I'm a 40 YEAR auto tech, steering is notchy when driving straight, constantly fighting to keep vehicle in my lane, in my opinion it needs a new steering rack and pinion
My steering wheel started jerking to the right when at about 40mph when it does this it feels like i loose steering briefly, dealer gave me the same ol routine answer cant duplicate problem so i started searching up info came across the 11th Generation civic forum and there are so many of the same complaints and some dealerships are fixing the problem ( steering rack) and some are getting told the same thing as i am! I am a single mother i cant keep missing work to go to dealership just to be turned away but i also dont wanna end up in an accident and leave my kids without a mother because honda doesnt wanna own up to a faulty steering rack
Steering wheel becomes stiff after a few minutes of driving. It feels sticky and it is hard to make small adjustments when driving in a straight line. Problem is noticeably worse at higher speeds. This has been happening for the last two months. Car has only 9000 miles.
1700 miles In the odo. Steering feels as if it gets stuck on high way speeds. Having to force it to keep the steering in the center. Definitely not normal. Started noticing it about 1500 on the odo only getting worse. Almost feels like the car is not aligned. Properly. Brand new car not staying straight is a concern of steering rack issues. Common for this car. Scared to report it to dealer they are only going to submit papers and say is completely Normal. Waste of time. This should be a recall

Steering wheel seems to get stiff and lock into center at highway speeds, causing to push hard on steering wheel to do minor corrections, car feels incredibly unsafe at highway speeds constantly having to fight the steering wheel. Many other drivers have this issue in forums. Dealer says they don-??t know how to fix that.
At highway speeds, steering sticks and requires excessive force to break resistance and provide input. This makes it difficult to make small corrections and causes swerving within the lane.
Steering wheel sticking after 2nd oil change 9,000 miles. on the highway and speeds over 45mph the steering wheel will stick and require force to move it from its position. It is not subtle and smooth like every car I-??ve driven before. A recall is I order for this steering column. Please look at all the other similar complaints on 2022 civics.
Sticky steering, drifting steering, hard to keep in a straight line. This is an ongoing problem which I first noticed in late November after having the car for several months. It seems to be getting worse. I took it to the dealer they said that it is normal, but I wonder how it could possibly be normal.
While driving for some time the steering feels notchy like it takes more effort than normal to steer from center (only occurs for the first 5-10 degrees either direction from center). This usually becomes noticeable when driving around 30+ minutes over 35MPH, and it causes LKAS to struggle to keep the car center in the lane. Definitely a safety hazard and seeing as there are a TON of others having this same issue across all trims levels. Does not prevent me from driving but is a potentially hazardous issue if it becomes worse than it is.
The car has 18K mikes and the steering sticks after driving for 30 minutes or so. It takes a slight jerk to get it unstuck and is a dangerous issue. It happens at highway speeds and slower speeds as well.
The steering seems to be sticking well driving in a straight line, and as you pull on the wheel, it will suddenly almost feel like it-??s clicking then move. I have seen many forums online of the same complaints and Honda is doing nothing about it. This is my daughters car and I want it to be safe. That-??s why I bought a new one. I was driving the car last night and it-??s seems very dangerous. The car only has 4600 miles on it and it-??s extremely noticeable.

The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that extra effort was needed while steering the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

While driving my car on the highway I'm noticing that my steering wheel often gets stuck if I've been driving straight for a while. When I feel it get stuck I have to apply pressure or pull it to get it to move. Sometimes when it gets stuck and I try to move it slightly it feels like the car is drifting off into the next lane. Almost as if the car is fighting me a bit. For example I will try to move it to the right but it gets stuck and goes to the left. This is very dangerous sometimes I get scared thinking what if it doesn't move one day and I crash into something or someone. It is very unsafe!
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
While driving the 2022 Civic Touring there is a noticeable stickiness to the steering almost as if the wheel will look up while trying to drive straight and pull the car to different sides of the road. Its almost like the first 5 degrees right or left are not registered, causing it to lock up. It originally was while driving straight mainly highway miles. Now it-??s becoming noticeable during day to day driving and turning. This is very unsafe considering the car can turn and steering wheel will not allow the driver to automatically correct because it is locked up. If you go to the dealership everyone pretends like it-??s unreal but check any forum and tons of people are experiencing these problems with 2022 Civics. I had a dealership tell me to my face that it is 100% "normal".
Vehicle has sticky steering that is noticble above 40 mph and gets worse as the vehicle goes faster. It does take considerable effort to steer at highway speeds as the resistance makes it difficult to not overcorrect when steering. When lane keep assist is on it can also be felt that it is struggling with the resistance in the steering. This started at around 5000 miles. The dealership states that it is the steering rack. There was no warning lamps. There is no tech safety bulletin or recall. This is a known problem and a potential safety issue.
