Steering wheel sticks while driving took it to Honda and they claim they test drove it for 12 miles and found nothing wrong with it. I took home the car and it-??s still Doing what I took it in for. The steering either over steers or under steers (not sure if I-??m explaining it correctly) kind of like when lane assist is on.. the fight it gives you without indicating of a lane change well it does that at all times even when it is not
My steering wheel is very sticky. It gets stuck when i-??m driving and trying to turn. It is a safety concern because sometimes it is requires an effort for me to use my steering wheel when driving. my steering wheel has been assessed by Honda and they mentioned that it Hass to be replaced. However, since my car is out of warranty, I would have to pay for it or a portion of it. This should not be happening and it is a safety concern. Honda should offer a recall regarding this issue because a lot of vehicles are having this experience with their steering wheel.
The steering is sticky and have a hard time keeping in the middle of the lane without constant minor jerking. Very noticeable at high highway speeds above 40+ mph. This safety concern might cause over correcting in an emergency steering at highway speeds thus possibly losing control. I took it to the dealership and they said there was nothing wrong with the car. I let them know they were wrong. Technician test drove the car but never took it onto the highway.
The steering wheel has been sticking when turning left and right, resulting in a not smooth turn. The steering wheel also sticks when making minor adjustments to direction while driving straight. Most noticeable at highway speeds of 65+mph This has happened every time I've driven the car for the past few months. I took it to Honda this week, 2/19/24 and they stated they could not replicate it, but one tech/service advisor did note that they did feel some stiffness Honda states they recalibrated the steering wheel
Having problems with the steering wheel, while driving my car, the steering wheel gets stiff and it is hard to maneuver causing the vehicle to pull. I feel very unsafe driving my vehicle on the road. I received a recall noticed, therefore I took my car to dealership but was informed that my car was not under recall, but was informed that I needed to replace the steering gearbox. I don't understand why my vehicle doesn't show as having a recall if I am having the same issue mentioned on the current steering rack recall. I have been waiting for my car to get fixed for over a month; the dealership is waiting for parts. Meanwhile I have to drive my vehicle with this problem because the dealership will not provide a rental due to vehicle's recall status.

The steering wheel feels like it is sticking which causes minor corrections to be over corrections. It-??s like the steering wheel gets stuck and you have to force it to turn in order to make a correction.
I began having intermittent problems with my power steering system several months ago. While driving at highway speeds, the steering wheel gets "stuck", and I have to use force to unstick it, which causes overcorrection at times and makes it difficult to keep the car in the proper lane. Since there was a recall on my car involving the steering rack, my husband took my car into the Honda dealership in Gainesville, FL and explained the problems I've been having with the sticky steering. They drove the car, but said they could not replicate the problem I described, so no repair was done, but they did inspect the recalled steering rack. There have never been any warning lights or messages when the symptoms appear. Since taking the car to the dealership, the problem with the steering has been getting progressively worse, making it very difficult to drive. I called the dealership again today, and have an appointment to take it in again tomorrow, February 20, 2024.
After a little while (15-30 minutes) of driving at highway speeds on long stretches, at least 50mph the steering wheel is jerking around. My car has 31,000 miles on it. I had it in regularly for service. The car has been serviced by Honda twice, they have assured me that everything looked okay. Noting it was the the 'tires' that were the problem. or the alignment. I have paid nearly $1000 out of pocket and the car is still jerking. They checked my VIN for the recall but said it wasn't included, yet i'm still experiencing jerking of the wheel despite alignment, rotation and balancing of tires. I feel my safety is at risk because the steering will jerk suddenly while driving straight (at highway speeds) and makes it difficult to stay in my lane.
My electric power steering system is causing the well known and documented "sticky steering" which is affecting the 2022 and 2023 Civics, CRVs, and some Acura models. My vehicle started this around 35,000 miles. I understand there is an ongoing investigation in progress, but would like to make a formal complaint to push for Honda to issue an official recall for this problem. The problem has been addressed by my local dealer, and they have ordered a replacement part that will supposedly fix the problem, by they could not give me an estimate for when the part would arrive. Therefore, I'm stuck driving a vehicle 50 miles a day to work and back which has very unsettling and potentially unsafe driving characteristics.
2022 Honda civic which I lease. We have noticed a problem with steering wheel sticking at times when adjusting or starting to turn. Steering wheel sticks in both directions mainly at highway speeds. Cause for concern, dealership says there is not a problem or can NOT be detected. This is a problem.
Sticky steering wheel at above 50mph when the steering wheel is turn to left. Have to put extra effort and have to jerk it to return the steering wheel to center. There was an event of over correction of the wheel. Heard clunk sound when turn to left only. I brought the car to capitol Honda at san jose ca. For recall and this is their diagnosis: "test drove vehicle and verified steering wheel will get hard to turn but was not able to duplicate noise when turning left. Upon further inspection found steering rack has internal problem. Recommend replacing steering rack and recheck for noise after replacement". service advisor quoted me $2795.12. Aren't day suppose to replace for free per recall? called Honda cars and was approved for goodwill assistance. Capitol Honda service manager re-quoted me for $1134.97. I called back Honda cars to re-open the case. Im waiting for Honda cars for the result of their further investigation.
After about 20 minutes of driving the steering wheel starts sticking. You have to put more effort into turning the steering wheel and once it comes unstuck, you slightly over correct and then have to turn back the other way which results in the same thing all over again because it keeps getting stuck. I put around 65,000 miles on the car and never had any problems until I carried the car in for the steering rack recall. They said my car was fine and it has been sticking ever since they checked it. I called them back and they said they didn't touch or adjust anything.
When driving the steering wheel sticks and the car drifts whichever direction I-??ve last turned the steering. I constantly have to fight the steering wheel to keep the car going straight.
Steering is sticking, so I am having to adjust my wheel, while driving straight. When I go around a curve or make a turn it's worse. I took my car to the dealership when I learned about the recall and they didn't tell me anything. I took it back to them 2/12/24 and the "service manager" said that my WA and WB stickers weren't the same numbers as the recall. EVEN though my vin number says my car has a recall. Service manager said he would send a form to Goodwill on getting it approved, Received a text from the service manager on 2/13/24 and he says now that his district sales rep hasn't given him the approval for the Goodwill.. Its NOT THEIR LIVES at DANGER and they DO NOT CARE.......
I have about 22000 miles on my 2022 Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. I am noticing an increased frequency in "sticky steering". At approximately 40mph and higher, it feels as if I need to apply extra effort to get the steering wheel to move, and then it releases. This is not just irritating - it causes major overcorrections on the highway and has led to me crossing the lane lines. I have researched this, and I found that many other Civic drivers experience this issue.
While driving at highway speeds, steering wheel seems to stick when making small adjustments. This is very tiring and concerning, not being able to fully trust that it won-??t freeze up completely. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else. No warning lights, etc., to indicate issues.
