2022 HONDA CIVIC Lane Departure Problems

On Sunday, December 14, 2025, I was driving a 2022 Honda Civic Sport with my wife in the passenger seat when the vehicle’s driver-assist/steering system unexpectedly intervened and caused the vehicle to veer off the roadway and down a steep embankment (approximately 40–50 feet) without driver input. I attempted to correct the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to respond as expected. There was no intentional steering command to leave the roadway. The vehicle appeared to steer itself, resulting in a crash. Both occupants sustained injuries. I suffered a neck/collarbone injury and a concussion. My wife suffered a concussion, a large laceration to her outer right calf, and bruising. Medical treatment was required and was sought at urgent care. After the incident, warning indicators were present on the dashboard. I later became aware that this model year has known complaints and recalls related to steering, lane-assist, or driver-assist system malfunctions. These issues were not disclosed at the time the vehicle was purchased used from a dealership. This appears to be a serious safety defect that poses a risk of injury or death to drivers and passengers. The vehicle is currently unsafe to operate.

Found out the my car has a recall last december 2024. I drove to my dealership and told them about it. they said they dont have available parts for the recall in my car and the service advisor I talked to was told me that they have the parts for the recall but they prioritize the newer car so that they can sell it. then I called the manufacturer and let them know what the dealership was told me. 2 days later the manufacturer called me and said that they contacted my dealership and letting me know that they were be able to fix my car about the safety recall. but after I drove my car to my dealership and got it fixed and its all good as they said, but when I drove my car nothing change and its gets more difficult to control the steering wheel until now. most drivers thinks I'm drunk and keep their distance away from my car. then I brought my car back to the dealership and told them about it and they said they already done the repaired and got it fix but the repaired seems unsuccessful.

Went to start my car one night after it had been perfectly fine throughout the day when 5 warning lights came on, Lane Keeping assist system, Collision mitigation braking system, Road Departure mitigation system. Auto High Beam problem and Adaptive Cruise Control system problem. I immediately went online to see how i could possibly fix the problem and found numerous message boards with people with fairly new low mileage Hondas complaining about the same issue and stating either various completely different solutions or no luck finding a solution. Other than those warning lights everything else on the car is functioning right and the battery is still in good shape.

We purchased our Honda in 2022. Within three months the lane departure system was failing. The wheel was jerky and at times difficult to correct. This occurred while staying in lane and not close to lines on the road. We took it in they identified the issue and replaced it. Within nine months it failed again. This time even worse. They identified it was the same issue. This was December of 2023. Our dealership advised it would be three months to get the necessary parts in. Three months passed. We called, part not in would be another three months. We called back December of 2024. Was advised Honda had canceled the part delivery. I assume due to recall. We would have never been notified had we not been persistent in calling. A letter or phone call from dealership of Honda would have been nice. The excuses were unacceptable. Our concerns were never addressed as the customer service in this issue was non-existing. Our vehicle is getting worse and still this part has not been replaced. Unexcusable. This car had 300 miles on it when purchased, brand new.

When I tried to start the vehicle on 10/14/24, it did not start, however it started showing various messages on the electronic dashboard. The vehicle was towed to John Eagle Honda Of Dallas (Honda Dealer) on 10/14/24 around 11:15 AM. I am enclosing the diagnostic report run on the vehicle by the John Eagle Honda of Dallas on 10/15/24 which shows some of the messages I had seen on the dashboard. My dashboard never showed me low battery at any time but the car did not start and the message of lane departure, brake failure messages came on the dashboard. I have LoJack App service on my phone which tracks everything on my vehicle.I used the vehicle on 10/11/24 and 10/12/24 and there was no issue in the vehicle nor did I see any dashboard warnings. The dealer kept the car overnight stating that they were too busy on 10/14/24 and promised me that they will provide alternate vehicle on 10/15/24 morning as per my phone call. I went to the dealership on the 15th at 8:50 AM to pick up the alternate vehicle, the service advisor said I can take my vehicle since he had changed the battery and it was safe to drive and did not provide me the invoice for the replaced battery. I asked the service advisor for the diagnostic report and he informed me that everything was okay in the report. I insisted on taking the print out of the diagnostic report and had to wait to collect it. Seeing the time on the report I am able to understand that they ran the diagnostic report while I was waiting. After driving my vehicle from the dealership and not having new battery invoice in my hand I called Honda motor company customer service and narrated my dealership visit details along with being uncomfortable on the safety of the vehicle. I didn't get any help from them as well. They created a case number for me. They said that someone will reach out to me and no one has till date. If you need any other information please feel free to contact me.

