I have received 2 recalls regarding my steering rack. I did have the gear box worm wheel spring replaced but that did not solve the problem my steering was sticking, hard to turn , clunking it would veer off to the right. I took it back to Honda dealer and was told it was dangerous to drive my whole power steering rack needed to be be replaced but Honda said it was not part of the recall I had to pay for the repair. They did give me a discount but my car experienced all the system under the recall to replace the power steering. My Honda is a 2023 and I had to pay over $2000 to have fixed. I would like to know why my car is not included in this recall.

I received a recall notice for my vehicle in November 2024, and immediately called Honda to schedule an appointment for repair. My original date for the recall repair was scheduled for 12/7/24. Days before the repair was scheduled to take place, Honda called me to cancel my appointment and claimed that they did not have the available parts needed to complete the job. I asked to reschedule my appointment and the dealer refused, claiming that parts were back-ordered. I was told that they would call me during the first week of January 2025 to reschedule. When the dealer did not reach out to me, I called them several times and left messages. My calls were not returned. Finally, I was able to get someone from the Parts Department on the phone, who claimed that there was a national back-order on the necessary parts for the repair. I expressed concern for my safety as my steering wheel has been locking up for the past several months, but was told that there was nothing I could do but wait. It is now March 2025, 4 months after I received the recall notice, and I am still without an appointment. Despite my repeated appeals for help, Honda continues to endanger my family and me by refusing to repair my vehicle in a timely manner.

I am writing to report a critical safety concern regarding the recall of the steering system on my 2023 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback. Honda has informed me that the repair will not be available until July 6, 2025—an unacceptably long delay for such a dangerous issue. This delay forces me to choose between risking a potential steering failure while driving or being without reliable transportation for months, despite this being a new vehicle. I request that the NHTSA take immediate action to: Require Honda to expedite repairs. Ensure they provide temporary solutions like loaner vehicles or rental reimbursements. This issue poses a serious safety risk to drivers, passengers, and others on the road. I urge you to investigate and hold Honda accountable for addressing it promptly. Thank you for your attention.

Honda reported a safety recall on this vehicle. Our situation is that the vehicle has been in our garage (in Texas) waiting for my grandson (who was on deployment) to return home and has not been driven. I called the local dealership only to be told that Parts are not available, I proceeded to call Honda and was told the parts were limited (so therefore there are parts available) for those that have experienced a problem. With the recall issue and the Safety Risk involved, I believe that Honda should make diagnostics available to the owners of this model. The issue is a manufacturing problem occurring in production, and it is not a window motor issue or a door/hatch back door problem, this is mechanical and as stated on your website, this has a POTENTIAL INCREASE IN THE RISK OF A CRASH OR INJURY. My grandson will be driving back from Texas to Yuma Arizona (1341 miles/19-hour drive) through a lot of baron highway. I am fearing that something could happen on his journey and could have been avoided if the vehicle was allowed to be diagnosed. I have contacted Honda and Dealership with not empathy from either one. I wish to file this complaint as a precaution if anything were to happen.

I have been having problems with my steering wheel. I took my car in September 14th for steering problem. The associate said it’s the alignment without checking the car I asked to first assess my car before assuming the issue. He called me saying it would be $180, I said I would go elsewhere and he asked if I was going somewhere else and how much were they charging I said $80 and he said he would do it for that price. I get it done and I’m still experiencing the same issue. I was told to wait a little to see if the issue would go away and a month passes and I still am experiencing the same issue. My car is pulling, sticking and hard to turn the wheel when driving. I take it back in October and he mentions it’s a recall. I said well I am experiencing the same issue as I would when I first brought it in and he said well you needed an alignment. I have had this vehicle for only ONE year and was told I did not need an alignment done. I have not been able to drive my car for over a month. I was driving on the freeway and my wheel locked and I almost got into a car accident. This is a safety hazard that has caused me to be without a car. I have been going back and forth with Honda of America and the finance team because I have been paying for a car for 2 months that has not been drivable.

Dear Honda Customer Support Team, I want to address an urgent safety concern with my 2023 Honda Civic, which has been affected by the recent recall (NHTSA Recall Number: 24V-744, MFR Campaign ID: SJS) issued on October 3, 2024, for 2022-2025 This recall addresses a defect in the steering gearbox worm wheel, which can swell during use, resulting in a reduced grease film thickness between the worm wheel and worm gear. Additionally, the worm gear spring preload was set too high, increasing friction and causing the steering to become resistant. This defect can create dangerous driving conditions, significantly raising the risk of a crash or injury. On multiple occasions, I have experienced instances where the steering has become unresponsive, effectively “locking up” while driving. These occurrences have been extremely distressing, impacting my confidence in the vehicle's safety and contributing to substantial mental distress. Additionally, I have noticed recurring issues with the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system, such as electrical malfunctions that cause the car to stall unexpectedly, activate the automatic stop feature, and produce erratic sensor behavior. I have reported these concerns to my dedicated dealership, but unfortunately, the issues remain unresolved. On November 2, 2024, I brought my vehicle to White Plains Honda at 61 Bank Street, White Plains, New York 10606, after scheduling my appointment two weeks in advance. However, I was informed that the replacement part required to resolve the steering gearbox defect is on backorder with no confirmed availability date. Considering the safety risks associated with driving my vehicle in its current state, I am deeply concerned about the indefinite delay in repairs. Given the critical nature of these safety concerns, I am formally requesting an immediate replacement vehicle to ensure my safety and that of my passengers.

The steering wheel start shaking, delayed, hard to steer because it was stiff. I had gotten into a collision on the freeway due to not being able to control the steering wheel. There no other vehicle involved in the accident. On October 5th 2024, the recall was issued but I didn’t receive any warnings till I went online to do research. Honda did not reach out in an orderly fashion. The police and my insurance company were both there to aid the situation. There was no warning lamps at all. My vehicle is currently at LIA Honda located in Albany, NY. It has been 2 weeks since I called to file case with Honda’s Headquarters and still have not been assisted.

I was driving at highway speeds and my steering wheel started to "stick". It also started "sticking" when turning slightly. In order to stop the steering from sticking I had to make drastic steering adjustments. This puts not only myself but others at risk because it lessens the control I have of the vehicle. As this issue started happening more and more I took the vehicle to the dealership multiple times in order to find out and fix what the problem was. The dealership would never drive the car long enough to replicate the issue as it usually begins after driving for about 30 - 45 minutes.

2023 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Steering is 'sticky,' making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel, it is like it has to 'break free' from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 40-45 mph, regardless of the driving mode. The issue is getting worse the more I drive. Honda sites show no open recalls for my specific car. This 'Sticky Steering' issue is purportedly attributed to possible defects in STEERING GEAR BOX, WORM GEAR, WORM WHEEL, WORM WHEEL TEETH components. I will be addressing this safety issue with a local Honda dealer.

