2022 Honda Civic Steering

My steering wheel does this "sticky" thing. It's exactly what I have read about online. If I turn left the car is not turning with me. If I turn right the car isn't turning with me. Very unsafe and has almost cause multiple accidents! I took the car to the dealership and they were not a huge help. I was quoted $2500 for repairs! Unacceptable for such a new car and such a common problem!

Steering wheel is sticking at speeds greater than 40 MPH. This has been an on-going issue for several months, but over the last week it has been getting worse. The incident that has prompted this complaint occurred while driving this evening on the interstate. I moved to pass an 18-wheeler while entering a slight curve in the lanes. The steering wheel failed to respond as it should have, and I felt as if I could have been in an accident. It isn't that I could not turn at all, but the extra effort I had to use on the wheel in order to navigate only a modest curve in the scared me in that particular situation. Since it is getting worse, I have to say I'm not fully confident of my safety while driving this car. I feel this for two reasons: first, I have no idea when or where the problem might present itself, or to what degree of effort I will need to put into the wheel; and second, I feel at some point I will overcompensate and either hit another vehicle or drive into a skid. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer, but I am not certain they even test-drove the car. The invoice states it operates as normal, which means they could not have test-drove it. I described my issue in detail, even showed them the complaints on the NHTSA website, and I was told that Honda did not have a solution for the problem. There are no warning lamps present, and the vehicle is available for inspection for anyone who wants to inspect it.

When driving at 50mph the steering wheel gets stuck and requires more force in order to slightly turn the wheel, I took my car to the dealership to get my recall fixed about the steering rack but the issues persists.

Sticky steering, vehicle is hard to drive at highway speeds due to steering sticking making it impossible to make minor corrections. After making a sweeping turn the steering does not return to center on its own and requiring force to center. This was first reported at around 6,000 miles and repaired at 12,000 miles. This has now reoccurred at 24,000 miles and is persisting. according to the dealer the repair part is 4 months out. This car is dangerous to drive!

Steering is sticking when driving at highway speeds. Steering wheel requires extra force to begin steering, and after starting to turn the wheel, power steering starts at a delay. This causes difficulty making small steering adjustments and causes sudden overcorrection.

I have $32k miles on my car. I noticed within the last month, and it's getting worse, my steering is "sticky" or "Jerky". I do not use lane assit ever. 50+ if when i start to notice and gets worse the fast you go.

Steering wheel “sticky” while driving, when turning the wheel it feels like it is tight or sticky, the wheel doesn’t turn smoothly. I noticed a few weeks ago and have recently seen other complaints of the same situation.

Steering feels sticky/stuck at 40mph + after driven for awhile(10min+). Extremely noticeable at highway speeds. I’m feeling like I’m fighting my car to stay in the center of my lane. Safety is hard to maintain, hard to keep in center of lane. We’ve taken it in to dealership and they couldn’t reproduce but never took it on highway. Several phone calls to dealer. I did do the steering column recall. Dealer inspected car for this recall and took pictures to submit to Honda. No warning lights, messages or other symptoms prior to this happening. Drove with no issues until 3-1-2023. Low mileage. I only have about 7,500 on car now. Issue started around 4,000 miles. I never use lane assist. This happens every time I drive the car.

When driving, it feels as if the electric power steering is sticking. This has been happening on and off for months but has recently became every time I get behind the wheel. I notice it around 30 mph or higher (the faster I go, the worse it is). I do not feel safe driving my own vehicle. I feel like I always have to correct myself to keep my vehicle in the lane and fear of running off the road, causing an accident or lose control of my vehicle. I have taken my vehicle to my local Honda dealership and they cannot duplicate the issue. I have had 2 mechanics feel it the first time they test drove my vehicle. I have read there is a class action lawsuit for this same exact thing for the exact year, make and model of my vehicle.

Sticking steering wheel when driving long distances on the freeway and make long turns getting on and off freeway ramps. I brought my car in for service to Honda before the warranty expired at 36k miles regarding the sticking steering wheel issue, another known recall “Part 573 Safety Recall Report” and an oil change. Honda Escondido advised me that my car was good to go. I brought the vehicle back to Honda with just less than 100 miles over the 36k mark and now they advise me that the vehicle needs repair and I'm outside of the warranty period. This issue needs to be updated to an active recall due to the seriousness of danger this issue could potentially cause. Working with the dealership and corporate to get this matter resolved. *Perform a web search and see how many people are dealing with known issue.

The steering on my vehicle has started to "stick" in the center. It's only really noticeable when traveling straight at highway speeds. it becomes more difficult to stay within the lane, as the smallest increment I'm able to turn the wheel is larger than the amount I actually need to turn the wheel. So I am constantly over-correcting, causing the vehicle to slowly bounce between the left side of the lane and the right, rarely able to actually stay in the center of the lane. This increases the amount of effort required by the driver to stay inside the lane. almost feel like you're trying to pull two magnets apart to get the vehicle to go in a straight line. The steering almost feels like it's stuck in a rut and you have to pull it out and then it gets stuck again and this is never ending throughout the drive.

