ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
The head gasket was failing and the spark plugs were enduring spark blowout and the car was misfiring occasionally I tried entering the highway and as I was merging to the highway and getting up to speed the car suddenly starting flashing the check engine light and wouldn’t accelerate anymore when I gave it gas as I was entering the highway and a big truck towing vehicles was coming so I had to get to the emergency lane and stop the vehicle and the trucker had to slam on his brakes When my car was supposed to accelerate it completely shut down and started slowing down.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic SI. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (STEERING); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel independently veered to the right. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that a diagnostic test was needed before the recall repair could be performed. The failure mileage was unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.

What sense does it make to issue recalls on cars and then there are no parts available to repair the vehicle. When you contact manufacture to get car repaired. There are not parts available nor can they tell you when they may even have. So okay I have an issue with my car but no idea when it can be repaired. This is 2nd recall for my car last one my steering rack had failed. That one too no one could tell me when part would even come. I had to wait 6 months to even get it repaired. Someone needs to look at why these parts are not available for things that need to be fixed. Some are not safe as in my last recall.

STEERING
A few months ago this started. Power steering is sticky, at highway speeds the steering wheel can be turned at a 45 degree angle and stick. at one point i can take my hands off the wheel and it will not return to center at highway speeds. Starts sticking at 20+ MPH and requires small increments to unstick the steering wheel.

STEERING
I am also experiencing the issue described in NHTSA action number EA23003. The steering is "sticky" leading to ever-changing steering effort. At times, so much force has to be applied that overcorrection occurs. It decreases the safety margin when driving and applying corrective steering to prevent lane departure or collision. I have luckily not had any accident occur as of yet, but I can easily imagine it contributing to a collision if and when the margin for an accident is sufficiently narrowed. There are no warning lights or messages provided by the car for this issue. When I asked Honda about the issue, they said I would have to pay a fee to even have the vehicle looked at. They also stated that it would cost over $3000 to fix if it was found to be the same issue described in TSB 23-037. My vehicle only had 47,000 miles when I unwittingly purchased it with the issue. They said that they could not replace it for free because it was not under warranty and there was no recall for the issue, just a TSB. I am surprised that this is still not a recall given how apparent a safety risk it is. Frequently I have to jerk the wheel for it to break free and respond to steering input. It's unfortunate that Honda is not being more proactive about replacing this component. Please let me know what else I can do to help progress this to a recall. Thank you

STEERING
Steering column clicking when turning and sticky steering at times. Safety put at risk because of the sticking steering column. Problem has been noted in civics of this year, but my car does not come up as needing any recall even though it’s affected by this problem. VIN is not registering in recall database.

STEERING
When driving at hwy/interstate speeds the cars steering wheel has a catch or stiff spot. This happens when the wheel stays in the same place for a second or two. This happens while driving straight and making micro corrections to keep the car in the lane. It also happens while driving into a curve it turns smoothly into the curve but once you hold the wheel in the curve for a second and then try straighten the wheel it hits the resistance. I have found I need to do 1 of 2 things to avoid possibly losing control of the vehicle. Once I hit the resistance I turn away from it slightly and then back into it and it then goes without resistance. Turning into it more works also but is risky as you can get through it but it becomes easy to turn once you do and it causes an over correction if not aware and reduces the drivers ability to handle the vehicle.

STEERING
When driving at highway speeds the steering for the car gets slightly "sticky" requiring minor corrections to remain on the road/in the lane. To "un-stick" it, it typically requires a slight pressure to the left. This is obviously distracting and potentially unsafe. ** Please note ** when this occurs I am **not** driving with lane-keep assist, cruise control or any other assists active. I'm in the process of scheduling an appointment with the service center to look into this but I heard of this issue from others and drove the same car that did not have this problem so I want to log it here.

sterring wheel gets stuck while taking a curve on highway , take a bit more force to turn back to center position. feels like a break free from being stuck. the problem makes it hard to stay in your lane because of the extra force to re center steering wheel.

Steering constantly sticks and is difficult to turn once car is warmed up. The main issue is highway driving as it can get stuck and takes a lot of effort to keep straight. Issue keeps progressing and dealership will not fix under warranty.

While driving at highways speeds my steering seemed to be sticking while on left curves. The steering wheel would have to be forced out of the stuck position to be straightened back out.

STEERING
- The steering gearbox seems to have a manufacturing defect in the gearing. This is causing the steering to get slightly stuck at the center. - I do mostly highway driving, The steering getting slightly stuck at highway speeds is endangering my safety and the safety of people around my vehicle. - The problem was confirmed by Ourisman Honda in Frederick, MD (I will attach the diagnosis paperwork for verification) - The car has only been inspected by Ourisman Honda. It has not fully stuck up to this point. - There were no signs, the issue just began happening and nothing had said there was an issue until I had it diagnosed at the dealership.

Steering wheel sticks, especially at highway speeds, but also lower speeds after driving for a period of time. The steering wheel jerks when trying to ease right or left. It feels very unsafe, especially on the highway, as it can cause overcorrection.

The steering wheel feels "sticky" when trying to make some micro adjustments while traveling at highway speeds, and be alert more than usual. Often find myself correcting the oversteering at times, driver assist does help deal with stickiness but would to remain on alert.

STEERING
My steering wheel recently started "sticking" at 50+ mph when going straight, which appears to be a common issue with 11th Gen Civics that I meet the criteria for, This is a 3 year old car with only 8k miles on it and it started occurring this year in the winter time. It's a very serious issue because it feels like the wheel is stuck in place and it doesn't turn until you kind of pop it out. They are only apparently recalling sport's and touring's for this probably because so few SI's get sold so they told me it was my aftermarket wheels making the steering wheel heavy (they are lighter than OEM wheels) and that there was no active recall for the SI. So now I have to drive at risk of a crash until they recall it, or go and pay to get a serious safety issue fixed. I opened a ticket with Honda because this is just corporate greed, they have a technical service bulletin already out there, 23-037 for this issue, my steering components are not different than the touring or sport models so I have no idea how it doesn't apply to me but I am experiencing the issue. I am under warranty (8k miles) and Honda refuses to fix it leaving me I guess to fix it myself or continue to drive dangerously while they gaslight me and tell me it's my aftermarket wheels for an issue that occurred 7k miles after they were put on the car. Just want to have this documented in case I crash directly related to this issue that is already known but corporate greed is keeping them from fixing.
