The steering wheel in my 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring is "sticking" when going around wide turns on the highway. This issue is not experienced while driving around city streets. It feels like the steering wheel gently locks into place, but can easily be dislodged by giving it a little more turning pressure. The sticking sensation feels as though it has progressively been getting more pronounced in the past few months. This would certainly become a major safety issue if the steering wheel locks up completely at highway speeds. I have contacted the Honda Service Center at my local dealership regarding this issue. No warning lamps or messages appear on the dashboard and the latest Vehicle Health Report which I receive via email every month reports no issues.

In December 2023 I had a hit and run to my vehicle. I tried to get to the other lane for that car not to hit mine but my steering wheel froze. I’ve been taking a look at my car to see if it had any recalls and I’ve even did a vin check to my vehicle to verify what was going on with my car and nothing was apparently wrong with my car it also passed the state inspection a few weeks ago I just didn’t know what was wrong. I just saw the news right now of the sticky gear recall. Due to this I’ve been suffering a lot of hardships my back hurts a lot and I have to work less because of the pain.

i was driving from my late sister's house in Kent Washington to the AgriShop Auburn Ace Hardware on [XXX]. I was stopped in the left turn lane headed westbound on [XXX] , preparing to turn left onto [XXX] . The left turn light turned green, I started through the intersection. At that point, the steering locked and all the warning lights on the dash came on. I tried to steer the car, but the steering was locked. The warning lights on the dash included one that indicated a power steering failure, but it also kept switching to every other electronic system warning they had failed, making the warning useless. Thankfully, the oncoming traffic was still stopped at a red light. I turned the engine off, re-started the car. The warning lights remained, but the steering was no longer locked. I drove the remaining few blocks to the hardware store. I got what I needed at the store, re-started the car and the warning lights remained. I contacted the nearest Honda dealer, Hinshaw Honda, and took the car directly to them, a distance of 2 miles. Halfway to the dealer, all the warning lights went off and the car performed as if nothing had happened. The dealer did diagnostic testing, it took about 90 minutes, and the service advisor came out and told me that they could not diagnose the problem and planned to send me on my way doing nothing. I told them that was unacceptable, that, if I had been turning in front of oncoming traffic, this could have been a disaster. The service manager stepped in, asked me to leave the car, they would look further into the problem. That afternoon they called, indicated the power steering system had failed and ordered a part. On may 23rd the car was repaired, the service report is attached. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle has now began to have sticky steering with only 13,000 miles. You can feel the steering wheel fight against a you at really low speeds. It is worse on highway speeds and almost impossible to maintain your lane due to over correction on the steering wheel locking. The vehicle now does not feel safe to operate. I began to think it was wind on the highway or the lane assist working against me. These do not seem to be the issue. The issue comes from a faulty steering system.