I got this car (2022 honda civic touring) as preowned a little over 2 months ago. It had 39k miles. I inspected the car and thought it looked perfect and so I got it. In getting it, i opted out on getting extended warranty for personal reason. However the car had 60 days dealer warranty. After several times driving it, i noticed that my arms get sore. I thought it was just the way it drives. I drove one of my friends car which is the same car same year and it just drives way smoother. Mine is really sticky. I have to really put effort into keeping the wheel straight. When i make slight turns, the wheel doesnt go back to going straight, it gets stuck, so i have to pull it again to go straight. I heard about the recall on this car about the steering. I brought it in to honda but they said that my car isnt affected by it and that my part was okay. Due to my schedule i was only able to bring it in until almost the dealer warranty expires. However, they said that the car was fine, that they didnt notice the issue ive been experiencing. They told me that it drove good and advised me to get an allignment done. By the time the allignment place was able to get me in, the warranty had already expired and so i was really hoping that the allignment would fix it. Unfortunately, it didnt not. My steering is still so stiff/sticky. I dont know what to do.

My car was purchased used with 79k miles and the longer the car is running, the stiffer the steering wheel becomes. Any small moments are stiff and make the car jerk to much and it causes me to have to fight to keep the car in a straight line while driving. Lane keeping assistance is also driving way too close to one side since the steering wheel causes the car to struggle to make any small changes. It gets close to cars that are next to me and can potentially cause an accident if I make one small move. They appeared for me on 8/15 and I purchased this car on 8/14. A steering wheel should be smooth and not so stiff. I have an appointment coming up on Monday for a diagnostic but I am afraid they’ll tell me it’s out of warranty or there is nothing wrong with it. Which is impossible since so many others like me are having the same issue. My car needs to become part of this recall to be able to afford to change the steering shell rack or fix what needs to be fixed for my safety and those around me.

While driving the wheel moved trying to correct itself. It was raining so that caused us to hydroplane into a ditch.

22-24 Honda civic Steering rack recall I feel to have no control of my vehicle and that my life as well as others are put at risk. I took my car to Honda for the safety inspection for the active recall they falsely dismissed according to Honda corporate. Nothing has been inspected other than my safety inspection when the dealership passed my car. I scheduled an appointment for a diagnosis as corporate told me to do after speaking to them, but the dealer didn’t do the diagnosis on my vehicle they just drove it and said it’s driving normal but once we returned they ordered a whole new steering rack for my vehicle after the service department passed my vehicle, but then informed me they sent the steering rack back and that I needed to go to the dealership I purchased my car from which is 41 minutes away after I stated the driving conditions of my vehicle and the potential risk to myself as well as others on the roadway.”refusal of service” Lane departure signal this started 1/17/24 to be exact but has became more of a quite frequent issue since then.

All of the lights come on periodically (lane departure can’t be used, it says braking system error, it says braking system could be decreased and says to have car serviced) I’ve taken it to the dealership once and they could not replicate it and said it could be a sensor but wasn’t sure I paid for a inspection because they didn’t know. Searching things now there are a ton of forums with the same problem for the same model and make.

This Incident occurs daily and poses a SEVERE risk to not only myself but other vehicles on the road, with ADAS systems off the 11th gen civics seem to have a mind of its own. When traveling above 40 Mph on a long curvy road/highway or raining, the steering wheel becomes "Notchy" and will lock in place for moments at a time. The only way to gain control of the steering wheel is to apply extra force and once applied the steering wheel is released and causes the driver to overcorrect. I purchased my civic 2 months ago purely for its reliability and the safety ratings given by the NHSTA. Honda has initially released the service bulletin to address their faulty replacement racks stating "certain service part electric power steering (EPS) gearbox assemblies were not made to proper specification. " In reality this is a LIE they are trying to say the scope is less than 5% of their vehicles but the truth is that every single vehicle sold with this same rack has or will in the short future report this issue, some drivers think it is only "annoying" and some dealers are telling customers its "Normal" I am completely appalled that there has not been a Stop-sale issued for this as the main component of a car is the steering and if that is faulty than what else matters! they have managed to put the same rack in multiple vehicles in the last few years and you wont begin to experience the issue unless you drive (few 1,000MI on the car) longer than 45 minutes. Civic Type R's are less likely to experience this as that vehicle uses a different rack (Probably more $). Owners who have gotten a replacement eps system are finding the issue to reoccur after 12 months. This points to the fact that not only is this a manufacturing/Quality issue but a PURLEY FAILED Engineering design. I have an appt with a dealer but they will replace the rack with another faulty one, Honda needs to shut everything down and put the safety of their customers first before we all end up dead or kill someone.

