There at times where the steering requires a little more effort to turn. This causes me to either over correct or panic a little bit that my steering wheel is "sticky".

-What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Unknown, possibly the steering rack and or power steering motor. -How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk Inability to safely maintain lanes and the wheel not returning to the center after a turn requires extra force (Especially60+MPH) to get the wheel moving again that causes over corrections and in turn swerving that can be very dangerous to me and others on the road especially after getting stuck during said over correction. -Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center" Yes, I took the car to the dealership said they were aware of some cars having this "sticky steering" and they did NOT get in the car to confirm the issue. -Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others" Yes, after I called the dealership about the steering issue, the dealership scheduled appointment for the car and held the car at the dealership for (I think 1) day for a recall for a similar issue description: "An improperly assembled steering rack may allow tires and/or tire chains to rub against the vehicle-??s lower suspension or tire rod end, which could cause tire damage." They gave the car back after the 1 day and said the car wasn't experiencing said issue of the tires rubbing and they updated some software. Nothing changed after getting the car back, they did not replace or service any parts of the car. The steering issue has gotten significantly worse since. -Any warning lamps, messages OrOther symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? I started noticing the steering wheel getting stuck when driving straight and requiring extra force to get it moving again, micro adjustments are really hard without over correcting. The wheel also started no longer returning to center and gets stuck off center and LKAS wont stayCenteredInLN

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!

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.
