STEERING
The steering wheel seems "sticky" as in it feels as though it gets "stuck" in intervals typically after traveling several miles at highway speeds. It requires excess force to adjust and move the steering wheel once it "sticks" and is exceptionally noticeable while driving a straight path and having to adjust the wheel left/right in minor increments to follow the straight path. Occasionally I even overcompensate with force to "unstick" its position and have drifted over the center road line in the process which I instantly thought the first time it happened could prove dangerous if another driver were directly beside me in an adjacent lane. I will be having the vehicle assessed by the dealer in the next couple of days. No warning lamps indicate any problem with steering or steering components. This issue started somewhere around 4-5,000 miles and is progressing with continued vehicle use.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
issue related to Honda Sticky Steering problem. Problem is being investigated in over 530,000 2022-2023 Honda Civic, 2023 Honda CR-V and 2023 Accura Integra vehicles. I own a 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid and would like to report that I am experiencing the same issues with Sticky Steering and am adding my concern to the list of other car owners with similar issues. I hope that a recall will be instituted to fix this serious safety problem/defect. It is my understanding that the NHTSA has now upgraded the investigation and look forward to a speedy resolution to fix the problem. Honda issued a TSB 23-037 back in July which told dealers to replace the electronic power steering gearboxes on 2022-2023 Civics if customers complained about sticky steering. A recall or similar order needs to be established to fix same issue with 2023 Honda CRV's.

STEERING
As you drive the car, the steering wheel sticks/ binds/ freezes and every second the driver must move the steering wheel to correct the direction of the vehicle. It is a very serious safety issue. I am advised that the part necessary for the fix is on back order along with 18-20 others.

TIRES
The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed on the highway, the contact became aware that the front passenger's side tire was flat. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The contact called Honda Roadside Assistance to replace the tire with the spare tire and became aware that the vehicle was not equipped with a spare tire. The vehicle was towed to a tire shop, where the tire was replaced.

STEERING
After driving for a period of time, the steering exhibits "sticky" behavior. By this I mean that there is unexpected and unusual resistence to the steering of the vehicle. This behavior developed over a period of time - when new, the vehicle did not exhibit such behavior. While I cannot assert that this is unsafe, it certainly does not instill a sense of security or safety in driving the vehicle. I believe this needs to be investigated.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I experienced a fuel theft while parked in a hospital parking lot. This vehicle has a fuel filler lid that opens from outside and can be opened by anyone. I came back to the vehicle to find the fuel filler lid open and the gas tank at a lower level than when I parked. I checked and there was no leakage. Fuel filler lids should open from inside vehicles or have a lock on them.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
This vehicle has the new "signature" Honda headlights. The low beam has two illuminated lights which oncoming drivers mistake as high beams. They flash their high beams at me to inform me that I am driving with high beams turned on when I am not temporarily blinding me and creating an unsafe situation. I live in a rural area with mostly single carriageway roads and this happens almost every time I drive at night.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
We were in a parking lot. When my husband (driver) put the car into reverse, it accelerated wildly, and the brakes would not work. We almost struck a pedestrian. We were able to put the car into park to stop it. We waited, checked to see if something was stuck under the pedal. Then my husband put the car into drive. It accelerated wildly again. Brakes did not work. We nearly struck a car. We waited. Finally, we thought the car was ok, and we attempted to leave the parking lot to head home. The car did it again. We called AAA and had the car towed to the nearest Honda dealership. It has been there for more than a week, and the service department is telling me that there is nothing wrong with the car. The American Honda rep told us the same thing.

STEERING
This vehicle has a binding sensation in the steering when at the steering wheel is at the center, i.e. vehicle going straight. When making small adjustments to stay in a lane, some extra effort is needed, then once that is overcome, the steering wheel moves normally. There were no warnings apparent on the dash, nor has the vehicle been inspected by a dealer, as this began to occur on a long road trip. The road surface does not seem to affect the behavior. When lane-keeping is active, you can still feel the binding as the electric motors for the steering overcome the sticky area. The vehicle is available for inspection. I hope to have it evaluated by a dealer soon. This did not cause any accident or out-of-control situation, however I am concerned this may be a precursor event to a larger failure of the steering.

STEERING
Steering "sticks" when making small corrections at speeds above 30. There is a distinct restriction that must be overcome to make directional changes. When traveling on a smooth flat surface there is a definite restriction of "sticking" that must be overcome. Seems to occur after the car is driven 10 to 15 minutes. My CRV has approximately 9,400 miles when the problem surfaced.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal to make a lane change, the vehicle revved up and hesitated before gaining forward momentum. The contact stated he heard an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that it sounded as if the electric hybrid propulsion system had shut off. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure to accelerate was intermittent and occurred when he was on the highway and was depressing the accelerator pedal to gain speed. Additionally, the contact stated that he observed that the vehicle would start independently and that the power door locks would fail to operate as needed. The contact stated that on several occasions after turning off the vehicle and entering the residence the contact heard the vehicle emitting a remote start beep. The contact stated that he approached the vehicle and the vehicle had independently started. The contact also became aware that the battery was drained intermittently, and the vehicle needed to be jumpstarted. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact had not retrieved the vehicle from the dealer. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

STEERING
2023 Sport Hybrid CR-V drove fine up until the first service. This was completed around 10k miles when my maintenance minder popped up at 15%. When the car was returned I noticed that the steering wheel felt "sticky" at times when driving, which usually occurred when driving straight. When trying to make slight adjustments in order to correct myself to stay straight, I have to apply more force to loosen the steering wheel which seems like it is catching on something. The excess force applied causes the car to make a jerking/jumping motion in either direction once it breaks free which then requires a quick adjustment in the opposite direction. So far this situation hasn't caused me to swerve into an adjacent lane hitting another car. This situation seems to occur more frequently when going 60+ MPH. However, this has still occurred to me while just driving around town at lower speeds, around 40 MPH.

STEERING
Vehicle steering sticks at highway speeds, making it where extra force is momentarily needed to steal the vehicle. The steering then unsticks causing over steering of the vehicle. On 12/6/2023 the vehicle was taken to the Honda dealership, the dealership replicated the problem and suggested a steering rack replacement. On 12/07/2023 Honda tech line advised the dealership not to do the repairs as the steering issue was normal and not a safety concern. The dealership advised I would need to conduct a ride along with a corporate service person and have them approve the repairs if they felt it was needed. This steering issue has caused my vehicle to depart from the lane several times while driving and is unsafe. I will have documentation from the dealership after other repairs are made to the engine involving fuel system issues. The vehicle is currently at the dealership pending repairs.

STRUCTURE:BODY
When driving the vehicle in the rain, there is water running inside of the driver's side door. The problem is evidenced by the sound of running water originating from the inside of the driver's side door. The issue was checked and verified by the dealer who removed the driver's side roof molding and sealed a spot by the roof molding clip. The issue was not resolved so the the dealer now states that the issue is inherent in ALL 2023 CRVs so there is nothing they can do about it. With that much water running within the door, there may be a potential for corrosion and possible structural failure of the door components.
