I have a 2022 Honda Civic Sport with approximately 32,000 miles. Over the last few weeks, the steering has become “sticky”. Issue usually appears almost immediately driving on a straight road. The steering wheel becomes sluggish and additional effort is required on the driver to maintain lane position. This requires the driver to use additional force to maintain without slipping. No warning lights appear for this issue. Car functions otherwise as normal. Issue has been reported to Honda dealership that I purchased from. At high rate of speeds 50+ it takes additional force to maintain lane and at times does affect the safety of the vehicle. I am concerned this issue could become worse overtime. I am hoping issue will be resolved via Extended Warranty.

Steering wheels seems to be getting stuck. Caused a collision while driving. Noticed that the issue is more prominent at higher speeds. Honda of America has declined repairing the issue.
I bought my 2022 Honda Civic last week. I knew going into my purchase that there was comments about sticky steering, I didn't notice it much while test driving. I loved my 17 civic that I had to replace (unrelated) and fell in love with the look of the new civics so I went through with the purchase. A week after purchase I definitely notice sticky steering when making micro adjustments while driving above 50 mph. Specifically when turning the wheel over the 0 degree mark of the wheel, there is noticeable increased resistance. I notice it while turning at certain points as well. The wheel also does not self correct very well. Say you let go of the wheel to allow it to naturally straighten, it will get stuck at times. I'm not that large of a guy, but I do go to try to stay active so I am able to power through the sticky moments, but it is certainly annoying and unsafe at times. For an inexperienced driver or smaller individual it could definitely lead to accidents. I really hope there is a recall for this.
Every time I drive at highway speeds, my steering is noticeably “sticky.” It makes it difficult to make minor adjustments while on a curve. It has to “break free” in order to go back to straight. I took it into Honda for the recall and was told it wasn’t part of the recalled serial numbers and didn’t want to continue looking into it.
Steering system has developed a "sticky" (ratchet-like) feel. Steering is no longer smooth. Additional force is required to turn the steering wheel, which moves in small, jerky increments. Subtle, smooth steering changes are not possible, raising the risk that the vehicle will not travel in the intended direction. No accidents yet but feels less safe to drive. Car has not yet been taken into dealership or been inspected by others. It would be available for inspection upon request. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms. Problem is now pretty much continuous under most driving conditions.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving or while the vehicle was parked, the steering wheel became abnormally stiff, and the vehicle was difficult to maneuver. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V704000 (Steering). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
Steering wheel is sticky when driving on highway
I got my recall done already, however, the problem is getting worst after 2 weeks of regular driving. The steering will suddenly gets hard/stiff when driving. It makes it hard to turn and it's dangerous when driving on freeway. I almost got into an accident on the freeway because the car in the front change lane last minute without signalling, and at the time my stiff steering acting up and cause the delay of turning.
When driving straight or turning the steering wheel just sticks (jams). It is constant and in cases of turning slightly on curves, it jams and just stays jammed for a while or until I snap it back in place. Crazy my car just jumps, very scary at times. I took it to the dealer for the steering rack recall 23V‑704 I received and thought it would be repaired, but the dealer told me that my steering wheel issue was not part of the recall, it was something else.
Sticky steering at highway speeds causes it to be difficult to maintain lane.
I'm encountering a sticky sensation in the steering wheel, accompanied by clunking noises when I turn it. This poses a significant safety concern, particularly during highway driving, as it impairs my ability to maintain smooth control of the vehicle. The issue persists even when driving off the highway.
Steering wheel is sticking at speed of 45mph or above. Terrified to drive this car. Was unable to steer away from a deer running into the road out of fear of over correction and hit the deer.
Steering wheel sticks and jerks when being corrected. It makes it impossible to make micro adjustments or steer smoothly while driving. Feels very unsafe when taking curves and the wheel remains stiff.
The steering has become "sticky." I have roughly 33000 miles on the car and it started within the last couple of weeks. It occurs every time I drive. I plan on calling the dealer today to report it. It is definitely a safety hazard.
Sticky steering
While driving I find it extremely difficult to maneuver my steering wheel. My steering wheel is tightening up or glued to a certain position. I was forced to unsafely wobble the steering wheel from right to left to untighten it from being locked up, which I have found to be the only solution. My steering wheel is making my car a hazard to the road and will eventually injure or kill me, or someone else. I took it to the dealer twice and they just angrily brushed my concerns away and said that they cannot duplicate it.
I'm experience a sticky steering to the left when driving past 40mph is been going for a few months and now is getting worst, now i can hear a clunk kind of sound when driving and the steering is starting to feel unsafe, please address this issue with a recall!!!
[UNKNOWN] I have noticed a clicking sound when turning my steering wheel, sticky steering, vibration in my steering wheel, terrible grinding sounds while driving, terrible steering control as well. I have a gash in my rim from having no steering control to avoid pot holes. It’s to the point I either hit the pothole or have a head on collision. I have read that customers are having the same issues after they have the recall taken care of. (HONDA NEEDS TO DO A FULL CIVIC RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!) it’s to the point where the dealerships and customer service are giving different information to the customers affected. I don’t know what to believe anymore. Do a full car recall before someone is killed, accident’s have already been reported with this recall. It’s not right for a valued customer to go through such. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY OWN CAR!!! It’s very Disturbing to imagine driving down the road and you get into a collision and take someone’s life if not your own due to a vehicle safety recall. That should be the last thing on someone’s mind when they get into their vehicle. All of my concerns, and issues listed above are for my 2022 civic. I had my vehicle looked at today, the dealerships look confused with this issue. They have to wait for a higher up to let them know proper information as to what’s needed, the vehicle needs an entire recall!! As I said I don’t feel safe and I’m not alone. This issue is not being corrected the proper way.
