10/19/2023 NHTSA recall 23V-704, Manufacturer recall YFW 10/28/2023--I rented a 2022 Honda Civic from National at airport. Leaving the airport initially I didn't notice an issue. But after traveling several miles at highway speeds, on changing lanes or making minor adjustments in direction, I noticed the steering wheel felt like it would stick, then release allowing the car to change direction, stick, then release allowing the car to change direction. This happened with each adjustment of the steering wheel. This did not occur driving at slower speeds. 11/2/2023--I had driven west from Miami Beach on Tamiami US Highway 41 and had entered Cypress National Preserve. I had reached about the midpoint between Miami Beach and Naples, missed the left turn to highway 94. Realizing I had missed m

Same issue as 400 other people the steering sticks when Turing and I have to apply force to get it it go back to center, can’t drive straight down the road past 50 it’s like I’m a drunk driver anytime I’m on the freeway I’ve had the alignment checked and it’s in spec manager at Honda approved rack replacement but no eta it has been 2 months now and I’ve already almost crashed the car and a police officer pulled me over because I was back and forth in my lane so much thank god he understood my problem and let me go and the dealer won’t give me a lender because it’s “not dangerous” I saw somebody else post it’s going to take a death before Honda does anything
Factory Ordered 2022 Civic Touring Sedan summer of 2021. Took delivery October 27th 2021. Vehicle has 17,600~ miles roughly today. Around mid to late summer of 2022 I started noticing the steering becoming semi-stiff, notchy only in centerline position of 3-5 degrees on Highway driving. All driver aides are turned off LKAS etc. Tried with on or off. Basically, any speed in excess of 40+ mph, especially 60+ mph the steering wheel at random feels lightly stuck, semi-locked, resistive at center position or anywhere within about a 3-5 degree center position requiring a slight but constantly noticeable over steer to get power steering to engage properly. Makes highway driving annoying and uncomfortable constantly using wrist to make minor over corrections slightly right/left, left/right ag
At highway speeds there starts a sticky sensation in the steering. If I’m holding the steering to the left it also feels like it sticks and fails to come back to the middle, but if I apply a little pressure it loosens immediately.
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
Steering is binding at highway speeds. I am unable to keep the vehicle in between one lane steadily because every time I make small corrections the steering wheel sticks and causes an over correction which is extremely dangerous. The problem has been inspected and diagnosed by a Honda dealership. I have been told I need a new steering rack and pinion. Upon researching this issue I have found thousands of other 2022 Honda Civic Sedan owners having the same issue with their vehicles, including another individual at the Honda dealership the same exact day I went to address my problem. This is a safety concern and it needs to be addressed and recalled for the safety of all those involved with this year, make, and model car. There were previous recalls with 2023 and 2024 civics due to similar i
Steering feels weird and the car just can’t drive STRAIGHT. It’s been like this since I bought the car and I thought it was the alignment but it wasn’t
Steering requires unusual effort. This feels completely different than a car without power steering - it's as if the steering is a bit rigid when steering right or left but loosens up once the initial rigidity is overcome by the driver. Risk is that I didn't know whether I had full control of the car. Quite scary. Problem has not been reported to Honda. No inspections have taken place. No warning lamps, messages.
Steering wheel gets stuck momentarily while driving. It feels like it skips/steps after getting released. As a result small adjustments to the steering wheel are not smooth when the problem occurs. While not touching the steering wheel, it makes a slight move unintentionally. The problem seems to occur at any speed, but less noticeable at high RPMs. The problem puts me and passengers at risk since I constantly need to give adjustments to the steering wheel.
Vehicle have major steaming issues. Over correcting constantly at highway speed. Very dangerous to drive. Brought to dealer. Cannot duplicate the problem. Car curently has 35k miles as I commute everyday with this vehicle. Steering is getting stuck in certain positions. Causing myself to oversteer the vehicle. Does it most at 60-70mph going straight
Steering is sticking when making normal minor corrections while driving. This causes the driver to have to over-correct to get past the sticking point. When driving on the highway, this makes driving dangerous, as an over-correction moves the vehicle closer to other vehicles or barriers.
When driving above 45 mph the steering wheel stiffens or sticks. It is unsafe to drive with this issue because it causes the car to slightly swerve to get the wheel to unstick. When turning I can let go of the wheel and it sometimes gets stuck in a sideways position instead of spinning back like most cars do.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at slow and at high speeds, the steering was sticking, which required added effort in steering the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but no fault was found, and no repairs were performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
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.
I just hit 30k miles on my civic. And I started noticing the sticky steering. It feels like the steering wheel gets stuck. This is a headache for all 11th gen civic owners. REPLACING THE STEERING RACK DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WE NEED A LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA!!!!!!!!
I’ve notice sticking in the steering wheel 2 days ago and seems to be getting worse especially the more I drive. So when driving and not turning for a sec or two two make adjustments in steering weather it’s right or left it gets stuck. I have to put a litter force into it to make steering adajustmenst.
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.
The beginning of November 2023 while driving on the interstate, I started to notice difficulty keeping the car in the lane from side to side in the lane with minimal adjustment to the steering wheel. When I return from my trip I brought it to Honda dealership to have it looked at. They said they couldn’t duplicate the issue that was it about 17,000 miles now I’m at 19,000 miles. The issue is getting worse today while driving on the interstate I barely touched the wheel to correct it to stay in the lane And it pulled to the left causing me to have to pull on the wheel to the right to keep it in the lane. I was not using any of the lane keeping assist safety features. This tends to be worse at higher speeds which is why the dealership says that they can’t duplicate the issue you have to get
Steering wheel sticks while driving in a straight line above 40mph. Causes significant driving corrections to be made to the steering wheel especialy over 60mph.

I was driving down the highway and I got sprayed by a truck, but the wiper would only clear a small portion of the windshield. There were 2 large pockets on the driver and passenger side that the wiper didn't even touch. This issue only occurs in winter. I believe this is a safety issue because I can't see out the window and the wiper system clearly has some issues. I believe Honda should have added a heated wiper park to this car. My old CR-V Touring had heated park and I did not experience such an issue on that vehicle.
