Sticky steering wheel causes difficulty in steering. Car requires adjustment constantly to keep it straight and the steering wheel is hard to adjust. Took it to dealership and they say it isn’t part of the recall but it’s not smooth when turning.

STEERING
Steering switches from stiff to loose while driving causing the vehicle to jerk when that occurs. This occurs at all speeds. Honda Service says the issue is related to the EPS and that it must be replaced. This is an issue affecting many Civic owners that Honda is not taking responsibility to fix. This is a safety hazard.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Steering is best described as “notchy” or “sticky,” it feels stiff. Minor wheel corrections on the highway cause the car to overcorrect and overcompensate steering. Small adjustments made while driving do not feel smooth.

STEERING
The steering mechanism of my vehicle exhibits noticeable resistance (stickiness), necessitating constant, minor adjustments to stay centered in my lane, particularly when traveling at speeds over 40 mph. This condition is a significant safety risk, as it could lead to excessive steering correction during emergency situations at highway speeds, which might cause a loss of control over the vehicle. Although I have reported this issue to the dealership and told them about the TSB 23-037 issued by honda, they have concluded that there is no recall with the vehicle and want to charge me a diagnostic fees and keep the vehicle with them for multiple days. The vehicle is in warranty. I contest their evaluation, believing that the problem has not been adequately addressed.

STEERING
For several weeks, I have noticed while driving, the steering feels like it is sticking and catching. It feels as though the steering locks into place which causes an issue with trying to control the steering as well as issues with turning the wheel while driving the vehicle. This is a major safety concern. I took the vehicle to Buckeye Honda located at 2615 N Memorial Drive Lancaster, OH on [XXX] regarding my concerns. Keith Vanatter a technician at Buckeye Honda test drove my car and verified my concerns of a sticking steering wheel and recommended a replacement of the rack and pinion. A service advisor at Buckeye Honda named Jacob Lang informed me after the tech verified the issue with my vehicle that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced at a cost including parts and labor of $2798.57 because my vehicle is out of warranty since it has over 36,000 miles on it. I was highly upset over this and informed the service advisor that the car is a 2022 model and I purchased it brand new in 2022 and should not be having this kind of issue with the steering. I informed Mr. Lang that Honda should be responsible to fix the issue at no cost since there are open recalls and numerous reports which Mr. Lang verified of 2022 Honda Civic car owners having the same issue that mine is having and he advised that my car did not show a recall per the vin. Mr. Lang advised me to call Honda America and speak with them to see if they could do something about getting this fixed or meeting me half way on the cost, Honda America advised no since no recall information pertains to my vin.

STEERING
Steering wheel sticks while driving took it to Honda and they claim they test drove it for 12 miles and found nothing wrong with it. I took home the car and it’s still Doing what I took it in for. The steering either over steers or under steers (not sure if I’m explaining it correctly) kind of like when lane assist is on.. the fight it gives you without indicating of a lane change well it does that at all times even when it is not on

STEERING
My steering wheel is very sticky. It gets stuck when i’m driving and trying to turn. It is a safety concern because sometimes it is requires an effort for me to use my steering wheel when driving. my steering wheel has been assessed by Honda and they mentioned that it Hass to be replaced. However, since my car is out of warranty, I would have to pay for it or a portion of it. This should not be happening and it is a safety concern. Honda should offer a recall regarding this issue because a lot of vehicles are having this experience with their steering wheel.

STEERING
The steering is sticky and have a hard time keeping in the middle of the lane without constant minor jerking. Very noticeable at high highway speeds above 40+ mph. This safety concern might cause over correcting in an emergency steering at highway speeds thus possibly losing control. I took it to the dealership and they said there was nothing wrong with the car. I let them know they were wrong. Technician test drove the car but never took it onto the highway.

STEERING
The steering wheel has been sticking when turning left and right, resulting in a not smooth turn. The steering wheel also sticks when making minor adjustments to direction while driving straight. Most noticeable at highway speeds of 65+mph This has happened every time I've driven the car for the past few months. I took it to Honda this week, 2/19/24 and they stated they could not replicate it, but one tech/service advisor did note that they did feel some stiffness Honda states they recalibrated the steering wheel

STEERING
Having problems with the steering wheel, while driving my car, the steering wheel gets stiff and it is hard to maneuver causing the vehicle to pull. I feel very unsafe driving my vehicle on the road. I received a recall noticed, therefore I took my car to dealership but was informed that my car was not under recall, but was informed that I needed to replace the steering gearbox. I don't understand why my vehicle doesn't show as having a recall if I am having the same issue mentioned on the current steering rack recall. I have been waiting for my car to get fixed for over a month; the dealership is waiting for parts. Meanwhile I have to drive my vehicle with this problem because the dealership will not provide a rental due to vehicle's recall status.

STEERING
The steering wheel feels like it is sticking which causes minor corrections to be over corrections. It’s like the steering wheel gets stuck and you have to force it to turn in order to make a correction.

STEERING
I began having intermittent problems with my power steering system several months ago. While driving at highway speeds, the steering wheel gets "stuck", and I have to use force to unstick it, which causes overcorrection at times and makes it difficult to keep the car in the proper lane. Since there was a recall on my car involving the steering rack, my husband took my car into the Honda dealership in Gainesville, FL and explained the problems I've been having with the sticky steering. They drove the car, but said they could not replicate the problem I described, so no repair was done, but they did inspect the recalled steering rack. There have never been any warning lights or messages when the symptoms appear. Since taking the car to the dealership, the problem with the steering has been getting progressively worse, making it very difficult to drive. I called the dealership again today, and have an appointment to take it in again tomorrow, February 20, 2024.
