My steering has a very bad clunk, i have been told my honda and other technician that rack and pinion is internally damaged. I waited for the recall and when i went in for my recall honda only added grease which stopped my steering to stick but the damage has been done, because for almost 2 years i drove the car with sticky steering wheel and i believe bec8of not enough grease in the rack it has damage the steering rack and im out of warranty like my other like me.

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.

[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.

Sticky steering wheel at above 50mph when the steering wheel is turn to left. Have to put extra effort and have to jerk it to return the steering wheel to center. There was an event of over correction of the wheel. Heard clunk sound when turn to left only. I brought the car to capitol honda at san jose ca. For recall and this is their diagnosis: "test drove vehicle and verified steering wheel will get hard to turn but was not able to duplicate noise when turning left. Upon further inspection found steering rack has internal problem. Recommend replacing steering rack and recheck for noise after replacement". Service advisor quoted me $2795.12. Aren't day suppose to replace for free per recall? Called honda cars and was approved for goodwill assistance. Capitol honda service manager re-quoted me for $1134.97. I called back honda cars to re-open the case. Im waiting for honda cars for the result of their further investigation.

My 2022 Honda Civic is having steering issues/problems. The vehicle will have steering issues after 10-15 minutes of driving. It’s very noticeably while driving on the freeway between 30-70 mph. It feels like the steering wheel will lock, i will need to over correct the steering wheel to “unlock” that “locked” steering feel. I have also noticed “clicking” sounds will come from underneath the vehicle will trying the steering wheel. I have taken my vehicle to a Honda Dealership, they inspected the vehicle, and said no recalls have been issued for my vehicle yet. I feel this is a huge safety problem, and hoping this report will help me resolve the issue.

2022 Honda Civic - Steering Issue This issue began around ~6,000 miles; the vehicle started providing a sticking and notchy feedback during mid-turns. This issue is most notable during speeds of 45mph. or faster. During a turn, the steering wheel stays locked in the position and requires additional steering correction to reset the angle. This is a driving hazard as the additional feedback required from the driver can cause overcorrection, causing the vehicle to exit its lane. Additionally, at low speeds, while the steering is in full lock (reverse and forward), the steering rack seems to make knocking/ticking sounds. The vehicle currently has ~13,000 miles and this issue has remained persistent since first observation. This issue was reported to a local Honda dealership on February 18, 2023 during a routine maintenance service.

There are issues with steering possible lane assist. I took it to Honda to be accessed, initially the rep tried to tell me there was nothing wrong/ didn’t understand the issues I was having. Then I was told it was a small hose that was constantly triggering lane assist feature and that they needed to take the dash apart and install this part they claim they special ordered. I left my car at the service center for several days. They reported they had replaced defective part And the issue had been resolved however, It’s been 2 weeks and the car is worse than before. The steering wheel is stiffer than before and makes a clicking sound when turning any direction. I’m afraid of an accident because the issue forces the driver to constantly. The service guy claimed it’s not dangerous just something annoying. I feel frustrated because this shouldn’t be happening with a car that I just 1 year old
