Steering wheel feels like it locks up and is very difficult to move intermittently. Safety risk due to inability to steer correctly results in inability to effectively control vehicle. Problem has not been reported to dealer however has been noted by others with same year model vehicles. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms appear.

I got this car (2022 honda civic touring) as preowned a little over 2 months ago. It had 39k miles. I inspected the car and thought it looked perfect and so I got it. In getting it, i opted out on getting extended warranty for personal reason. However the car had 60 days dealer warranty. After several times driving it, i noticed that my arms get sore. I thought it was just the way it drives. I drove one of my friends car which is the same car same year and it just drives way smoother. Mine is really sticky. I have to really put effort into keeping the wheel straight. When i make slight turns, the wheel doesnt go back to going straight, it gets stuck, so i have to pull it again to go straight. I heard about the recall on this car about the steering. I brought it in to honda but they said that my car isnt affected by it and that my part was okay. Due to my schedule i was only able to bring it in until almost the dealer warranty expires. However, they said that the car was fine, that they didnt notice the issue ive been experiencing. They told me that it drove good and advised me to get an allignment done. By the time the allignment place was able to get me in, the warranty had already expired and so i was really hoping that the allignment would fix it. Unfortunately, it didnt not. My steering is still so stiff/sticky. I dont know what to do.

The steering wheel is sticking when I drive at high speeds like 40 mph+ it gets stuck for a second. Does not feel safe to keep driving like that. It has been doing this for a while now.

When driving the steering wheel is -??sticking.-?? Seems to get stuck in certain positions.

- Erie, PA, USA

Steering is uneven and unpredictable, sticky. I suspect this is from the gearbox issue identified by others. Steering wheel feels firm when turning slightly then quickly releases, causing the car to over steer. This is most noticeable when at highway speed, typically 70 mph on my work commute. This has been getting worse. First noticed at about 20,000 miles, around a year ago. Car now has 35,800 miles.

2022 Honda Civic has developed a condition where the steering wheel has begun to catch when making slight adjustments from the neutral position of the steering wheel. It is becoming more prominent over the last week and I am concerned that it will take increasing force to overcome and causing an overreaction on the road when it overcomes the area where it catches.

- Williamsburg, VA, USA

Car has been exhibiting sticky steering problem. Small adjustments require above average force to keep centered and the car ends up over compensating.

- Homestead, FL, USA

The steering is sticking when correcting in the lane. The car is at a dealership now getting checked out. It puts others and your self in danger due to over correcting causing you to swerve. It-??s very scary. This is the second time this issue has happened. The first time it happened in December of 2023. It was repaired and retuned to me in January 2024. Everything was great until September 2024 that is when it started sticking again. It happens at hiway speeds in the beginning but after driving for about 30 mins it happens at 35 as well.

At highway speeds car steering gets stuck causing driver to correct steering, which causes car to bind. Extremely dangerous as in highway speeds can cause a hazard to driver as well as other drivers on the road.

About a year after I bought the car, I noticed that the steering wheel would slightly pull to the left. I, by the way, do not have the Lane Keeping Assistant on. Anyway, I went to a car repair shop, not the dealership, and they told me it was misaligned, so I got it aligned. However, the steering wheel kept doing the same thing. It pulls to the left ever so slightly and, at points, it gets stuck, so I have to constantly apply force in the opposite direction. It feels dangerous when driving on curved roads, specially at high speeds, because as I'm turning the wheel to one side, it sticks, so I have to constantly yank it in the opposite direction, and of course the car swerves a little bit. My car is available upon request. The manufacturer just told me that it was misaligned just like the people at the car shop I went to; however, I'm seeing more and more people suffering from the same problem, which is too much of a coincidence. There are no warning lamps, messages, or anything on display. And while the problem has not been confirmed or reproduced by the dealer, it's very noticeable when you drive the vehicle because it just seems like the wheels are not properly aligned. I have driven a misaligned car before, and the steering wheel never stuck like it does with this one.

Steering wheel will lock in place making it hard to move when driving and trying to stay within a lane. I have to use a bit of force and when I do move it, there is a clicking sound.

When driving on the highway and in the city the steering wheel intermittently becomes stuck, predominately veering towards the left and has to be jerked back to straighten the vehicle on the road. It had happened multiple times and will cause an accident because of the way the car veers back on the road. I have taken it to Honda dealership about 2 times regarding this issue and they do not drive it as specify to recreate the issue. The vehicle is available upon request, has been properly maintained and this issue persist, even before the date bélow of 9-4-24.