I purchased the 2023 Honda Civic Sport as a certified pre-owned vehicle from Key Honda in Rutland, VT. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle I began noticing what I would classify as sticky steering when driving down roads above 35mph or so AND when the ambient air temperature was 40 degrees fahrenheit or colder. The steering requires more effort from the driver to break it free from the stuck position, and it occurs after traveling straight for a period of time. This is definitely a safety risk as overcorrection could cause an accident or could cause the vehicle to leave the roadway. I have brought the vehicle to Key Honda in Rutland VT for diagnostics and they informed me some newer Honda Civic vehicles do have defective power steering boxes or defective steering racks, but according to Honda my vehicle is not considered to be one of the vehicles with the known defective steering components. I respectfully disagree and urge you to press Honda to expand the list of Honda vehicles that are included in this recall bulletin. Thank you.

For about a month, I've noticed sporadic changes in steering feel. It can happen while making minute changes going straight (when you shouldn't really feel the steering at all) or on rounded turns. The steering is heavy, like the feel when lane keep assist activates, but it's happening when lane keep isn't on, so the heaviness is more steering force than usual for the conditions. It happens for an instant and then is back to normal. When new, the steering feel on this car was wonderful, which is why it's been so noticeable recently. There are no warning lights or messages on the dash. I have not raised with a dealer yet.

The steering like to jerk or stick. It’s sometimes hard to control. It looks like I’m drunk driving to stay in the lane. I think the component that controls the lane assist or lane keep is malfunctioning. Driving on the highway is even more terrifying. Just trying to keep the vehicle in the lane. The dealerships have found nothing wrong and have no idea what I’m talking about. No lights or warnings came on.

My 2023 Civic Touring Hatchback was recalled earlier this year for a EPS issue. I brought it in and they did a very short “inspection” at the dealer and told me I was good to go and there are no issues. Driving home the car didn’t feel different than when i first dropped it maybe an hour before. As time went on the problem (being sticky steering wheel and having to make minor adjustments above 35-40mph) went on as well and has gotten worse to the point where i don’t feel safe driving highway speeds. i have gotten the car checked out elsewhere at 2 different shops and they say all is good mechanically so the problem with the EPS gearbox is still outstanding. 2023 civic touring with 5k miles. This vehicle does not stay in the lane, does not drive straight, and absolutely doesn’t feel safe.

The Electric Power Steering unit is faulty. The steering locks up when driving above 30 MPH. A bit on input is required to unlock the steering wheel from the current position. The vehicle is difficult to maneuver as the steering wheel will lock in a direction, which means I have to constantly correct the steering wheel. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership and noted that the part is defective. There were no warnings or messages. I started to feel the wheel get stiffer and harder to drive. This occurred around November of 2023. The parts have been backordered since December of 2023 with no estimated delivery date.

My car is afflicted by a common steering issue experienced by other owners of 22-23 model year civics. The steering becomes “sticky” or “notchy” often at highways speeds. It is most noticeable when making small steering adjustments to stay in center of lane, and it takes more effort than normal which causes over correction and difficulty staying centered. It creates a more stressful drive in heavy traffic and creates a higher rate of driver fatigue on longer drives. On a long night drive, I have experienced enough fatigue from trying to maintain center of lane that I’ve needed to pullover and rest frequently. I have described the issue to one dealership but the problem is intermittent and they have not yet observed it or done more than a basic inspection. However, there is a wealth of anecdotal data online in owners forums of people who are experiencing this, with varying levels of success with getting their dealerships attention and meaningful action or resolution. Honda has released a service bulletin (23-037) which matches my issue, however people are now reporting that the issue continues even after getting a replacement EPS gear box. Therefore it is my opinion that this should be escalated to a recall, and that Honda take more action to resolve this known issue before it results in accidents (particularly through driver fatigue or inability to maintain center of lane accurately). I have also started to notice noise from my steering system when stopped or at low speeds, which makes me worry that the steering issue is worsening over time and will become an even more significant safety issue just outside of warranty (I’m only at 22,000 miles currently).

While driving at any speed and sometimes when stopped the steering wheel jerks and shutters and is resistant to correction when diving with the lane assist off. It is more noticeable when driving at speeds over 45 mph/ It feels like the steering wheel is sticking. There is also a slight knocking sound that I recently noticed that accompanies the steering wheel “twitch”. It is very disruptive to my driving experience. This happens every time I drive and started around the 1500 mile mark on my vehicle.

Experienced sticky steering while driving down highway. Felt resistance in the steering wheel when trying to make a minor correction. It required additional steering effort to overcome the resistance.

Steering wheel has some resistance when trying to correct while driving. Steering is 'sticky,' making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel, it is like it has to 'break free' from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 40-45 mph, regardless of the driving mode. My concerns were confirmed by a mechanic shop in my area who acknowledged the steering issues and also other family members. During the last time making periodic revision on my Civic I mentioned that and no action had been taken by Honda dealer. As more miles I drive the issue grava-te, making har to keep the vehicle in the lane as above described.

This was a single car incident (no other cars involved). The car was going on the 270 degree curved onramp to enter the highway. Lane Keep assist (LKAS) came on at or near the end of the onramp which caused the vehicle to head from the inside part of the lane/curve towards the left side of the onramp lane/curve and toward the left side retaining wall. Driver attempted to course correct but steering was not responsive in time and the car hit the left side wall completely disabling steering. The car came off the left wall and went across the onramp lane and struck the right side retaining wall before coming to a stop. Airbags did not deploy. Seatbelt may not have locked/tightened at impact with the wall either. LKAS initiated the move into the wall, the steering was stuck/non-responsive or perhaps slow to take driver input. Multiple previous reports to the dealer about steering being problematic were each unable to confirm a problem and this vehicle was not considered part of the existing potentially related recall. The LKAS is believed to have engaged with flashing warning just before crash. After the crash, the driver seatbelt "red X" shows on display, a LKAS error shows on display, and a supplemental restraint system error shows on the display.

When going straight for a period of time down the road at speeds above 40mph or so, and the needing to make a slight right or left adjustment to the steering, it feels as though steering sticks momentarily and requires more effort to make a steering adjustment. This is scary and not right. So far, the Honda dealership where I purchased the vehicle as a certified pre-owned car has said there is nothing wrong with the steering. This definitely seems like a safety issue and something Honda needs to issue a recall for. I don't feel the car is safe for my wife to drive or for my kids to ride in.

