Harsh or hard shifting by model year
What owners say
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.
My 2022 Honda Civic has been having issues with the EPS Rack and Parts. There has been a recall on this part on the Honda Civics and unfortunately my vehicle was not on the list of cars that was made in the manufacturing time. My car is extremely hard to turn the steering wheel while driving and it causes my cruise control steering system to not work correctly almost causing many accidents. I have also had to buy 2 new sets of tires as it has caused them to wear down faster. Ive had alignments and the car will still steer me to the right direction. The front tires rub very harshly when I need to make a turn. When turning it makes many noises. When I go start to go about 45mph the car will start shaking very harshly until 80mph. The car started to shake and make clunking noises about 6 months in to me having the vehicle and the Honda dealership said it was normal and the issues continued to get worse. As soon as I saw the recall come out I quickly scheduled an appointment for it to be looked at just for my specific car to not be on the list but have all issues that the recall is creating on these vehicles. This is very dangerous as I have small children and the issues continue to worsen.
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!!!
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.
Steerings requires minor corrections frequently, also it is not smooth. There is an clunkyness during slight movement and difficult to put steering in center.
I have aligned to my wheels 3 times and I'm still having issues keeping the steering straight it feels like I'm floating around. Also when reversing I hear I load clunking noise coming from the back.
The car has 13,000 miles . The steering sticks on the Highway and over corrects When having to unstick it . It feels very unsafe to drive . Took it to the dealer and they said could not find anything wrong . It started doing this recently was fine up to now . Don’t feel safe at all driving it and there is a clunking sound when making turns or backing out of a parking space.
Steering wheel starts to stick or bind after a 30 minute drive. When stopped there is clunk coming from the electronic power steering. Once on the high way, the steering wheel gets really sticky and when trying to do a small correction it jerks. After a while it becomes really unsafe to drive since all the correction you make are extreme and it struggles to keep the car centered on the lane without constant struggle.
