STEERING
Steering wheel "sticks" while driving at different mph. When it sticks and then breaks free, it causes a sudden jerk in the direction I am steering and has created several close calls for an accident. Luckily I was able to avoid other cars and being taken off the road into a ditch. There is a serious issue here that is not being addressed. I took my car to one dealer and they could not find anything wrong. I took my car to another dealer and was able to show the technician what was happening. They diagnosed an issue with steering assembly and will replace when parts are available. Fortunately the service center is able to provide me with a loaner car so I can drive safely until this is fixed.

STEERING
It occurrs when the steering is dead centered, and very noticeable because when you are driving on a straight road, you are continually making very small left/right adjustments to steer straight. My vehicle is darting all over the road and cumbersome to drive. Pretty scary and dangerous. It feels STUCK and requires a continous amount of effort to overcome the resistance. This is a dangerous and scary issue and needs to be recalled and fixed asap.

STEERING
When driving the steering wheel seems to stick momentarily. No warnings lamps or messages appear. There seems to be no reason for it to stick and the problem cannot be reproduced upon demand. When this happens, the temporary loss of steering capability can be unnerving. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer’s service center and the entire steering system was checked and steering components re-torqued. The sticking steering wheel has been occurring since we purchased the vehicle.

STEERING
The steering keeps getting stuck on my 2023 CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring, especially at speeds over 60mph. This has almost caused me to have an accident on two separate occasions now while on the highway. The only way to get the steering wheel to become unstuck is to apply moderate force to turn the wheel, causing the vehicle to jerk abruptly in that direction.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The steering on our CRV seems to do this jerky "sticky" thing on turns where it's almost fighting or stuck in a position for a split second. It's happened a few times on turns of about 20+MPH. I've been noticing this happening more as of late, the car has about 8500 Miles or so. It happens about every 1 of 5 trips I take on it, and I've felt it at highway speeds and on streets. I also hadn't told my wife about this because I thought it was just me noticing this, but today she called and mentioned that the steering felt sticky, and just ackward and was worried about it getting worse. So this confirms that it's not just me feeling this slight tick or stickyness in the steering. It's starting to worry me and now my wife because we bought this car as a family car because we have an 8 month old child that puts this problem front and center for us.

STEERING
1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? My 2023 Honda CRV Hybird Touring is exhibiting what is now known as sticky steering issue. The issues surfaces after driving the vehicle for a minimum of 15 to 20 mins on a highway and more prominent at speeds of 60 miles per hour or above. Out of now where, the steering feels like its stuck and requires bit of more effort to turn it out of this locked position. When it is stuck in a certain position, I could even remove my hands of the steering and the steering wheel stays in this position unless either I turn it by hand or based on the road conditions (due to bumpy rough roads) unlocks itself from this position. Problem doesn't show up during the first 15 to 20 mins of the drive during a way but once it appears, doesn't go away until next day. Unfortunately, I wont be able to provide my vehicle for inspection as I depend on it very much for my regular office commute. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I honestly feel a bit frustrated and terrified when this happens while driving at high speeds on the highway and I don't feel comfortable or safe to drive it anymore. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? It is currently at a nearby Honda dealership for the regular maintenance. I have explained this problem to the service representative and he said the technician will look into it and will try to replicate it. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, I didnt go this far. But if the dealership doesn't acknowledge the problem and wont fix it, I will take this to the next level. Probably speak to someone at Honda head office or an NHTSA representative. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, not at all.

Steering is often "sticky" causing driver to exert more pressure than normal to turn the wheel. Have expressed concerns to dealer and am waiting for parts to be ordered, they do not have an ETA for parts, in the meantime just having to deal with it.

STEERING
The steering / steering wheel has been sticking while driving my 2023 Honda CRV, meaning the steering wheel does not turn smoothly but sticks while driving the car, forcing me to put slightly more pressure on the steering wheel to keep it steering safely and inside the lane. I think I noticed this problem probably 3 or 4 months ago. The problem does not seem to occur right away after leaving home and sometimes not at all while driving at lower speeds. I notice the sticky steering more often when the car is on the freeway going at a higher speed, but the sticky steering continues even when the car slows down.

STEERING
At highway speeds, the steering feels sticky, like the wheels are stuck in a rut or that the steering wheel can't do smooth turns, especially around curves in the highway. This has occurred consistently while driving on the highways. I feel like there is more force needed to keep the steering smooth with the possibility of over compensating and losing control of the vehicle, which is scary while trying to stay on a curve. I took the vehicle to Bell Honda on Saturday, Jan 27th for the issue and they "could not duplicate the issue" and did nothing to fix the problem. There were no other warning signs or lights that indicate an issue, just the performance of the vehicle.

STEERING
On 1/24/2024 I experienced an issue with "sticky steering" which made my vehicle difficult and unsafe to drive. I felt that it was difficult to keep my vehicle in a single lane. This issue has already been reported to the NHTSA by other owners of the same vehicle. The vehicle is scheduled to have the issue reviewed on 2/5/2024 at the selling dealership. There were no warning lamps when this issue happened.

STEERING
During highway driving and city driving, my 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid steering system requires momentary extra force to overcome a sticky steering problem. This happens when turning both left and right. It is available for inspection if needed. Before overcoming the sticky steering, the car tracks in the direction where the steering is “stuck”, which can lead to undesired direction of travel for the car. This puts the driver and surrounding vehicles at risk. I brought the car to my local Honda branded dealer, who of course could not replicate the situation and mentioned this is normal operation and agreed that it can be somewhat annoying. They mentioned the civic problem but declined to have a service supervisor ride with me when offered to explain further. There are no warning lights associated with this problem.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Horn installed in vehicle sounds like a Clown’s horn. When we have needed the horn to prevent an accident the other drivers are unable to hear this horn. Honda needs to add a second horn to all the vehicles so that it is louder and has a tone that is more likely to alert other drivers of a problem. A Honda dealer has developed an upgrade kit to allow for the installation of a second horn. I have attached a copy of receipt for the purchase of this part.
