When the car is been driving over 55 miles the steering wheel feels like sticky and stock. Most of the problem can be feel it on the highway. Is hard to drive like this because you have to put a lot of effort to drive in a straight lane. I took it to my local dealer and they said is normal but I know is not normal because this start after the 6,000 miles before that it was normal. Im scared if something happens while im driving with my family.
There is a possible steering rack issue with the 2023 CR-V in which there is a momentary "sticky" or resistant feeling when trying to make steering corrections in order for the vehicle to track in a straight line. This issue seems to be worsening over time, as the sticky feeling is evidently felt at speeds above 30-40 MPH. When driving long distances, it also develops driver fatigue as there is extra steering input required to drive straight. This problem has been reproduced/confirmed by the dealership, and the dealership will be replacing the steering rack to alleviate the issue. No warning lamps or messages appear regarding this problem. This particular vehicle has approximately 10,000 miles.

Electric Power Steering is binding/sticking when making minor adjustments to keep vehicle centered in lane when driven on a straight road. When you apply more torque to overcome sticking steering it will release with a little jerk to the steering wheel and then overcorrect making it difficult to keep vehicle centered in your lane. This is less noticeable at slower speeds while more noticeable at higher speeds. This issue starts after a 15 to 30 minute drive. On icy roads the sticking steering and resulting overcorrection can cause you to loose control of vehicle which creates a safety hazard. Issue started in October of 2023. Raised issue with Honda Dealer when I had oil changed. Dealer recommended I bring vehicle back if problem persists. No warning lamps or messages have appeared. I will be returning vehicle to Dealer for evaluation.
Steering is sticky, even with lane assistance turned off. Steering wheel resists efforts attempting to manipulate it when trying to make changes in direction, whether for turns, adjusting for curves in the road. or straightening position in lane. Steering wheel does not operate smoothly - must fight the wheel with every input. Issue is not intermittent, it is persistent, happens at all speeds, and is getting progressively worse.

issue related to Honda Sticky Steering problem. Problem is being investigated in over 530,000 2022-2023 Honda Civic, 2023 Honda CR-V and 2023 Accura Integra vehicles. I own a 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid and would like to report that I am experiencing the same issues with Sticky Steering and am adding my concern to the list of other car owners with similar issues. I hope that a recall will be instituted to fix this serious safety problem/defect. It is my understanding that the NHTSA has now upgraded the investigation and look forward to a speedy resolution to fix the problem. Honda issued a TSB 23-037 back in July which told dealers to replace the electronic power steering gearboxes on 2022-2023 Civics if customers complained about sticky steering. A recall or similar order needs to be established to fix same issue with 2023 Honda CRV's.
The steering wheel seems "sticky" as in it feels as though it gets "stuck" in intervals typically after traveling several miles at highway speeds. It requires excess force to adjust and move the steering wheel once it "sticks" and is exceptionally noticeable while driving a straight path and having to adjust the wheel left/right in minor increments to follow the straight path. Occasionally I even overcompensate with force to "unstick" its position and have drifted over the center road line in the process which I instantly thought the first time it happened could prove dangerous if another driver were directly beside me in an adjacent lane. I will be having the vehicle assessed by the dealer in the next couple of days. No warning lamps indicate any problem with steering or steering components. This issue started somewhere around 4-5,000 miles and is progressing with continued vehicle use.
As you drive the car, the steering wheel sticks/ binds/ freezes and every second the driver must move the steering wheel to correct the direction of the vehicle. It is a very serious safety issue. I am advised that the part necessary for the fix is on back order along with 18-20 others.
After driving for a period of time, the steering exhibits "sticky" behavior. By this I mean that there is unexpected and unusual resistence to the steering of the vehicle. This behavior developed over a period of time - when new, the vehicle did not exhibit such behavior. While I cannot assert that this is unsafe, it certainly does not instill a sense of security or safety in driving the vehicle. I believe this needs to be investigated.
Same issue as Honda Civic "Sticky Steering". Once you start to get above 40 MPH, you feel a sticking point in the steering (left and right) when trying to make minor lane adjustments.
This vehicle has a binding sensation in the steering when at the steering wheel is at the center, i.e. vehicle going straight. When making small adjustments to stay in a lane, some extra effort is needed, then once that is overcome, the steering wheel moves normally. There were no warnings apparent on the dash, nor has the vehicle been inspected by a dealer, as this began to occur on a long road trip. The road surface does not seem to affect the behavior. When lane-keeping is active, you can still feel the binding as the electric motors for the steering overcome the sticky area. The vehicle is available for inspection. I hope to have it evaluated by a dealer soon. This did not cause any accident or out-of-control situation, however I am concerned this may be a precursor event to a larger failure of the steering.
