STEERING
Steering sticky and stiff at highway speeds, requires additional effort to move from centered position.The vehicle is one year old with has roughly 15,000 miles and this just happened recently, oddly enough it appears to work fine at lower speeds.

STEERING
Car is at about 14k miles. I noticed at high speeds (on the interstate highway) around 55-70 mph, the steering wheel starts to stick. When keeping my car inside the lanes it is very difficult to do so without accidentally jerking the steering wheel, because of it sticking. The steering wheel does not stick when moving at speeds slower than this.

STEERING
At approximately 20,000 miles the vehicle has issues with the steering wheel sticking, adversely affecting the ability to steer the vehicle safely. The issue appears after the vehicle has warmed up and is more noticeable while in the higher RPM range at approximately >40 MPH. The steering feels locked in place with the driver needing to fight the steering in order to control the vehicle. The amount of adjustment needed to steer the vehicle causes the steering to overcompensate and causes the steering to stick in the opposite direction which requires the driver to fight the steering the entire time the vehicle is operated. This issue presents a great safety concern to both the drivers/passengers in the vehicle and other drivers as the fatigue of manipulating the sticking/notched steering wheel can lead accident if the driver's inputs are not consistent with the steering defect. No warning light or or error codes are present.

STEERING
The steering at highway speeds feels like it sticks at the 12:00 position, almost like a notch is there and I have to give it a little more movement to get the wheel itself to budge. The car also feels like it needs to be re-centered in the lane a lot and it tends to weave.

STEERING
The steering has a tendency to "stick" and hold a direction to the left or right of center, requiring more force to bring back to center after a turn. This comes up during highway speeds where there is no "on centering" movement in the steering after a turn, rather, the steering feels notchy and "stuck" in a certain position and extra unusual amount of force is required to right the steering wheel back to center

STEERING
Steering wheel/rack in car feels as if it's sticking, giving resistance, and notchy. Driving car at highway speeds the steering seems to be less responsive and doesn't want to continue to stay straight. Has a jittery feeling as if it wandering. Lane assist has been turned off and issue still occurred. The problem seems to be getting worse and the car feels unsafe to drive.

STEERING
When I drive down the road at certain times the steering sticks which does not allow me to make the minor adjustments needed to stay in the center of a lane. This causes a jerkiness and overcorrection when driving at higher speeds. This has occurred on long trips and short drives, but sometimes the steering seems fine. I have confirmed that it is not the lane assist kicking in. It is a problem with the steering wheel sticking.

STEERING
The car is 5 months old and the steering wheel was never centered always pulled to the right I had the dealer do an alignment done and nothing has changed it is unsafe and always pulling to the opposite direction. No warning lamps came on. The dealer is telling me the alignments are perfect but it is not. I see that so many others are reporting the same issues but the dealer says nothing is wrong. The steering sticks unless moved to straighten it out. This is a big safety concern if there are so many people complaining about the same issue in the same car.

STEERING
2022 Civic Sport has close to 2k miles and the steering is sticky and requires force in the opposite direction to "unlock". This is happening with our 2022 Civic Touring and now this new Sport :(. It is a safety issue when trying to correct the stuck steering wheel, if over corrected, can inadvertently drive into another lane unannounced. Many people seem to be having this issue. NHTSA please help us! Honda won't acknowledge this faulty, dangerous issue!!!

STEERING
Factory Ordered 2022 Civic Touring Sedan summer of 2021. Took delivery October 27th 2021. Vehicle has 17,600~ miles roughly today. Around mid to late summer of 2022 I started noticing the steering becoming semi-stiff, notchy only in centerline position of 3-5 degrees on Highway driving. All driver aides are turned off LKAS etc. Tried with on or off. Basically, any speed in excess of 40+ mph, especially 60+ mph the steering wheel at random feels lightly stuck, semi-locked, resistive at center position or anywhere within about a 3-5 degree center position requiring a slight but constantly noticeable over steer to get power steering to engage properly. Makes highway driving annoying and uncomfortable constantly using wrist to make minor over corrections slightly right/left, left/right against the resistance. Car drives fine below 40mph. Alignment has been done twice to rule it out. Most recently this December. Dealership has been advised on my last alignment. Simply put steering is sticky, notchy, semi-stiff in centered position once above 40mph+ but not at every single time the vehicle is started. Mostly 60% of the time. I am waiting and would seriously like Honda to investigate the issue and release a TSB fix so I do not have to waste my time running around with the dealership debates BEFORE the factory warranty runs out.

STEERING
When driving above 45 mph the steering wheel stiffens or sticks. It is unsafe to drive with this issue because it causes the car to slightly swerve to get the wheel to unstick. When turning I can let go of the wheel and it sometimes gets stuck in a sideways position instead of spinning back like most cars do.

STEERING
Steering is sticking when making normal minor corrections while driving. This causes the driver to have to over-correct to get past the sticking point. When driving on the highway, this makes driving dangerous, as an over-correction moves the vehicle closer to other vehicles or barriers.

STEERING
Steering wheel gets stuck momentarily while driving. It feels like it skips/steps after getting released. As a result small adjustments to the steering wheel are not smooth when the problem occurs. While not touching the steering wheel, it makes a slight move unintentionally. The problem seems to occur at any speed, but less noticeable at high RPMs. The problem puts me and passengers at risk since I constantly need to give adjustments to the steering wheel.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was driving down the highway and I got sprayed by a truck, but the wiper would only clear a small portion of the windshield. There were 2 large pockets on the driver and passenger side that the wiper didn't even touch. This issue only occurs in winter. I believe this is a safety issue because I can't see out the window and the wiper system clearly has some issues. I believe Honda should have added a heated wiper park to this car. My old CR-V Touring had heated park and I did not experience such an issue on that vehicle.

STEERING
Steering feels very jerky on the highway. Best I can describe it is when you are giving little corrections with the steering wheel it feels heavy and then the power steering helps once you get to a certain level of input and the wheel jerks hard. Almost like the power steering can't see the first 5⁰ of input at highway speeds. This makes for a car that is hard to keep centered and unsafe driving conditions on the highway. This effect is noticeable in normal mode and unbearable in sport mode.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Windshield wipers do not fully clean/clear driver side of windshield. This is a MAJOR safety risk as wet roads can impair driver vision from salt and sand trucks. Windshield wiper fluid does not clean/clear drivers vision from this and creates a direct block of vision of the road. What I experienced was minor due to minimal snow. This was very impactful in loss of visibility even on this experience. I am genuinely afraid for my safety as this winger season ensues. This is incredibly dangerous and could cause an accident or possibly death.
