Clunking or noise when steering by model year
What owners say
Steering wheel creaks and clunks when moved up and down. My mechanic told me it seems like it is a rack and pinion trouble. Honda CRv 2024.
January 2024 Steering wheel suddenly became very hard to control while driving on interstate highway. Could not turn the wheel at all. Finally, I was able to steer onto the shoulder of the highway AFTER pressing the lane assist control button. February 29, 2024 Warning light on dashboard appeared- “Road Departure Mitigation System Problem. See Your Dealer” There is also a clicking/ creaking noise when turning the steering wheel. Seems to be worse when it is cold outside.
My CR-V Lane Keep Assist will pull my vehicle one way or the other jarringly violently, and will overcorrect itself the rest of the time. The result being that I have nearly totally stopped using the feature. Recently, though, I have noticed a sticking point just off of dead center when steering in either direction- at any speed. The worst part of this issue is that it causes turning to be unsmooth because the wheel doesn't turn smoothly. At any speed, I can notice the weighting of the steering wheel when I hit the (replicatible) sticking point- and then it is as if the vehicle "skips a few steering teeth" because it cause the wheel to turn a little more quickly as if to catch up to where I had intended to point the tires. This issue has persisted to the point that I googled to see if other owners were having this issue, and that's when I discovered that the federal safety agency had added the 2023 CR-V to an existing complaint involving Honda Civics with the same steering components. I wish to lodge my complaint in the hopes of making Honda and the federal safety agency aware that this issue is also affecting 2024 CR-Vs. I am extra frustrated because I feel like my front suspension/steering components are clunking where that was not an issue over the early life of the vehicle. For reference, I have put 13000 miles on the vehicle since purchasing 07/27/2023.
