2017 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

I previously filed a complaint on this car about the sticky steering. I understand Honda has recalled many cars for this same problem on model years 2020-2023. Why would they not recall my 2017 civic with this very same steering issue. It IS a safety issue, especially at highway speeds.

The NH-788P White Orchid Pearl Paint that was given an extended warranty due to a "paint peeling problem" on the Fit and HR-V models is now affecting Civics. I currently own a 2017 Civic Hatchback with the same paint, from the same country of manufacturing origin, within the same time frame, and was never given an extension warranty and currently am being denied help. The worst paint peeling, under the trunk, is actually protected from weather ... this is easily a defect that originated from Honda. Honda is denying any responsibility at the moment, refuses to help me via phone calls or email defaulting to the response of "Your car isn't under warranty." even though they have acknowledged issues and provided coverage for different models AND Canada covers my situation unlike the USA: [XXX] Had I know about this defect with my car with an official statement from Honda, it would have impacted my choices back in 2020 and 2021. I would of sold it around 2021 or contacted Honda earlier to settle these issues that would of happened under the extended warranty if I was given one. Honda's constant inaction once again damages consumers everywhere where the repair for paint is roughly 60% of the value of the car itself ...

Steering rack issue being sticky. Dealership has confirmed this problem BUT they are unwilling to fix this because my VIN is not apart of the recall. But I have the problem…. And it was confirm. They are unwilling to fix at covered cost.

Steering problem or steering sticks at high speeds causing over correction. I have had the problem since I had the car but I was finally able to look at it at the Honda dealership and they are quoting that my car needs repair. The NHTSA is reporting a recall for steering problems. I believe my car is having these issues as the steering works but keeps sticking every once in awhile. Cost to replace down below.

I heard there is a recall on newer Honda Civics and I have noticed with my car a "sticky" feeling with the steering wheel. I thought it was just me and when I read the recall this morning I thought oh my gosh that's what my car does! My car would be available for inspection. My car has not been inspected for this issue. I have not had any warning lamps due to this issue.

The has been a recall regarding AC, which I have fixed. Months later and it’s not working again. I’ve also had steering issues. Don’t know what it is exactly, but I’ve drove this car for daily commute the past 2 and half years and all of a sudden feel the need to grip my steering wheel because I don’t have full control of it like I used to

My vehicle electronic power steering system failed at 35,000. When driving, it becomes extremely difficult to turn the vehicle. I was told this issue is common among 2017 Honda vehicles, though there are recalls for only 2017-2018 Honda Civic and CR-V vehicles, this model Honda Civic.

The current recall affecting 2022 to 2025 vehicles also affects my 2017 Honda Civic. This is also a common issue across Honda forums. My steering sticks, mostly when driving in a straight line or when at highway speeds on a slight left curve. This is especially unnerving when driving in rain and having to force the steering wheel to make slight steering adjustments. I paid to have my dealership perform a wheel alignment hoping this would correct the issue, but it did not help. I did not complain to the local dealership yet about this since the wheel alignment.

Ac evaporator has failed not allowing windshield to defrost and defog properly. It is know issue at this time ac compressor and condenser are covered under extended warranty but not the ac evaporator.

Steering feels sticky/stiff while driving on the highway in a straight line. The steering feels stuck to one side while making adjustments to either direction. This causes the car to "over steer" (not to be confused with actual oversteering the car) in the one direction. This is quite dangerous and you have to be on edge to drive on the highway.