Steering is best described as “notchy” or “sticky,” it feels stiff. Minor wheel corrections on the highway cause the car to overcorrect and overcompensate steering. Small adjustments made while driving do not feel smooth.

my steering wheel gets sticky at high speeds on turns and gets stuck, took it to dealer and they say it’s nothing to worry about but i almost hit a curve while turning on the freeway. and when i also reverse there’s a clicking sound everything and they don’t heard it. pleas fix this problem. i don’t feel safe in the vehicle anymore and it just sits in my garage now

On [XXX] I had my wife take our 2022 HONDA CIVIC TOURING to COGGIN HONDA of ORLANDO for Maintenance Minder A,1services and to have them check as to why the car is making a funny sound when turning the steering wheel. Via text message, she informed me that they told her that the steering rack needed to be replaced and that it would cost $2245 with all the other services needed for the vehicle. I declined to have it fixed at that moment. October 19, 2023, I received an alert via HONDA LINK and saw there was a recall on the steering rack. On [XXX] I took the car back to COGGIN HONDA hoping they would now repair as it is now evident that the steering rack malfunction is not my fault and has an active safety recall. According to the technician, once he took pics of the part, he claimed it passed the inspection. That didn’t make sense to me. My HONDA LINK app still shows that the recall is active and I deserve the remedy owed to me and hope that the lack there of hasn’t caused further damage to my automobile. Also, I was told that the vehicle warranty had expired but the documentation attached clearly states that it is in effect until [XXX]. Please notice that they state that there are no active recalls on the vehicle. So now I am filing this complaint to have this safety issue resolved and to receive my remedy. Please see attached files. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The steering has become notchie. You can feel the wheel jump with slight movement. It use to be smooth, now it has an odd jerkyness to it. Alignment and tires good. Care has 40k

I purchased a 2022 Civic LX in 2022, it now has 75k miles. After 50k or so i started to notice the steering wheel almost start to "stick" & make a popping/clicking noise (different than that of a cv axle) after long highway commutes, for example...im going 30mph on the street & i start to make a turn and i will almost have to kind of force &/or unstick the wheel to align it. I've seen numerous reports on this issue & its quite scary.

-What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Unknown, possibly the steering rack and or power steering motor. -How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk Inability to safely maintain lanes and the wheel not returning to the center after a turn requires extra force (Especially60+MPH) to get the wheel moving again that causes over corrections and in turn swerving that can be very dangerous to me and others on the road especially after getting stuck during said over correction. -Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, I took the car to the dealership said they were aware of some cars having this "sticky steering" and they did NOT get in the car to confirm the issue. -Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, after I called the dealership about the steering issue, the dealership scheduled appointment for the car and held the car at the dealership for (I think 1) day for a recall for a similar issue description: "An improperly assembled steering rack may allow tires and/or tire chains to rub against the vehicle’s lower suspension or tire rod end, which could cause tire damage." They gave the car back after the 1 day and said the car wasn't experiencing said issue of the tires rubbing and they updated some software. Nothing changed after getting the car back, they did not replace or service any parts of the car. The steering issue has gotten significantly worse since. -Any warning lamps, messages OrOther symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? I started noticing the steering wheel getting stuck when driving straight and requiring extra force to get it moving again, micro adjustments are really hard without over correcting. The wheel also started no longer returning to center and gets stuck off center and LKAS wont stayCenteredInLN

When Turning or in a lane and your slighting adjusting the steering feels sticky very sticky sometimes almost like it’s the power steering rack

Driving down the high way at about 55-60 miles an hour went to overtake a vehicle and brake system light, and flashing parking brake late came on all systems such as cruise control, lane mitigation, lane keep assist, brake assist and reduced braking performance messages came up on the dash about the foruth time this happens, had gone to the dealer before for the same issue.

