STEERING
While driving (especially for a while) the steering wheel pulls left and then right on its own. It feels almost like it is sticking or jerking. I am literally not comfortable driving it without having both hands on the wheel. Because it has a mind of its own. It will try to jerk my wheel left and right without my assistance.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
While driving the car with the cruise set at any random speed, the adaptive cruise control would "cancel" and a long beep noise would sound. When attempting to "resume" cruise control, three quick beeps can be heard and the cruise control would not activate. The car has to be shut off and cranked back up for the cruise control to work again. The dealership I took it to claimed they could not recreate the issue. There are no DTC codes and no warning lights. It has been happening since I purchased the vehicle in February of 2022. The sudden cancellation of the cruise control can pose a safety issue for drivers behind me and myself.

STEERING
When driving at speeds above 30 MPH, I discovered the steering wheel sticks when trying to center car in lane. This issue is especially noticeable at highway speeds.It is non drivable for long distances (1+ hrs) due to constant over correction of the steering wheel by the driver. This discrepancy started at 39,000. and has been happening for the last 2k miles.

STEERING
At some point in 2023 I took my car to Honda because all of the dashboard lights came on randomly. They told me there was an issue with the a sensor in the steering column and that they would fix it under warranty. Now several months later I’m noticing a sticky feeling when driving at highway speeds. The wheel needs a tad bit of force/jerk to make the slightest adjustment. I’ve had 2 other drivers drive my car that have reported the same issue. One driver said that they thought the car needed power steering fluid not knowing that it was electrical steering.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The automatic emergency braking system has flashed across my dash on multiple occasions while actually braked on a handful of times. The system seems to work correctly when its needed, but the concern is it will brake while nothing has been infront of me. I have come to dead stop while going 15 through a empty parking lot. The vehicle is open for inspection at any time. The safety of myself and others is at risk due to faulty detection and can cause an accident with my child in the car. I have not taken it to be inspected or looked at. There has been no warning lights about faults in anything.

STEERING
While driving up to about 50-60 miles I will begin to experience a sticky sensation in the steering wheel. The best way to explain it is essentially when taking a slight turn to merge into another lane there is resistance and or the feeling that might feel "sticky" like something is preventing it smoothly transitioning.

STEERING
Steering was sticky and almost caused an accident. It has been evaluated by Honda dealership and was diagnosed with the steering rack needed to be replaced. This vehicle has been in no accidents, nor driven recklessly and is not driven on inappropriate roads. The issue started around the middle of February and car was evaluated around the 22nd of February. No warning lights or messages were present. The only reason the car was diagnosed was owner intuition.
