What 1,061 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Honda Civic Type R

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING GETS "STUCK" AND REQUIRES EXTRA EFFORT TO TURN CAUSING ABRUPT MOVEMENTS. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS. THIS ISSUE STARTS AFTER THE CAR IS WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. *TR

STARTED TO NOTICE SLIGHT STIFFNESS WITH NO VEERING IN STEERING ON SHORT COMMUTES TO WORK GOING HWY SPEED. ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE LONGER TRIPS AND HIGHER SPEEDS, I KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH STEERING SIGNIFICANTLY! THE STEERING IS NO LONGER HAVE THE GLIDING CONTROL LIKE NORMAL. NOW IT SEEMS MORE STIFF LIKE STICKING WHILE CONTROLLING THE STEERING WHEEL. WENT FROM A GLIDE STEER TO FORCEFULLY HAVING TO JERK STEERING BACK TO CONTROL IT (SIMILAR TO A STICKY BUTTON) BUT IT'S THE DARN STEERING WHEEL. SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO START HAPPENING OUT OF THE BLUE WITH NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ALL MAINTENANCE KEPT UP TO DATE IS A BIG ISSUE! THIS REALLY SUCKS AND I HAVE SEEN HOW MUCH THIS TYPE OF ISSUE COST. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN 'ELECTRICAL ISSUE' ON A BROAD SCALE (FEWER MILES AND HIGHER MILES HONDA) THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. NOT A CONSUMER OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE!

I HAVE A 2016 CIVIC LX 2 DOOR. RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING FEELS VERY STRANGE. IT FEELS ALMOST NOTCHY OR STICKY LIKE THERE IS SOME SORT OF BIND OR SOMETHING. I'LL BE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND GO TO ADJUST FOR A CURVE IN THE ROAD AND FEEL RESISTANCE AT THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAVE TO USE SLIGHT FORCE TO OVERCOME IT RESULTING IN THE CAR TO OVERCORRECT AND JERK SIDEWAYS. I'VE LOOKED INTO IT SOME AND IT SEEMS OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ( HTTPS://WWW.CIVICX.COM/FORUM/THREADS/STEERING-IS-STIFF-AND-NOTCHY-FEELING.14767/ ) ( HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/CIVIC/2016/STEERING/STEERING.SHTML ). FEELS DANGEROUS TO ME, ESPECIALLY IF IT GETS ANY WORSE. *TR

AFTER 30-60 MINUTES ON A DRIVE IN 70+ DEGREE WEATHER THE STEERING STARTS "STICKING". IT IS NOT SMOOTH AND RESULTS IN OVERCORRECTING. ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER ATTENTION LAST SUMMER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND COULD NOT BE FOUND BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN LONG ENOUGH. LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS HERE COMMON ISSUE. NOW NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WARMER TEMPS BROUGHT BACK THE ISSUE. NEEDS EPS RECALLED AND REPLACED.*DT *TR

STEERING BINDS FORCING DRIVER TO EXERT EXTRA FORCE CAUSING OVERSTEER. A CLUNKING NOISE CAN BE HEARD COMING FROM THE STEERING RACK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY DETECTED DURING A DRIVE BETWEEN HOUSTON AND AUSTIN MAY 2019 AND WAS NOTICEABLE ONLY WHEN DRIVING LONGER DISTANCES AND HIGHER SPEEDS, IN PARTICULAR ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A HONDA DEALER IN JUNE 2019 WHO IDENTIFIED THAT THE STEERING RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (40 MONTHS, 46K MILES), I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHICH THEY DISCOUNTED FROM $3,800 TO $900. I OPTED NOT TO MAKE THE REPAIR BECAUSE I BELIEVE HONDA WOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL AND SINCE THEN THE STEERING HAS GOTTEN WORSE, OCCURRING ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AT ANY SPEED WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE 80F. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AS IT HAS CHANGED THE PART NUMBER FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK ONE OR TWO TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE ORIGINALLY CAME OUT, BUT HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. LATEST PART NUMBER IS 53650-TBC-A22. HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT I WILL BE REPAIRING AS IT IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME NOW AND I BELIEVE IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR AROUND 30 MINUTES THE STEERING STARTS "STICKING". IT IS NOT SMOOTH AND RESULTS IN OVERCORRECTING BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SORT OF UNSTICK IT TO KEEP THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE ROAD. NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE IN ANY CAR BUT CAN SEE FROM REPORTS ON THE INTERNET THAT IT'S A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH HONDA CIVIC. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN JAN 2020 AND HAVE ONLY DRIVE A LITTLE OVER 2000 MILES SINCE THAT TIME. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 32,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