The steering wheel feels funny and weird, sometimes stuck and wandering. the car doesn't feel secure driving with this problem. I took it to Honda Dealer service but they said there are no recalls for this car and my car has 20K only.

The vehicle has “sticky steering” at highway speeds. The steering wheel seems to get stuck on something and doesn’t move very smoothly. While it is manageable, it is a known issue that I’m not entirely sure Honda is addressing. I’d mentioned it to the dealer and they told me Honda knows it’s an issue but they don’t have a resolution so they should be putting out a bulletin saying it’s a normal part of the technology. However, it can be kind of scary at highway speeds. It doesn’t make me feel safe on the road at all times. I know there is a steering rack recall but they claim the two are not related. I have not taken my car to the dealer for them to reproduce the issue but in the civic community it is a big issue that is happening to many people. No warning lights or codes come up. It just doesn’t feel safe especially considering it happens at 60+ mph.

There is a recall on other similar vehicles but my VIN isn’t showing as one with a recall. However, I am also experiencing “sticking” while steering. Brought the car to the dealership and received conflicting information. We were told that the tech was able to replicate the issue we stated when he test drove the car. Dealer ordered the part, which appears to be just a bolt that they stated was back ordered for 3 weeks. This was the second time we brought the car. The first time, they supposedly just took a photo of the part number to see if it was part of the recall or not and never inspected the vehicle thoroughly. We are concerned that the dealership is not doing their due diligence to ensure our safety. AJ, the service rep from Honda West said he can’t really confirm whether it’s safe to drive the car or not when I asked him what we should do until the part arrives. Then when I asked about a possible rental car because I feel unsafe driving the vehicle, he said that Honda doesn’t consider this a safety issue so they can’t provide us with a loaner or rental car, but continued to ask us if we wanted to leave the car (for 3 weeks). We are concerned that not all vehicle part numbers related to the EOS issue have been identified to be included in the recall. Hoping for some assistance.

Steering wheel sticking, hard to make minor adjustments.

Steering wheel sticking, hard to make minor adjustments.

Just want to document/share an issue I've had recently. 8k miles 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Sedan. The steering wheel sticks at times. Driving straight and in turns. It's a slight stick, but increasingly more noticeable. While driving straight it happens if I don't touch the wheel for a few seconds. Then I'll need to make a minor correction and it's stuck. I have to put some decent pressure on the wheel to make it unstuck, which causes an over-correction. If i steadily make corrections it doesn't stick. Same in a turn. If I am making a slow or wide turn, wheel stays in same position for a second, it doesn't just roll out of the turn easily. I have to force it to come out of the turn. Again once it's unstuck it feels fine. Leaving it in one position for more than a second or two initiates the stuck. It is annoying.. I have read some Forums [XXX] ) and there are countless Civic owners that have same issues with no fix and they have been complaining that Honda dealerships are not fixing the issue n saying that they didn't see the issue. I hope Honda owns their mistake and fix my car along with others INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have a new 2023 civic that is still under manufacture warranty. The steering becomes stuck when driving. When driving, and you turn the vehicle a slight bit, instead of the steering straightening itself out, it stays stuck. So you have to forcefully keep making micro adjustments. I have shown it to a honda dealer ship and they agreed it was a manufacturers defect with the steering rack and have placed an order on the part. But theres so many cases of this that part is on back order and honda has yet to provide me with a solution in the meantime. So I have to keep driving a defective car thats basically brand new and honda wont even provide me a rental car.

This vehicle has sticky steering which seems to start or become much more of an issue after driving the car for about 30 minutes. The effort needed to turn the steering wheel increases, especially when making small corrections like freeway driving. The issue starts become very notable around 35-40mph and increases in "stickyness" as you travel faster. The steering wheel is hard to get it to move, and as it comes free it causes an overcorrection. It makes it hard to stay straight in a lane or to correct a turn after changing lanes, especially on the highway. This issue is dangerous at highway speeds and extremely annoying at slow speeds. Last week I almost sideswiped another vehicle after changing lanes on I-5 because the steering stuck so bad. Another time I almost went off the road. This issue is unrelated to the current active recall for the steering rack and does not go away when I turn steering assist off. If you listen closely while traveling at around 30-40mph, when the steering sticks, when it releases a slightly audible clunking sound can be heard coming from the front driver side of the car. This sound is hard to hear on rough roads but is obvious when the pavement is smooth. This issue has been reported and discussed by many drivers in online forums and may be related to the worm gear in the steering gear box. I experience this sticky steering problem at all speeds, temperatures, and lengths of time driving. I purchased my vehicle new about a year ago and it has 11,420 miles on it. The issue started somewhere between 6-7,000 miles.

After about 6000 miles on the odometer, my vehicle started experiencing the "sticky steering" that other owners of this vehicle have been experiencing. When driving at about 55+ mph, the steering wheel gets very stiff, making adjustments to steering much more difficult. The issue was on and off, but it has occurred several times within a span of a few days. After this discovery, I took the car back to the dealership to try to get it fixed under warranty. It has been about 30 days and the issue is still not resolved.

Issue has not been looked at by the dealer or a mechanic. Reporting "Sticky Steering" with some observations and would like to be an example or participant in finding the root cause. Current milage is about 12,000. Issue began around the 7-8,000 mile range. Notice that the steering, as you make minor adjustments while driving to stay centered in lane it takes more effort to move the steering wheel slightly but then gives and sometimes the car overcorrects. Occurs at any speed on the road, typically more pronounced, or much more concerning on rainy days in traffic, especially tight lanes, rain and fast moving tractor trailers encroaching on the line. Observation recently (because my radio was off and the car was very quiet) I noticed that even sitting at a traffic light, you can hear the give, or release at the "sticky" point. Makes me think it should be fixable or fairly easy to identify.

I took my car in because the steering wheel feels like it gets stuck and starts shifting my car to the left. I have to turn the “sticky” wheel until it snaps back from shifting. I had scheduled a service because it felt very unsafe and then the day before I took it in, I noticed there was a recall. However, when I mentioned it to the tech he said that the recall didn’t affect my car and that everything was good. I took it to another service center where they found the issues- steering rack issue. BUT NOW the parts on back order and it’s progressively getting worse! It feels safe to drive and that’s the only mode of transportation I have!

Steering is "sticky" at higher speeds, taking more force than usual to turn or make adjustments. During these situations the steering wheel also does not return to center by itself when completing the turn. There is also a "knocking"/"clunking" noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary or at low speeds. Vehicle mileage was at around 25,000 miles when the problem was detected.

However, when I mentioned it to the tech he said that the recall didn’t affect my car and that everything was good. I took it to another service center where they found the issues- steering rack issue. BUT NOW the parts on back order and it’s progressively getting worse! It feels safe to drive and that’s the only mode of transportation I have!

