STEERING
The steering wheel seems "sticky" as in it feels as though it gets "stuck" in intervals typically after traveling several miles at highway speeds. It requires excess force to adjust and move the steering wheel once it "sticks" and is exceptionally noticeable while driving a straight path and having to adjust the wheel left/right in minor increments to follow the straight path. Occasionally I even overcompensate with force to "unstick" its position and have drifted over the center road line in the process which I instantly thought the first time it happened could prove dangerous if another driver were directly beside me in an adjacent lane. I will be having the vehicle assessed by the dealer in the next couple of days. No warning lamps indicate any problem with steering or steering components. This issue started somewhere around 4-5,000 miles and is progressing with continued vehicle use.

STEERING
The steering wheel will freeze up, and I have to forcibly jerk the wheel to the opposite direction to return directional control. This typically happens at freeway speeds in sweeping right hand turns. This problem has gotten worse over time. Problem not common in left hand turns, or at lower speeds.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
issue related to Honda Sticky Steering problem. Problem is being investigated in over 530,000 2022-2023 Honda Civic, 2023 Honda CR-V and 2023 Accura Integra vehicles. I own a 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid and would like to report that I am experiencing the same issues with Sticky Steering and am adding my concern to the list of other car owners with similar issues. I hope that a recall will be instituted to fix this serious safety problem/defect. It is my understanding that the NHTSA has now upgraded the investigation and look forward to a speedy resolution to fix the problem. Honda issued a TSB 23-037 back in July which told dealers to replace the electronic power steering gearboxes on 2022-2023 Civics if customers complained about sticky steering. A recall or similar order needs to be established to fix same issue with 2023 Honda CRV's.

STEERING
As you drive the car, the steering wheel sticks/ binds/ freezes and every second the driver must move the steering wheel to correct the direction of the vehicle. It is a very serious safety issue. I am advised that the part necessary for the fix is on back order along with 18-20 others.

TIRES
The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed on the highway, the contact became aware that the front passenger's side tire was flat. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The contact called Honda Roadside Assistance to replace the tire with the spare tire and became aware that the vehicle was not equipped with a spare tire. The vehicle was towed to a tire shop, where the tire was replaced. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the Honda Hybrid vehicles were not required to be equipped with a spare tire. The contact stated that she was concerned for her safety. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 6,870.

STEERING
After driving for a period of time, the steering exhibits "sticky" behavior. By this I mean that there is unexpected and unusual resistence to the steering of the vehicle. This behavior developed over a period of time - when new, the vehicle did not exhibit such behavior. While I cannot assert that this is unsafe, it certainly does not instill a sense of security or safety in driving the vehicle. I believe this needs to be investigated.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving about 35mph. Nearest vehicle ahead of me (semi trailer) was about a block ahead. My brake alert came on. I did not brake because there was no need to. Then the car applied the brakes automatically. No accident as no one was behind me. This occurred first week of Dec 2023. There was a prior incident about a month ago where the car ahead of me was about a car and a half length ahead. Brake alert came on, then Went off. I didn’t brake and really didn’t think too much of it. But after reading online, others having issues I thought it needs to be reported.

Same issue as Honda Civic "Sticky Steering". Once you start to get above 40 MPH, you feel a sticking point in the steering (left and right) when trying to make minor lane adjustments.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I experienced a fuel theft while parked in a hospital parking lot. This vehicle has a fuel filler lid that opens from outside and can be opened by anyone. I came back to the vehicle to find the fuel filler lid open and the gas tank at a lower level than when I parked. I checked and there was no leakage. Fuel filler lids should open from inside vehicles or have a lock on them.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
This vehicle has the new "signature" Honda headlights. The low beam has two illuminated lights which oncoming drivers mistake as high beams. They flash their high beams at me to inform me that I am driving with high beams turned on when I am not temporarily blinding me and creating an unsafe situation. I live in a rural area with mostly single carriageway roads and this happens almost every time I drive at night.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
We were in a parking lot. When my husband (driver) put the car into reverse, it accelerated wildly, and the brakes would not work. We almost struck a pedestrian. We were able to put the car into park to stop it. We waited, checked to see if something was stuck under the pedal. Then my husband put the car into drive. It accelerated wildly again. Brakes did not work. We nearly struck a car. We waited. Finally, we thought the car was ok, and we attempted to leave the parking lot to head home. The car did it again. We called AAA and had the car towed to the nearest Honda dealership. It has been there for more than a week, and the service department is telling me that there is nothing wrong with the car. The American Honda rep told us the same thing.

STEERING
I was driving on the interstate between 55-65 mph on a straight path when I noticed the steering wheel would stick when I would try to follow the curve of the road. I would have to apply increased steering effort to keep or correct the vehicle’s path.

STEERING
This vehicle has a binding sensation in the steering when at the steering wheel is at the center, i.e. vehicle going straight. When making small adjustments to stay in a lane, some extra effort is needed, then once that is overcome, the steering wheel moves normally. There were no warnings apparent on the dash, nor has the vehicle been inspected by a dealer, as this began to occur on a long road trip. The road surface does not seem to affect the behavior. When lane-keeping is active, you can still feel the binding as the electric motors for the steering overcome the sticky area. The vehicle is available for inspection. I hope to have it evaluated by a dealer soon. This did not cause any accident or out-of-control situation, however I am concerned this may be a precursor event to a larger failure of the steering.

STEERING
The steering wheel sticks and requires extra effort to break it loose to make small adjustments. This seems to happen and get more severe after a minute or two of driving, and especially when speeds approach 35 mph and higher. Very difficult to make small adjustments smoothly when cruising on an interstate or a straighaway. You have to break it loose for small steering moves, and you can even feel the vibration of it breaking loose in the steering wheel itself. Often you can even hear the sound of it breaking loose in the steering column itself. Went to the Honda dealer, and they cant get me in until Feb 1 2024 to even look at it. I notice there is a TSB MC-10239109-0001 concerning steering boxs on Honda's. This started sticking at about 2000 miles on the vehicle, and is getting more consistent. I now have 2800 miles on the vehicle. The dealership seemed to be unaware of the problem but it is all over the internet, and I find it hard to believe they do not know about it as it has been reported on 2022 and 2023 civics and now is apparently affecting the 2024 models.

STEERING
Steering "sticks" when making small corrections at speeds above 30. There is a distinct restriction that must be overcome to make directional changes. When traveling on a smooth flat surface there is a definite restriction of "sticking" that must be overcome. Seems to occur after the car is driven 10 to 15 minutes. My CRV has approximately 9,400 miles when the problem surfaced.