STEERING STIFFENS UP VEERS, FEELS LOCKED, AND REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO CORRECT CAUSING A SWAY INTO AN ADJACENT LANE. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER VEHICLE IS DRIVEN 20-30 MINS AND SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWN THIS IS A COMMON EPS FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE EPS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RACK IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN, AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE, AND SHOULD NOT FAIL SO EARLY IN ITS LIFE. REQUEST NHTSA REQUIRE HONDA TO RECALL OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY. *TR

I BROUGHT MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC TO DARLING' S HONDA IN BANGOR, MAINE FOR STEERING PROBLEMS. THE STEERING STICKS IN ONE POSITION AND REQUIRES A LITTLE FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION. THE STICKING CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK, AND STICKS AGAIN IN THE OTHER POSITION. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS DO THIS, THE VEHICLE MUST BE DRIVEN FOR A WHILE SOMETIMES. I ADVISED THE SERVICE ADVISOR (SA), BRADLEY GONYA, THAT NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE (SEVERAL HONDA FORUMS) HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND THEY ALL STATED THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE SA, SAID THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER TO FIND A CODE, TO WHICH THERE WAS NO FAULTY CODE. THE SA, SAID THEY ROAD TESTED THE VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN. *NOTE: MILEAGE IN 38290, MILEAGE OUT 38291 AS STATED ON RECEIPT ( MILE OUT TEST DRIVE AND MILE BACK. SA STATED THAT THE BALL JOINTS AND STRUTS CHECKED OK. REMOVED OUTER TIE ROD ENDS FROM KNUCKLES AND RECHECKED STEERING, NO PROBLEMS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS THERE FOR ONE WEEK, THE SA STATED THAT THEY WOULD CHECK IT DAILY TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I ADVISED THE SA THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DRIVEN TO DUPLICATE, AND THAT I DID NOT WANT TO PAY THE OUTRAGEOUS $120 PER HOUR RATE FOR THEM TO JUST LOOK AND RIDE, AND I RESTATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM. THE SA STATED THAT UNLESS THE COMPUTER STATES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE PART.

THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2016 CIVIC SEDAN EX-T BECOMES JERKY OR STICKY AFTER DRIVING ROUGHLY 30 MINUTES ON A HOT DAY. IT MAKES HIGHWAY DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS FROM ON CENTER, THE STEERING WHEEL IS HITTING RESISTANCE SIDE TO SIDE. YOU ARE FORCED TO OVERPOWER IT LOCKING UP CAUSING UNINTENTIONAL SWERVING. WHY DOESN'T THE SAFETY RECALL FOR 2017-2018 STEERING GEARBOX REPLACEMENT ALSO APPLY TO 2016 MODEL YEARS? I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE AT LEAST 60K MILES, NOW AT OVER 100K. I HAVE HAD TO SWITCH TO WORKING OVERNIGHTS DURING THE SUMMER TO AVOID THIS VERY ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND THAT TAKING THE UNDER TRAY OFF EXTENDED MY DRIVING TIME SLIGHTLY BEFORE THE ISSUE REAPPEARS. HOWEVER, THIS CREATES A PARACHUTE UNDER MY CAR NOW THE UNDER TRAY IS REMOVED. NOW SUMMER IS BACK, I AM HERE NOW TO PLEAD WITH SOMEONE TO PLEASE FORCE HONDA TO REMEDY THIS OBVIOUS FLAW. THERE ARE MANY ACCOUNTS EXACTLY LIKE THIS. ITS A PROBLEM ON EVERY CAR, ALTHOUGH NOT EVERYONE DRIVES THEIR CAR ENOUGH TO EXPERIENCE IT. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE HONDA SERVICE AFTER WARRANTY WITH NO ANSWER THEN. I WILL BE FORCED TO SELL MY CAR OR TRY AND REMOVE THE STEERING RACK MYSELF AND SPEND MONEY I SHOULDN'T NEED TO. HONDA CREATED A FAULTY EPS ON ALL 10TH GENERATION CIVICS 2016-2018.

