STEERING
Sticky Steering. Ever since I bought this car it feels as if the steering wheel sticks in certain spots. It will drive you crazy going down the highway. Unsafe as you have to jerk on the wheel.

STEERING
At about 3000 miles, and when it was cold, started to experience “sticky steering”. On the highway, at higher speeds, the car resists when making small movements away from straight ahead. I took it in for the separate steering rack recall; my car did not need work due to the recall. However, they will be replacing the steering rack because of the sticky issue. The part is backordered, with no ETA. They said it’s safe to drive, but it does make me nervous to go on the highway.

STEERING
I’ve had this car for the past two years and when I purchased it, I thought the steering wheel sticking was because the was new. Here we are two years later and I’ve having to jerk the wheel to unstick it while driving at high speeds on the freeway. I feel very unsafe when driving. I received a recall notice in the mail explaining to take the vehicle in to your local Honda dealer and they would asses the recall and repair for free, only for them to look at the problem and tell me it is not under warranty. I showed the paper once again that said they would repair it for free and they refused to do so. Please help me.

STEERING
The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, upon attempting a turn, the steering wheel required increased effort, with the contact manually turning the steering wheel back to center. The contact then became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the steering column sleeve. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: EA23003 (Steering). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.

STEERING
When driving, the steering wheel feels sticky and requires some force to keep the car driving straight. Car does not drive straight and requires constant handling of the steering wheel to keep it in the lane. It almost feels like the lane keeping system is trying to turn the car back into the lane but this feature has been disabled. I frequently notice this when driving on the highway at highway speeds after the car has been warmed up.

AIR BAGS
Like others, I have had an airbag warning light appear intermittently. Apparently, my VIN is affected by this even though this and Honda's website indicates there are 0 recalls for my car. Dealership informed me that this indeed is a recall issue.

STEERING
At moderate to highway speeds, the steering wheel feels like it’s sticky when attempting to make small steering adjustments. The car will not immediately steer and more force is required than usual. This is more noticeable at higher speeds but also occurs at lower speeds. This issue also just began after 25,000 miles.

STEERING
November 2023 - Present January 2024 - Current mileage 4900k Starting at roughly 3,000 - 4,000 miles, while going 55mph - 65mph and after driving for about half an hour / 30 minutes, the steering become sticky and no longer has a smooth operation or freely steering. The steering wheel slightly sticks to the left for a sec then releases creating a slight jerk motion to the opposite side. It has become quite dangerous to drive in any condition. So far the dealership has not found a way to duplicate the issue and can't seem to help. We have mentioned this issues to the dealership multiple times and dropped the car off with no luck of a fix. It has not been a great experience as we purchased new for my wife to commute to work and it's been nothing but a headache and dangerous for continue driving.

STEERING
I believe this is related to investigation EA23003 [XXX] When driving at highway speeds, the steering seems to "stick" in position when the wheel has not moved for a short time. It seems to be more obvious on longer drives. This interferes with fine steering control like staying in lane and causes overcorrecting. I bought my car new and received it in January of 2023. I didn't start noticing it until maybe around May and it has been becoming more noticeable. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STEERING
Steering is 'sticky,' making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel, it is like it has to 'break free' from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 50-65 mph, regardless of the driving mode

STEERING
My new Honda Civic 2022 purchased April 2022 first exhibited "sticky" steering about 6 months after purchase. The issue started off as a low resistance and would go away and not happen again for weeks. By mid 2023 the sticky steering resistance had become significant and was occurring more frequently. I began taking my car into the dealership however they were unable to reproduce the issue. In December 2023 I could no longer safely operate my car at speeds above 40 mph as small steering corrections required over-steering. I took my car back to the dealer saying I could no longer drive it. They reproduced the issue and took possession of my vehicle. My car is under warranty however there are no parts available to make repairs. The dealership has been in possession of my vehicle for 2 months now and last I was informed the availability of parts had been delayed.

STEERING
steering feels "sticky" when making minor turn adjustments on a straight road. It would randomly freeze at a position and require extra effort to "break loose", resulting in unwanted oversteering. This problem used to occur occasionally at highway speeds only (50+ mph), but now happening more consistently at any speed. Had a Honda dealer inspected the vehicle, they claimed the car drives normally and there is no issue with steering.

STEERING
The steering sticks, feels tight like it’s hard to turn when driving at 40mph+ speeds. You have to apply more steering pressure to turn the wheel, at which point the steering pressure will suddenly release and turn normally. It will do this constantly as you drive down the road.

STEERING
Over the last 6 months or so, the steering has felt weird - like I would have to sharply move it when trying to adjust going left or right. More noticeable the faster the car moves. Getting worse now. I researched 2022 Honda Civic EX steering issues, and reports of "sticky" steering are being investigated. "Sticky" is exactly the term I would use when describing this problem. I will now contact my Honda dealership to report the problem and attempt to find a solution. Car still under warranty.
