| Feb 2024 | STEERING | The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while attempting to maneuver the steering wheel, the contact stated that the steering wheel seemed stuck, and was hesitant to move in either direction. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed the steering failure was causing premature wear on the tires. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the EPS steering rack needed to be replaced. The contact was also informed that the steering gear needed to be replaced. The vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V704000 (Steering). Still, it had only been scheduled for the remedy because the contact wanted to seek assistance with the additional repairs for the steering. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 25,000 |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | For several weeks, I have noticed while driving, the steering feels like it is sticking and catching. It feels as though the steering locks into place which causes an issue with trying to control the steering as well as issues with turning the wheel while driving the vehicle. This is a major safety concern. I took the vehicle to Buckeye Honda located at 2615 N Memorial Drive Lancaster, OH on [XXX] regarding my concerns. Keith Vanatter a technician at Buckeye Honda test drove my car and verified my concerns of a sticking steering wheel and recommended a replacement of the rack and pinion. A service advisor at Buckeye Honda named Jacob Lang informed me after the tech verified the issue with my vehicle that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced at a cost including parts and labor of $2798.57 because my vehicle is out of warranty since it has over 36,000 miles on it. I was highly upset over this and informed the service advisor that the car is a 2022 model and I purchased it brand new in 2022 and should not be having this kind of issue with the steering. I informed Mr. Lang that Honda should be responsible to fix the issue at no cost since there are open recalls and numerous reports which Mr. Lang verified of 2022 Honda Civic car owners having the same issue that mine is having and he advised that my car did not show a recall per the vin. Mr. Lang advised me to call Honda America and speak with them to see if they could do something about getting this fixed or meeting me half way on the cost, Honda America advised no since no recall information pertains to my vin.

| Feb 2024 | STEERING | My steering wheel is very sticky. It gets stuck when i’m driving and trying to turn. It is a safety concern because sometimes it is requires an effort for me to use my steering wheel when driving. my steering wheel has been assessed by Honda and they mentioned that it Hass to be replaced. However, since my car is out of warranty, I would have to pay for it or a portion of it. This should not be happening and it is a safety concern. Honda should offer a recall regarding this issue because a lot of vehicles are having this experience with their steering wheel. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | Steering wheel sticks while driving took it to Honda and they claim they test drove it for 12 miles and found nothing wrong with it. I took home the car and it’s still Doing what I took it in for. The steering either over steers or under steers (not sure if I’m explaining it correctly) kind of like when lane assist is on.. the fight it gives you without indicating of a lane change well it does that at all times even when it is not on | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2024 | STEERING | The steering is sticky and have a hard time keeping in the middle of the lane without constant minor jerking. Very noticeable at high highway speeds above 40+ mph. This safety concern might cause over correcting in an emergency steering at highway speeds thus possibly losing control. I took it to the dealership and they said there was nothing wrong with the car. I let them know they were wrong. Technician test drove the car but never took it onto the highway. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | The steering wheel has been sticking when turning left and right, resulting in a not smooth turn. The steering wheel also sticks when making minor adjustments to direction while driving straight. Most noticeable at highway speeds of 65+mph This has happened every time I've driven the car for the past few months. I took it to Honda this week, 2/19/24 and they stated they could not replicate it, but one tech/service advisor did note that they did feel some stiffness Honda states they recalibrated the steering wheel | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | Having problems with the steering wheel, while driving my car, the steering wheel gets stiff and it is hard to maneuver causing the vehicle to pull. I feel very unsafe driving my vehicle on the road. I received a recall noticed, therefore I took my car to dealership but was informed that my car was not under recall, but was informed that I needed to replace the steering gearbox. I don't understand why my vehicle doesn't show as having a recall if I am having the same issue mentioned on the current steering rack recall. I have been waiting for my car to get fixed for over a month; the dealership is waiting for parts. Meanwhile I have to drive my vehicle with this problem because the dealership will not provide a rental due to vehicle's recall status. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | When driving on freeway or high speeds the steering wheel tends to get “sticky” or harder to turn and when I turn the wheel slightly I hear a clicking noise .This only happens when I drive the vehicle at highway speeds | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | The steering wheel feels like it is sticking which causes minor corrections to be over corrections. It’s like the steering wheel gets stuck and you have to force it to turn in order to make a correction. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | I began having intermittent problems with my power steering system several months ago. While driving at highway speeds, the steering wheel gets "stuck", and I have to use force to unstick it, which causes overcorrection at times and makes it difficult to keep the car in the proper lane. Since there was a recall on my car involving the steering rack, my husband took my car into the Honda dealership in Gainesville, FL and explained the problems I've been having with the sticky steering. They drove the car, but said they could not replicate the problem I described, so no repair was done, but they did inspect the recalled steering rack. There have never been any warning lights or messages when the symptoms appear. Since taking the car to the dealership, the problem with the steering has been getting progressively worse, making it very difficult to drive. I called the dealership again today, and have an appointment to take it in again tomorrow, February 20, 2024. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | Steering locks and is sticking after driving straight. Difficult to steer. Over correcting during driving causing lane change. DANGEROUS. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | After a little while (15-30 minutes) of driving at highway speeds on long stretches, at least 50mph the steering wheel is jerking around. My car has 31,000 miles on it. I had it in regularly for service. The car has been serviced by Honda twice, they have assured me that everything looked okay. Noting it was the the 'tires' that were the problem. or the alignment. I have paid nearly $1000 out of pocket and the car is still jerking. They checked my VIN for the recall but said it wasn't included, yet i'm still experiencing jerking of the wheel despite alignment, rotation and balancing of tires. I feel my safety is at risk because the steering will jerk suddenly while driving straight (at highway speeds) and makes it difficult to stay in my lane. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | My steering wheel pops and feels like it locks at 45 mph and up | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | My electric power steering system is causing the well known and documented "sticky steering" which is affecting the 2022 and 2023 Civics, CRVs, and some Acura models. My vehicle started this around 35,000 miles. I understand there is an ongoing investigation in progress, but would like to make a formal complaint to push for Honda to issue an official recall for this problem. The problem has been addressed by my local dealer, and they have ordered a replacement part that will supposedly fix the problem, by they could not give me an estimate for when the part would arrive. Therefore, I'm stuck driving a vehicle 50 miles a day to work and back which has very unsettling and potentially unsafe driving characteristics. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | 2022 Honda civic which I lease. We have noticed a problem with steering wheel sticking at times when adjusting or starting to turn.

| Feb 2024 | STEERING | After about 20 minutes of driving the steering wheel starts sticking. You have to put more effort into turning the steering wheel and once it comes unstuck, you slightly over correct and then have to turn back the other way which results in the same thing all over again because it keeps getting stuck. I put around 65,000 miles on the car and never had any problems until I carried the car in for the steering rack recall. They said my car was fine and it has been sticking ever since they checked it. I called them back and they said they didn't touch or adjust anything. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | When driving the steering wheel sticks and the car drifts whichever direction I’ve last turned the steering. I constantly have to fight the steering wheel to keep the car going straight. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | STEERING | Steering is sticking, so I am having to adjust my wheel, while driving straight. When I go around a curve or make a turn it's worse. I took my car to the dealership when I learned about the recall and they didn't tell me anything. I took it back to them 2/12/24 and the "service manager" said that my WA and WB stickers weren't the same numbers as the recall. EVEN though my vin number says my car has a recall. Service manager said he would send a form to Goodwill on getting it approved, Received a text from the service manager on 2/13/24 and he says now that his district sales rep hasn't given him the approval for the Goodwill.. Its NOT THEIR LIVES at DANGER and they DO NOT CARE....... | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
