STEERING
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
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.

STEERING
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.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
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.

FORWARD 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.

STEERING
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.

STEERING
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.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
2022 Honda Civic Sport current milage: 21,000 miles. I have had this car since September 2021. Ever since my first day of ownership, the LKAS system for assisting the driver with lane guidance constantly fights me. Often, the car turns the steering wheel by itself to hug the left lane line, often passing over the line and causing the Lane Departure warning to activate, shaking the steering wheel. This issue has occurred on the right lane line as well, but typically the issue is with the left lane line for my car. This happens every time I drive my car. I took my 2022 Honda Civic Sport to a Honda dealership about a year ago to look at the lane departure issue. The mechanics were able to replicate the issue, however nobody knew what to do as no codes were supplied by the car. The employees acted as if I was stupid as I explained my issue, with video proof, however their doubt changed when their test drive concluded. I was later informed by Honda dealership employees that the car was "supposed to guide towards the lane lines." I am not confident that any car is "supposed" to do anything as dangerous as the 2022 Honda Civic Sport LKAS system; this issue will increase the likelihood of accidental sideswipes on multi-lane roads, or loss of control in poor road conditions as you have to yank on the very stiff steering wheel and constantly apply pressure to oppose the LKAS system. Another issue with the same 2022 Honda Civic Sport is that the ACC system malfunctions. For no reason at all, in perfect driving conditions and no warnings at all, cruise control will turn itself off. This is dangerous as I do not anticipate the deactivation of the system, leading the car to significantly decrease in speed on the interstate without. The system cannot be reactivated until the car is recycled; the vehicle must be pulled off the road to correct this problem. Nobody at the dealership knows what to do about the cars they sell.

STEERING
While driving my car on the highway I'm noticing that my steering wheel often gets stuck if I've been driving straight for a while. When I feel it get stuck I have to apply pressure or pull it to get it to move. Sometimes when it gets stuck and I try to move it slightly it feels like the car is drifting off into the next lane. Almost as if the car is fighting me a bit. For example I will try to move it to the right but it gets stuck and goes to the left. This is very dangerous sometimes I get scared thinking what if it doesn't move one day and I crash into something or someone. It is very unsafe!

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
There are issues with steering possible lane assist. I took it to Honda to be accessed, initially the rep tried to tell me there was nothing wrong/ didn’t understand the issues I was having. Then I was told it was a small hose that was constantly triggering lane assist feature and that they needed to take the dash apart and install this part they claim they special ordered. I left my car at the service center for several days. They reported they had replaced defective part And the issue had been resolved however, It’s been 2 weeks and the car is worse than before. The steering wheel is stiffer than before and makes a clicking sound when turning any direction. I’m afraid of an accident because the issue forces the driver to constantly. The service guy claimed it’s not dangerous just something annoying. I feel frustrated because this shouldn’t be happening with a car that I just 1 year old

STEERING
While driving the 2022 Civic Touring there is a noticeable stickiness to the steering almost as if the wheel will look up while trying to drive straight and pull the car to different sides of the road. Its almost like the first 5 degrees right or left are not registered, causing it to lock up. It originally was while driving straight mainly highway miles. Now it’s becoming noticeable during day to day driving and turning. This is very unsafe considering the car can turn and steering wheel will not allow the driver to automatically correct because it is locked up. If you go to the dealership everyone pretends like it’s unreal but check any forum and tons of people are experiencing these problems with 2022 Civics. I had a dealership tell me to my face that it is 100% "normal".

STEERING
Vehicle has sticky steering that is noticble above 40 mph and gets worse as the vehicle goes faster. It does take considerable effort to steer at highway speeds as the resistance makes it difficult to not overcorrect when steering. When lane keep assist is on it can also be felt that it is struggling with the resistance in the steering. This started at around 5000 miles. The dealership states that it is the steering rack. There was no warning lamps. There is no tech safety bulletin or recall. This is a known problem and a potential safety issue.

STEERING
Turning the steering wheel feels "sticky" or has excessive resistance, and i have to apply significant force to "break it loose" again, seems to happen at highway speeds intermittently. This issue makes it very difficult to keep the car in a straight line. the force needed to turn the wheel when it "sticks" causing unintentional overcorrections. This is extremely annoying to the driver, and possibly safety concern for keeping control of the car.

The steering wheel doesn't allow me or the lane keeping assisting system to make small adjustments. It's sticky and may cause over adjustments. Please check the link below. Most of the users have the same problem. https://www.carproblemzoo.com/honda/civic/2022/2022-honda-civic-steering-problems.php