Steering is "sticky" at higher speeds, taking more force than usual to turn or make adjustments. During these situations the steering wheel also does not return to center by itself when completing the turn. There is also a "knocking"/"clunking" noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary or at low speeds. Vehicle mileage was at around 25,000 miles when the problem was detected.

Steering wheel 'sticks' or requires greater force applied to move the wheel while traveling highway speeds making small adjustments to steering causing overcorrections to steering to counteract the issue. This creates an unsafe and unpredictable driving situation. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership who is 'unable to reproduce' the issue on short tests. The issue only presents after the car has been driven at highway speeds. There are no warning lamps indicating any issues.

The electric power steering is sticking when you turn the wheel slightly. My local dealership failed to fix the recall on my vehicle and labeled it as fixed, when they simply verified the recall matched serial numbers on my car and did not fix the issue.

My 2023 Honda Civic Touring steering will stick and cause a momentary increase in steering effort to compensate for the sticky steering. This occurs at highway speeds which adds to my concerns. I understand the NHTSA has been investigating this occurrence and would like to make it known that my model and VIN # are experiencing this issue. My automobile currently has 3,000 miles on it.

At highway speeds and sometimes lower, steering becomes sticky/feels like it has notches and requires additional pressure to move wheel

When I’m driving at any speed going straight, my steering wheel feels sticky and clicky when barely attempting to straighten out.

This vehicle has sticky steering. The effort needed to turn the steering wheel intermittently increases, so you have to pull the wheel harder to get it to move, and then it turns too far. This issue is dangerous at highway speeds and extremely annoying at slow speeds. This issue is unrelated to the current active recall for the steering rack. This issue has been reported and discussed by many drivers in online forums and may be related to the worm gear in the steering gear box. I experience this sticky steering problem at all speeds, temperatures, and lengths of time driving. I purchased my vehicle new 13 months ago and it has 6,700 miles on it.

It takes increased effort to make necessary steering adjustments on my steering wheel. It’s most noticeable from the 12:00 ‘o’ clock position and I’m making small adjustments. I notice the problem after roughly 30 minutes of drive time.

I believe my steering has failed. I got it looked at, the dealership reported that nothing was wrong with it. My safety is at risk because it is hard to steer. It jerks on the highway. I believe it is cause my wheels/tires to also jerks and swivel. My car feels very shaky on the highway. I have not taken it to another mechanic because the dealership has already said they would not reimburse me if someone else replaced it. I have a warranty and do not want to pay a crazy amount of money if the dealership will cover it anyways.

My steering wheel gets stuck when I’m driving on the highway, causing me to have to pull the wheel to unstick. This happens frequently, every couple of seconds and makes driving feel less safe and I feel like I’m zig zagging while driving. I’ve notified my dealership since late December of last year and still have not been able to get a repair, there is no estimated time for getting the part which Honda says is on back order. Honda has denied to provide a rental while I wait and offered no alternative solution while I wait. I’m worried that driving the car like this puts me and others at risk for a car accident. I bought the car brand new last September. Any help you can provide to at least make Honda provide speedier repairs.

Sticky steering

I bought my car in July 2023. The steering wheel always felt stiff but i assumed it needed to be "broken in" so I thought nothing of it. Since November 2023, my steering wheel feels sticky when I'm driving straight. Sometimes it feels like I'm fighting my steering wheel before it allows me to adjust it. I've gotten it inspected at the dealership and the technician was able to reproduce the sticky feeling. There hasn't been any lights illuminated that would've signified a steering issue.

My steering wheel is sticking. When I'm on a straight road it seems to get stuck especially wind the wind is blowing. This is something that's happening continuously. You have to try and over correct it without snatching the wheel.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was steering to the right independently. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was determined that the vehicle needed an alignment. The vehicle was repaired, however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was then taken back to the local dealer, where the transmission fluid was flushed; however, the failure persisted. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V704000 (Steering) however, the recall repair was not performed. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

"Sticky" steering is the problem. Not constant but now almost every time I drive the vehicle. Most of my driving is in town so some 30mph - 55mph roads. It happens at any speed in that range. Rather than the normal smooth steering, the steering wheel gets stuck, not like you can't control the vehicle but little 1/8 to 1/4" spaces where you have to turn the wheel harder left or right to break the "hold" and sometimes back and forth in both directions it will just continue. It does make it difficult to stay in your center space of your lane without bebopping back and forth. I don't know for sure but a police officer might even suspect something is wrong with you if following from behind. No warning lights on dash. I brought the 2023 Civic into the dealer for recall 23-085 + the sticky steering I described. The service advisor told me they could not duplicate it, which I expected but the car was ready for me to pick up! She even told me a service manager with the most years of experience took it out and couldn't duplicate it. That was mildly impressive bringing in the veteran of the group but when I left with the car, I looked on the invoice and saw that Mileage in was 2218 and Mileage out was 2219. 1 mile (or less) to try to duplicate a problem, with steering? The way I came to this conclusion of the problem was by searching for on the internet and I found that it was already being looked into by the NHTSA. I even shared a link with the service provider before picking the car up hoping for some actual service and was told: "I fully understand the concern but if we cant duplicate it i cant just order a part and hope it fails when honda corporate gets the part for inspection we have to duplicate it to be sure we are ordering the part based on actual findings. If that happens, then Honda will make us take the part back and "own" it. I love my Honda dealership overall and the Service Advisor was great but I think her hands are tied. This was disappointing.

When driving the car after about 30-35 MPH, the steering wheel becomes a tug of war. Steering will continuously get stuck in a certain direction, causing operator to continuously over correct steering. This is becoming more and more of a problem, which is now a danger in driving. The dealership has confirmed the issue after inspecting the system and driving the car. There has not been any warning lights what so ever when this failure started. Honda should be switching drivers out of there cars for newer year. Car has only 9800 miles.

When driving at freeway speeds and some in town speeds 40 mph and up and also when turning at those speed especially on banked turns the steering becomes stuck and takes a lot to unstick and momentarily scary. And you can hear a click or clunking noise when it unsticks. Sometimes after driving the car for a long period you can feel it get stuck by just sitting still and turning the wheel to the left and holding it for a few seconds as you would be in a real turn and it will stick and clunk. I’ve even went into a bank to turn a couple times and was able to let go of the wheel and it maintained the turning angle by itself without any lane keep assist options on at all and it has done this multiple times. Also after driving for a good amount of time when you were on the freeway at speeds of 60 to 70 and maybe even faster the car will not drive straight it will click to the left or just click to the right so I basically zigzag down the lanes. It is not smooth like traditional steering. I took it to the dealer and they said they took it on a drive and it could not replicate the issue but I think they did not even take it on the freeway because there is no way it did not do that again because when I left it was still sticking. They said they checked the EPS and it passed inspection no repair necessary but it is still sticking. The Honda dealer I took it to just kept telling me this is normal driving conditions and everyone complains of the same thing and they tell them that it’s all normal. The safety risk is when you give it a hard push to unstick it sometimes it goes almost into the next lane like over correction and could possibly hit another car and cause an accident. No lights or sensors came on the dash at all this has been going on for the last I would say 10,000 miles getting progressively worse. I don’t think the dealer actually drove it long or far enoughThey seem like they wanted me out of there and I was making this up.

