About a year after I bought the car, I noticed that the steering wheel would slightly pull to the left. I, by the way, do not have the Lane Keeping Assistant on. Anyway, I went to a car repair shop, not the dealership, and they told me it was misaligned, so I got it aligned. However, the steering wheel kept doing the same thing. It pulls to the left ever so slightly and, at points, it gets stuck, so I have to constantly apply force in the opposite direction. It feels dangerous when driving on curved roads, specially at high speeds, because as I'm turning the wheel to one side, it sticks, so I have to constantly yank it in the opposite direction, and of course the car swerves a little bit. My car is available upon request. The manufacturer just told me that it was misaligned just like the people at the car shop I went to; however, I'm seeing more and more people suffering from the same problem, which is too much of a coincidence. There are no warning lamps, messages, or anything on display. And while the problem has not been confirmed or reproduced by the dealer, it's very noticeable when you drive the vehicle because it just seems like the wheels are not properly aligned. I have driven a misaligned car before, and the steering wheel never stuck like it does with this one.

While driving (especially for a while) the steering wheel pulls left and then right on its own. It feels almost like it is sticking or jerking. I am literally not comfortable driving it without having both hands on the wheel. Because it has a mind of its own. It will try to jerk my wheel left and right without my assistance.

When I am driving at highway speeds in a lane on a straight path the steering wanders from center. When I attempt to correct there is resistance in the steering wheel. I have to "push through" the resistance at which point the steering obstruction suddenly clears and if I am not ready for it the sudden lightness of the steering can sometimes cause me to overcorrect. As I return to center coming from the other direction I again encounter resistance in the wheel at center. This only seems to happens when the vehicle is driven straight, in turns at surface street speeds there is no detectable resistance and the wheel turns smoothly. The effect is quite pronounced at highway speed and does occur at lower speeds on surface streets when driving straight but is much less noticeable.

The steering rack is malfunctioning, causing a sticky feel through the steering wheel. - This is potentially dangerous because the car will not straighten up without considerable effort when leaving a curve. The car will also wander in it's lane because the stickiness in the steering wheel makes it impossible to make minor corrections. - I am in contact with the dealership to have it inspected, it is out of warranty so it will most likely not be covered without a service bulletin. - There are no warning lights whatsoever.

The beginning of November 2023 while driving on the interstate, I started to notice difficulty keeping the car in the lane from side to side in the lane with minimal adjustment to the steering wheel. When I return from my trip I brought it to Honda dealership to have it looked at. They said they couldn’t duplicate the issue that was it about 17,000 miles now I’m at 19,000 miles. The issue is getting worse today while driving on the interstate I barely touched the wheel to correct it to stay in the lane And it pulled to the left causing me to have to pull on the wheel to the right to keep it in the lane. I was not using any of the lane keeping assist safety features. This tends to be worse at higher speeds which is why the dealership says that they can’t duplicate the issue you have to get on the interstate with the car. It is noticeable, but not as bad driving around town.

I want to express my genuine concern regarding a recent incident involving my daughter's 2022 Honda Civic Sport. On July 4th, while driving her car after a brief rain, she encountered standing water that had pooled along the side of the road. Unexpectedly, the car pulled to the right, and despite her best efforts to steer away, she couldn't as the steering wheel was locked. The loss of control resulted in the car careening right, jumping the curb and ending up on the sidewalk. I am grateful that while frightened and dazed, my daughter and her passengers escaped any physical harm. We promptly brought the vehicle to our trusted dealership to report the power steering failure and assess the resulting damage. We were disheartened to learn that since there is no existing recall on the power steering system, the dealership contended that the accident must have compromised the power steering and, therefore, repair was not covered under warranty. I want to emphasize that the power steering failure occurred prior to the accident and directly contributed to the car's loss of control. The vehicle has a mere 9000 miles on it, and my daughter was driving within the safe speed range of 40-45 miles per hour. We made the conscious decision to purchase a new Honda for our daughter to ensure she would not have to worry about unexpected breakdowns or malfunctions. Woefully, as is evidenced through incident, that is not the case. With the gravity of this situation in mind, I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter. I believe it is crucial that a thorough investigation into the power steering failure be conducted, acknowledging that the malfunction predates the accident and that Honda is responsible for the subsequent damage and distress.

The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) never illuminated to let me know I had a flat tire, and still didn't illuminate even after the entire tread was ripped off the sidewall of the tire. The front left tire was the one that went flat, and had I not been astute to the vehicles behavior, I could have been in a severe accident, as it is a front tire. I noticed the car pulling left a little, but thought it was due to the construction being done to repave the highway. After about 10 minutes of driving, I felt and heard the thumping of a flat tire. I had to drive a few miles to safely exit the highway when I heard the loud bang of the tread separating from the rim and hitting the underside of the car and wheelwell. For the tread to have been completely sheared off, I must have been driving on a flat for a considerable amount of time. The entire time, the TPMS never illuminated to warn of a flat or of low tire pressure. When I got to the dealership, the service writer told me the TPMS doesn't warn of a blowout. I found that to be a strange comment, because I clearly didn't have a blowout. The car was pulling for a little while (over 10 minutes), and then it started the notorious thumping of a flat tire before the tread eventually ripped apart. I couldn't find anywhere in the 2022 Honda Civic Sedan owners manual that states anything to support the service writer. Only that it measures even tire pressure, which it obviously wouldn't have had, so the TPMS should have come on. Even if the TPMS didn't warn prior to a flat, I think it should have illuminated when the tread totally separated from the sidewall of the tire, and it did not. I sat with the car running for at least 20-25 minutes after getting off the highway, and it still never illuminated. From what the Ray Price Honda dealership service writer said, it didn't record any errors either.

Steering feels like it sticks when making micro adjustments on highway speed and when it finally budges, it over-exaggerates the adjustment and you end up wandering in your lane or going out of the lane, causing you to swerve out of the lane. Been taken to the dealer 2 times in less than a month and was told they’ve had multiple complaints from other owners about the same problem and have felt it themselves on other ‘22 Civics but since it does not generate an error code when they run a diagnostics, they cannot do anything about it nor can they replace anything.

When I am driving my steering wheel is sticky, wonders left and right and I keep having to correct the steering it feels like the steering where clicks back and forth with no sound it does not drive safe and it is hard to turn the steering wheel. Yesterday I was driving on the freeway and out of no where the brake light on the dash popped up 3 times and the car started to pull. When I turn on the lane assist a different time the brake like on the dash came on and it pulled to the right hard. This is very scary and unsafe! I just bought this car and the steering wheel issues needs fixing very scary and unsafe to drive there needs to be a recall.
