When the car is warmed up, the steering becomes a little more difficult. Turning the wheel slowly is not smooth, feels sticky. This started occurring around 8000 miles on the vehicle.

The steering intermittently sticks. While driving, both at speed and slow speeds, there is a noticeable sometimes unnerving sticking that occurs, where I have to push the wheel to get it to return to wheels straight. I can reproduce while stopped when it occurs. When driving at highways speeds it makes keeping the car driving straight difficult and i have to be careful to not over push the wheel for fear of losing control.

Experiencing sticky or notchy steering at moderate and highway speeds. Started when odometer hit 4500 miles. I called the dealer and referenced Service Bulletin 23-037. Dealer informed me I would have to pay a $148 diagnostic fee for them to even look at it.

While driving at highway speeds the steering wheel becomes what feels like locked and becomes very stiff. Almost as if the power steering is no longer working. This in turn causes me to have to forcefully steer the steering-wheel sometimes over correcting.

The steering wheel sticks at the 12:00 position when driving at cruising speeds. Then, I have to use force to adjust the steering wheel while tracking down the road. The steering wheel breaks free and causes me to oversteer in that direction and I have to quickly steer back. It happens 50% of the time I-??m driving over 60mph.

Electronic Power Steering Gear Box. See TSB 23-037. Steering does not respond as it should. When driving either in a straight line or in a turn, the EPS (electronic power steering) motor fails to sufficiently adhere to driver input (left or right turn). Problem was witnessed by service manager Tony Rocha of Ed Morse Honda 3790 W Blue Heron Blvd, Riviera Beach, FL 33404, (561) 508-8639. Tony drove my car with 36,616 miles and agreed that the steering is "sticking". In order to maintain a lane or make turns, extra force application is required by driver resulting in extremely dangerous oversteering. I am afraid to drive because I cannot sufficiently maintain control of the vehicle. The part has not been inspected because Honda does not employ electrical engineers at their service centers and no mechanic is qualified to understand this system. The only way to identify the problem part is through the symptoms of sticking steering as outlined in TSB 23-037. No warning message or code appears. The problem is persistent not intermittent. It is important to note that Honda recently issued recall 23V-703 in regards to incorrect stroke length of steering rack but this is a separate issue that is being confused/conflated by the service department. Problem is apparent from a standstill and at all speeds. Problem persists with or without LKAS and Lane Departure Mitigation.

I have not had any issues related to the current recall of hearing a rubbing noise from the tires due to a steering rack issue. I am having a problem with the power steering. At speeds above 45 MPH, the steering is "STICKING or BINDING" and I am having to use excessive pressure to get the steering to return basically to the "CENTER" position. This is very noticeable at freeway speeds when trying to keep the vehicle centered in the lane. It is also noticeable on curves, like when merging on an on-ramp. At times, I don't notice this as much when it is colder outside, like in the mornings but DO notice it when it is warmer outside, like when I am headed home from work iin the late afternoon. I have an appt with my Honda Dealer on 11-4-2023 for the new open recall and plan on bringing this steering issue to their attention.

The vehicle's steering wheel gets stuck in place when making turns or going straight. This makes it harder to adjust the wheel and leads to steering over-correction. This sticky steering issue is noticeable at high speeds(>= 45mph), however, when the issue starts it also occurs at low speeds.
