Clunking or noise when steering by model year
What owners say
I’ve taken my car to the dealer multiple times for an issue with steering and a loud clunk in my front end that wasn’t there when I bought it. I’ve constantly been told it’s normal or nothing is wrong but it’s becoming a real concern for me to drive I’ve almost been veered into oncoming traffic because the car wanders and steering doesn’t react very well. I’ve tried switching wheels and tires and still same issue. I need help because this car is unsafe to drive.
I got a message about recall in October, I brought my car to my Honda dealership then but they didn’t have the appropriate part and told me it’ll be there mid November. I brought my car again a couple of days ago but still they didn’t have the part, so I’ve been driving with thud recall for over a month. My steering wheel makes a noise when turning.
The steering gearbox worm wheel in my 2024 Honda Civic (VIN: [XXX] ) has malfunctioned, creating increased friction and resistance, which poses a serious safety risk by compromising my ability to steer safely. This issue, confirmed by Honda’s recall notice (the federal safety agency Recall Number 24V‑744), could lead to loss of control, increasing the risk of an accident. Despite contacting Honda and my dealership multiple times over the past month, no repair or inspection has been performed, and I’ve been unable to get a timeline for resolution. The steering also began making an unusual noise recently, heightening my concern. Given the unresolved safety defect and the car's diminished value, I believe this vehicle qualifies as a “lemon,” and I am seeking either a replacement or relief from the loan due to the financial and safety implications.