I have noticed this issue sporadically when traveling at speeds usually below 50 mph. I've mostly only noticed this when traveling straight. Sometimes it will occur in small turns though. When the steering wheel is in the same position for some time (usually when traveling straight) and small corrections are needed to stay centered in the lane, I notice the steering wheel itself have a "sticking" type feeling. It requires more than a normal amount of force to get it out of this "sticking" feeling and resume normal control of my steering wheel. This is concerning because it affects driving safely. For being such a new car it is unacceptable.

While driving the vehicle on an interstate for 40 miles, the steering became "sticky" and the vehicle was difficult to change lanes/turn when needed. Vehicle has 2700 miles and it only happens when at highway speeds. No lights are on the dash. Vehicle has not been to a dealership yet.

I had been driving for a few hours and my car suddenly became difficult to steer. This is the first time this has happened and was very scary. The steering wheel would lock up and stick while driving on the highway. The only way to unstick the wheel was to overcorrect the steering wheel by pulling it to one side, which made me slightly swerve the vehicle. The car does not feel safe to drive anymore.

While driving on a highway/straightaway, after the vehicle is warmed up for 25-30 minutes, the steering wheel feels stuck while it’s straight up and down, and then skips/jumps/slips as slight adjustments are made to remain centered in the lane. I expect it to be smooth while making these small adjustments to stay centered in the lane. Sometimes you must force the adjustment to remain centered and the skip/jump/slip is more drastic. One time, I had to use more force than normal and almost over-corrected and crossed lanes. This has been happening with this vehicle for about 7 months now. Every time it's driven, this happens. Honda service says it's that lane departure feature and it's normal. I have even experienced this a couple of times while the vehicle is stopped—if you slightly adjust the steering wheel, the steering wheel feels like it is stuck and if you force the steering wheel it releases and skips/jumps/slips. This does not happen all the time.

The steering “sticks” and while driving it is necessary to oversteer to keep the car in the lane. This is a problem at all speeds but is especially scary at highway speeds. The car has just started doing this and has not been to the dealer yet. We have the same model car that is one year older than the one I am reporting here. It has the same issue and the dealer agreed to replace faulty steering components but it has not yet been fixed. I have already reported the other vehicle.

Steering wheel is sticking. Took it for service at Piazza Honda in Limerick Pennsylvania and I was told that they were aware of this issue on the 11th generation Honda civics. They do not know of a fix and currently have 2 other Hondas there with the same issue. This is a major safety hazard. I do not feel safe driving this car or putting my kids in the car.

My steering is becoming very stiff at speeds above 45mph. When making minor adjustments on the highway the steering requires a lot of force and sometimes will slip before actually engaging. This happened after the car reached around 10,000 miles and has been more prevalent during the colder months.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, upon attempting a turn, the steering wheel required increased effort, with the contact manually turning the steering wheel back to center. The contact then became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the steering column sleeve. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: EA23003 (Steering). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.

Slight sticking in steering at speed when making minor adjustments to stay within lane or coming out of a turn back to center. It seems to occur more often in colder weather. - 15,000 miles on car. - Taking to dealer for inspection 1/30/24. - No warning lights.

I believe this is related to investigation EA23003 [XXX] When driving at highway speeds, the steering seems to "stick" in position when the wheel has not moved for a short time. It seems to be more obvious on longer drives. This interferes with fine steering control like staying in lane and causes overcorrecting. I bought my car new and received it in January of 2023. I didn't start noticing it until maybe around May and it has been becoming more noticeable. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

my new car with 3k miles has the steering lock while going straight at 40MPH plus . it must be over powered which at that time will dart left or right. this just started and has gotten worse in one week and my wife will no longer drive our new car

intermittent issue, but steering becomes sticky;maintaining car in between lanes can become difficult and overcorrection becomes frequent. stickiness can occur at highway or city speeds. Took car for routine maintenance to dealer and they confirmed problem with steering gear.

Starting at roughly 10,000 - 11,000 miles, while going 45+, and after driving for 10+ minutes, the steering has seemed to become sticky and no longer has a smooth operation. It almost seems like it gets jerky/slightly stuck for a split second each time you start to move the steering wheel.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various highway speeds the vehicle had experienced a sticky steering wheel and would not immediately respond when turning in either direction. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 2,000.

The problem I am experiencing is with the steering on my 2023 Civic. I have seen it referred to online as "sticky steering". Basically, the steering wheel/system initially resists attempts to turn the wheel from its present position. Once this initial resistance is overcome, required turning effort is smooth until the turn or correction is complete. Then the steering seems to take another set and the initial resistance must be overcome again. I first noticed this problem in late October or early November 2023 when the car was about 4 months old. I subsequently received a recall notice from Honda for a potential steering rack assembly issue that I thought might be causing the problem. I brought the car in to the local Honda dealership for the recall, but found that the recall issue was not causing the "Sticky Steering" (See Attachment). Instead, my Civic was experiencing a different problem common with 2022 - 2023 Civics and already known to Honda. However, there does not appear to be a recall on this "sticky steering" issue. The local dealership ordered a replacement steering gear box to fix the issue (see attachment). The replacement gear box was due in by December 31, 2023. Recently, I contacted the dealership and found out that the replacement gear box was delayed until February 28, 2024. In my opinion, this is not acceptable for an issue that could result in an accident if extra precaution is not taken while operating the vehicle.

This vehicle currently has 10100 miles on it. I noticed that at highway speeds, the steering wheel is sticky/stiff while going straight and requires extra effort to keep the car straight. The steering is not smooth like it should be.

Steering wheel sticks in position. More apparent on highway when trying to make minor steering corrections. Sometimes taking significant force to free the wheel from its stuck position.

My 2023 civic steering wheel seems to stick when I'm driving. If the wheel is kept straight for a second it "sticks" and requires a good bit of force to become "unstuck". When driving at highway speeds getting it unstuck usually causes it to jerk and in turn overcorrect constantly. There are no warning lights and I currently have an appointment to take it to the dealer for inspection.

