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.

STEERING
I took my 2023 Honda CRV Exl to the dealership last month because of steering problems. Steering seems to work against me as if it "catches", for lack of a better word. It is as if there is a gear and it has jerky movements, not smooth. This is my 4th CRV and I have never experienced anything like this. I took it to the dealership, they drove it 3 miles and said they couldnt duplicate the problem and sent me on my way. Since then it has gotten worse. It steering seems to lag behind my movements and it clicks at times. Its unsettling and i refuse to drive on the interstate to work anymore. I have had this car for 9 months and this should not be happening. It is not the driver assist, i disconnected it and its still happening. There is something wrong with the steering in this car. I am constantly working hard just to keep the car in lane. My only choice is to take it back again and ask them to drive more than 2 miles, if they would do that, i am sure they would experience what i am describing.

STEERING
While driving over 40mph and especially while driving on the highway, the steering may feel sticky and requires more effort than normal to make small adjustments to the steering while trying to maintain the lane.

STEERING
Steering feels “sticky” while driving (generally at highway speed) and requires a slight amount of extra resistance to turn the steering wheel from the straight position. Brought to a Honda dealer for inspection. They said that there was a setting that they adjusted, but no change in the condition has been observed since the dealer inspection.

STEERING
Recently noticed while driving the steering wheel would stick. My lane assist is turned off. No warning lights. This is new for my vehicle, and I thought it was just me. My husband drove my car and said he could feel it too. I have not contacted the dealership yet. Since it is related to steering, it could be dangerous. The steering wheel does not jerk, but it sticks and almost causes you to oversteer.

STEERING
Steering wheel feels like it “sticks” or is stiff. Brought to dealership and they drove it and compared to an identical vehicle on lot and confirmed that they felt the steering wheel was stiff. They contacted the tech line but were told there have been no issues so sent me home. They had taken a video of the technician stating the wheel was stiff when driving.

STEERING
Starting at around 10,000 miles i started feeling something in the steering when driving. It was a very light feeling of the steering sticking. Over the next few weeks the feeling seemed to increase at times, other times it would still be very light. I am currently trying to find the right time to get it into the dealers for a check up.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Purchased vehicle June 15, 2023. On June 22, 2023, July 13, 2023, and July 29, 2023, the vehicle suddenly applied the brakes with a warning of BRAKE on the dashboard. This happened so suddenly that it nearly caused rear end collision from traffic behind. This was while driving at normal speeds on 2 lane road with double yellow line and traffic coming in opposite direction. But with no reason for the automatic braking. On November 20, 2023, this happened again under same conditions but with no other traffic on the road. After first incident returned to dealer and service advisor did something on the dashboard display and said he reduced the sensitivity of the system. Returned to dealer last Friday November 24 and left it there until Monday November 27. They could not reproduce the issue and so recommended turning off the system which they did. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

The wiper fluid is delayed, making the fluid not make it on windshield and all go to the side window. It works when stopped but when driving the fluid goes to the side od windshield and the driver side gets zero fluid and the passanger side gets dry and streaky. Very poor design. Reddit group concerns as well

The driver’s side mirror vibrates a lot( it’s so hard to see anything, especially on the freeway “it gets blurry”). The dealership changed the mirror glass for me and the issue still there. I went back again and complained, and they ordered the whole mirror assembly for me (i waited 6 months)—the replaced it for me, and STILL the mirror vibrates. I would love to hear back from you guys because it’s so unpredictable! Thanks

STEERING
The steering wheel is lightly locking-up instead of returning to center position as it should be. The issue happens occasionally and the steering wheel can be returned to the center by putting some force to it.

Sticky Steering, steering wheel seems to get locked into place at low speeds and highway speeds requiring more force to get it "unstuck" which may cause the vehicle to jerk out of the lane or off the road.

STEERING
While driving back from holiday dinner with family I noticed I was having to correct the driving significantly more than usual. When I would correct left or right the steering wheel would visually jerk. While taking an exit ramp I had to correct the steering and actually got some body roll. For a moment I was worried we were going to roll over. I took the car out the next day and the steering wheel is sticking while driving. Imagine of you were driving in the middle lane of a three-lane highway. If you were to steer into a right turn the car will continue to make the right turn without assistance from the driver. In fact it will often continue to steer in to the right lane instead of straightening out to enter the left lane like normal.

STEERING
Around 6600 miles I started noticing the steering sticking and require more than normal force to move the wheel. At first this was noticable about 80% of the time when driving at highway speeds (~65mph). When you are going straight and have to make a slight adjustment to stay in the lane the wheel would "stick" or "lock" and require more force to get past the sticky point. This causes a small jerk when the wheel is released. After getting past that point the wheel felt normal. Over the past couple of months around (8000 miles) I started noticing it at slower speeds while in traffic (~45mph). No driving assistance features were turned on and there have been no warning lights. I have an appointment with my Honda dealership this week to have a look at it is happening more frequently. Not only does this make for a terrible driving experience, but the force required to unstick the wheel could cause the car to over adjust if not careful. Before posting here I have read multiple accounts of this same issue with the 2023 CRV Hybrid with some explaining that the dealer had to replace the steering gearbox and EPS motor assembly because the steering gearbox was found to have an internal malfunction.
