Immaculately kept and cared for 2022 civic with 8,000 miles on it has -??sticky-?? and/or -??binding-?? steering, which came on out of nowhere a week or two ago. The problem is more pronounced at highway speeds, but is starting to become noticeable at residential street speeds (25-35mph) too. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY LESS THAN YEAR OLD CAR! Brought it to the dealership yesterday and they actually acknowledged the problem and recommended -??a whole steering gearbox replacement-??, which is under warranty, but the part has at least a month lead time. Unacceptable! Most dangerous incident took place when I was turning onto my street and in mid-turn the steering wheel got stuck making me have to apply more than normal force and making an over correction. Thankfully, nobody was around so I didn-??t hit anyone, but it could have been bad if there was a car in the opposing lane.
The car has 13,000 miles. The steering sticks on the Highway and over corrects When having to unstick it. It feels very unsafe to drive. Took it to the dealer and they said could not find anything wrong. It started doing this recently was fine up to now. Don-??t feel safe at all driving it and there is a clunking sound when making turns or backing out of a parking space.
This issue has been occurring since my vehicle had approximately 10,000 miles on it. Currently has around 16,000 miles on it. Sticking of the steering wheel while at traveling speeds and near-straight direction. Generally happens for the entire duration of the drive, occurring after the steering wheel has been stationary for more than a second or two. Most noticeable when at faster/highway speeds. Problem will be reported to the dealer. This can very in intensity and require different amounts of effort to overcome the sticking. It causes annoyance in keeping the vehicle straight or slightly curved, and making very minor steering inputs can be difficult. This could create a safety issue if not expecting it or cause minor over-correction when the pressure releases while traveling on contaminated roads. Seems to happen more often in cool temperatures between 45 and 65 degrees, and regardless of LKAS or other driver assist system functions being on or off.
When im driving, my steering wheel doesnt return to center on its own, even when turning the slightest bit. I have to apply force and it-??s dangerous especially on the freeway.
30+ mph steering becomes sticky / notchy that requires over-correction to fix, making it uncomfortable and dangerous to drive, particularly on the interstate. When using Lane Keep Assist, it pulls to one side or the other, crossing the line, and then autocorrects when the lane departure warning is activated, only to repeat this process consistently. There are no error codes on the car and local dealerships have not yet heard of a solution. There are currently no recalls or official statements from Honda regarding this issue.
Since I've owned the car, when driving above 40 mph(when lkas may engage), with lkas off, the steering becomes statically neutral... I. E in a turn the steering wheel will remain in the turned position when pressure on the wheel is reduced. In this case the steering wheel( as well as the front wheels themselves) should straighten out as you continue to move. This is dangerous. Also, at highway speeds, in order to maintain the center of your lane small inputs to the steering wheel are normally required. In this vehicle, there is resistance to these small inputs. When the force of your input finally overcomes the resistance in the steering wheel the wheel turns more dramatically than intended(overcorrection). This is also dangerous. This also occurs with lkas off. It's almost like lkas engages the steering column preemptively above 40 mph but in a dangerous manner. I have less than 3000 miles on the car.
Steering wheel has some resistance when trying to correct while driving. It feels as if though the steering wheel is getting stuck and I have to force it when trying to correct the car when going straight.
The issues started around 3000 miles. When I turn the steering wheel to stay on the road around a slight curve, it will not naturally return to the center and I have to manually pull it back. It makes it feel like the car is wandering and if it gets much worse it will be unsafe. My car now has 5500 miles and is exhibiting a light -??catch-?? or stickiness when making small adjustments (mostly noticed on the highway). My dealership is useless and rude and says that they will charge me a fee if they do not find anything wrong with the car, even though it is well under warranty. My concerns were confirmed by a mechanic shop in my area who acknowledged the steering oddity.
notchy or sticking of steering wheel when driving and low or highway speeds. Less than 8,000 miles on the car and started within the last 1,000 miles. Issue is present with and without driving assist featured enabled/disabled.
