STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
While diving on my first long trip in this vehicle, the steering seems to be hard or sticky when trying to keep the car in the middle of the road. I’m a smaller female and after long trips, it begins to be uncomfortable and I feel like I’m fighting to keep the vehicle in the middle of the road. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they evaluated the problem. They indicated that it was within specifications even without actually driving the vehicle as I had requested. The technician did say that the lane keeping system is causing the issue. It’s always on, so you are fighting it. The tech said Honda should have made it with an off position and that would have solved the issue. My concern is, during the end of a long road trip and being worn down, I may over or under compensate the and crash.

STEERING
Driving on the highway it feels like I lose power steering. The steering wheel is hard to turn. It loosens up eventually. I have asked at the dealership about it. They pretend like they don't know about it. It could cause an accident if i have to make a sudden turn.

STEERING
The steering wheel occasionally gets sticky, especially driving straight for a while. It can be overcome with a little extra force but the steering does not feel smooth because of it. I have not contacted the dealer yet. There are no warning lights or anything. I've got a little over 12k miles on the new car.

STEERING
The following investigations need to be expanded to include 2024 Honda CRVs also. I have experience identical issues. , The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE23-005) to access the alleged defect of momentary increase in steering effort in model years (MY) 2022 and 2023 Honda Civic vehicles. The complaints report that the momentary increase in steering effort (described as Investigation: EA23003 Open Resume Page 2 of 2 "sticky steering") occurs mostly at highway speeds after driving for a certain amount of time.

STEERING
I have been noticing that at speeds above 45 miles per hour the steering wheel feels as if it’s sticking. I would say is that it’s sticky/jumpy and not allowing for a smooth transition. Because of that I notice that when driving straight especially it can cause me to almost tip out of lane because you canot make a small turn since it sticks from one point to the next which is usually much further than your intended turn radius. It was seemingly more noticeable after increased distance of driving and my first truly concerned was on a 90 mile trip down the garden state parkway. I thought it was the road until I read I read about this sticky steering being under investigation.

STEERING
Steering at high speeds snaps or almost feels sticky. This probably has to do with lane keep assist. Even when the feature is turned off, the steering still snaps when slightly turning the steering wheel. Definitely an issue that many, many owners complain about. Probably needs a software update to correct the issue.

STEERING
While driving, in particular on the highway, the steering wheel becomes suddenly stuck in its position. I am able to overcome the stickiness with a mild amount of effort. I currently have 5700 miles on my vehicle and it appears to be getting more noticeable over time. I have a call into the Honda dealer to have this issue addressed. I am waiting for them to call me back. I have received no warning from my vehicle that there is a problem with the steering.

STEERING
The steering sticks and causes an increase in steering effort. Prominent in highway driving and makes it hard to make subtle movements/corrections. Once the issue started, steering wheel play is also not smooth. Took my car to nearest dealer and service manager reproduced the issue. Still waiting to hear back from Honda on resolution.
