2023 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

I took my car in because the steering wheel feels like it gets stuck and starts shifting my car to the left. I have to turn the “sticky” wheel until it snaps back from shifting. I had scheduled a service because it felt very unsafe and then the day before I took it in, I noticed there was a recall. However, when I mentioned it to the tech he said that the recall didn’t affect my car and that everything was good. I took it to another service center where they found the issues- steering rack issue. BUT NOW the parts on back order and it’s progressively getting worse! It feels safe to drive and that’s the only mode of transportation I have!

Steering wheel 'sticks' or requires greater force applied to move the wheel while traveling highway speeds making small adjustments to steering causing overcorrections to steering to counteract the issue. This creates an unsafe and unpredictable driving situation. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership who is 'unable to reproduce' the issue on short tests. The issue only presents after the car has been driven at highway speeds. There are no warning lamps indicating any issues.

My 2023 Honda Civic Touring steering will stick and cause a momentary increase in steering effort to compensate for the sticky steering. This occurs at highway speeds which adds to my concerns. I understand the NHTSA has been investigating this occurrence and would like to make it known that my model and VIN # are experiencing this issue. My automobile currently has 3,000 miles on it.

The electric power steering is sticking when you turn the wheel slightly. My local dealership failed to fix the recall on my vehicle and labeled it as fixed, when they simply verified the recall matched serial numbers on my car and did not fix the issue.

When driving on the highway and speeds exceeding 40-45 mph, the steering wheel becomes, "sticky". The steering wheel sticks to one direction and will not move unless you forcefully turn the wheel. It takes more effort to make minor adjustments to the steering wheel than a traditional car with a fully working steering wheel. Its as if someone poured super glue all over the insides on the steering components and you have to fight it just to turn the steering wheel any amount.

At highway speeds and sometimes lower, steering becomes sticky/feels like it has notches and requires additional pressure to move wheel

When I’m driving at any speed going straight, my steering wheel feels sticky and clicky when barely attempting to straighten out.

This vehicle has sticky steering. The effort needed to turn the steering wheel intermittently increases, so you have to pull the wheel harder to get it to move, and then it turns too far. This issue is dangerous at highway speeds and extremely annoying at slow speeds. This issue is unrelated to the current active recall for the steering rack. This issue has been reported and discussed by many drivers in online forums and may be related to the worm gear in the steering gear box. I experience this sticky steering problem at all speeds, temperatures, and lengths of time driving. I purchased my vehicle new 13 months ago and it has 6,700 miles on it.

Sticky steering at highway speeds. Minor steering adjustments at highway speeds get "stuck" for a second.

It takes increased effort to make necessary steering adjustments on my steering wheel. It’s most noticeable from the 12:00 ‘o’ clock position and I’m making small adjustments. I notice the problem after roughly 30 minutes of drive time.