When driving at normal and highway speeds with or without Lane Keep Assist activated steering rack gets stuck in position. When trying to maintain lane the steering wheel will lock and to release you must steer turn the wheel past this point of resistance. When this happens the car may end up leaving the roadway or entering another lane of traffic. The car has 53,000 miles and the warranty for this part is out however this is a known problem surfacing in forums with cars under 5000 miles. I feel this should be a recall due to the steering not functioning safely. This problem is getting worse over time and just started a couple weeks ago.
Our 2022 Civic Touring started exhibiting weird steering behavior about 3000 miles in. With higher speeds, the steering "sticks" and requires slight, but manual force to free it. Usually, the stickiness happens and the car veers slightly to the left, I have to pull right to free the steering wheel again. This is dangerous as it can invite over compensation when correcting the locked steering, at best creates a jerky movement when correcting, at worst, over correction can cause accidents. Honda is not acknowledging this issue.
when driving straight on highway steering wheel gets stuck at center causing jerking/ oversteering when trying to make small adjustments on highway. turned off all lane keeping assistance and lane departure options with no change. have had vehicle for almost one year and issue just started about one month ago. multiple other owners having same issue from online forums with dealers stating no problem

Despite multiple attempts to correct and/or tighten, Vehicle exhibits loose ball control contact and unstable steering at low speeds. An audible roughness and response is heard when driving. Multiple Dealers have diagnosed and repeatedly attempted to remedy. Honda America Tech support has yet to offer any workable solutions. Will continue to pursue a solution to make the automobile completely safe to drive.
The lane keep assist of the car is supposed to keep the car centered when enabled. It does this job well most of the time however a few times, the car keep wanting to hug the right lane line to the point where lane departure alert starts beeping. In summary the car thinks the center is closer towards the right lane line to the point where lane departure alert warning comes on. As the driver you have to actively hold the steering to keep it centered since the system will keep fighting you to gravitate towards the right lane line. This issue occurred twice as of this date with no specific pattern observed that might trigger it. The abnormal behavior is observed when the system is engaged for a while in its normal operation. This can pose a safety issue if the car suddenly drifts to the right rather keep it centered in the lane since it occurs without warning. No warning lights or alerts come in the car when this abnormal behavior occurs. However the dashboard (sport touring digital cluster) visualization also shows the car deviating towards the right lane line during this behavior indicating the car's camera also sees this abnormal behavior but the lane keeping logic somehow is issuing the wrong control commands. Plan to show it to a dealer soon.
I have just over 600 miles and haven-??t had an issue before today but today the Lane Centering/Keeping feature began pulling me sharply to the right side of the lane and crossed it, causing the vehicle-??s lane departure warning system to shake the steering wheel. I have driven this road with this car before. This did not happen.
Steering pulls to the side making it very hard to steer. Will stay in lane when going straight but makes your arms sore trying to steer it. Does not happen at all speeds usually above 30mph. Duplicated by dealer. Unable To fix the problem due to steering rack in back order for over 6 months and counting. Will not drive the car as it is my daughters and is unsafe for her. No codes showing at the dealer.
Steering wheel starts to stick or bind after a 30 minute drive. When stopped there is clunk coming from the electronic power steering. Once on the high way, the steering wheel gets really sticky and when trying to do a small correction it jerks. After a while it becomes really unsafe to drive since all the correction you make are extreme and it struggles to keep the car centered on the lane without constant struggle.
My wife purchased a new 2022 Honda civic sport, it has lane control assist and at high speed it wonders, pulls side to side, follows lanes color change, pulls into a curve and pulls when going by big trucks into the truck. I have to hold the steering very tight and it has made my arms hurt from the straining. I went to Honda 4 time before anyone admitted it has a serious problem. Hammer Honda in Reseda Ca, verified the problems. The book clear states the lane change assist may or may not work, Honda denies anything is wrong. This is a safety issue and we have had 4 near crash events. I am a Certified Trained Alignment Technician and know cars well, I have 43 years of hands on experience, this car is unsafe and no one at Honda is disclosing this safety issue with this 2022 Honda Civic Sports. The expert at Honda on the 4th visit Witnessed and Verified the Lane Change Assists not working properly at 50 mph.
