2022 Honda Civic steering complaints
Page 8 of 26: complaints 191 to 220 of 734, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Steering was sticky and almost caused an accident. It has been evaluated by Honda dealership and was diagnosed with the steering rack needed to be replaced. This vehicle has been in no accidents, nor driven recklessly and is not driven on inappropriate roads. The issue started around the middle of February and car was evaluated around the 22nd of February. No warning lights or messages were present. The only reason the car was diagnosed was owner intuition.
Steering is sticky at speeds above 40mph. Noticeable when making slight adjustments while maintaining lane. It is so sticky at times that it creates an overcorrection. This occurs even in corners, not just straight lane paths. Dealership has inspected the vehicle 3+ times telling me they cannot recreate it.
Experiencing steering issue associated with EPS Gearbox defect as found on Honda Service Bulletin 23-037, entitled 2022–23 Civic EPS Gearbox Replacement. Date for this bulletin is July 6, 2023. Symptom: Steering effort complaint while driving at moderate or highway speeds, with possible complaint of noise at slow speeds, and no MIL illuminated or DTC stored. Steering wheel is notchy and is very fatiguing at speeds over 40 mph.
I'm December of 2023 the steering started jerking left and right while driving. Honda also issued a recall related to steering in December of 2023. I took my car in for the recall and was advised the my car was safe to drive. The dealer advised that to resolve the jerky steering a new steering rig/box would need to be ordered. The issued has gotten persistently worse since December 2023 with no confirmed dates for the replacement part.
AMERICAN HONDA REFUSING TO ACCEPT that these vehicles they care more about profit than actual safety of customers and dealership even though my warranty expired they wont take in consideration to fix either sticky steering wheel situation which becomes dangerous driving not just on regular roads but worst on highways if you dont correct yolking or force steering wheel back in place you will get in bad accident its either from the steering rack itself or Sticky steering wheel that these new 2022-2023 or newer honda civics they are manufacturing at high rate that they dont care in inspecting it. They need to fix it. These corporations get away with alot and enough is enough they want money money money but not fix something they are aware about and push it upon customers.
The steering wheel in my car is sticking. This happens after about 20 minutes of highway or city driving. this happens especially when i turn to the left, or try to keep my car in the middle of the lane, it jerks back when I try to move it. I see other people have had this same issue on this model.
The steering wheel is “sticky” and has to be hand corrected at certain angles. Once you steer too far left or right, it gets stuck in that position
Vehicle has "sticky / notchy" steering when driving above 40mph, issue worsens with higher speed. Any minor adjustment make to the steering just to stay in the lane, steering gets very tight and when extra force is applied to move steering wheel it then releases and causes overcorrection. Issue especially dangerous when going around a long sweeping turn or corner, steering will get so tight the steering wheel gets stuck, to the degree that you can let your hand off the steering wheel entirely and the wheel stays in the turned position on its own. Tightness progressively getting worse over time.
I recently purchased a 22' civic EX used less then a week ago and noticed the steering wheel acting almost as if its sticking/catching when driving 45-50mph+ and doesnt want to correct unless you pull/yank to get out of turn. Ive also noticed having to make many small corrections while driving even in a straight line like it wants to veer due to the constant jerkiness almost like an alignment issue but tighter. It is a safety concern especially with how hard it can be to correct; even worse on the interstate at higher rates of speed and more traffic. Issue seems to gradually get worse, the warmer the car is. Took car in to Music city Honda to be inspected, they test drove and noticed issue. Was unwilling to fix bc my car is just outside of warranty. Manufacturering errors/issue should be fixed free of charge!! Told me it would cost $3200 roughly to repair! The car was purchased from dealer with the issue! Called Honda Corporate to file complaint, and now filing here. This is really an unacceptable issue!
When traveling at highway speeds the steering is starting to feel "sticky". Making small adjustments to keep the car driving straight are starting to require more force leading to slight oversteering.
Having to adjust the wheel to maintain a straight path while driving. - Steering resistance for minor adjustments while driving at highway speeds. - The wheel sticks, causing the driver to need more force than usual to turn When more force is applied to break the wheel free from its stick, the car may overcompensate in that direction - When turning, the wheel will maintain its position, not slide back to center, if hands are removed from the steering wheel
Sticky steering wheel causes difficulty in steering. Car requires adjustment constantly to keep it straight and the steering wheel is hard to adjust. Took it to dealership and they say it isn’t part of the recall but it’s not smooth when turning.
Steering switches from stiff to loose while driving causing the vehicle to jerk when that occurs. This occurs at all speeds. Honda Service says the issue is related to the EPS and that it must be replaced. This is an issue affecting many Civic owners that Honda is not taking responsibility to fix. This is a safety hazard.
The steering when driving above 25mph, the steering wheel seems to stick, having to always jerk the steering wheel slightly to get it to unstick
Steering is best described as “notchy” or “sticky,” it feels stiff. Minor wheel corrections on the highway cause the car to overcorrect and overcompensate steering. Small adjustments made while driving do not feel smooth.
