This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Steering feels very jerky on the highway. Best I can describe it is when you are giving little corrections with the steering wheel it feels heavy and then the power steering helps once you get to a certain level of input and the wheel jerks hard. Almost like the power steering can't see the first 5-?? of input at highway speeds. This makes for a car that is hard to keep centered and unsafe driving conditions on the highway. This effect is noticeable in normal mode and unbearable in sport mode.
Steering becomes sticky and stuck when turning to left as steering must be manually auto-corrected to center mostly more prominent on highway speeds causing car to be at serious risk for crash. Dealer diagnosed problem as PS rack and replacement is around $3k with out of pocket or extended warranty. This was a known issue for previous generation and continues to be an issue in this generation.
While driving at speeds above 45 mph the steering becomes very stiff as if locked in place and when you try to adjust the steering it jerks the wheel making it very dangerous if your not careful.
Steering is sticking when making normal minor corrections while driving. This causes the driver to have to over-correct to get past the sticking point. When driving on the highway, this makes driving dangerous, as an over-correction moves the vehicle closer to other vehicles or barriers. Note that this problem started around middle of November 2022. Prior to that the vehicle drove fine, no issues.
The steering of the car is hard to control starting at 30 mph and getting progressively worse as you increase the speed. The steering wheel seems to lock in a position and when you try to correct your path of travel it causes an over correction due to the additional force necessary to try and keep the car in the intended path. I had 2 close calls where I almost had an accident on the high way because of this. along with my hand being damaged as a result of a service connected disability I fear that I wont have enough strength to keep the car from veering into a tragedy.
The steering wheel "sticks" a little when driving at highway speeds. This is when lane keep assist is turned OFF. As far as I can tell this mostly happens when I'm going in a straight line. It can be unstuck fairly easily by applying pressure to turn, but something is clearly off.
one day after approximately 11k miles of use, the sterring began to bind. Sticking mainly to the center, at first it wasn't very drastic. A little extra effort & you were able to mussel through it. The more you drive it ghe worse it gets. It got to an unmanageable point with the lane assit on, as the car fights itself. this started approximately 3 & half weeks ago. Its getting worse. Had an appointment at tge dealer 2 weeks ago, yesterday there was a release date for my steering rack of January 1, mabye. It gets worse w speed.
While driving my 2022 Civic at freeway speeds beginning to notice steering wheel isn-??t responding as smoothly as normal. Car tends to drift in lane and when you correct steering wheel sticks and feels similar to the lane keeping assistance even though it is turned off. Seems to be getting more noticeable and steering isn-??t as responsive
At highway speeds, the steering wheel will stick a few degrees from center on either side when allowing the wheel to return to its neutral position. When making minor adjustments while travelling straight, the wheel will give increased resistance at the points mentioned above. This can be possibly dangerous if a driver assumes the wheel will behave normally when completing a turn or overcompensating during minor adjustments. This can be especially true during inclement weather conditions where minor adjustments or wheel sticking may affect the driver's ability to correct an otherwise avoidable traction related incident.
When driving at higher speeds on the freeway my steering becomes resistant. Causing over correcting. One day when it was very windy driving to work after over correction I blew into the other lane, luckily no one was close enough. Driving on the freeway for long periods of time causes hand cramps from the amount of grip it requires to keep it center lane. This is a safety issue. I have taken it to Honda on 3 separate occasions for the same issue and every time they say there is nothing wrong.
Car wanders, and when moving the wheel slightly in either direction it will stay in that direction and not return to the center without help. The wheel also sticks to the center and requires a bit more force to move occasionally.
When im on freeway my car steering wheel starting to feel like sticky and im always fighting to steering to be staright on the road.and its always going right.and when im in idle i can feel and hear a bumping sounds under my vehicle when i slowly turning it right. Its makes me feel Unsafe on this car specially when im driving on freeway! And when i bring it to the dealer ti fix it they always saying nothing was wrong with my steering!! I leave my car in dealer for 2days and when i get it its feel thesame and they pull out the wire power of my dashcam for no reason!!!
Steering became difficult and unresponsive at times. Car barely has 3000 miles on it. Took to Honda dealership for inspection. They test drove car and I was told the following needed to be replaced and recommended leaving car there for repairs. Repair rack and pinion assembly, update control unit, update VSA and EPS systems, alignment. 2 weeks to get a part leaving me stuck having to pay for a rental car for weeks.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH and making a left turn, there was significant resistance while turning the steering wheel back to the center position. The contact stated that the failure had been occurring mainly after making turns at faster speeds. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure was associated to an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.
El problema comenzó a las 18,000 millas, el manejo del vehículo a ido empeorando, ahora tiene 22,000 millas y lo hace a poca velocidad de manejo, el problema el que el volante tiene ruido al girar y se atasca durante el manejo, tengo que forzar el volante para que quede línea recta, lo lleve a la garantía y los técnicos me dijeron qué hay una falla interna del Rack & Pinion failure, pero los técnicos no han tomado este problema muy en serio, no me siento seguro manejándolo
While driving the 2022 Civic sport 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. 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. Around 5000 miles the steering wheel will begin having a loose change noise when turning to the left behind the horn, around 10,000 miles the steering wheel will begin locking up and not allowing the driver to correct it and will pull the car to different sides of the road. If you go to the dealership everyone pretends like it-??s unreal but check any forum and 1000s of people are experiencing these problems with 2022 Civics
My steering wheel is starting to stick, I have to pull harder than normal for it to turn, it's led me to over correct it by accident on the highway to get it to move. Others have had this issue on these Civics as well. If it gets worse I can see this being very dangerous if it gets worse.
