| Oct 2023 | STEERING | The steering on my 2022 Honda Civic EX started to feel “sticky” while just off center at highway speeds starting at about 11.7k miles. I’ve noticed it starts around low 40s MPH and usually continues to mid 50s MPH. It makes a kind of clicking feeling when I first start to turn the steering wheel for minor steering adjustments. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | I brought my 2022 Honda civic touring model to dealer for a defective steering wheel issue and they said everything was ok. There is a recall on car as well. I drive 100 miles a few times a week and I personally feel the sticky steering wheel which causes me to over steer, and I don’t feel safe driving vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | The steering wheel feels like it’s sticks. It’s very hard to drive on the road jerk from side to side because of how hard it is to manage the wheel while driving because of how stuck it feels. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING,SUSPENSION | Have sticky issue . My vin was due for a recall took it in . Like always "couldn't replicate the issue" so no fix was provided . Vehicle was not fixed just cleared from recall. All dealers are going to say that just clear it and say there's no issue . Something else needs to be done . They said my tint was causing the issue but I had the issue was before tint was applied . Has completely nothing to do . No rental was given . Waste of my time and money . My steering has completely lost steering twice already intermediate then comes back . | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | Steering wheel is sticky. It usually happens when I’m driving on the highway at high speeds. I have taken the car to the dealer ship and they concluded that there was nothing wrong with it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | Steering gets tight over 50mph and requires more effort to steer. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | when driving, especially 45+ mph, micro steering (0-> 1degree or 0 -> 359 degree) when straight (making micro adjustments) has too much resistance and requires more force -I feel like I’m fighting the steering wheel. I’ve brought it to a certified Honda dealer, and the technician told me he couldn’t duplicate the problem. No warning lamps either. I just have to hold the steering wheel tighter & put more force when making micro adjustments to keep car straight. This presents an issue, as I was on the highway going around a curb, and steering got so sticky I had to put more force than usual to take my car out of the turn. A collision could have happened. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | Steering is sticky when driving above 40 mph. Mainly on the highway. The steering wheel sometimes becomes stuck when driving through a curve and doesn't go back to the same position. I think this can be very dangerous. Scheduled to take it to the dealership. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES | The steering system has failed and also the brake system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The Steering wheel appears to be sticky, so I personally have encountered a few near miss incidents where I end up over turning because I have to use excessive force to turn. The problem has not been confirmed by the dealer or inspected by anyone but myself. Yes, there were warning lights as stated earlier. The brake system light and a few other lights came on after the incident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | I have a 2022 Civic that I bought almost 2 years ago & I have about 24k miles on it. But recently, I have had a super stiff wheel/audible feedback when steering. It first started about a week or so ago but I've been noticing it a lot more the more I drive. It used to be only at speeds above 50-60 but now it's above 20. Weirdly enough it would only be hard/stiff when steering to the left but now it's both ways. I don't drive it in the "Sport" mode, nor do I have it in lane keep assist. It's incredibly annoying and could be potentially dangerous since it won't correct itself, even my arm gets a little workout just driving it normally. My apartments have a speed bump that's kind of taller than normal, but other than that, I haven't been in a wreck or anything dramatic. I assume it has to be the steering rack & column. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | 2022 Honda Civic. When driving on highway or residential roads even the steering sticks and locks up. Having to put alot of effort into correcting causing an over correction and possible accident. Called Honda and had it towed to the shop. ITS NOT SAFE. This has happened on many occasions, it just gets worse with time. Happened not just 10/18. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | The steering is slightly sticky and makes some noises at times. It doesn’t return to place normally and will stay in place where it was last turned to. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | I have a sticking steering wheel issue. It mostly happens over 50 MPH but has started as low as 25 MPH recently. I haven't driven the car in almost 2 weeks now. When going in a straight line and trying to make small adjustments left or right to stay in the center of the lane, the steering wheel sticks and won't easily move. I have to put more force into making the slight adjustment then I normally would on any other vehicle I've driven and when it becomes unstuck, then you jerk towards the direction you were trying to make a small adjustment. It feels extremely dangerous and happens a lot. This occurs with or without the lane assist on. It happens from 25 MPH to 50 MPH but less frequently but it's still scary when it happens. I called for an appointment on September 22nd, 2023 and took it into the Honda dealership on September 25, 2023 and they experienced the same issue I described and ordered a new EPS system. I have attached the receipt they gave me. There were no warning lights that have appeared or have ever appeared during this issue. They told me that the part would arrive a little over a week. I called back on October 6th asking when the part would arrive. They told me that they changed the order status to critical so the part would arrive faster. I was informed I would be called back on Monday morning. I called back Monday afternoon and was informed that they couldn't give me an estimated arrival time on the part. I was upset and asked for a loaner vehicle because it feels dangerous to drive and they told me they didn't have one to loan. I was then told that a sales person could possibly help, or I could trade it in. I was transferred to a sales person who listened to my issue and then informed me that I could trade in that broken civic for a new car and the EPS issue wouldn't hurt my trade value. I was extremely mad and hung up. They seem more interested in getting me into a new loan rather than fix my current car that I've spent 9000 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | The steering wheel sticks when trying to make small movements like changing lanes. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | I reported the issue of steering being tight and sticking less than a year ago which opened and investigation from NHTSA. I had my ps rack replaced under extended warranty and hoped issue was resolved yet less than a year later the same exact issue is present. Steering is sticking, tight, notchy, and stays stuck at speeds above 50-80mph primarily to the left side steering. I took car back to dealership that replaced and was diagnosed with yet again a bad PS rack gear box and my extended warranty must cover it again. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | On this 2022 Honda Civic Sport the steering will become “sticky” or “stiff” at highway speeds after driving the vehicle for 15-20 minutes. It will become very difficult to make small steering corrections, with more effort needed to turn the steering wheel, resulting in almost over corrections. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | Steering is 'sticky,' difficult to make minor adjustments. Anytime I have to manipulate the steering wheel, it seems the force needed to free it is excessive. And if its bad enough, sometimes it will cause the car to turn too much due to the extra force used to free it. It's happening anytime around 40mph and greater. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | Hard to steer vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | Power steering is sticky | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | The steering wheel sticks sometimes | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | I have had this car a little over a year ago. I put 30k miles on it. for the last couple of months I noticed a steering issue where the steering wheel doesn't want to move (feels sticky or stuck) when you make a minor adjustment. you must over-steer or nudge it to move from the 12 O'clock position. In fact sometimes the steering wheel gets stuck while driving on a curve that I don't even need to steer/hold it at all (the car follows the curve because the steering wheel is stuck at an angle). this issue occurs at random speeds. I have experienced it at 2 miles speed, at 30 miles, and as fast as at 60+ miles. My tires have been checked and they are in great shape. I have had all typical maintenance done on it. when the vehicle is near stop sometimes you can hear a clicking noise when you make MINOR adjustments to the steering wheel. I took my car to the dealership and the mechanic confirmed the steering issue by test driving it. they informed me that they need to speak with technicians from Honda itself. Later that day they told me it's a known issue and they will replace my steering gearbox (ESP something) at no cost to me but they also didn't have the parts so I must wait ("on national back order"). | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | The steering wheel is shifting from side to side while driving and it will get stuck at times and make you over correct. It is a safety hazard because you have to pull the steering wheel the opposite way to get it unstuck. I have not taken it to the dealer yet. There were no warnings. I began to notice right after hitting 32000 miles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | The steering in my care has become "sticky" especially when you're driving over 45MPH. When you want to turn it slightly, you can't and you end up pulling and jerking the car left/right. Driving like this in the rain extremely scary and I'm concerned about overcorrecting and crashing my car going at high speeds. The steering is not smooth and just feels stuck all the time. I had to turn off lane departure because that makes it worse and I also can't use the steering assist feature since it just jerks the care left/right. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the steering wheel was sticking, slipping, and moving from left to right. Additionally, the steering was loose after switching to a higher fuel grade. The B1 code was illuminated and displayed indicating the oil and filter needed to be changed. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 70,000 |
| Oct 2023 | STEERING | The steering wheel sticks and causes overcorrection due to excessive force needed to steer vehicle. The vehicle was inspected by the dealership and repaired, but the after about 20,000 miles the problem is happening again. It is at its worst in a curve when trying to stay in the proper lane of travel. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