When I am driving the vehicle at highway speeds 50-65 mph and try to correct steering wheel a little to the left or right it feels stiff and it’s been happening for like a year. This puts other drivers and myself in danger because my steering wheel shouldn’t feel sticky or hard to adjust it while driving in the freeway. Also many other drivers of the same model 22-23 civics have reported the same issues.

Sticky steering wheel. Steering is difficult when I am driving.

While driving felt the steering wheel stick when the wheels are straight and in order for me to get back control I have to jerk it left or right but as I am driving doing that car feels like I’m constantly moving from the sides of the lane not straight anymore. At first it was highway speeds but notice yesterday that it’s at lower speeds as well. It feels like the steering wheel just gets stuck when you get your steering wheel straight, all I have to do is jerk it a little but that doesn’t seem right, had the car brand new and never felt this until 2 days ago.

When I am driving at highway speeds in a lane on a straight path the steering wanders from center. When I attempt to correct there is resistance in the steering wheel. I have to "push through" the resistance at which point the steering obstruction suddenly clears and if I am not ready for it the sudden lightness of the steering can sometimes cause me to overcorrect. As I return to center coming from the other direction I again encounter resistance in the wheel at center. This only seems to happens when the vehicle is driven straight, in turns at surface street speeds there is no detectable resistance and the wheel turns smoothly. The effect is quite pronounced at highway speed and does occur at lower speeds on surface streets when driving straight but is much less noticeable.

Issue with the steering wheel. It was hard to drive the car because steering wheel did not let me keep the car straight and ever turns, the steering wheel would fight me pushing it back which put me and others at risk where I almost hit someone. Took the the Honda dealership where I bought the car. First time that I took 12/20/23. Explained to the servicer advisor and he said it was due to a recall. Servicer advisor said it was fixed. After the 1 day driving the car, the issue was still there. Checked the inspection report and it said that according to the EPS gearbox part number/serial number label was not effected so no repair necessary. Had to take again to the dealership on 12/27/23 where they found that the issue is a manufactured part defect and they have not been able to fix it due to not having the parts and waiting for American Honda.

My civic has steering problems. It’s sticks in place and at times appears to float.Its unsafe to drive. Honda Dealership evaluation shows the steering rack and components need replacing. Parts on back order due to this happening everywhere to 11th gen civic owners. I’m told it will be the end of April 2024 before part availabile due to demand, that’s 3-4 months away, my car sits undriveable! My concern is they replace steering rack with same faulty products and it happens AGAIN when out of warranty.

When driving the vehicle in a straight road. While attempting to keep the vehicle in the center of the road the steering wheel is “sticking” and I have to apply a little more force to get it to counter steer to keep the car aligned.

Steering becomes “sticky” after driving 15 minutes. It is mostly noticeable at highway speeds. It requires extra effort to make small corrections but then releases and causes over correction. It has not been inspected but after doing research it appears to be a common problem.

Steering is uneven and unpredictable, sticky. I suspect this is from the gearbox issue identified by others. Steering wheel feels firm when turning slightly then quickly releases, causing the car to over steer. This is most noticeable when at highway speed, typically 70 mph on my work commute. This has been getting worse. First noticed at about 20,000 miles, around a year ago. Car now has 35,800 miles.

2022 Honda Civic has developed a condition where the steering wheel has begun to catch when making slight adjustments from the neutral position of the steering wheel. It is becoming more prominent over the last week and I am concerned that it will take increasing force to overcome and causing an overreaction on the road when it overcomes the area where it catches.

After hitting around 10,000 miles, my 2022 Honda Civic began having a noticeable steering issue. The wheel sticks and jerks while driving straight and requires constant corrections, made difficult by the steering quality. This issue is present during lower speeds (particularly stop and go traffic), but is particularly bad at higher speeds (50+ mph). A wheel alignment made the steering feel temporarily less jerky for about 24 hours, but the problem has returned and steering continues to be an issue.

Sticky steering feel. Needs a little force just to turn from a certain point when it starts to stick

I’ve had this car for the past two years and when I purchased it, I thought the steering wheel sticking was because the was new. Here we are two years later and I’ve having to jerk the wheel to unstick it while driving at high speeds on the freeway. I feel very unsafe when driving. I received a recall notice in the mail explaining to take the vehicle in to your local Honda dealer and they would asses the recall and repair for free, only for them to look at the problem and tell me it is not under warranty. I showed the paper once again that said they would repair it for free and they refused to do so. Please help me.

Sticky Steering. Ever since I bought this car it feels as if the steering wheel sticks in certain spots. It will drive you crazy going down the highway. Unsafe as you have to jerk on the wheel.
