STEERING
Steering wheel gets stuck momentarily while driving. It feels like it skips/steps after getting released. As a result small adjustments to the steering wheel are not smooth when the problem occurs. While not touching the steering wheel, it makes a slight move unintentionally. The problem seems to occur at any speed, but less noticeable at high RPMs. The problem puts me and passengers at risk since I constantly need to give adjustments to the steering wheel.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was driving down the highway and I got sprayed by a truck, but the wiper would only clear a small portion of the windshield. There were 2 large pockets on the driver and passenger side that the wiper didn't even touch. This issue only occurs in winter. I believe this is a safety issue because I can't see out the window and the wiper system clearly has some issues. I believe Honda should have added a heated wiper park to this car. My old CR-V Touring had heated park and I did not experience such an issue on that vehicle.

STEERING
Steering feels very jerky on the highway. Best I can describe it is when you are giving little corrections with the steering wheel it feels heavy and then the power steering helps once you get to a certain level of input and the wheel jerks hard. Almost like the power steering can't see the first 5⁰ of input at highway speeds. This makes for a car that is hard to keep centered and unsafe driving conditions on the highway. This effect is noticeable in normal mode and unbearable in sport mode.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Windshield wipers do not fully clean/clear driver side of windshield. This is a MAJOR safety risk as wet roads can impair driver vision from salt and sand trucks. Windshield wiper fluid does not clean/clear drivers vision from this and creates a direct block of vision of the road. What I experienced was minor due to minimal snow. This was very impactful in loss of visibility even on this experience. I am genuinely afraid for my safety as this winger season ensues. This is incredibly dangerous and could cause an accident or possibly death.

STEERING
Steering becomes sticky and stuck when turning to left as steering must be manually auto-corrected to center mostly more prominent on highway speeds causing car to be at serious risk for crash. Dealer diagnosed problem as PS rack and replacement is around $3k with out of pocket or extended warranty. This was a known issue for previous generation and continues to be an issue in this generation.

STEERING
Steering is sticking when making normal minor corrections while driving. This causes the driver to have to over-correct to get past the sticking point. When driving on the highway, this makes driving dangerous, as an over-correction moves the vehicle closer to other vehicles or barriers. Note that this problem started around middle of November 2022. Prior to that the vehicle drove fine, no issues.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I have less than 2000 miles on a new Honda Civic Ex and the emission systems problem warning light has come on and it says power may be reduced and see your dealer. Took to dealer and they think it is with the fuel cap but cannot get parts since it is too new. Everything I read indicates it is serious and needs immediate attention. Do not know what to do.

STEERING
The steering of the car is hard to control starting at 30 mph and getting progressively worse as you increase the speed. The steering wheel seems to lock in a position and when you try to correct your path of travel it causes an over correction due to the additional force necessary to try and keep the car in the intended path. I had 2 close calls where I almost had an accident on the high way because of this. along with my hand being damaged as a result of a service connected disability I fear that I wont have enough strength to keep the car from veering into a tragedy.

STEERING
The steering wheel "sticks" a little when driving at highway speeds. This is when lane keep assist is turned OFF. As far as I can tell this mostly happens when I'm going in a straight line. It can be unstuck fairly easily by applying pressure to turn, but something is clearly off.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
one day after approximately 11k miles of use, the sterring began to bind. Sticking mainly to the center, at first it wasn't very drastic. A little extra effort & you were able to mussel through it. The more you drive it ghe worse it gets. It got to an unmanageable point with the lane assit on, as the car fights itself. this started approximately 3 & half weeks ago. Its getting worse. Had an appointment at tge dealer 2 weeks ago, yesterday there was a release date for my steering rack of January 1, mabye. It gets worse w speed.

STEERING
While driving my 2022 Civic at freeway speeds beginning to notice steering wheel isn’t responding as smoothly as normal. Car tends to drift in lane and when you correct steering wheel sticks and feels similar to the lane keeping assistance even though it is turned off. Seems to be getting more noticeable and steering isn’t as responsive

STEERING
At highway speeds, the steering wheel will stick a few degrees from center on either side when allowing the wheel to return to its neutral position. When making minor adjustments while travelling straight, the wheel will give increased resistance at the points mentioned above. This can be possibly dangerous if a driver assumes the wheel will behave normally when completing a turn or overcompensating during minor adjustments. This can be especially true during inclement weather conditions where minor adjustments or wheel sticking may affect the driver's ability to correct an otherwise avoidable traction related incident.

STEERING
When driving at higher speeds on the freeway my steering becomes resistant. Causing over correcting. One day when it was very windy driving to work after over correction I blew into the other lane, luckily no one was close enough. Driving on the freeway for long periods of time causes hand cramps from the amount of grip it requires to keep it center lane. This is a safety issue. I have taken it to Honda on 3 separate occasions for the same issue and every time they say there is nothing wrong.