I’ve been having issues few months after I bought the car from Honda dealership. I took it back and forth to them and they said there was an issue but did nothing. The recalls about the steering came up and I don’t feel safe driving the car but last week I took it and they said there was nothing wrong. Steering is sticky. I’m all over the road having to make corrections 90% of the time I’m driving. Without the lane assist it does it. With the lane assist on the car won’t even stay straight due to the problem. its very unsafe & aggravating to own a car paying so much a month for a newer car and with issues. An alignment was done and the steering wheel cannot be put straight even. It’s definitely a safety problem. Honda wants to do nothing about it due to parts and labor being $2800 and change and they’d be losing money it’s my thought. Thinking about doing lemon law because it’s very unsafe to drive the car and it’s rare when the car shows no problem at all. I shouldn’t have to make corrections the whole time I’m driving.

When driving at mainly 35MHP+ the steering has a “catch” to it. They refer to this as “sticky steering”. Took the car into the Honda dealership and they confirmed the issue. Parts are on back order with no ETA available. This problem has been ongoing for months now and still nothing is being done about it.

The electronic power steering system in the Honda Civic is failing. Steering wheel frequently “sticks” causing the driver to oversteer, in order to “unstick” the power steering mechanism. Power steering is notchy and sticky feeling, increasing in persistence. The vehicle feels unstable, thus unsafe for continued driving.

Vehicle had been driving off center even after alignment was completed. Took for another one after wife almost lost control of vehicle in highway. Been at dealer since Nov 24,2023 and estimated time for completion is not until April 2024.

When starting my car, it struggles to start and then the emissions system light stays on, warning of engine power being affected. The car sputters when driving. The lane departure light stays on, as well as the braking system light, which warns of potential problems with braking. My safety is at risk when trying to accelerate and sputtering instead. Since the problem started today, December 22, I can’t go to the dealer until after Christmas. No one else has inspected the vehicle yet. There were no other warnings, however steering did feel strange, starting a couple of days ago.

My steering wheel is sticking consistently. When driving I am unable to make minor, gentle course corrections because the wheel gets "stuck" and I have to use more force than normal to get it to move which then causes the car to jerk to the side slightly when it does release. While it is not a large amount of force needed, nor does the car veer wildly around the road it is significant enough that it is causing issues with driving. It requires enough extra force that my arms are physically becoming tired from correcting, and it seems to be increasing in severity. When I first noticed the issue it was sporadic and mild. It has now become constant and impedes driving. I am unable to drive straight without my car jerking back and forth every few seconds. It happens at all speeds, and both when lane keeping assist is on and off. Further, my lane keeping assist feature is now not functioning at all even in perfect conditions.

I have 28,000 miles on my 22 civic sport touring hatchback. For about the last 2-3 months the ability to keep the car driving perfectly straight has been getting more and more difficult. This is on the highway doing 40-70 mph and when driving straight and it almost seems like when you haven’t added any steering input for a few seconds or more, it starts having a slight but noticeable dead spot or sticky spot in the steering. It has caught my anttention multiple times now including everytime I use the lane keep assistance. The dead spot or sticking spot is still there with the lane keep on and it causes the car to not be able to maintain a straight line even with you giving manual inputs. In the last week this has become substantially more prominent because I’ve changed jobs and have an hour drive both ways to work. The dead spot, dead zone or sticky spot is now noticeable going around a corner if you are holding the steering wheel in the same position for more than a few seconds, today I had the steering wheel feel like it was jerking going around a busy corner at a 4 way intersection. The last two days have been much warmer where I live and after 35-40 minutes the sticky spot makes it nearly impossible to maintain a straight line while crying down the road and a lot of roads where I live are long and straight and a brand new 1 year old car should not be doing this. Going around the long sweeping turn at the intersection today was kinda scary feeling the same dead spots as I had the steering wheel turned. It is clearly an issue and I have seen all the other reports of the same issue. I will be taking it to the dealer as soon as they will see me. The problem is that there are no error codes or engine lights and the Honda techs are not driving the cars long enough to have the steering box warm up and start showing the problems. Once the car has been driven for a while it does it at low speeds too. Please help, I know I’m not the only one with this problem

When driving at 70-75MPH my steering wheel will feel sticky or stuck while turning to the left between 10-12 O’clock . Feels as if the lane mitigation is wanting to correct my steering all while the lane assist is off. Any minor corrections while steering wheel is sticky results in major corrections and forces me to swerve. Afraid of electric steering failing at high speed and causing a severe accident.

