Usually in the mornings there is a loud sound that comes out of the vents. I have it recorded. It sounds somewhat like crackling. One time when my car was in the shop I was given a loner of the same type of car and I heard it in that car as well. Today was the most recent occurence. 6/12/24.
When driving, I feel like I have to fight the wheel to steer. It feels "sticky" and must constantly be corrected, particularly when driving on a straight road at interstate speeds. This has been confirmed by a dealer. I originally took it to the dealer because it began squeaking when hitting uneven spots in the road. This has been reproduced by the mechanics. The steering problem began shortly afterwards. I also took it in for the steering rack recall, but they did not replace it. They have replaced a strut and lubed the car, which helped temporarily, but the problems began again soon afterwards. The squeakiness began in late September followed by the steering problems around December or January. The steering seems worse when the weather is cold.
I got my recall done already, however, the problem is getting worst after 2 weeks of regular driving. The steering will suddenly gets hard/stiff when driving. It makes it hard to turn and it's dangerous when driving on freeway. I almost got into an accident on the freeway because the car in the front change lane last minute without signalling, and at the time my stiff steering acting up and cause the delay of turning.

* Steering wheel binds while turning left, usually around 3 degrees. Breaks free with very light touch. * Steering wheel can kick to the left while returning to neutral from a right turn * Steering wheel was strongly kicked to the left about 6 degrees while going up hill. * Going up or downhill greatly increases the incident rate. The vehicle was taken in several times for this issue. It was taken in for a recall notice, and they said they checked the parts to find nothing wrong. I'm - very - certain they did nothing. My car has since been removed from the recall notice on Honda's website. They were only to recreate the issue once since then with zero resolution.
The steering wheel sticks about 70% of the time I drive the car. I have to use more pressure to make minor adjustments than normal. I'm guessing it's the steering rack or something similar. It takes my focus away from other things I should be paying attention to while driving. I need this fixed ASAP.
My went to the Honda dealership and i advised them that the paint on my brand new Honda Civic was peeling. They said they can't do anything and to report it to muy insurance. I have pictures of how horrible my car is getting
After sitting outside for 9 hours during a heavy rain storm and then driving for 30 minutes in the same storm, water is somehow entering the trim of the rear hatch, then draining into the trunk space via inside trim panel seams near the taillights. Water is entering the vehicle cabin trunk.

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.
On a recent outing, I began to smell smoke and assumed it was from a nearby brush fire. In less than a minute after I first smelled smoke my vehicle began to shake. Suddenly my warning lights flashed and a puff of smoke came out from my hood near my windshield. I lost power in my vehicle as well as my steering and braking ability. Fortunately I was able to pull to the side of the road, at which point flames began to shoot out from the hood. The vehicle then became engulfed in flames and is now a total loss.
Less than 5,000 miles on car. Brake pedal, when pushing it down, began to vibrate / not go down smoothly. After a couple days of this, my brakes made a loud grinding sound when stopping or releasing the brake. Normally brakes will start to squeak before you reach a grinding sound. Again, less than 5,000 miles on this car, so way too soon to be dealing with this issue. Wiper fluid for the front has NEVER worked, even when full. It works for the back. I asked the techs who changed my oil to check it out and they could not find the issue; they recommended I take it to the dealership and suggested it may be a recall. I am getting it serviced tomorrow at a Honda service repair location near me. They said they will cover it since it is under the 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty. I hope that is true.
Steering wheel has a sticking feeling, more noticeable at higher speeds. Seems to require more force to make small corrections, which results in over correction.
I started the car and had multiple system warning lights come on. They are electric power steering, tpms, vehicle stability assistance, low speed assist, lane keep assistance. I took to dealer and was told they don't know what problem is and was not covered under warranty. Car has less than 5000 miles on it. The car is available for inspection and the problems have not been fixed to date
There are issues with steering possible lane assist. I took it to Honda to be accessed, initially the rep tried to tell me there was nothing wrong/ didn-??t understand the issues I was having. Then I was told it was a small hose that was constantly triggering lane assist feature and that they needed to take the dash apart and install this part they claim they special ordered. I left my car at the service center for several days. They reported they had replaced defective part And the issue had been resolved however, It-??s been 2 weeks and the car is worse than before. The steering wheel is stiffer than before and makes a clicking sound when turning any direction. I-??m afraid of an accident because the issue forces the driver to constantly. The service guy claimed it-??s not dangerous just something annoying. I feel frustrated because this shouldn-??t be happening with a car that I just 1 year old
