What owners say
When driving down the road at speeds above 40mph, the steering wheel “sticks” when attempting to make adjustments and when force is applied it jerks the steering wheel (and car) when it unsticks. Has happened multiple times but dealership was unable to replicate this. This has been happening intermittently since the odometer read approximately 2,500 miles. Car currently has 6,200 miles on it.
My civic Si is experiencing “sticky” steering while driving above 40 mph. Small adjustments in steering cannot be made. I need to jerk the steering wheel for it to adjust sometimes. Cannot make smooth adjustments when highway bends. There are no warning messages. This however is a well know issue happening on all 11th generation Honda civics. This is a safety issue because if you need to make minor adjustments in steering as the road bends, sometimes you have to jerk the steering wheel and it will over steer.
The steering is malfunctioning by getting stuck while driving. If the steering it straight the car refuses to turn without significant force causing a jerking. There seems to be a steering rack problem.
At high speeds the steering becomes stiff and sticks to one side. It's hard to make small adjustements and when you push too hard to "unstick" the steering wheel the car jerks left and right. This will become a much bigger issue with snowy roads and black ice.
Steering wheel is sticking when making minor adjustments at low to high speeds. When turning the wheel, initially there is higher than normal amount resistance that only last for a moment causing a driver to jerk the wheel. Issue keeps becoming more exasperated.
