STEERING
When driving at highway speeds in this car the steering becomes "sticky". You have to correct it to make the wheel go back to the center position which can cause you to over correct and cause a wreck. Car has less then 10k miles and with this issue makes me feel unsafe to drive it. Honda does not want to help at all.

STEERING
The steering sticks in a spot while driving. You have to really pull on steering wheel which causes it to oversteer and is very dangerous especially in curves. This happens everytime the car is driven. Can be available to be inspected anytime.

STEERING
Steering wheel has become stuck/jerky on the freeway. This causes me to swerve all over the road. The wheel sticks after it's been still for more than a couple seconds. To make a steering correction to stay in my lane I need to apply more force to make a small adjustment. This causes the car to swerve when the steering wheel breaks free. Then it sticks in the new position, and I end swerving the other way when it breaks free again. Dealer says only fix is to replace entire steering rack and wants $3500 for repair. Car has 55000 miles and is no longer under warranty. Called an independent Honda repair shop to get an estimate. The independent shop told me they have replaced a few. Problem apparently affects many Civics from model year 2016 through 2022. Unfortunately, the replacement rack is the same part number and has failed the same way again in some cars. This should be a safety recall and repaired ant Hondas expense.

AIR BAGS
My Check air bag system light came on today. No one as been involved in an accident but it does worry me to know that while this light is on the air bag would not deploy if me or my child are involved in an accident. Would like to have this problem investigated and repair before anything bad were to happen.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Driving down interstate on 1/19/23 and car lost power. I had to move two lanes to the shoulder without getting hit by other drivers. Had car towed to local dealer and they said it was out of gas. The gas gauge said there was 44 miles to empty. On 2/16/23 I was driving to gas station and as soon as it said 44 miles to empty, the car stalled again. Unsure if fuel pump or fuel sensor issue. When I took it to the dealership the first time all they did was add 5 gallons of gas. Didn’t check fuel pump. No charge. I did pay $275 to have car towed to dealership. The second time I added 5 gallons of gas and then went to gas station and filled up.

AIR BAGS
I was involved in a multi vehicle crash on the highway at a high rate of speed, approximately 50mph. I was hit from behind and hit the car in front of me totaling my car. My airbags did not deploy and I hit the steering wheel upon impact and suffered 4 compression fractures in my T1-T4 vertebrae. The doctor stated that if my airbags would have deployed I would not have suffered the neck fractures that I did.

STEERING
Steering wheel seems to be binding at highway speeds. When standing still the steering wheel also cluncks loudly when slightly turning. Making corrections at highway speed becomes extremely dangerous as the steering wheel will unbind and cause the car to over correct.

STEERING
Steering wheel is sticking in position. Seems to become worse as the car heats up. Happens every time the car is driven and intensifies as the car gets more miles. Potential for a dangerous situation if unable to maneuver from another object or situation. Have not yet received service to correct steering stickage. There is no visual signal stating a problem with the steering system. Started noticing slight problems around 50k miles but had definitely progressed to interfere with everyday driving.
