12/31/2023 ODI #11562793.0

Driving on 1000 mile road trip on 12/30. Vehicle has 6800 miles. First noticed very minor twitching, then as day went own by the time I stopped for night the steering had noticeably gotten worse. It went from twitching about half hour after I was on highway to four hours later it was very prominently sticking or catching at the slightest turn in road. Both left and right. I am terrified if it’s safe to drive the last 400 miles and Honda dealership is closed until Jan 2. There is something very very wrong with this make/model. It’s all over the internet and people are saying the steering part is on back order for months!!! Why is there no recall yet? There is no doubt this is a safety issue. I can’t drive thru the mountains not knowing if my steering is going to out.

When driving, especially on the interstate/high speeds, my steering wheel feels to be locked into place. I am unable to easily turn left or right to stay in my lane without a jerk/sticky feeling in the wheel. It feels like I have cranked the wheel as far as it will go, but the wheel is centered. The steering wheel will also occasionally randomly jerk small amounts either left or right. It makes interstate driving feel very unsafe and like I do not have full control. I had my alignment fixed a few months ago, but I have not taken it back to the dealership for this issue. No warning lights/messages.

Cars steering jolts to the left or right when making minor adjustments at all speeds. Sticky steering. This needs to be addressed and a recall needs to be implemented immediately. This is not safe. When making minor adjustments when steering, there is an obvious wall of resistant that jolts as soon as you overcome that resistance by adding pressure. This can cause serious injury or death due to jolting steering, especially at freeway speeds. Please do something about this issue immediately!!!! 2023 CRV BUILT IN INDIANA MID 2023

The steering system recently began to have a sticky feeling after driving straight for a minute or so. After the release that requires extra pressure, the steering is fine until the wheel is going straight and the stickiness returns. appears to be the same issue that has been noted in Civics. Dealer thinks the same thing and a recall just hasn't been issued yet.

The steering wheel of my vehicle becomes tight while driving and sticks when turned, especially at higher speeds. At slower speeds, a slight turn to the left or right will result in increased resistance and a “bump” as the steering comes back to center. At higher speeds, the steering wheel is tight and almost feels stuck at center. Once the wheel is turned is will briefly stick in that position and has to forcefully be returned to center. This sometimes results in almost overcorrecting while driving. The steering is loose when the car is in park or at a stop, but once in motion there is a distinct difference, to the point of causing a sore neck/shoulders from holding the wheel.

-What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Steering seems to lock when in a constant wheel position, either going straight or slightly turned for a large diameter constant turn. Steering frees with larger than normal force resulting in a jerkiness feeling. The needed effort could ketch the driver off guard and over or undercurrent. -How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Steering feel is unnatural and makes small corrections in steering input difficult. Driver could over correct or not overcome the initial resistance resulting in an unintended path of travel. -Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Experience with local dealers in the past is that if it isn

I got to know that I have two recalls open since October 2024. I called Honda campaign to follow up on the recalls as and I opened a case with them on [XXX]. The case number is [XXX]. I was referred to the dealer and when I contacted the dealer who sold my car, he said that he is repairing cars based on a waitlist and that parts are not available with them for both recalls. This car with its current condition is not safe as it is since I have 3 kids who frequently ride the car and one of then is a one year old baby and I saw similar cars went in serious fire due to those recalls. I need help to have this resolved ASAP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
