1. When steering to the left, the steering "sticks" and takes additional force to return the steering wheel to other positions. This happens only when steering to the left. 2. This led to inconsistent steering which caused the vehicle to wander from the desired direction. 3. The vehicle has not yet been to the dealer. Inquiry with the dealer shows that there are no recalls or safety bulletins for my VIN. I can reproduce the issue. 4. The vehicle has not been inspected as of yet. 5. There are no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms.

Steering has developed a click and constant correction to maintain a straight line. Alignment did not help. Vehicle will sometimes begin to track to the right or left on its own. I know that a few vehicles were recalled for this electric steering/rack problem, but, mine wasn't one. This is pretty serious and expensive to repair. My local mechanic quoted around $4000. Taking it the Honda dealer next week for their estimate and diagnosis. This condition is now fairly constant.

Steering wheel sticks when turning, as has been reported by many others. It becomes difficult to make even small movements with the steering wheel and is a clear safety issue. When the issue first began, my car had only 30K miles on it - it now has 34K, and the problem has gotten materially worse. I see that this problem exists in recent CR-V models as well, so this appears to be a systemic issue.

While driving on the interstate highway, I noticed that my steering wheel was sticking in one position and small adjustments in direction were causing a jerking moment in the car's trajectory. This issue began with approximately 34000 miles on the vehicle and was most notable on the highway where small adjustments to the direction of travel were required. This issue has become increasingly worse with time and is noticeable now even in city driving. I researched the issue and found a recall for some Civics and CRVs titled Steering: Electric Power Assist (Recall Date:2018-09-26, #18V663000). I have been told by Honda that my car was not affected by this recall, but my car has the problem! Vehicle has 37700 miles on the odometer now with an appointment for diagnosis and repair later in June. Obvious safety issue!

The steering wheel feels like it-??s catching/sticking when driving. I felt like I was losing control of my Honda when driving on Interstate at speed of 60-65. Had to go at Lower speed just to get back home safely. Cancelled our trip. When turned wheel to left, I also felt it was sticking. Husband felt it on interstate too. I have brand new tires and wheel alignment, still problem. I had enough. Car only has 40115 miles on it. I took in Pensacola Honda dealership 05/29/24 they said the Steering gear motor has to be replaced. It not under warranty for us and very expensive.

When adjusting steering, the vehicle acts as if thw steering wheel is stuck. After applying increased force, the steering wheel will break free, cause the vehicle to swerve at high speeds. This problem has been reproduced by a shop and a professional service technician. When Honda dealership was questioned about it, they revealed a recall for very specific group of 2018-19 CRVs that had an issue with the torque sensor magnets becoming dislodged or unaligned. I believe this issue has inpacted this vehicle in addition to the others, because the technicians could not find any other faults within the vehicle steering system. No warnings or lights illuminated on dash either.

Purchased vehicle March 6,2024. On the test drive I noticed some front end passenger issues and jerking of steering wheel while driving. I was assured it was a tire issue and alignment. I put new pads, rotors, calipers on front end and bought new tires. Car is still jerking from side to side while trying to steer no matter the speed but worse over 50 MPH.

There is persistent sticky steering issue with my 2018 CRV. It started around 45,000 miles. My steering wheel feels as if it gets stuck when making slight turns. It is very difficult to drive a straight line due to constantly fighting the steering. I have complained several times over the past several years at the Honda dealership and each time I was told they couldn-??t mimic or find the problem. I just went back in and demanded to ride along with a tech because it-??s getting worse. They are telling me it needs a new rack and pinion and the cost is $3700 because it-??s out of warranty.

this is my second statement - my 2018 honda crv has a steering issue that began at about 75,000 miles - currently there is 86,000 miles - honda did a diagnostic test for $175 and told me the test showed no error codes - they then informed me the steering rack needed to be replaced at a cost of about $3000 but the replacement part is on back order until september 2024 - this crv is my only mode of transportation and i am concerned this steering issue is a danger - i have read that many honda's are having this steering issue but not all are being recalled - shouldn't honda fix this issue on all of their models ? thank you and have a nice day !

- Pacolet, SC, USA

About one month ago I began to notice an unusual -??kicking-?? sensation in my vehicle-??s steering wheel associated with a -??clicking-?? sound. It has gotten worse since then. I brought my vehicle to my mechanic where a faulty electronic power steering assembly was diagnosed. I was informed by them that this is an issue with many of the Honda CRVs made in 2022 and prior. Mine is a 2018. The cost of the repair is several thousand dollars. I have been advised by my mechanic to avoid unnecessary driving, especially on the freeways as this assembly could fail at any time. The replacement part is apparently very difficult to get even from Honda dealerships.