While driving at different speeds, my steering has started sticking, causing over corrections that make it extremely difficult to stay in my lane. The stickiness first appreared early this year with the occasional stickiness and would resolve itself randomly. In the past month, it has significant increased and is now a constant issue which now includes a popping or clicking sound when making slights corrections. There were NO warning lights on my dash to indicate a problem. On my way home from a doctors appt yesterday, the issue became so bad that i couldn’t stay in my lane due to the over corrections. I immediately stopped at the closest dealer and said my car is unsafe to drive and they must look at it. This morning the dealer called to inform me that my power steering rack has failed….In my 2022!!!!!! He also said the Honda care package I bought for issue like this may not even cover this issue!!

My car has the red light blinking on and I can't turn on my car it said it has engines problems

Steering sticks and “clicks” after sustained driving at highway speeds, especially when turning left. Once it starts at highways speeds, it continues at low speeds until the car rests for a period. The problem temporarily goes away but then returns when the above me tokens conditions are reached again.

The steering does not hold steady in a straight line. I cannot safely drive this car over 40 miles per hour, because I have to hold the steering wheel very hard to keep it from skidding off in a straight lane. even at slower speed the steering wheel becomes stiff and difficult to maneuver. It is not safe to drive on the highway at 65 miles per hour because the steering goes from side to side or locks up. Last week I nearly got into an accident on the interstate, but I moved fast and I got it under control. It all started at about 40,000 miles, with a noise and a very slight steering problem, I thought I needed to change the tires and alignment, I did, but the noise continued and as I use the car more the steering worsens. The Honda dealer ran a diagnostic recommending I replace the Power Steering Rack, costing $2700. Doesn't seem fair to me for such a new car.

I want to express my genuine concern regarding a recent incident involving my daughter's 2022 Honda Civic Sport. On July 4th, while driving her car after a brief rain, she encountered standing water that had pooled along the side of the road. Unexpectedly, the car pulled to the right, and despite her best efforts to steer away, she couldn't as the steering wheel was locked. The loss of control resulted in the car careening right, jumping the curb and ending up on the sidewalk. I am grateful that while frightened and dazed, my daughter and her passengers escaped any physical harm. We promptly brought the vehicle to our trusted dealership to report the power steering failure and assess the resulting damage. We were disheartened to learn that since there is no existing recall on the power steering system, the dealership contended that the accident must have compromised the power steering and, therefore, repair was not covered under warranty. I want to emphasize that the power steering failure occurred prior to the accident and directly contributed to the car's loss of control. The vehicle has a mere 9000 miles on it, and my daughter was driving within the safe speed range of 40-45 miles per hour. We made the conscious decision to purchase a new Honda for our daughter to ensure she would not have to worry about unexpected breakdowns or malfunctions. Woefully, as is evidenced through incident, that is not the case. With the gravity of this situation in mind, I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter. I believe it is crucial that a thorough investigation into the power steering failure be conducted, acknowledging that the malfunction predates the accident and that Honda is responsible for the subsequent damage and distress.

Vehicle steering sticks and at times and locks while vehicle is in motion on highway and roads. Requires max effort to return to center and at times vehicle tries to follow lines on highway even with adaptive cruise control and lane departure system turned off. Very unsafe steering with almost a few accidents due to loss of control.

Good day, while driving home from city of Philadelphia on May 1st 2023 at 8 pm on rout 95 north bound for 1&1/2 hours of stop and go at 10mph or less, once we passed the obstruction of traffic (placement of new over head sign), regaining speed limit the steering was very difficult stiff like having very little power steering. I am 59 and remember vehicles w/o power steering. Once off the highway on suburban streets the steering seemed to be pulling me off the road towards driver side and a warning would appear that I was departing lane when I reacted to pull towards middle of lane seemed like it was way to much and quickly finding my self in the next lane over, (very scary) thank god no body was in that lane. Happy to be home arms very tired. The next day I read over the owners manual for I do not drive the car often and followed the procedure to shut off driver assist. While driving after disabling driver assist the unit came back on by it's self with in ten minutes and would randomly tell me to brake. I did google this and apparently I am not the only one. Currently have an appointment with the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from.

