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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
