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.
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.
The steering feels off when driving on the highway. It feels stuck when I try to make minor adjustments on small curves. I have to force it to release.
When I am driving above 45 MPH in a straight line, it becomes hard to make small adjustments using the steering wheel. The best way to describe what it is like is that is becomes stuck in a position and once you apply enough turning force, it suddenly breaks free or becomes unstuck. This is a continuous issue and happens every time I drive above 45 MPH. It makes it hard to stay in the lane on the highway because making small adjustments is difficult.
After the vehicle has been been warmed up, the steering wheel seems to slip or stick when driving at speeds above 45 mph when driving in a straight path and after you try to make a small steering shift. The wheel feels like it sticks then gets loose for a split second. This started happening righ around 10K miles. When you are driving at slow speeds you don't notice it. Also, when you are making the actual turn, the steering wheel moves freely without skips or slips. It only happens when you driving in straight paths on a a highway when you are holding the wheel and you feel the wheel slipping or getting stuck. You have to over correct which could create a hazard when driving at high speeds. There are no warning lights on the dashboard. I feel that the problem has been getting worse and pronounced every week now. Secondly, the wheel also does not return to the center postion after turning the wheel to the right. Typically the steering wheel should return to center after turning the wheel on its own. I have to turn the wheel back to the center postion manually. I am taking the vehicle to the dealer for them to check it out.
Steering becomes sticky or locked while driving, most often while on a highway. It takes extra force to break the lock and steer the vehicle. Small steering corrections are difficult to make and often becomes hard not to overcorrect once the steering becomes -??normal-??. Overcorrection could become a severe safety hazard if quick steering changes are required. This is an ongoing issue and not an isolated incident.
When driving on the freeway the steering wheel gets stuck when making small corrections while driving straight in the lane. To get the steering wheel unstuck must over correct in the direction you want to car to go and it finally releases, then you must recenter the car quickly.
The steering on this civic is sticky. It feels like the electronic steering either temporarily cuts out or the lane departure assist is on whenever I steer at almost any speed. I need to overcome resistance from the steering wheel in order to make minor or major adjustments to the steering
I just bought a car 2 months ago. The steering wheel has serious safety issues. It will get stuck. The steering wheel makes noise and the steering wheel will get stuck while driving. The steering wheel got stuck three times after I bought the car for two months. I almost got into an accident. Please take the investigation seriously, it is absolutely a steering wheel problem. Thank you very much. I hope the car will be recalled for repairs.
Seem to be experiencing sticky steering while vehicle is in motion. The problem really becomes noticeable at about 35 mph. Steering wheel wants to stick in place when making minor adjustments in steering.