Good day, while driving home from city of Philadelphia on May 1st 2023 at 8 pm on rout 95 north bound for 1&1/2 hours of stop and go at 10mph or less, once we passed the obstruction of traffic (placement of new over head sign), regaining speed limit the steering was very difficult stiff like having very little power steering. I am 59 and remember vehicles w/o power steering. Once off the highway on suburban streets the steering seemed to be pulling me off the road towards driver side and a warning would appear that I was departing lane when I reacted to pull towards middle of lane seemed like it was way to much and quickly finding my self in the next lane over, (very scary) thank god no body was in that lane. Happy to be home arms very tired. The next day I read over the owners manual for I do not drive the car often and followed the procedure to shut off driver assist. While driving after disabling driver assist the unit came back on by it's self with in ten minutes and would randomly tell me to brake. I did google this and apparently I am not the only one.

Steering System did not exhibit issues when first purchased, and now at 14,000 miles, we have begun experiencing "sticking" of the steering column. More info here: - Progressively worsening over the last two weeks. Is not associated with an accident, or other event. - Steering wheel / rack are "sticky" at any speed >20 mph, becoming excessive on the highway, where constant adjustments are necessary, as it does NOT want to stay true straight (not biased left or right) - Noise is audible while at idle and trying micro-adjustments left/right - When Lane Keep is turned on, the vehicle MOVES from the center of the lane, to bias greatly and ride the RIGHT line. If another vehicle is there, there would be contact. No fault codes, and the system remains on, even while riding the right line. - This is NOT SAFE, and more so on the highway. - There are NO fault codes being triggered. Honda does NOT have new steering rack parts available. They are backordered 6 months! There is no SERVICE bulletin available from Honda, yet, all the dealer technicians are saying they are seeing more of these all the time. The Dealer Technicians are advising that the car is NOT SAFE to drive, and advise not to drive it. Honda has no loaner vehicles available anymore. This is a HUGE issue, and needs to be addressed immediately.

* At times the steering wheel locks up and won't allow you to make adjustments in either direction while you are driving. The steering seems to freeze up. The steering then all of a sudden seems to release in response to you trying to correct the direction of the car. This causes the car to then jerk while it feels like the steering releases. It also feels as though you are fighting with the steering to keep car going correct direction. Very annoying and concerned about my safety. It is available for inspection and has been inspected by Pensacola, FL Honda. The first time was in 2022 and they found nothing wrong - despite my concerns and I feel the problem obvious. Problem persisted. Had others drive as I thought I was being crazy. In 2023 I returned to same dealership was told known problem. Electronic power steering rack. Part on back order until July 2023. In military and have to drive this car over 1000 miles end of May 2023. Getting run around from same Honda dealership and American Honda Motor Co. I am concerned for my safety with the drive I must make. Dealerships are independent and don't work together. American Honda Motor Co. independent of dealerships. Have to have part ordered with order number for try and get help from American Honda Motor Co. Was told to have part ordered by Honda dealership in Omaha, NE by American Honda Motor Co. Need part before drive of 1000 miles made. I have done this and now I wait. Concerned about my safety and others when I drive this vehicle. I have no other vehicle to drive. I saw NHTSA on 3/25/23 investigating what I feel is this problem. Risk associated with problem "which increases the risk of a crash and injury." Very frustrating such a rich company with net worth of $45 billion dollars worries about profit over safety. *No warning lamps or messages have ever appeared.

When I am driving my steering wheel is sticky, wonders left and right and I keep having to correct the steering it feels like the steering where clicks back and forth with no sound it does not drive safe and it is hard to turn the steering wheel. Yesterday I was driving on the freeway and out of no where the brake light on the dash popped up 3 times and the car started to pull. When I turn on the lane assist a different time the brake like on the dash came on and it pulled to the right hard. This is very scary and unsafe! I just bought this car and the steering wheel issues needs fixing very scary and unsafe to drive there needs to be a recall.

