| Mar 2024 | STEERING | At some point in 2023 I took my car to Honda because all of the dashboard lights came on randomly. They told me there was an issue with the a sensor in the steering column and that they would fix it under warranty. Now several months later I’m noticing a sticky feeling when driving at highway speeds. The wheel needs a tad bit of force/jerk to make the slightest adjustment. I’ve had 2 other drivers drive my car that have reported the same issue. One driver said that they thought the car needed power steering fluid not knowing that it was electrical steering. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Mar 2024 | STEERING | AMERICAN HONDA REFUSING TO ACCEPT that these vehicles they care more about profit than actual safety of customers and dealership even though my warranty expired they wont take in consideration to fix either sticky steering wheel situation which becomes dangerous driving not just on regular roads but worst on highways if you dont correct yolking or force steering wheel back in place you will get in bad accident its either from the steering rack itself or Sticky steering wheel that these new 2022-2023 or newer honda civics they are manufacturing at high rate that they dont care in inspecting it. They need to fix it. These corporations get away with alot and enough is enough they want money money money but not fix something they are aware about and push it upon customers. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | STEERING | The steering wheel is “sticky” and has to be hand corrected at certain angles. Once you steer too far left or right, it gets stuck in that position | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | STEERING | Vehicle has "sticky / notchy" steering when driving above 40mph, issue worsens with higher speed. Any minor adjustment make to the steering just to stay in the lane, steering gets very tight and when extra force is applied to move steering wheel it then releases and causes overcorrection. Issue especially dangerous when going around a long sweeping turn or corner, steering will get so tight the steering wheel gets stuck, to the degree that you can let your hand off the steering wheel entirely and the wheel stays in the turned position on its own. Tightness progressively getting worse over time. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Mar 2024 | STEERING | Having to adjust the wheel to maintain a straight path while driving. - Steering resistance for minor adjustments while driving at highway speeds. - The wheel sticks, causing the driver to need more force than usual to turn When more force is applied to break the wheel free from its stick, the car may overcompensate in that direction - When turning, the wheel will maintain its position, not slide back to center, if hands are removed from the steering wheel | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I recently purchased a 22' civic EX used less then a week ago and noticed the steering wheel acting almost as if its sticking/catching when driving 45-50mph+ and doesnt want to correct unless you pull/yank to get out of turn. Ive also noticed having to make many small corrections while driving even in a straight line like it wants to veer due to the constant jerkiness almost like an alignment issue but tighter. It is a safety concern especially with how hard it can be to correct; even worse on the interstate at higher rates of speed and more traffic. Issue seems to gradually get worse, the warmer the car is. Took car in to Music city Honda to be inspected, they test drove and noticed issue. Was unwilling to fix bc my car is just outside of warranty. Manufacturering errors/issue should be fixed free of charge!! Told me it would cost $3200 roughly to repair! The car was purchased from dealer with the issue! Called Honda Corporate to file complaint, and now filing here. This is really an unacceptable issue! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | STEERING | Steering switches from stiff to loose while driving causing the vehicle to jerk when that occurs. This occurs at all speeds. Honda Service says the issue is related to the EPS and that it must be replaced. This is an issue affecting many Civic owners that Honda is not taking responsibility to fix. This is a safety hazard. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | STEERING | When traveling at highway speeds the steering is starting to feel "sticky". Making small adjustments to keep the car driving straight are starting to require more force leading to slight oversteering. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE | Steering is best described as “notchy” or “sticky,” it feels stiff. Minor wheel corrections on the highway cause the car to overcorrect and overcompensate steering. Small adjustments made while driving do not feel smooth. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | STEERING | The steering when driving above 25mph, the steering wheel seems to stick, having to always jerk the steering wheel slightly to get it to unstick | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | STEERING | The steering mechanism of my vehicle exhibits noticeable resistance (stickiness), necessitating constant, minor adjustments to stay centered in my lane, particularly when traveling at speeds over 40 mph. This condition is a significant safety risk, as it could lead to excessive steering correction during emergency situations at highway speeds, which might cause a loss of control over the vehicle. Although I have reported this issue to the dealership and told them about the TSB 23-037 issued by honda, they have concluded that there is no recall with the vehicle and want to charge me a diagnostic fees and keep the vehicle with them for multiple days. The vehicle is in warranty. I contest their evaluation, believing that the problem has not been adequately addressed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
