22-24 Honda civic Steering rack recall I feel to have no control of my vehicle and that my life as well as others are put at risk. I took my car to Honda for the safety inspection for the active recall they falsely dismissed according to Honda corporate. Nothing has been inspected other than my safety inspection when the dealership passed my car. I scheduled an appointment for a diagnosis as corporate told me to do after speaking to them, but the dealer didn-??t do the diagnosis on my vehicle they just drove it and said it-??s driving normal but once we returned they ordered a whole new steering rack for my vehicle after the service department passed my vehicle, but then informed me they sent the steering rack back and that I needed to go to the dealership I purchased my car from which is 41 minutes away after I stated the driving conditions of my vehicle and the potential risk to myself as well as others on the roadway.-??refusal of service-?? Lane departure signal this started 1/17/24 to be exact but has became more of a quite frequent issue since then.
When driving at highway speed, the steering wheel will not continuously go straight it gets stuck a little the to the left or right and I have to constantly adjust the feeling is like a sticky feeling, it has nothing to do with alignment it is the steering wheel, it is almost as if the lane control sensor is on but it is not I have turned it off, it causes me to overcompensate and overcorrect the steering, dealership of course says they cannot replicate problem. Also when at a complete stop there is a grinding sound in the steering column.
Honda dealership "test drove and verified steering sticking at times." Dealership stated "steering gearbox has internal issue and needs replacement at this time. EPS rack and pinion ordered, currently backorder with no ETA." Part #: 53620-T22-A08 This VIN is not covered under the "23V704000" recall, but the replacement is covered under the Honda 3/36 warranty.
The steering on the 2022 civic will get stuck when in a continued turn or when trying to do small adjustments at highway speeds. It will at times cause over correction which will make you cross over into the next lane. It is unsafe to not be able to perform small steering adjustments at high speeds without jerking the wheel. It seems to be a steering rack issue. The vehicle is a certified preowned with no recalls or maintenance records of steering fixes. The dealer has not yet been contacted but is the next step. The problem has been noticed by multiple drivers. It feels as if you are fighting against the lane assist just to make a small adjustment in the center of a lane.

When traveling above 60MPH the steering become "Sticky". When attempting to change lanes at high speeds the steering wheel will start to lock up and extra force is needed to get the steering wheel to start turning, causing a jerking motion going into the turn.
While driving, steering becomes sticky. Have to use a little more force to make small adjustments to turn the wheel. It had been happening for a while but I finally just took it into the dealership for a different recall check. Dealer told me it was not recalled part but the rack and pinion and it was not covered so I would have to pay out of pocket. I made claim through my insurance Mechanical Breakdown and they paid for repairs. After fixing, I found that this is a very common issue and don't feel like I should have been made to pay for this repair.
The steering rack assembly or EPS is malfunctioning, which causes -??sticky steering-?? at highway speeds. When making small turns for curves on highway, the steering wheel will stick which causes me to need to jerk the steering wheel to adjust. Seems very unsafe, especially in hazardous weather (ex. Rain, snow, etc).
Steering wheel is sticky at highway speeds. Dealership was not helpful. Car is unsafe to drive and should be recalled. Especially unsafe in rainy/snow weather conditions.
My car has been having sticky steering issue which is know tobthe dealership. When i first experienced it i was rold everything is working as normal at at that time it was as bad now after my warranty has expired it has worsen and very noticeable everytime i drive. Especially at high speed at curves my steering wheel get stuck and makes it very difficult to make adjustment. My warranty is expired and this is not something that happened to my car only, there are many many other driver in a same position. Honda knew about this issue and it should recall and fix this free of charge.
The steering is "sticky" especially at highway speeds when turning the wheel from center (straight) to any curve. This has become increasingly worse and causes the vehicle to "jerk". Yuba City Honda indicated they could not fix this issue as it is a known issue to Honda and there is no fix. This makes me fearful to drive my vehicle and worried it may cause an accident.
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.
When driving, the steering wheels gets stuck and won't maneuver without jerking it back causing the driver to get steered in an unknown lane or direction. I took it to the dealership and they put a replacement steering column in acknowledging the issue; however, they one they put on has not been corrected from the issue it causes, so it's only a temporary fix if they haven't fixed what causes the issue in the first place.
The steering wheel sticks especially at highway speeds. It gets sticky and when I try and turn the wheels slightly, like on a freeway curve, it jolts loose and causes car to swerve. Recently this started happening at lower speeds as well. The steering wheel cracks when turned and sticks.
I have a 2022 Honda Civic Sport with approximately 32,000 miles. Over the last few weeks, the steering has become -??sticky-??. Issue usually appears almost immediately driving on a straight road. The steering wheel becomes sluggish and additional effort is required on the driver to maintain lane position. This requires the driver to use additional force to maintain without slipping. No warning lights appear for this issue. Car functions otherwise as normal. Issue has been reported to Honda dealership that I purchased from. At high rate of speeds 50+ it takes additional force to maintain lane and at times does affect the safety of the vehicle. I am concerned this issue could become worse overtime. I am hoping issue will be resolved via Extended Warranty.
Steering wheels seems to be getting stuck. Caused a collision while driving. Noticed that the issue is more prominent at higher speeds. Honda of America has declined repairing the issue.
I bought my 2022 Honda Civic last week. I knew going into my purchase that there was comments about sticky steering, I didn't notice it much while test driving. I loved my 17 civic that I had to replace (unrelated) and fell in love with the look of the new civics so I went through with the purchase. A week after purchase I definitely notice sticky steering when making micro adjustments while driving above 50 mph. Specifically when turning the wheel over the 0 degree mark of the wheel, there is noticeable increased resistance. I notice it while turning at certain points as well. The wheel also does not self correct very well. Say you let go of the wheel to allow it to naturally straighten, it will get stuck at times. I'm not that large of a guy, but I do go to try to stay active so I am able to power through the sticky moments, but it is certainly annoying and unsafe at times. For an inexperienced driver or smaller individual it could definitely lead to accidents. I really hope there is a recall for this.