The steering wheel of my 23 Honda Civic EX sticks. It feel like teeth in the steering wheel. At lower speeds it's very simple to do a slight turn of the steering wheel and feel it "click". At higher rates of speed, the steering wheel sticks and I can literally take my hand off the steering wheel and the car will continue its turn as the steering wheel looks into place. This has caused me to fight the steering wheel and not veer into another lane or oncoming traffic. No lights illuminate and trying to get to the dealership to have it looked at. This has been an ongoing issue but more prominent today than it has been. Research online shows Honda knows about it but isn't fixing the problem and my VIN isn't in the range of steering columns they are fixing for other issues.

This steering wheel is having a “sticky steering” problem. The wheel tends to get ‘stuck’, and the steering wheel needs more adjustment to correct the issue, however, another overcorrection is needed to compensate the initial steer, which increases the likelihood of an accident. I have not had an accident, but I have had 2 close calls with other vehicles on the highway. I will cite the most recent one below. The dealership has reproduced my issue and is planning on implementing a fix. I have provided the dealership Service Bulletin 23-037. No warning lights/lamps illuminate whatsoever. According to the car, this is treated as ‘normal’ behavior.

At approximately 15,000 miles we started noticing steering issues. We've had the steering wheel lock up on the highway. I was attempting to make a minute correction to stay in my lane and was unable to move to the steering wheel. I had to grab the wheel with both hands and jerk forcefully to free the wheel up. Most of the time the steering issue is more subtle. Varies between momentary locking to momentary steering lash. The dealer stated no service bulletins or recalls affecting my VIN. No vehicle warning lights associated with the steering issue. I have not yet had the dealer test drive it. I feel the issue is too subtle most of the time for someone who had not been driving the vehicle since new to notice.

Steering wheel sticks. Noticeable on highway

Steering wheel sticks. Noticeable on highway

My 2023 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hatchback which I bought new in May 2023 which now has 10700 miles driven and was serviced by my Honda dealership in Fall 2023 now exhibits a "sticky" or "notchy" steering wheel sensation off of dead center steering at straight line highway speeds. It is gradually becoming more noticeable so I am going to report it to my dealership. There are no warning messages. I've turned off the lane crossing safety warning device because this symptom resembles that sensation. I've ensured my tires are at the recommended PSI. I'm not comfortable driving it for long distances on the interstate because this sensation increases with time and mileage driven.

When going around 50mph+, the steering wheel tends to feel "stuck" in the middle, which causes you to overcorrect it to the side, causing the driving to feel super unstable. When I take it to the dealership, they keep saying there are no warnings on diagnostics, so I get the car back with the same issue still happening at random times. Please help! There are tons of online posts about this same issue with the same model of Civic and it doesn't seem like dealerships know what to do about it. It's a very uncomfortable way to drive a car and feels very unsafe.

Intermittently, and only within the past 2000 miles or so, the steering will begin to have a notchy feel during highway driving. The steering requires excessive force to move the wheel and then the wheel jerks and causes the steering to do the same. It is very dangerous and unsettling at highway speeds. The issue seems to only occur above 45mph, but again, it is not happening every time I drive above 45mph.

I have a steering wheel that sticks at highway speeds around 50-70 mph while driving straight, my steering wheel sticks. The honda dealership says it's fine. I believe they greased something during my recall inspection that made my steering not as noticeable. He said everyone has sticky steering but that honda has no fix. My tires are balding at an extreme rate and very uneven wear. I have been arguing with the dealership and have given up. I also have a valve cover that is leaking oil. My car has 35k miles

Steering wheel feels stiff while driving on the road and difficultly keeping car in lane

When driving the wheels feels sticky and would sometimes get stuck in positions only when driving highway speeds above 30 mph. Making minor adjustments while driving feel harsh.

Steering is sticky in nature. Is not stuck but demonstrates small temporary resistance to steering wheel inputs. Steering wheel then snaps free and is easily moved about. Honda Dealer Reno, NV found no discrepancies with steering. No codes set. Problem seen is mostly freeway speeds and when moving steering wheel to stay in lane or to change lanes.

About 30 minutes into a drive the steering wheel or electronic steering will begin to malfunction. When driving at high speeds, you are unable to make small minor corrections to stay center in your lane due to the steering wheel feeling like it’s sticking in one direction. It takes a considerable amount of force in order to make the correction resulting in an over correction. When traveling at high speed this can put the driver and passangers at risk because an over correction can cause the car to lose traction with the road. I’ve taken the car into Honda and it is currently being inspected. They told me yesterday that they were ‘having trouble replicating the problem’ which doesn’t mean the problem isn’t there. As far as I know and seen there have no being any light indicators on.

On my 2023 Honda civic sport the steering wheel is sticking specially during freeways speeds. I took the vehicle to Stockton Honda in Stockton Ca . According to the tech he was unable to reproduce the sticky steering wheel. (To be noted the car had the same miles as when I dropped it off at Stockton Honda ) this vehicle is unsafe for me to drive.

Sticky steering at highway speeds. Seems to be worse when turning the wheels slightly to the right. Started right before 12k miles.

The issue typically occurs at highway speeds. When driving the steering wheel becomes very difficult to turn and binding or jerking when making minor corrections. Sometimes needing a lot of force to jerk the wheel back after it sticks. When making adjustments at cruising speeds, the steering wheel at times is difficult to turn away from the 12 o’clock position. Though no one has been injured at this time, there is serious concern that this issue could cause steering overcorrection resulting in a crash especially for my 17 year old daughter.

Having issues where the steering is sticking on my 2023 Honda Civic. When I'm at speeds of 40 MPH and above and I attempt to make minor steering adjustments the steering begins to stick. It takes a greater amount of force to move the steering wheel and often results in an overcorrection within the steering. Have not taken to the dealer yet as I've heard there is no immediate fix other than replacing the steering rack with the same faulty one. There have been no warning lights of any kind.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, and at various speeds, while turning the steering wheels, the steering wheel failed to return to center, and the contact needed to manually turn the steering wheel back to center. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent at first but had become a recurring failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the electric power steering assist was failing and there was no fix available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

Steering is sticking/notched at top dead center steering wheel position. Requires significant force to overcome and results in jerky steering control. Repeating issue causing difficult vehicle adjustments & control.

While trying to make small adjustments to the wheel, such as while driving on the freeway, the steering wheel sticks and has to be moved more harshly to adjust. This causes the car to jerk and makes it very difficult to make steering adjustments.

No warning lights. Around 10k miles my car began being hard to steer, requiring more force on the highway to maintain the wheel. It was sticking. I took it to the honda dealership who told me nothing is wrong with the car and did nothing about it. It is under warranty. I feel unsafe when driving at high speeds and being able to maintain my lane.

