STEERING
During drives recently, I have noticed that the steering wheel likes to "stick". What happens is that I will be driving in any conditions at any time and when the car starts drifting out of its lane and I go to correct myself, I notice that the steering wheel likes to have a tendency to be very hard to move for a quick moment then return to normal. This usually happens frequently during the drives where it is affected by this issue but some drives aren't affected by this issue at all. Even during a turn on a curvy road it was "sticking", and I decided to let go of the wheel to test it, and during the turn the wheel stuck in position during the turn for at least 10 seconds until it returned to normal. I feel that the steering wheel could get worse through wear and get stuck into position at any moment and not let me use it again without force which could endanger other drivers. No one at this time has inspected the vehicle but I have been thinking of bringing it to the dealer.

mainly on highway speed. the sticky steering issue has been a wide spread. i have experienced it and it happens quite frequently. trying to keep the car align to the road can cause a bit of oversteer especially on curves trying to straighten the car after a curve it pulls too much. it becomes more dangerous on rainy days

STEERING
At highway speeds when going in a straight line, the steering becomes sticky when making a slight adjustment which leads to overcorrecting and cause the vehicle to swerve back and forth. The issue seems to be worse in colder weather.

STEERING
The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the power steering failed, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn in either direction. Additionally, while turning the steering wheel, the steering over corrected making it difficult to control the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering box was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 6,500.

STEERING
It seems as though the steering is not connected for a few seconds when on the highway at higher speeds. There is a brief disconnect where the steering wheel has to be first "unstuck" before it'll start responding again. Typically happens after about 30 mins at speeds greater than about 45 mph. It becomes incredibly scary to feel as though you don't have control when on the highway. It becomes hard to keep the car in the lane because constant adjustments are needed to keep it unstuck. The dealer claims there is no issue after a 10 minute test drive, and charged me for diagnostics. There are no warning lights, and the issue seems to be getting worse each time I drive. The symptoms first started to appear around 23,000 miles.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
"Steering wheel gets sticky above 40 mph. It hard to move the wheel on short notice. It also feels like a resistance on the steering." Staring at 40ish MPH, steering becomes sticky and slight corrections become difficult, at higher cruising speeds of 65+ this issue gets worse. Staying in lane can be difficult especially on lanes going from straight to curved. Sticky steering also fights lane assist which causes wheel to overcompensate automatically. Lane departure lost track of center and wouldn't let the driver steer easily. After fighting for control against the system

The steering is malfunctioning by getting stuck while driving. If the steering it straight the car refuses to turn without significant force causing a jerking. There seems to be a steering rack problem.

I have experienced the “sticky steering wheel” with my vehicle. Although it isn’t severe, it still is noticeable and I have adjusted my driving style to compensate. Luckily I have had no close calls yet but I constantly check to make sure it does not affect my driving.

STEERING
Sticky steering. Extra effort need to change lanes on highway. Problem started off intermittently and is now constant. Dealers are claiming they are unable to replicate issue on the majority of cars who report this. The car needs a new steering rack(electric).

STEERING
While driving I will experience extra resistance/sticking in the steering wheel. It's most noticeable on the interstate but I can experience it at any time. I have an appointment with the dealership tomorrow to look. I know there is an active recall for certain trim levels of my year/make/model for this exact issue, but my vehicle is not under the recall. This issue affects more vehicles and the recall needs to be expanded!

STEERING
Steering wheel sticks on the left side especially bad on winding roads but does on straight always as well. You have to constantly move the steering wheel to the right & can physically feel the tug when as it unsticks. You feel it get stuck initially as well & it doesn’t let loose until you steer right. If you don’t then you can’t follow the left wind safely. On winding roads the car moves right of course but with lanes close it creates a very dangerous situation for the driver & other drivers. Who knows if it will not unstick sometime in the future. The car is at 15,000 miles & the issue has been going for about 500-750 miles. No warning lamps. Dealer not notified or inspected yet but will be soon.

STEERING
The steering wheel when above 55 MPH feels sticky. It gets stuck in one position, so as a result you have to exert more pressure to move it, which results in over correction. This keeps on happening throughout the journey, and because you keep on correcting the wheel it feels as the the car is wavering in the lane. I've read online that there are a lot of owners complaining about this issue, some have even crashed. So, I am reporting this out of concern for everyone's safety. PS. Lane keep assist is turned off, but this problem still persists.
