STEERING
[UNKNOWN] I have noticed a clicking sound when turning my steering wheel, sticky steering, vibration in my steering wheel, terrible grinding sounds while driving, terrible steering control as well. I have a gash in my rim from having no steering control to avoid pot holes. It’s to the point I either hit the pothole or have a head on collision. I have read that customers are having the same issues after they have the recall taken care of. (HONDA NEEDS TO DO A FULL CIVIC RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!) it’s to the point where the dealerships and customer service are giving different information to the customers affected. I don’t know what to believe anymore. Do a full car recall before someone is killed, accident’s have already been reported with this recall. It’s not right for a valued customer to go through such. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY OWN CAR!!! It’s very Disturbing to imagine driving down the road and you get into a collision and take someone’s life if not your own due to a vehicle safety recall. That should be the last thing on someone’s mind when they get into their vehicle. All of my concerns, and issues listed above are for my 2022 civic. I had my vehicle looked at today, the dealerships look confused with this issue. They have to wait for a higher up to let them know proper information as to what’s needed, the vehicle needs an entire recall!! As I said I don’t feel safe and I’m not alone. This issue is not being corrected the proper way.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
* Steering wheel binds while turning left, usually around 3 degrees. Breaks free with very light touch. * Steering wheel can kick to the left while returning to neutral from a right turn * Steering wheel was strongly kicked to the left about 6 degrees while going up hill. * Going up or downhill greatly increases the incident rate. The vehicle was taken in several times for this issue. It was taken in for a recall notice, and they said they checked the parts to find nothing wrong. I'm - very - certain they did nothing. My car has since been removed from the recall notice on Honda's website. They were only to recreate the issue once since then with zero resolution.

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
When driving at high way speeds my steering wheel has been sticking which makes minor corrections much more difficult while at speed. With having to put in more effort to steer this could lead to an overcorrection in the turn which is a huge safety concern. This is a different issue than the current recall of the faulty EPS repair part being faulty. This is the original part in the car that is having the issue with the EPS gearbox or motor.

STEERING
Over the past several months I noticed that the steering in my 2022 Civic would occasionally stick while driving at highway speeds. While turning through curves, the steering wheel felt like it would briefly lock into position and then would take some effort to turn it back on center. The problem has been getting progressively worse since then. The steering now sticks at lower speeds as well and makes noise while turning. No warning lights or error messages have ever come up. On March 30, 2024, I brought my Civic to a Honda dealership and the techs there confirmed the steering was faulty, consistent with Service Bulletin 23-037, and said my electric power steering gearbox would need to be replaced. Since the vehicle has 42,000 miles on it, the repair is no longer covered under the initial warranty. The dealership quoted me a price of just over $2,500 for the repair but said the part was on backorder and couldn't be completed at that time anyway. The service manager submitted a "goodwill request" to ask if Honda would cover the repair, but I have not heard back yet. I followed up with the dealership who said they haven't gotten a response from Honda yet either.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While driving steam started to appear from the engine bay. I pulled over to inspect, lifted up the hood and could hear the fuel line popping and gasoline hissing out. The engine bay spontaneously caught fire. As it ignited all of the gasoline in the air combusted and created a ball of fire in my face as I was looking in the engine bay. The fire was put out by the fire department. An incident report was created. The potential for safety risk was high and could have been worse if I was not on a road where I was able to stop or if it caught fire while I was inside the car. The vehicle has been inspected by Insurance and confirmed to be a total loss. Since nothing was left to visually inspect of the car their investigation came back nonconclusive as to the cause. There were no indication lights that there was anything wrong with the engine.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On multiple occaisions the forward collision braking system has engaged erroniously while traveling on highways or interstates. Sudden heavy braking in these scenarios is disorienting and puts my at higher risk of rear end collision and of traction loss. The Honda dealer has been made aware of the issue but has dismissed it and refused to forward the complaint to Honda. There were no warnings or notifications other than the indicator that the forward collision braking system was being engaged.

STEERING
On 4/4/2024 i filed a complaint about my sticky steering. Today 4/15/2024 about 10 minutes into my drive my tpms light came on. 10 seconds later my car wobbled a bit but it kinda felt like my sticky wheel so i thought i was ok. About 10 seconds after the wobble it did it again only harder this time. The steering wheel got locked at the 10 position and made me smash into the concrete highway barrier.

STEERING
I just bought a certified used 2022 Honda civic touring on 4/13/24 with 72,000 miles and experiencing a sticking steering wheel feeling that is most noticeable driving at high speed but also driving around the city. It gets worse the longer I drive in one session. The wheel sticks and then jerks when corrected. It feels extremely unsafe. I first noticed this issue driving home from the dealship. No warning lights or messages indicating anything was wrong. Im new to these newer vehicles so i thought I had some type of driving assist on so i googled and it seems that I am not the only person experiencing this SAFETY issue. I will be taking it into a Honda dealership to be looked at.

STEERING
I have been experiencing sticky steering over the past 8 months and thought that getting the recall fixed would fix the issue but I still find my self applying a little extra force to remain center in a lane driving at 60mph +. When trying to stay centered and attempt to make corrections I often times over correct causing me to sway more then usual. Although I have had any accidents yet, I do feel there is a greater risk of one just from over correcting just to get the steering wheel to move. There arent any warning light on.

STEERING
The steering often feels "sticky". The effect is most noticeable at highway speeds, where I need to make lots of small corrections to the steering, but I can also notice it on back roads. When I try to turn the steering wheel by a small amount, it won't turn, so I need to apply additional force to overcome the stiction. Once I apply enough force for the wheel to "break free," I end up overcorrecting, and I need to turn the steering wheel back in the other direction, at which point I encounter the same problem. This issue makes it difficult to maintain my lane while driving. This problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. I took the car to a dealership due to a recall on the power steering system, but they told me my vehicle was not affected and they didn't replace anything. I made another appointment to look into this issue and asked that a technician be available to I could demonstrate the problem. When I arrived, no one was available to look at the vehicle, and the service advisor told me I had to pay $175 before they would try to diagnose the problem, despite the fact that the vehicle is still under warranty. I haven't had the vehicle inspected by police or insurance representatives. However, I am happy to make it available for that purpose. There were no warning lights/messages that indicated a problem with the steering system.

STEERING
We bought the car new and it currently has 22,000 miles on it. Throughout its lifetime, the steering has been "sticky" in that the driver is unable to keep a straight line or turn without the steering temporarily binding. This requires more force to be applied to the steering wheel and causes an overcorrection. It is unnerving and dangerous to the driver and to other cars. The local Honda dealer has been unhelpful in diagnosing or even admitting the problem. No warning lights indicate a problem.10

STEERING
unknown.. Steering feels sticky while at highway speeds. Normal Speeds feel fine but once you’re up to 55-70 Mph you have to force the steering wheel back to center after making a slight turn on the highway (lane assist is off).

STEERING
2022 Civic Sport with 28k miles but problem started just around 18k. While driving the steering wheel sticks and extra force is needed to change directions. When driving straight and it gets sticky i have to turn to the 11 or 1 position to get it unstuck constantly. Its worse on hard curves, correcting the wheel is very dangerous and i have been scared a few times im going to overcorrect and hit the rail. Dealership cleared me of the steering rack recall and when i asked "why is my wheel getting stuck then" the response was " you're lowered and have oversized wheels that could be it". My springs only drop 1.4" and wheels are 18x8.5 +30 offset so they do poke out a bit but this problem started about 2 months before my new wheels were put on.
