STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
At this point no accident has happened. The steering wheel becomes stuck or unable to move at times when making small adjustments while trying to maintain control of the vehicle. It also becomes stuck more so when turning at about a sustained 45 degree turn. The wheel becomes rigid and does not respond to drive input and has caused a reaction with over steering as a result when trying adjust to compensate for the sticking of the steering wheel. The lane keep feature of the cruise control seems to play a factor and after it has been used the problem is substantially worse. I do like to drive the car for fear for my safety. When taken to the dealership, I was told nothing is wrong and that it’s part of the vehicles handling. Not being able to control a car is not part of the handling. This issue is persistent at all speeds however it appears to be more noticeable at above 44 mph

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TIRES
I was driving down the freeway in January and my front driver side tire sidewalls separated from the rest of the tire and flew off of the rim causing me to drive on the rim. Zero warning lights or tire pressure lights appeared on my dash until after I installed my spare tire. Very scary this occurred on a freeway at full speed and no indicator light came on. I heard a loud noise when my tire flew off which then required me to immediately stop.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I started the car and had multiple system warning lights come on. They are electric power steering, tpms, vehicle stability assistance, low speed assist, lane keep assistance. I took to dealer and was told they don't know what problem is and was not covered under warranty. Car has less than 5000 miles on it. The car is available for inspection and the problems have not been fixed to date

STEERING
At highway speeds and after longer periods of driving (>20-30 minutes) the steering becomes stuck in position until excess force is applied, leading to over-correction, and I believe this is a safety concern. This problem has been observed widely when searching online. The vehicle has not been inspected, is out of warranty, is available for inspection upon request, and no messages or other symptoms appeared. This problem first appeared in 2020 and persists when different tires and wheels are mounted.

STEERING
At highway speeds while trying to keep the vehicle straight and in my lane, the steering sticks while trying to make minor adjustments to stay in my lane. I have to apply more force to my steering and I end up overcorrecting and it becomes very hard to stay straight and in my lane. This is only at highway speeds, anywhere from 60-75 mph, I have not noticed this happening at lower speeds. It seems something is happening with with the steering wheel or something in the electronic power steering system is malfunctioning. There are no warning lights on my car, I have talked to several certified Honda master technicians about this issues and they recognize the symptoms and tell me it is the electronic power steering rack having issues. My vehicle has only 42,000 miles.
