Electronic Power Steering Rack in bad/defective. Will not return to center naturally. Diagnosed by Honda Dealership. I can no longer drive in a straight line. I'm constantly bouncing from line to line on the road. My tires are even wearing incorrectly because of this. They are so loud now. Currently it's not a safety risk but the more I drive it the worse it gets. It will eventually become a safety risk! Yes, the problem has been reproduced by the dealer. I have been told part has been on order and is critical backordered with NO ETA. The also preformed an alignment check and a multi point inspection. No warning lights or messages. I found this problem just by driving my vehicle.
2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Steering is sticky or not as fluid when moving between lanes/ from lane to lane. It started around 3K miles. Alignment was checked by the dealership but the steering issues remains.
The steering sticks and unsticks randomly. I’ve brought it into the dealership 3 times and they can’t duplicate it. I’ve contacted Honda Customer Service and they told me to keep taking it to the dealership. I’ve had two other people drive my car and they agreed there is something seriously wrong with the steering.
The steering wheel is sticking while driving. The Lane Keeping Assistance (LKA) systems is off. The steering wheel is slightly off at highway and local road speeds and feels like its moving on its own. It feels like the steering wheel is twitching and does not feel safe to drive. I have turned off all the extra safety and driving features and the steering wheel is still twitching.
Vehicle steering sticks and cause a momentary increase in steering effort that could potentially cause overcorrection and an increased risk of a crash. The sticking typically happens when the steering wheel is slightly turned to the left; the steering column and wheel automatically skip back to the right. It feels as if it is 'jumping' or 'skipping' a cog in a wheel. Initially this happened only on the interstate on trips of longer duration (I purchased the car new in July 2023 and first noticed it on my first road trip in November 2023), but beginning in January 2024, it has started happening regularly while I am driving around town on surface streets. At this time, I do not feel as if it causes a significant safety risk, however given that the issue has significantly increased in frequency in a few short months (November- January), I do have concern that it could cause major safety concerns if not addressed. I have not taken the car to the dealership yet. I have seen that many other owners of 2024 CRVs have filed similar reports with the federal safety agency and there are numerous accounts on ownership groups online, so I wanted to file my own. I do believe this should be a recall issue. No warning lamps or lights have appeared thus far. I am open to having the issue inspected if necessary. I will be contacting my dealership today. Thank you for your consideration.
Best description: momentary increased steering effort. Similar to issues reported with the 2023 Civic and CR-V. Steering seems to drift/tug to one side or the other, then when correcting, it will over-correct. Dealership determined that the EPS rack is defective. Parts are on back order with unknown ETA.
This isn't about a specific incident. For about four weeks, I've been having an issue with the steering on my 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid. When I get up to speed on interstates, the steering becomes sticky or clunky. After the car goes straight for a half mile or so, it will resist minor adjustments in steering. It's most pronounced when I try to adjust the steering wheel to the right. The steering is not smooth like I experienced with each of my other cars. I've turned off the lane change warning system, to no avail. It seems that I have to drive the car for awhile before this problem surfaces. Right now, the problem is just annoying. But I'm concerned that if it get worse, it might become dangerous.
The vehicle only has 6000 miles on it and suddenly for apparently no reason, the steering seems "sticky" while traveling on a straight path. Larger steering movements, such as turning left or right seems fine. It only "sticks" while traveling straight.
Steering becomes sticky feeling, requires extra effort to move the wheel, then moves in a jerky manner, not smooth. Becomes worse at highway speeds and after prolonged driving.
Steering becomes stiff and sticky intermittently. Problem first occurred with approximately 3,700 miles on the vehicle. Initially the problem was only apparent on the interstate highway at speeds of approximately 70 mph and after about 30 minutes or more of continuous highway driving. The resistance felt on the steering wheel can be overridden, but the result is difficulty maintaining a straight path down the highway due to over corrections. I now have 4,200 miles on the vehicle and the problem is showing up at lower speeds of approximately 40 to 50 mph. Lane assist and lane departure are both off. I checked tire pressure and it was good (35psi front 32psi rear) There were no warning lamps or messages. When driving around town at lower speeds the steering works fine. I took the vehicle to the local dealership service department and a steering rack is on backorder due to arrive April 2024.
Steering wheel sticking when driving. Gets temporarily stuck when making slight adjustments on the road.
while driving, the steering wheel seems to be sort of STICKEY and not smooth when correcting the wheel. So when you need to slightly correct the wheel on the road it seems to be "stickey ".
Steering wheel feels sticky/stiff. As if it is missing steering fluid on a 150k mile car!
