STEERING
UNKOWN - Power Steering is starting to go out. It gets stuck in certain positions and needs more force to make turns and to keep the car straight. It can cause overcorrection and can cause an accident. The manufacturer has not released a statement regarding the issue, but there is an ongoing lawsuit against the car brand. It has not. No warning lamps/messages have appeared on the dash.

STEERING
- My steering malfunctions. The steering becomes "notchy" which causes jerking motions rather than smooth turns. - Safety puts others at risk as steering becomes less than 100% accurate and smooth. - Brought it to dealer and they said they could not reproduce. Likely because the issue arises after driving for some time. - Dealer says they inspected and claims there is no issue. - No warnings, messages or other symptoms prior to steering malfunction.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Steering wheel suddenly became stiff, gives resistance to regain control of wheel.. this happens when driving with computer aids on & off.. When driving straight with very minimal movement of the wheel the steering becomes locked in that position and will force car to drift out of lane. This problem occurred in highway and city travel.

STEERING
My brand new 2023 Honda Civic Touring with 3100 miles on it has begun developing a steering issue. When driving at speeds of 40MPH or higher, when my steering wheel is dead center, the force required to move it left or right has become noticeable that I really have to use force to get it to adjust. It's almost like it's locked or sticky. This is a frequent occurrence when trying to maintain lane centering or making small adjustments during small twists and turns on the roads. At first I thought my lane keep assist was malfunctioning, as the sensation of the system correcting for you is similar, but even when lane keep assist is off, this problem still occurs. Concerned about safety, maneuverability during unexpected situations... it's also really bothersome and distracting, you're constantly having to force the wheel to move to stay in lane. Will be taking it to dealer for an assessment, however this does not appear be an isolated issue and searching google yields very similar results to my experience. Should be investigated and remedied.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
I was doing 28 mph with both hands on the steering wheel and was about to start declining down a hill, so I lightly touch the brakes. The car left the roadway. The steering wheel never turned. I hit a pile of rocks which launched me into the air landing on a 500 pound boulder which totaled my vehicle. There was only 561 miles on the car and as a result my insurance tripled. I know suffer from PTSD because I no longer trust any vehicle! I also had a very sore neck for weeks following the landing. I reported to the insurance company which was Progressive that there is definitely a defect within the car. I even reported it to the regional office as well. Nobody seems to care! I am a good driver, and at the age of 51 I have not had any accidents. I have no doubt in my mind that the 2023, Honda Civic has a major defect and many lives are at risk!

STEERING
Took car to the dealer in June 2023 and complaint that Steering is 'sticky,' making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel, it is like it has to 'break free' from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 40-45 mph, regardless of the driving mode. Car is not driving smooth. Paid dealership for a balancing. Took car back to dealer in July 2023 and service diagnostics reported racked steering problem, and this part was on BACK ORDER. Apparently the issue has been reported several times with by other customer. Currently the dealership is waiting for the part. This is a potential safety issue. I have requested a loaner car to avoid operating my car constantly, but of cause there where no loner vehicles available.

STEERING
The steering system malfunctioned; It is available for inspection upon request After driving about 5 miles from work, I entered a freeway and accelerated to blend with the flow of traffic. Something was terribly wrong. The wheel became difficult to manage and would not steer properly. I increased my grip, I felt that I was losing control, constantly trying to reposition the car in the lane. I was not able to exit the freeway but got off the freeway when I found a side street that I knew. There were warning messages that I was going out of the lane. My safety or the safety of others was compromised. I never experienced anything like this. This is a new leased car and I have had it about 5 weeks.

Driver seat and the seat belt squeaking. Started at 3k miles. Usually at lower speeds, sometimes the seat belt is squeaking even just if I’m breathing. Makes me worry about the quality of the assembly of parts.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I first received the brand new car with 25 miles on May 5th, 2023. I had it for about an hour and it completely shut down on me in the middle of the road so I took it back that same day and it took them over 2 weeks to give it back to me, I finally received yesterday once again and this morning it broke down on me once again in the middle of traffic and it was due to the same issue that was “supposedly fixed.” I have a 3 year old with me most of the times and if that were to happen in the interstate and the car completely breaks down like it always is, not only would it most likely cost my life but it would cause my 3 year old sisters as well. This car is not reliable at all and I would honestly prefer a different one.