AFTER I DRIVE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT HAS A CATCH IN IT. IT MAINLY HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN MAKING MINOR MOVEMENTS TRYING TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE IT FEELS LIKE IT CATCHES AND I HAVE TO PUSH THROUGH IT, THE CAR STARTS WEAVING A TAKES A FEW SECOND TO GAIN CONTROL OF IT. THIS PROBLEM BECAME VERY OBVIOUS WHEN I WAS DRIVING FROM ALABAMA TO ILLINOIS. IT HAPPENED THE ENTIRE WAY THERE AND BACK. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL A FEW TIMES. INCREDIBLY SCARY, ESPECIALLY WHEN OTHER CARS ARE NEAR.

STEERING BECOMES JERKY AND TENDS TO STICK AFTER DRIVING AROUND FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. RATHER THAN A SMOOTH TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL IT REQUIRES A BIT EXTRA FORCE TO FREE UP THE STEER WHEEL TO MAKE EVEN MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO MAKE A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO STAY IN MY LANE REQUIRES A BIT OF EXTRA FORCE TO FREE UP THE "STUCK" STEERING WHEEL BEFORE I MAKE THE MINOR ADJUSTMENT, BUT TO MAKE THE MINOR ADJUSTMENT THE EXTRA FORCE REQUIRED TO FREE UP THE STUCK STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES CAUSES A MAJOR ADJUSTMENT LIKE DRIFTING INTO ANOTHER LANE. I'VE DETERMINED THAT THIS NORMALLY OCCURS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 20-30 MINUTES AND AT HIGHER AMBIENT TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE. HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS JUST DRIVING AROUND TOWN. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN JANUARY OF 2020, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS NOW.

I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE TO HER DOCTORS APPOINTMENT IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA. AFTER 20 MINUTES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 55-65 MPH I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL SEAMED TO BE STICKING IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION.IF I HAD TO CORRECT LEFT OR RIGHT I WOULD HAVE TO USE FORCE AND IT WOULD SNAP AND JUMP ABOUT AN INCH CAUSING ME TO WEAVE INTO THE NEXT LANE. I PULL OFF AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION TO CHECK MY TIRES AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I NOTICED THAT AFTER I SLOWED DOWN TO LESS THAN 40 MPH THE STEERING WORKED FINE, I GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE GOT UP TO SPEED AND IT STARTED STICKING AGAIN.GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND TOOK BACK ROADS THE REST OF THE WAY THERE AND HOME. TOOK IT OUT THE NEXT DAY AND IT WOULD NOT DO IT BUT NOW AFRAID TO TAKE LONG TRIPS FOR FEAR OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NO RECALL.WHY DOE'S SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE TO GET THINGS FIXED.

MY VEHICLE, HONDA CIVIC 2016, WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT. IN THE MORNING WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, IT GAVE ME ERRORS IN ALL SYSTEMS: BRAKE SYSTEM ERROR, POWER STEERING ERROR, TIRE PRESSURE ERROR, ETC. I COULD SHIFT THE GEAR, BUT STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. I TOWED A CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS 3.5 YEARS OLD, 36000 MILES, THE WARRANTY ENDED ONLY 6 MONTH AGO. HONDA PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF $1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IN A FEW DAYS WHEN I WAS SUPPOSE TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, HONDA CALLED ME SAYING THAT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW THEY NEED TO REPLACE A POWER STEERING RACK AND POWER STEERING MOTOR AND IT WOULD COST $3000. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE, IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AFTER ONLY 36000 MILES.

