift" and then has to be corrected AGAIN...and with same sequence....gentle input with locked response then greater force....this has to be done quickly to avoid collision in heavy fast moving traffic which is ALL I drive in. I bought the car certified used 3 years ago while this issue was present but this is a KNOWN issue by you. NO warning lamps.

STEERING
I am experiencing sticky steering wheel. This is a known issue in Honda vehicles. It causes over correcting to right or left at all speeds, but more prominent during highway driving. Many vehicles have been recalled but for some reason my VIn isn’t listed but clearly has a defect in the steering.