After driving for 30 to 45 minutes the steering becomes sticky and won’t got straight veering left or right slightly. The wheel often gets stuck veering left and needs extra force to bring it back often causing an over correction. Started at 22000 miles. This happened during winter months but the last two weeks during spring I’ve noticed it less so it may be related to colder temps. Also gets stuck in curves wanting continue turning by itself rather than straightening itself. On a couple occasions when the lane keep assist is activated it veers strongly to the opposite direction also need extra force to bring the wheel back to center.

Since owning car, steering sticks sometimes as though the “auto-steer” is engaged but it holds the wheel in one position. More effort than normal is required to turn wheel. Feels like it is sticking. Happens almost always at highway speeds.

Around mid-March 2023, with around 6,000 miles on the odometer, I noticed that the steering wheel feel becomes stiff, sticky, and jerky - generally at highway speeds after the car has been running for some time. Steering Wheel takes more force than normal to make small steering adjustments, and this leads to larger, uneven, and sometimes unsafe steering adjustments. We have owned this vehicle since new in May 2022 and this problem did NOT exist prior to now. No warning messages have been observed, and this problem exists with the Lane Keep Assist Feature (activated by button on steering wheel) is On or Off. This vehicle is going into a dealership to be tested on 3/24/2023.

At this point no accident has happened. The steering wheel becomes stuck or unable to move at times when making small adjustments while trying to maintain control of the vehicle. It also becomes stuck more so when turning at about a sustained 45 degree turn. The wheel becomes rigid and does not respond to drive input and has caused a reaction with over steering as a result when trying adjust to compensate for the sticking of the steering wheel. The lane keep feature of the cruise control seems to play a factor and after it has been used the problem is substantially worse. I do like to drive the car for fear for my safety. When taken to the dealership, I was told nothing is wrong and that it’s part of the vehicles handling. Not being able to control a car is not part of the handling. This issue is persistent at all speeds however it appears to be more noticeable at above 44 mph

I purchased my 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport in November of 2021. I currently have 7,000 miles on my vehicle. 2 months ago, I noticed a slight sticky feeling with my steering wheel. This almost feels like I am in a constant rut and having to make slight but hard pulls at the steering wheel to make any small adjustment. This occurs when I am going roughly 40 miles per hour or higher. At first, it felt like my LKA was on but when I saw that it wasn’t it brought concern. I had a moment a couple of weeks ago where my steering wheel almost ran my husband and I into the right lane. I am worried since there have been multiple reports of others having this same issue and it got worse. I also had a moment on December 31st, 2022 where my car was put into adaptive cruise control around 70 mph and was shut off suddenly. I was not given the option to reengage the cruise control until after my car was turned off and on again. My car is currently at the dealership for these issues as we speak and my technician has said they don’t feel what I am talking about. This has made me feel unsafe to drive my vehicle and hope this complaint can join the others and help Honda send out a recall for this issue. 169 complaints about that same thing on here is a big deal. So is the thousands of Reddit threads I have found stating this same problem. Please Honda, do better and call this in or unfortunately you will be met with a lot of lawsuits I am afraid.

On Friday January 27th, I was driving approximately 65mph when the steering wheel got stuck to the right, causing me to run off the road. I hit a rut where the road meets the grass and it caused a couple of my wheel weights to fall off. Initially the lane keep was on, but I turned it off as it started pulling to the right. The car still proceeded to pull continuously until I cut it off, and then started to appear to work normally for a short period afterwards. The steering wheel already sticks in the center on most days. Now, there’s issues stopping, I’m guessing from the rut I hit. The dealer that I bought it from swears that there’s nothing wrong with the vehicle and that I’m just a difficult customer. I’ve already had it up to the dealership 5 times. There’s 88 other people already who agree with me. I have a case with American Honda Corporate, but they only agree with what the dealer tells them. This poses a major safety hazard, and it needs to be recalled before someone gets killed.

The car was attempting to correct itself even when I was in the middle of the lane. Switching lanes often caused this as well. On multiple occasions it attempted to over correct me into other drivers and at high speeds this could have killed me if I was not paying attention. Upon informing the dealership they asked “what do you want us to do”. Upon informing Honda corporate they said they would make note and send it to engineers with no direct action taken

While driving for some time the steering feels notchy like it takes more effort than normal to steer from center (only occurs for the first 5-10 degrees either direction from center). This usually becomes noticeable when driving around 30+ minutes over 35MPH, and it causes LKAS to struggle to keep the car center in the lane. Definitely a safety hazard and seeing as there are a TON of others having this same issue across all trims levels. Does not prevent me from driving but is a potentially hazardous issue if it becomes worse than it is.