STEERING AT 40 PLUS MPH GETS STIFF MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STAY IN LANE

NHTSA ODI 11290750

I HAVE A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. AFTER 20 MINUTES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENS UP A LOT AND THE CAR STARTS DRIFTING LEFT OR RIGHT. THEREFORE, I HAVE TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION IT IS DRIFTING IN. THIS OCCURS EVERY COUPLE MINUTES. I HAVE TO ESSENTIALLY DRIVE IN A ZIG ZAG FORMATION TO STAY IN THE SAME LANE. AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ONTO LOCAL ROADS, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS ON LOCAL ROADS BUT IS LESS FREQUENT THAN ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVING THIS MUCH DIFFICULTLY STEERING THE CAR IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND CAN LEAD TO CAR ACCIDENTS. AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED. SINCE THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THE CAR HAS ALREADY PASSED, THEY QUOTED ME OVER $3,000. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL BY HONDA ON THE 2017 AND 2018 CIVICS FOR THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM (EPS). BUT, THE EPS IN THE 2016 MODEL GETS OVERLOOKED. 2016 CIVIC DRIVERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SHELL OUT SO MUCH MONEY TO GET A CAR WITH A PROPERLY FUNCTION EPS.

ANYTHING OVER 30 MPH, I CAN'T KEEP THE CAR DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IT CONSTANTLY DRIFTS LEFT AND RIGHT. THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO "STICK" AND REQUIRES CONSTANT BACK AND FORTH ADJUSTMENT TO CONTROL THE CAR. NEWNAN GA HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING RACK WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACES FOR $3300. THERE ARE MANY 2016 CIVICS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'M FAR FROM BEING THE ONLY PERSON THIS HAS AFFECTED.

I PURCHASED A USED 2016 HONDA CIVIC TOURING AND DIDN'T NOTICE THIS PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I DIDN'T DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES SUDDENLY THE CAR BEGINS TO DRIFT EVER SO SLIGHTLY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. WHEN I GO TO CORRECT, THE STEERING WHEEL RESISTS. IT DOESN'T FREEZE BUT IT SORT OF "STICKS" UNTIL I APPLY A BIT MORE PRESSURE, AFTER WHICH IT SUDDENLY RELEASES, CORRECTS, AND ACTS COMPLETELY NORMAL. MOMENTS LATER HOWEVER, IT DRIFTS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, AND I AM FORCED TO REPEAT THE SAME PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. END RESULT IS I BEGIN DRIFTING SLIGHTLY BACK AND FORTH DOWN THE HIGHWAY REPEATEDLY, ALL THE WHILE FIGHTING WITH A STEERING WHEEL THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO LET GO. I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE FORUMS AND SOME HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S EPS RACK. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THIS. SOMEONE EVEN MADE A VIDEO ON THIS ISSUE HTTP://YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=W5X_CAVHXMM

STICKY STEERING WHEEL. SUBTLE MOVEMENTS CAUSE RESISTANCE AND FORCE ME TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL IN A SPECIFIC DIRECTION. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER YOU'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 30-40 MINUTES. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2016.

STEERING THE CAR IS DIFFICULT. WHEN THE CAR DRIFTS OR YOU TURN THE CAR IN EITHER DIRECTION THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS. THIS CAUSES YOU TO OVER CORRECT TO BREAK FREE THE STICKING SENSATION OR CAUSES YOU TO DRIFT EXCESSIVELY TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT. CONTROLLING THE CAR TAKES MORE FORCE THAN IT SHOULD REQUIRE AND I STILL CAN'T ENSURE I CAN DRIVE IT SAFELY. CAR IS A 2016 AND I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE SAME CAR HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIX BY CHANGING OUT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR ($1550) BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

NHTSA ODI 11266803

WHEN MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS KEEPING A STRAIGHT TRAJECTORY ABOVE 55 MPH THERE IS A "STICKY POINT" IN THE STEERING. WHEN LIGHTLY MOVING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT YOU ENCOUNTER A POINT OF RESISTANCE, STEERING THROUGH THE RESISTANCE FORCES AN OVER COMPENSATION MAKING A ZIGZAG STYLE OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. IMPORTANT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT SELF CENTER EVEN IF YOU TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE WHEEL, YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO STEER BACK THROUGH THE POINT OF RESISTANCE TO RE-CENTER THE WHEEL. THE HONDA PART NUMBER BEING REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS 53650-TBA-A01