The steering in this car exhibits a kind of twitching. The steering wheel twitches very slightly as one travels along a smooth or grooved highway at posted speeds. It's feels like the system is always trying to auto-correct -- and NO lane holding or lane departure or auto-steer feature has been turned ON. It's almost as if something in the steering system is loose or that gears are not meshing as they should It's quite disconcerting. I've read your Honda Service Bulletin 23-037 and believe it described my issue.

At high speeds (60-70) the steering wheel has resistance making micro adjustments. The common “sticky steering” issue that many have complained about. This started happening at 4000 miles.

Sticky steering. Look at many online forums and there is ton of complaints about it. You can be driving straight down the highway and as soon as you want to make a little adjustment, it feels like you have to fight the steering wheel. By the time you overcome the force necessary to "break" the steering wheel from its stuck position, you're already headed into the other lane. It is even more dangerous when this occurs on curves and ten times more dangerous when this happens and the road is wet due to rainy conditions.

Power steering has begun to require more effort to make fine adjustments with at highway speeds. Often sticking in one place and requiring more force than normal to make the adjustment. This can create an over correction situation which can result in an accident/loss of control of the car.

After about 15 minutes of highway driving, wheel feels stuck when trying to make small lane adjustments. It requires much more effort to move the wheel for a small increment, then releases. This process continues until turning off the highway. This was dangerous, as it was difficult to steer the vehicle properly without overcorrecting while traveling 40-60mph. Dealer was able to reproduce the issue and has since replaced power steering rack. Issue occurred under 3000 miles.

UNKNOWN. Steering wheel problem on a left turn after a stop sign that veered offroad into a culvert crash.

While driving on the freeway at normal freeway speeds, after 5-10 miles the steering gets sticky. When attempting to make minor steering adjustments to stay within the lane, it takes an extra measure of force to move the steering wheel. It is necessary to concentrate constantly in order to not overcorrect.

Steering in a straight line has become virtually impossible. The Steering Wheel feels "stuck" in position when driving straight or even at a slight curve, with no self-centering or smooth motion. In order to correct, I have to push the steering out of its stuck position and as a result, it over-corrects, requiring another correction - i.e. zig zag motion. Every movement of the steering wheel near its center position requires extra effort and a "push" or "click" out of its stuck position. This has made navigating difficult and inaccurate, with 12-15 of this small "un freeze" movements per mile. The problem has gotten progressively worse, starting around 28,000 miles. I am now at 32,320 miles. Voss Honda in Tipp City performed a front end alignment and wheel balance to try to address the problem. This did not address the issue. I commute from Dayton to Cincinnati for work which is 140 highway round trip. This steering issue requires all of my focus just to maintain any sort of centering in my lane, without any smoothness or micro-adjustments. I am finding it particularly difficult in construction zones that are narrow. The problem is present every time I drive the vehicle, at highway speeds and even lower in the 35-45mph zone. It often sticks in position and will guide me off the road or into another lane unless I FORCE it out of its stuck position.

The steering is the issue. After driving down the highway at highway speeds for about 30 miles, the steering becomes "sticky" or takes extra effort to pull the steering from its position. There were no warning lamps. The issue is getting fixed under warranty, but I had to do research and take the Honda Service Bulletin in on the issue for them to fix the problem. Before that the dealership stated they had never heard of the problem. There are obvious safety issues attributed with extra steering effort such as not being able to avoid collision.

At about 7,000-8,000 miles, I noticed after driving several miles at highway speed, the steering starts to feel sticky, The steering wheel no longer moves smoothly. This makes minor steering adjustments more difficult. The problem seems more pronounced in warmer weather (50F or above). The lane assist is NOT on. I talked to my dealer and they claimed they have no reports of this type of problem. I told the dealer it is all over the internet of hundreds of reports of this steering issue in Civics. The dealer wants to test drive the car overnight but the issue is not as obvious since colder weather has moved in.

The steering wheel jerks at highway speeds. It has been to the dealer for steering rack recall from Honda and they said the part number did not qualify for replacement. All systems checked out as working properly. The problem still exists. New tires have been placed on the vehicle and the steering problem still exists. The dealer has been of no help in resolving this issue. Attached is the service receipt and the day they checked the recall for the vehicle.

Steering wheel feels stickey when I am driving on the highway. I need to apply extra pressure to keep the vehicle in the proper lane. I just completed a four hour trip and became very tired due to having to make constant corrections

Driving on freeway on 12/2/2023 and the steering became difficult to handle. It felt that I lost my power steering. I exited the freeway and the car's steering seemed ok after all. The steering was fine for the remainder of the day. The next day, the problem happened again on a freeway. I can steer the car, but it requires more effort and it seems a bit jerky.

The component / system failed is steering, and it is available for inspection. My safety (and others safety) was put at risk because the steering is sticky - it forces me to overcorrect when I am driving straight at highway speeds. While driving the car on the highway on mostly straightaway stretches, my steering sticks and forces me to correct to stay on a straight course. When I try to do that it overcorrects and forces me to move in an unexpected and unsafe way. I almost hit the car next to me when this first happened because it was so unexpected. I brought the car into Plaza Honda dealership at 2700 Nostrand Ave, Brooklyn NY 11210 on 9/28/23. We told them about the recall info and problems we were having with the car. We were told there were no current recalls on the car, and they advised that the car was "operating as designed". (See attached documents) There are no warnings, no warning lamps and no other symptoms - just sudden inability to control my vehicle The first time this occurred earlier in 2023 when the car hit about 10,000 miles

My steering is very stiff/sticky when traveling at highway speeds. A lot of other cars of the same year, make and model are recalled for faulty steering rack. However, mine is not included in the recall therefore I’m stuck with a brand new car that is unsafe to drive.

Steering becomes sticky when driving over 50 mph. It is difficult to make minor adjustments when driving.

Steering becomes sticky when driving over 50 mph. It is difficult to make minor adjustments when driving.

Periodically when traveling at 30 MPH and higher, the steering becomes difficult to make adjustments when going straight or negotiating curves. There’s a sticky sensation which requires higher efforts to overcome. I’ve taken my car into the dealer on two occasions, but they were unable to replicate the problem. The problem is often but sporadic.

Even when assisted living keeping is off, the steering will try to throw me out of the lane where i have to constantly have a good grip to try stopping it from swerving the vehicle I tend to notice it more on highways especially in areas where the black line is on the road from lanes shifting over due to construction. •I believe it can be a huge safety risk that can cause an accident if someone isn’t fully attentive to the problem and not holding the steering wheel hard enough. •no warning lights or messages regarding parts affected by the problem. • The problem has not been reported , inspected, nor confirmed by the dealer and/or other parties. •I noticed the problem start around or before 1000 miles (my first month having the car)

Sticky steering wheel, lock steering, clicking sound, Terrible rear seats buckle, hard to click it. i have a 2023 Honda Civic, with all the recall issues, but my Vin number didnt make it to the recall. I've taking my car to Honda of Long Beach, Ca. They didnt find or fix anything. please help! I don't know what to do!