There are issues with steering possible lane assist. I took it to Honda to be accessed, initially the rep tried to tell me there was nothing wrong/ didn’t understand the issues I was having. Then I was told it was a small hose that was constantly triggering lane assist feature and that they needed to take the dash apart and install this part they claim they special ordered. I left my car at the service center for several days. They reported they had replaced defective part And the issue had been resolved however, It’s been 2 weeks and the car is worse than before. The steering wheel is stiffer than before and makes a clicking sound when turning any direction. I’m afraid of an accident because the issue forces the driver to constantly. The service guy claimed it’s not dangerous just something annoying. I feel frustrated because this shouldn’t be happening with a car that I just 1 year old

2022 Honda Civic Sport current milage: 21,000 miles. I have had this car since September 2021. Ever since my first day of ownership, the LKAS system for assisting the driver with lane guidance constantly fights me. Often, the car turns the steering wheel by itself to hug the left lane line, often passing over the line and causing the Lane Departure warning to activate, shaking the steering wheel. This issue has occurred on the right lane line as well, but typically the issue is with the left lane line for my car. This happens every time I drive my car. I took my 2022 Honda Civic Sport to a Honda dealership about a year ago to look at the lane departure issue. The mechanics were able to replicate the issue, however nobody knew what to do as no codes were supplied by the car. The employees acted as if I was stupid as I explained my issue, with video proof, however their doubt changed when their test drive concluded. I was later informed by Honda dealership employees that the car was "supposed to guide towards the lane lines." I am not confident that any car is "supposed" to do anything as dangerous as the 2022 Honda Civic Sport LKAS system; this issue will increase the likelihood of accidental sideswipes on multi-lane roads, or loss of control in poor road conditions as you have to yank on the very stiff steering wheel and constantly apply pressure to oppose the LKAS system. Another issue with the same 2022 Honda Civic Sport is that the ACC system malfunctions. For no reason at all, in perfect driving conditions and no warnings at all, cruise control will turn itself off. This is dangerous as I do not anticipate the deactivation of the system, leading the car to significantly decrease in speed on the interstate without. The system cannot be reactivated until the car is recycled; the vehicle must be pulled off the road to correct this problem. Nobody at the dealership knows what to do about the cars they sell.

The steering wheel doesn't allow me or the lane keeping assisting system to make small adjustments. It's sticky and may cause over adjustments. Please check the link below. Most of the users have the same problem. https://www.carproblemzoo.com/honda/civic/2022/2022-honda-civic-steering-problems.php

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 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

Starting around 38k miles the steering will get stuck in the middle position causing me to use extra force to free the wheel. This causes an over compensation and swerving. It’s especially worse at higher speeds than 40 mph. I feel this could cause an accident. It happens with lane keep assist on or off. I have not seen any fault lights on the dash and have not taken to a dealer or mechanic yet, but I will soon.

While driving, the steering wheel will stick and require extra effort to turn the wheel. While not currently life-threatening, this has all the potential to become fatal. There has been some reproductions at service centers, but my vehicle has not been inspected yet, and there are no warning lights or prompts.

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.

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.

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.

The electrical system does not read my phone , my phone is an iOS device. The lane departure is not accurate and it needs to be calibrated.

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.

in a few different events I have had my 2022 civic but emergency brake with no object in front of me and pull me out of the lane instead of steering me in lane. I have provided Honda with video and picture evidence and they can't seem to do anything to fix it and I can no longer comfortable use those features and feel safe driving the vehicle.

When I was driving on the George Washington Memorial Parkway I came across a part of the parkway that was under work by construction. As the lane begun to end i moved into the next lane as guided by the construction barrels, but the lane keep assist function would not allow me to steer onto the part of the road that I wanted to, and actually jerked me back onto the side of the road that had the barrels, causing my side mirror to collide with the barrels and the back cover came off and the mirror isn't adjustable through use of the adjustable mirror button in the car anymore.

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.
