The passenger side drive shaft or axle snapped in half due to excessive rusts under the vibration dampener. I was accelerating from a red light while going uphill, heard a clunk, all of a sudden car would not go forward or go into park. I had to hit the brakes to avoid rolling backwards and hitting a car behind me. Then I had to put it in neutral to get to a safe area and get my car towed. The car has about 51,000 mi on it. We are in Pennsylvania so we do get a lot of road salt, still it doesn't seem like this should have failed just driving forward. The mechanic says he hasn't seen a failure like this in a car of this age. The portion of the axle under the dampener was clearly quite tapered due to chronic rusting, finally just snapped where it was so thin. It appears that the dampener traps salt and moisture against the shaft.

At highway speeds, steering sticks and requires excessive force to break resistance and provide input. This makes it difficult to make small corrections and causes swerving within the lane.

Steering wheel sticking after 2nd oil change 9,000 miles. on the highway and speeds over 45mph the steering wheel will stick and require force to move it from its position. It is not subtle and smooth like every car I’ve driven before. A recall is I order for this steering column. Please look at all the other similar complaints on 2022 civics.

Sticky steering, drifting steering, hard to keep in a straight line. This is an ongoing problem which I first noticed in late November after having the car for several months. It seems to be getting worse. I took it to the dealer they said that it is normal, but I wonder how it could possibly be normal.

While driving for some time the steering feels notchy like it takes more effort than normal to steer from center (only occurs for the first 5-10 degrees either direction from center). This usually becomes noticeable when driving around 30+ minutes over 35MPH, and it causes LKAS to struggle to keep the car center in the lane. Definitely a safety hazard and seeing as there are a TON of others having this same issue across all trims levels. Does not prevent me from driving but is a potentially hazardous issue if it becomes worse than it is.

THE STEERING IS VERY STICKY. IT CATCHES MOSTLY TO THE LEFT AND WILL HOLD ITS POSITION TAKING YOU INTO OTHER LANE UNLESS YOU YANK IT BACK. IT STARTED ONLY AT HIGH SPEEDS NOW IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME. CAR SEEMS TO PULL TO LEFT IF YOU HAVE HAND ON WHEEL BUT GOES STRAIGHT IF YOU LET GO. IT WILL CATCH AND DART SHARPLY IN AND OUT OF LANES WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVE. NOT ENJOYABLE DRIVING AT ALL.THERES BEEN NO WARNING LIGHTS OF ANY KIND. I GOT CAR AT 45000 MILES AND THIS STARTED AT 50000.DONT KNOW IF ITS RACK OR STEERING MOTOR BUT IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.CAUSES EXTREMLY ERATIC DRIVING.SO DAYS ITS ALMOST UNDRIVABLE.

- #11501974January 16, 2023FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
The front windshield camera that utilizes Honda Sense safety tech keeps misreading certain traffic signals and inadvertently activates the phantom braking. Sometimes it blinks ultimate times to even cause the vehicle to apply it’s emergency brakes despite no objects present on or near the intersection(s) of major traffic light routes and or construction sites with very bright lighting. Luckily no other motorists were behind me. The Lane Departure warning feature would also mistake the vehicle for moving over the designated lane when driving down or uphill or in some interstate highways even though the vehicle is maintaining centered lane control. I have consulted my nearest Honda dealership on the matter and was told the manufacturer would have issue a recall for the Honda Safety Sense since they do not have the hardware nor software to resolve the matter in a timely fashion. Not sure if other 10th generation Honda Civic owners are experiencing the anomaly but it’s a monthly occurrence.

The car has 18K mikes and the steering sticks after driving for 30 minutes or so. It takes a slight jerk to get it unstuck and is a dangerous issue. It happens at highway speeds and slower speeds as well.

The steering seems to be sticking well driving in a straight line, and as you pull on the wheel, it will suddenly almost feel like it’s clicking then move. I have seen many forums online of the same complaints and Honda is doing nothing about it. This is my daughters car and I want it to be safe. That’s why I bought a new one. I was driving the car last night and it’s seems very dangerous. The car only has 4600 miles on it and it’s extremely noticeable.