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.

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.

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.

The steering wheel is getting stuck in the original position while traveling over 45 mph, requiring a hard jerk to get it unstuck.

My steering has started to feel “notchy” when making small adjustments while driving. Almost feels as if the steering is binding a little bit at highway speeds. Struggling to keep it centered inside the lane while driving. This been happening more often every time.

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.

When steering the car the steering feels “stuck” when trying to make slight adjustments to maintain the car in its lane. Extra force is required to make minor steering adjustments causing over correction.

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.

Sticky steering

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.

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.

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.

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 stick while driving above 40mph

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.

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.

- My steering malfunctions. The steering becomes "notchy" which causes jerking motions rather than smooth turns. - Safety puts others at risk as steering becomes less than 100% accurate and smooth. - Brought it to dealer and they said they could not reproduce. Likely because the issue arises after driving for some time. - Dealer says they inspected and claims there is no issue. - No warnings, messages or other symptoms prior to steering malfunction.

Steering wheel suddenly became stiff, gives resistance to regain control of wheel.. this happens when driving with computer aids on & off.. When driving straight with very minimal movement of the wheel the steering becomes locked in that position and will force car to drift out of lane. This problem occurred in highway and city travel.

My brand new 2023 Honda Civic Touring with 3100 miles on it has begun developing a steering issue. When driving at speeds of 40MPH or higher, when my steering wheel is dead center, the force required to move it left or right has become noticeable that I really have to use force to get it to adjust. It's almost like it's locked or sticky. This is a frequent occurrence when trying to maintain lane centering or making small adjustments during small twists and turns on the roads. At first I thought my lane keep assist was malfunctioning, as the sensation of the system correcting for you is similar, but even when lane keep assist is off, this problem still occurs. Concerned about safety, maneuverability during unexpected situations... it's also really bothersome and distracting, you're constantly having to force the wheel to move to stay in lane. Will be taking it to dealer for an assessment, however this does not appear be an isolated issue and searching google yields very similar results to my experience. Should be investigated and remedied.

I was doing 28 mph with both hands on the steering wheel and was about to start declining down a hill, so I lightly touch the brakes. The car left the roadway. The steering wheel never turned. I hit a pile of rocks which launched me into the air landing on a 500 pound boulder which totaled my vehicle. There was only 561 miles on the car and as a result my insurance tripled. I know suffer from PTSD because I no longer trust any vehicle! I also had a very sore neck for weeks following the landing. I reported to the insurance company which was Progressive that there is definitely a defect within the car. I even reported it to the regional office as well. Nobody seems to care! I am a good driver, and at the age of 51 I have not had any accidents. I have no doubt in my mind that the 2023, Honda Civic has a major defect and many lives are at risk!

Took car to the dealer in June 2023 and complaint that Steering is 'sticky,' making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel, it is like it has to 'break free' from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 40-45 mph, regardless of the driving mode. Car is not driving smooth. Paid dealership for a balancing. Took car back to dealer in July 2023 and service diagnostics reported racked steering problem, and this part was on BACK ORDER. Apparently the issue has been reported several times with by other customer. Currently the dealership is waiting for the part. This is a potential safety issue. I have requested a loaner car to avoid operating my car constantly, but of cause there where no loner vehicles available.

The steering system malfunctioned; It is available for inspection upon request After driving about 5 miles from work, I entered a freeway and accelerated to blend with the flow of traffic. Something was terribly wrong. The wheel became difficult to manage and would not steer properly. I increased my grip, I felt that I was losing control, constantly trying to reposition the car in the lane. I was not able to exit the freeway but got off the freeway when I found a side street that I knew. There were warning messages that I was going out of the lane. My safety or the safety of others was compromised. I never experienced anything like this. This is a new leased car and I have had it about 5 weeks.

2023 HONDA CIVIC TOURING - DRIVER SIDE STEERING RACK MAKING A CLUNK AND RATTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR, STEERING WHEEL MAKES CLICKING NOISE. SOUND REMINDS ME OF A VERY OLD RUSTY CAR THAT EVERY SCREW NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. WHEN DRIVING AT A STEADY 50-65 ON HIGHWAY STEERING WHEEL STICKS CAUSING DRIVER TO MAKE FORCEFUL DANGEROUS SEVERE PULLS TO GET OUT OF STUCK POSITION. TODAY 4/24/23, I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE STICKY STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS MY SECOND HONDA CIVIC THAT SUFFERS FROM THIS DEFECT. PRIOR 2022 HONDA CIVIC SPORT HAD TO SPEND 1 MONTH AT THE DEALER AND STEERING RACK STRUTS HAD TO BE REPLACE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER INCIDENTS.

Steering at speeds of 30 mph and higher seem to stick in position and is harder than normal to turn wheel

The lane keeping assistant is glitchy. When driving with lane keeping assistant turned on if I pass a turning lane the car tends to want to veer of into the turning lane. The biggest problem is that it takes a really firm tug on the wheel to actually stay in the correct lane and has caused me to over correct a few times veering slightly into the opposite lane. This has happened multiple times.

Steering feels weird and has over corrected. Sometimes sticky and wandering. Car has 25 miles on it. Odd steering feedback . I am very concerned about the safety of a car I just paid 60K for.

While driving in a straight line or in turns where the steering wheel stays in the same position for more than a few seconds; the steering wheel sticks at times. As mentioned previously, it happens when I don't make corrections for a few seconds. It is a slight stick but is noticeable. It requires a more than normal/reasonable amount of pressure to make the steering wheel unstuck. This has led to some over-corrections. The problem seems happens at various speeds but I find more noticeable between 40 to 70 MPH. Lane Keep Assist is turned OFF.

While driving at about 60 mi/hr my car veered suddenly to the right and the power steering seemed to not work. The steering required vigorous correcting to maintain vehicle control.This continued for several minutes and it felt like the power steering was not working.when I finally stopped the car in a parking area I got out and checked the tires. Originally It had felt like one of my tires going flat. I turned off the engine and when my tire were checked they were fine.This happened on 1/25/23. When I restarted my car it ran normally after that. On 1/27/23 I took my car for inspection to a dealership for inspection. They could not identify any problem and my car was ok since 1/25.Nothing was fixed but I stressed that they begin recording my initial and any future complaints.
