| Jan 2024 | STEERING | For several months, the steering wheel has been sticking (slightly left and right of center) when traveling at highway speeds. It’s almost feels like we have to push it past a break point. The car was just serviced approx two weeks ago, and no issues were reported by the dealer. They did not drive it at highway speeds, so we assume they only checked for codes. This is of concern, as the car is driven through mountains often and the need to make subtle turns n the steering wheel are essential. The issue requires extra effort to keep the car straight between lines. The car could be made available for inspection with prior notice. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | STEERING | Steering feel sticky while driving or at idle. I feel resistance while turning the wheel. At stop if I slowly turn the wheel you can definitely feel it being sticky. I have take the car to the dealership and as usual they told me it's normal. They are many many other people who have same complaint. There should be a recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Starting from low speeds, you have constantly correct the steering. As you are driving, the steering automatically motions to the right. This causes u to correct the steering constantly, even at low speeds. Speeds of 45, it becomes dangerous. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | Driving down the high way at about 55-60 miles an hour went to overtake a vehicle and brake system light, and flashing parking brake late came on all systems such as cruise control, lane mitigation, lane keep assist, brake assist and reduced braking performance messages came up on the dash about the foruth time this happens, had gone to the dealer before for the same issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | STEERING | The steering rack is malfunctioning, causing a sticky feel through the steering wheel. - This is potentially dangerous because the car will not straighten up without considerable effort when leaving a curve. The car will also wander in it's lane because the stickiness in the steering wheel makes it impossible to make minor corrections. - I am in contact with the dealership to have it inspected, it is out of warranty so it will most likely not be covered without a service bulletin. - There are no warning lights whatsoever. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | STEERING | At highway speeds, I feel a stickiness/resistance when I make adjustments to steering. It feels like there is glue or something sticky stopping me from adjusting the wheel. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | STEERING | Vehicle steering wheel begins to get stuck/locked in position when turning on high and low speeds after driving the car for about 20-30 mins. Becomes very unsafe on the high way when taking curves at high speeds and having to forcefully turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction to unlock or unstick the steering wheel. Problem persist at low speeds when driving in the city at and making sharp turns. In a few occasions I’ve almost gotten into an accident by nearly swiping vehicles trying to keep the steering wheel straight. I took in the car on 1/2/24 to Galpin Honda to look into the problem/recall and they stated nothing in wrong with the vehicle and returned the car into my possession. The problem still persist after leaving the dealer. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING,AIR BAGS | 10/19/2023 NHTSA recall 23V-704, Manufacturer recall YFW 10/28/2023--I rented a 2022 Honda Civic from National at airport. Leaving the airport initially I didn't notice an issue. But after traveling several miles at highway speeds, on changing lanes or making minor adjustments in direction, I noticed the steering wheel felt like it would stick, then release allowing the car to change direction, stick, then release allowing the car to change direction. This happened with each adjustment of the steering wheel. This did not occur driving at slower speeds. 11/2/2023--I had driven west from Miami Beach on Tamiami US Highway 41 and had entered Cypress National Preserve. I had reached about the midpoint between Miami Beach and Naples, missed the left turn to highway 94. Realizing I had missed my turn, I was driving about 45 mph looking for somewhere I could safely turnaround. I saw a road off to the left, slowed to make a left hand turn. While continuing to brake, I started to make the left hand turn. About 30-45 degrees into the turn, the car stopped responding to my turning the steering wheel. LOST STEERING. Car was headed for the ditch and guard rail. I continued to turn the steering wheel left but it had no effect. I continued to brake and slowed the car as I went through the ditch before hitting the guard rail. I did not hit the steering column, my passenger did not hit the windshield. The airbags did not open. My phone automatically called 911. A couple from Tennessee stopped to help us. This happened at dusk and it quickly became very dark. They stayed with us over 2 hours until National's tow truck arrived and then they drove us back to our hotel, 50+ miles each direction out of their way. The tow truck could only take one of us and we could not get Uber or Lyft to go that far out of Miami. No warning lights or messages prior. As of 12/31/2023 NHTSA website indicates this recall still incomplete. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING | Same issue as 400 other people the steering sticks when Turing and I have to apply force to get it it go back to center, can’t drive straight down the road past 50 it’s like I’m a drunk driver anytime I’m on the freeway I’ve had the alignment checked and it’s in spec manager at Honda approved rack replacement but no eta it has been 2 months now and I’ve already almost crashed the car and a police officer pulled me over because I was back and forth in my lane so much thank god he understood my problem and let me go and the dealer won’t give me a lender because it’s “not dangerous” I saw somebody else post it’s going to take a death before Honda does anything | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING | Steering requires unusual effort. This feels completely different than a car without power steering - it's as if the steering is a bit rigid when steering right or left but loosens up once the initial rigidity is overcome by the driver. Risk is that I didn't know whether I had full control of the car. Quite scary. Problem has not been reported to Honda. No inspections have taken place. No warning lamps, messages. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE | I’ve been having issues few months after I bought the car from Honda dealership. I took it back and forth to them and they said there was an issue but did nothing. The recalls about the steering came up and I don’t feel safe driving the car but last week I took it and they said there was nothing wrong. Steering is sticky. I’m all over the road having to make corrections 90% of the time I’m driving. Without the lane assist it does it. With the lane assist on the car won’t even stay straight due to the problem. its very unsafe & aggravating to own a car paying so much a month for a newer car and with issues. An alignment was done and the steering wheel cannot be put straight even. It’s definitely a safety problem. Honda wants to do nothing about it due to parts and labor being $2800 and change and they’d be losing money it’s my thought. Thinking about doing lemon law because it’s very unsafe to drive the car and it’s rare when the car shows no problem at all. I shouldn’t have to make corrections the whole time I’m driving. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING | Steering is binding at highway speeds. I am unable to keep the vehicle in between one lane steadily because every time I make small corrections the steering wheel sticks and causes an over correction which is extremely dangerous. The problem has been inspected and diagnosed by a Honda dealership. I have been told I need a new steering rack and pinion. Upon researching this issue I have found thousands of other 2022 Honda Civic Sedan owners having the same issue with their vehicles, including another individual at the Honda dealership the same exact day I went to address my problem. This is a safety concern and it needs to be addressed and recalled for the safety of all those involved with this year, make, and model car. There were previous recalls with 2023 and 2024 civics due to similar issues with the steering rack and pinion. The 2022 also needs to be considered as it is very dangerous and can lead to bigger issues as the severity of my steering problem has increased as my mileage has gone up. Every single time I drive over 30 miles per Hour my steering wheel begins binding. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING | Steering feels weird and the car just can’t drive STRAIGHT. It’s been like this since I bought the car and I thought it was the alignment but it wasn’t | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING | At highway speeds there starts a sticky sensation in the steering. If I’m holding the steering to the left it also feels like it sticks and fails to come back to the middle, but if I apply a little pressure it loosens immediately. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE | When driving at mainly 35MHP+ the steering has a “catch” to it. They refer to this as “sticky steering”. Took the car into the Honda dealership and they confirmed the issue. Parts are on back order with no ETA available. This problem has been ongoing for months now and still nothing is being done about it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING | The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at slow and at high speeds, the steering was sticking, which required added effort in steering the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but no fault was found, and no repairs were performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING | I just hit 30k miles on my civic. And I started noticing the sticky steering. It feels like the steering wheel gets stuck. This is a headache for all 11th gen civic owners. REPLACING THE STEERING RACK DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WE NEED A LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA!!!!!!!! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Dec 2023 | STEERING | The beginning of November 2023 while driving on the interstate, I started to notice difficulty keeping the car in the lane from side to side in the lane with minimal adjustment to the steering wheel. When I return from my trip I brought it to Honda dealership to have it looked at. They said they couldn’t duplicate the issue that was it about 17,000 miles now I’m at 19,000 miles. The issue is getting worse today while driving on the interstate I barely touched the wheel to correct it to stay in the lane And it pulled to the left causing me to have to pull on the wheel to the right to keep it in the lane. I was not using any of the lane keeping assist safety features. This tends to be worse at higher speeds which is why the dealership says that they can’t duplicate the issue you have to get on the interstate with the car. It is noticeable, but not as bad driving around town. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE | The electronic power steering system in the Honda Civic is failing. Steering wheel frequently “sticks” causing the driver to oversteer, in order to “unstick” the power steering mechanism. Power steering is notchy and sticky feeling, increasing in persistence. The vehicle feels unstable, thus unsafe for continued driving. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING | My Steering wheel is getting stuck on high speeds, causing me to unwillingly Change lanes trying to correct the stuck steering wheel I took the car to the dealership for recall, said it wasn't the part they're looking for Service writer took it for a test drive and was unable to verify happens within 30 minutes of driving. I believe it's a faulty electric power steering. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING | While driving, my car steers both to the left and right and when I correct it, the steering wheel and tires are stiff as if the tires are sticking to the ground. I also have to drive with both hands gripping the steering wheel firmly to stop the car from over correcting. It has gotten more difficult to steer the car. All of the driver assist features are turned off. This car is unsafe for me as well as other drivers on the road. I received the EPS recall notice inspection and took my car into Gerald Jones Honda in Augusta Georgia and was told that there wasn’t a defect but I am continuing to have this problem. I have an appointment today to take my car back. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
