The paint on this blue Honda Civic 2010 has been wearing away for years. There’s chips of paint missing on the hood. There is paint wear on the roof in two wide strips, on the trunk all over and the fenders. Also, the roof, when washed by auto carwash, buckles in when being dried so you can tell metal is thin. There’s definitely a defect in these civics I see them all over the place and every blue one almost has worn paint just like mine! Honda had to have done something wrong with these paint jobs, they should repaint them for free!

STEERING
Starting at about 5,000 miles I have experienced a problem of "sticky", "notchy" steering when traveling at highway speeds once the car is warmed up. Lately, I have also experienced sticky steering at lower speeds, but not usually before the car warms up. I took the car to my dealership service department on January 23, 2023. I was advised in writing that this is a known issue and that a Honda engineer is looking in to the issue. I have seen hundreds of fellow 2022 Honda Civic owners reporting the same exact symptoms on the 11th generation Civic forum. I feel like there is no way that driving the car with this defect is safe or as safe as driving a car with steering that works correctly.

STEERING
Steering sticks when going highway speeds. Makes it difficult to make slight adjustments. Have to apply excessive force to make it break free causing the car to over steer in most cases and swerve.

STEERING
The steering sticks all the time. It seems the feature that allows the car to stay in the lane continues to be activated even though it is deactivated. This is a serious safety issues. When you are driving at high speeds and the steering sticks it causes the car to jerk when you have to put more force into turning the steering wheel. This issue is all over the internet and on Civic forums. It needs to be addressed immediately.

STEERING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
Steering wheel sticking when trying to make small correction. Gets worse the longer you drive, making it harder to steer. Wipers only spray fluid at higest vertical stroke, passenger side never clean, only half of driver side clean, hard to see on long drives.

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
I purchased my 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport in November of 2021. I currently have 7,000 miles on my vehicle. 2 months ago, I noticed a slight sticky feeling with my steering wheel. This almost feels like I am in a constant rut and having to make slight but hard pulls at the steering wheel to make any small adjustment. This occurs when I am going roughly 40 miles per hour or higher. At first, it felt like my LKA was on but when I saw that it wasn’t it brought concern. I had a moment a couple of weeks ago where my steering wheel almost ran my husband and I into the right lane. I am worried since there have been multiple reports of others having this same issue and it got worse. I also had a moment on December 31st, 2022 where my car was put into adaptive cruise control around 70 mph and was shut off suddenly. I was not given the option to reengage the cruise control until after my car was turned off and on again. My car is currently at the dealership for these issues as we speak and my technician has said they don’t feel what I am talking about. This has made me feel unsafe to drive my vehicle and hope this complaint can join the others and help Honda send out a recall for this issue. 169 complaints about that same thing on here is a big deal. So is the thousands of Reddit threads I have found stating this same problem. Please Honda, do better and call this in or unfortunately you will be met with a lot of lawsuits I am afraid.

STEERING
Steering has become jerky/sticky. It no longer feels safe to drive, and most of my time on the road is focused on staying in my lane without jerking the car left or right. Please help us fix this. I know I'm not the only one.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I was involved in accident due to the weather . I slide off ice and crash into a guard rail and light pole and my vehicle failed to deploy the airbags . I was not going fast due to weather. The seat belt worked probably which jammed after the impact, but my airbag warning light appear on dash board, but no airbags deployed which worries me. It’s in a collision shop now getting observed .

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The Steering feels very sticky after 17k miles and it’s getting worse, it occurs typically during highway speeds, also the lane assist feature is affected greatly by this as it does not work due to the steering having this “sticky” feel to it. moderate to overcorrection of the steering wheel is required while operating the vehicle, this has caused constant swaying putting not only myself at risk but others especially while commuting daily. I feel as though my safety is at dire risk. Dealerships are no help as they say nothing can be done unless a code is popping up, but anyone in the car world knows that steering problems do not Have a particular code of warning. Please investigate the matter ASAP as this could cause a serious life risk

STEERING
The steering has an issue with "sticking." When driving, I constantly feel little "jerks" as if the steering wants to correct itself, prompting me to constantly re-correct. The jerks are relatively small and so I haven't been worried about safety, but after dealing with this for many months and hoping it would go away (it hasn't) I'm finally registering this issue.

My trunk opens on it’s own while riding down the road! Every day several times a day I have to pull over and close my trunk because it opens on its own! It’s very dangerous as I have had things fly out of my truck bc of this! I just bought the car in October 2022! There are a lot of other complaints online when I looked up why does my trunk keep opening on my 2019 civic! From my understanding it is the 2019-2020 Honda civics! IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY!

POWER TRAIN
While driving the vehicle began to suddenly and aggressively shake. Fortunately I was arriving home and I was able to park on my driveway. The following Monday I had a car repair technician connect a car chip reader to the vehicle to run for codes. A transmission code came up for the drive shaft pulley. We looked up recalls for this vin and found one open from 2015. I had my vehicle towed to Stockton Honda where it was purchased and they did the update per the recall. Unfortunately the part that “may break” did in fact break and Honda refuses to take responsibility and refuses to replace the broken piece

Ed morse changed my push to start button and now my car has a body control module. Which draining my battery every day. Now I've changed the battery 6 times.

The parts are on back order in japan.

AIR BAGS
I read and article about the advisory made by the Honda and the U.S. Government to "do not drive" for the 2001 through 2003 vehicles with Takata inflators that have a high possibility of exploiting and hurling shrapnel in a crash.

STEERING
I HAVE A 2022 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN. ESTIMATED MILEAGE IS AROUND 36K. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE SHOP AROUND 32K, AND REPORTED THAT THE STEERING IS STICKY AND WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, IT LIKE LOCKS AND YOU HAVE TO JERK THE THE WHEEL TO GET IT. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE, AND MAKING THE STEERING UNMANAGEABLE AT TIMES. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE CAR THROWS A CODE. THIS IS A STEERING ISSUE, I DO NOT THINK THAT IT WILL THROW A CODE. I HAVE CHILDREN, AND WE ARE STARTING TO FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS CAR. I NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED, AND SINCE THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT WILLING TO HELP ME, I CAM TO NHTSA. I FOLLOW AN ONLINE FORUM FOR 11TH GENERATION HONDA CIVIC AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT STICKY STEERING IN THESE CARS, BUT NO ONE IS ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. ALSO, WE FOUND THAT MIGLIACCIO & RATHOD LLP IS CURRENLTY INVESTIGATING THE 2022 HONDA CIVIC STEERING DEFECT. THEY SAY THAT 2022 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS REPORT THAT THE STEERING IN THEIR VEHICLES FEELS STICKY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL, EVEN IN CITY DRIVING. CAN NHTSA PLEASE HELP US IN GETTING THIS ISSUE FIXED. WE PAY FOR THESE BRAND NEW CARS NOT TO HAVE DEFECTS THAT THE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT FIX. LIKE I SAID, I HAVE CHILDREN, AND IT IS GETTING UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.