The steering mechanism of my vehicle exhibits noticeable resistance (stickiness), necessitating constant, minor adjustments to stay centered in my lane, particularly when traveling at speeds over 40 mph. This condition is a significant safety risk, as it could lead to excessive steering correction during emergency situations at highway speeds, which might cause a loss of control over the vehicle. Although I have reported this issue to the dealership and told them about the TSB 23-037 issued by honda, they have concluded that there is no recall with the vehicle and want to charge me a diagnostic fees and keep the vehicle with them for multiple days. The vehicle is in warranty. I contest their evaluation, believing that the problem has not been adequately addressed.
For several weeks, I have noticed while driving, the steering feels like it is sticking and catching. It feels as though the steering locks into place which causes an issue with trying to control the steering as well as issues with turning the wheel while driving the vehicle. This is a major safety concern. I took the vehicle to Buckeye Honda located at 2615 N Memorial Drive Lancaster, OH on [XXX] regarding my concerns. Keith Vanatter a technician at Buckeye Honda test drove my car and verified my concerns of a sticking steering wheel and recommended a replacement of the rack and pinion. A service advisor at Buckeye Honda named Jacob Lang informed me after the tech verified the issue with my vehicle that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced at a cost including parts and labor of $2798.57 because my vehicle is out of warranty since it has over 36,000 miles on it. I was highly upset over this and informed the service advisor that the car is a 2022 model and I purchased it brand new in 2022 and should not be having this kind of issue with the steering. I informed Mr. Lang that Honda should be responsible to fix the issue at no cost since there are open recalls and numerous reports which Mr. Lang verified of 2022 Honda Civic car owners having the same issue that mine is having and he advised that my car did not show a recall per the vin. Mr. Lang advised me to call Honda America and speak with them to see if they could do something about getting this fixed or meeting me half way on the cost, Honda America advised no since no recall information pertains to my vin.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while attempting to maneuver the steering wheel, the contact stated that the steering wheel seemed stuck, and was hesitant to move in either direction. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed the steering failure was causing premature wear on the tires. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the EPS steering rack needed to be replaced. The contact was also informed that the steering gear needed to be replaced. The vehicle was included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V704000 (Steering). Still, it had only been scheduled for the remedy because the contact wanted to seek assistance with the additional repairs for the steering. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000.
Steering feels "notchy", especially at highway speeds. Steering wheel feels very on-center and requires extra effort to move it from the center position.
Sticky steering
Not the sticky steering for sure and also fill I have the faulty steering rack even tho it’s not included in recall I can feel something running on the driver side floor while turning
my steering wheel gets sticky at high speeds on turns and gets stuck, took it to dealer and they say it’s nothing to worry about but i almost hit a curve while turning on the freeway. and when i also reverse there’s a clicking sound everything and they don’t heard it. pleas fix this problem. i don’t feel safe in the vehicle anymore and it just sits in my garage now
Steering wheel sticks while driving took it to Honda and they claim they test drove it for 12 miles and found nothing wrong with it. I took home the car and it’s still Doing what I took it in for. The steering either over steers or under steers (not sure if I’m explaining it correctly) kind of like when lane assist is on.. the fight it gives you without indicating of a lane change well it does that at all times even when it is not on
My steering wheel is very sticky. It gets stuck when i’m driving and trying to turn. It is a safety concern because sometimes it is requires an effort for me to use my steering wheel when driving. my steering wheel has been assessed by Honda and they mentioned that it Hass to be replaced. However, since my car is out of warranty, I would have to pay for it or a portion of it. This should not be happening and it is a safety concern. Honda should offer a recall regarding this issue because a lot of vehicles are having this experience with their steering wheel.
The steering is sticky and have a hard time keeping in the middle of the lane without constant minor jerking. Very noticeable at high highway speeds above 40+ mph. This safety concern might cause over correcting in an emergency steering at highway speeds thus possibly losing control. I took it to the dealership and they said there was nothing wrong with the car. I let them know they were wrong. Technician test drove the car but never took it onto the highway.
The steering wheel has been sticking when turning left and right, resulting in a not smooth turn. The steering wheel also sticks when making minor adjustments to direction while driving straight. Most noticeable at highway speeds of 65+mph This has happened every time I've driven the car for the past few months. I took it to Honda this week, 2/19/24 and they stated they could not replicate it, but one tech/service advisor did note that they did feel some stiffness Honda states they recalibrated the steering wheel
Having problems with the steering wheel, while driving my car, the steering wheel gets stiff and it is hard to maneuver causing the vehicle to pull. I feel very unsafe driving my vehicle on the road. I received a recall noticed, therefore I took my car to dealership but was informed that my car was not under recall, but was informed that I needed to replace the steering gearbox. I don't understand why my vehicle doesn't show as having a recall if I am having the same issue mentioned on the current steering rack recall. I have been waiting for my car to get fixed for over a month; the dealership is waiting for parts. Meanwhile I have to drive my vehicle with this problem because the dealership will not provide a rental due to vehicle's recall status.
When driving on freeway or high speeds the steering wheel tends to get “sticky” or harder to turn and when I turn the wheel slightly I hear a clicking noise .This only happens when I drive the vehicle at highway speeds
The steering wheel feels like it is sticking which causes minor corrections to be over corrections. It’s like the steering wheel gets stuck and you have to force it to turn in order to make a correction.