* Steering wheel binds while turning left, usually around 3 degrees. Breaks free with very light touch. * Steering wheel can kick to the left while returning to neutral from a right turn * Steering wheel was strongly kicked to the left about 6 degrees while going up hill. * Going up or downhill greatly increases the incident rate. The vehicle was taken in several times for this issue. It was taken in for a recall notice, and they said they checked the parts to find nothing wrong. I'm - very - certain they did nothing. My car has since been removed from the recall notice on Honda's website. They were only to recreate the issue once since then with zero resolution.
When driving at high way speeds my steering wheel has been sticking which makes minor corrections much more difficult while at speed. With having to put in more effort to steer this could lead to an overcorrection in the turn which is a huge safety concern. This is a different issue than the current recall of the faulty EPS repair part being faulty. This is the original part in the car that is having the issue with the EPS gearbox or motor.
Over the past several months I noticed that the steering in my 2022 Civic would occasionally stick while driving at highway speeds. While turning through curves, the steering wheel felt like it would briefly lock into position and then would take some effort to turn it back on center. The problem has been getting progressively worse since then. The steering now sticks at lower speeds as well and makes noise while turning. No warning lights or error messages have ever come up. On March 30, 2024, I brought my Civic to a Honda dealership and the techs there confirmed the steering was faulty, consistent with Service Bulletin 23-037, and said my electric power steering gearbox would need to be replaced. Since the vehicle has 42,000 miles on it, the repair is no longer covered under the initial warranty. The dealership quoted me a price of just over $2,500 for the repair but said the part was on backorder and couldn't be completed at that time anyway. The service manager submitted a "goodwill request" to ask if Honda would cover the repair, but I have not heard back yet. I followed up with the dealership who said they haven't gotten a response from Honda yet either.
My son had a problem with the steering wheel steak during he was starting a trip, this was very dangerous for him, the car currently have 11 alarm in the panel with relationship the direction and drive assistance. The vehicle not has been evaluated for any mechanic or dealer, so we live in Bagdad far away of dealers.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver without warning. As a result, it was difficult to maintain control of the vehicle. The contact eventually regained control and parked the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.
When driving, the steering wheel gets stuck and I have to apply some force to get it back to its straight position.
On 4/4/2024 i filed a complaint about my sticky steering. Today 4/15/2024 about 10 minutes into my drive my tpms light came on. 10 seconds later my car wobbled a bit but it kinda felt like my sticky wheel so i thought i was ok. About 10 seconds after the wobble it did it again only harder this time. The steering wheel got locked at the 10 position and made me smash into the concrete highway barrier.
I just bought a certified used 2022 Honda civic touring on 4/13/24 with 72,000 miles and experiencing a sticking steering wheel feeling that is most noticeable driving at high speed but also driving around the city. It gets worse the longer I drive in one session. The wheel sticks and then jerks when corrected. It feels extremely unsafe. I first noticed this issue driving home from the dealship. No warning lights or messages indicating anything was wrong. Im new to these newer vehicles so i thought I had some type of driving assist on so i googled and it seems that I am not the only person experiencing this SAFETY issue. I will be taking it into a Honda dealership to be looked at.
I have been experiencing sticky steering over the past 8 months and thought that getting the recall fixed would fix the issue but I still find my self applying a little extra force to remain center in a lane driving at 60mph +. When trying to stay centered and attempt to make corrections I often times over correct causing me to sway more then usual. Although I have had any accidents yet, I do feel there is a greater risk of one just from over correcting just to get the steering wheel to move. There arent any warning light on.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was sticking and would remain stuck in a turning position without warning. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to regain control of the steering wheel. The vehicle had been taken to a dealer on several occasions where several steering repairs were performed under warranty; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact then received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V704000 (Steering) however, the contact was later informed by the dealer that the recall was no longer listed under the VIN. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Steering system, it is available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? While driving at highway speeds, the steering is sticking and requires effort/driver input to keep the car straight. While making correction, the steering seems to take additional force to get it to respond. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No
The steering often feels "sticky". The effect is most noticeable at highway speeds, where I need to make lots of small corrections to the steering, but I can also notice it on back roads. When I try to turn the steering wheel by a small amount, it won't turn, so I need to apply additional force to overcome the stiction. Once I apply enough force for the wheel to "break free," I end up overcorrecting, and I need to turn the steering wheel back in the other direction, at which point I encounter the same problem. This issue makes it difficult to maintain my lane while driving. This problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. I took the car to a dealership due to a recall on the power steering system, but they told me my vehicle was not affected and they didn't replace anything. I made another appointment to look into this issue and asked that a technician be available to I could demonstrate the problem. When I arrived, no one was available to look at the vehicle, and the service advisor told me I had to pay $175 before they would try to diagnose the problem, despite the fact that the vehicle is still under warranty. I haven't had the vehicle inspected by police or insurance representatives. However, I am happy to make it available for that purpose. There were no warning lights/messages that indicated a problem with the steering system.
