My daughters car started having steering issues. We took the car to the Honda dealer we bought the car from for repair. Instead of addressing the recall they stated the steering issue wasn't a recall issue but when the car's vin number is pulling up a recall for steering. We took the vehicle to another Honda dealer for a second opinion and again they said the steering issue wasn't part of the recall. Neither dealer mentioned anything about repair the recall, they said the steering issue wasn't part of the recall. The second dealership stated "even if we wanted to fix the steering issue found we could because the parts aren't available for 4 to 6 months" then tried to sell us a new car. I have all this information in writing from both dealership. Both dealerships charged us a service fee for the diagnosis when we were just asking for the recall to be repaired. I filed a complaint with Honda an their investigation consisted of calling the dealership to ask what the diagnosis was, no actual investigation was ever conducted. Honda said they couldn't help us. The recall has never been addressed. They wanted us to pay $3000 or $4000 for the repairs, my daughter was the first owner of this vehicle. We find it to be suspicious that a brand new vehicle has steering issues after 2 years of ownership and coincidently Honda put out a recall for steering issues but it's not part of the recall. The diagnosis paperwork from the dealership we received specifically stated the exact same thing the recall stated on the Honda website. We need help.

I got this car (2022 honda civic touring) as preowned a little over 2 months ago. It had 39k miles. I inspected the car and thought it looked perfect and so I got it. In getting it, i opted out on getting extended warranty for personal reason. However the car had 60 days dealer warranty. After several times driving it, i noticed that my arms get sore. I thought it was just the way it drives. I drove one of my friends car which is the same car same year and it just drives way smoother. Mine is really sticky. I have to really put effort into keeping the wheel straight. When i make slight turns, the wheel doesnt go back to going straight, it gets stuck, so i have to pull it again to go straight. I heard about the recall on this car about the steering. I brought it in to honda but they said that my car isnt affected by it and that my part was okay. Due to my schedule i was only able to bring it in until almost the dealer warranty expires. However, they said that the car was fine, that they didnt notice the issue ive been experiencing. They told me that it drove good and advised me to get an allignment done. By the time the allignment place was able to get me in, the warranty had already expired and so i was really hoping that the allignment would fix it. Unfortunately, it didnt not. My steering is still so stiff/sticky. I dont know what to do.

When driving the steering wheel is “sticking.” Seems to get stuck in certain positions.

2022 Honda Civic has developed a condition where the steering wheel has begun to catch when making slight adjustments from the neutral position of the steering wheel. It is becoming more prominent over the last week and I am concerned that it will take increasing force to overcome and causing an overreaction on the road when it overcomes the area where it catches.

Steering is uneven and unpredictable, sticky. I suspect this is from the gearbox issue identified by others. Steering wheel feels firm when turning slightly then quickly releases, causing the car to over steer. This is most noticeable when at highway speed, typically 70 mph on my work commute. This has been getting worse. First noticed at about 20,000 miles, around a year ago. Car now has 35,800 miles.

Car has been exhibiting sticky steering problem. Small adjustments require above average force to keep centered and the car ends up over compensating.

The steering is sticking when correcting in the lane. The car is at a dealership now getting checked out. It puts others and your self in danger due to over correcting causing you to swerve. It’s very scary. This is the second time this issue has happened. The first time it happened in December of 2023. It was repaired and retuned to me in January 2024. Everything was great until September 2024 that is when it started sticking again. It happens at hiway speeds in the beginning but after driving for about 30 mins it happens at 35 as well.

About a year after I bought the car, I noticed that the steering wheel would slightly pull to the left. I, by the way, do not have the Lane Keeping Assistant on. Anyway, I went to a car repair shop, not the dealership, and they told me it was misaligned, so I got it aligned. However, the steering wheel kept doing the same thing. It pulls to the left ever so slightly and, at points, it gets stuck, so I have to constantly apply force in the opposite direction. It feels dangerous when driving on curved roads, specially at high speeds, because as I'm turning the wheel to one side, it sticks, so I have to constantly yank it in the opposite direction, and of course the car swerves a little bit. My car is available upon request. The manufacturer just told me that it was misaligned just like the people at the car shop I went to; however, I'm seeing more and more people suffering from the same problem, which is too much of a coincidence. There are no warning lamps, messages, or anything on display. And while the problem has not been confirmed or reproduced by the dealer, it's very noticeable when you drive the vehicle because it just seems like the wheels are not properly aligned. I have driven a misaligned car before, and the steering wheel never stuck like it does with this one.

When driving on the highway and in the city the steering wheel intermittently becomes stuck, predominately veering towards the left and has to be jerked back to straighten the vehicle on the road. It had happened multiple times and will cause an accident because of the way the car veers back on the road. I have taken it to Honda dealership about 2 times regarding this issue and they do not drive it as specify to recreate the issue. The vehicle is available upon request, has been properly maintained and this issue persist, even before the date bélow of 9-4-24.
