2023 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

On 12/03/2023, We were involved in serious accident. During this accident, only driver door air bag was deployed. No other air bags were deployed.My wife was on passenger side. She was seriously injured and hospitalized for several days. She is still under medical care. I think air bags on passenger side was defective. Due to defective air bags system, my wife had serious injury and had to go for medical treatment, pain and suffering. We like to investigate defect in air bags. My wife was wearing lap and shoulder seat belt.However, seat belt was not activated and remain loose. Due to loose seat belt, she was injured. Please help. Thank you.

I have noticed this issue sporadically when traveling at speeds usually below 50 mph. I've mostly only noticed this when traveling straight. Sometimes it will occur in small turns though. When the steering wheel is in the same position for some time (usually when traveling straight) and small corrections are needed to stay centered in the lane, I notice the steering wheel itself have a "sticking" type feeling. It requires more than a normal amount of force to get it out of this "sticking" feeling and resume normal control of my steering wheel. This is concerning because it affects driving safely. For being such a new car it is unacceptable.

STICKY FEELING IN STEERING WHEEL WHILE TURNING AT MODERATE SPEEDS, EXTRA EFFORT REQUIRED TO PULL STEERING WHEEL BACK TO CENTER. NO ERRORS OR WARNING LIGHTS. NOTICEABLY WORSE FEELING IN STEERING DURING LONG TRIPS, COLD TEMPS. SOME NOISE CAN BE HEARD WHEN TURNING WHEEL LOCK TO LOCK WHILE STATIONARY.

While driving the vehicle on an interstate for 40 miles, the steering became "sticky" and the vehicle was difficult to change lanes/turn when needed. Vehicle has 2700 miles and it only happens when at highway speeds. No lights are on the dash. Vehicle has not been to a dealership yet.

While driving on a highway/straightaway, after the vehicle is warmed up for 25-30 minutes, the steering wheel feels stuck while it’s straight up and down, and then skips/jumps/slips as slight adjustments are made to remain centered in the lane. I expect it to be smooth while making these small adjustments to stay centered in the lane. Sometimes you must force the adjustment to remain centered and the skip/jump/slip is more drastic. One time, I had to use more force than normal and almost over-corrected and crossed lanes. This has been happening with this vehicle for about 7 months now. Every time it's driven, this happens. Honda service says it's that lane departure feature and it's normal. I have even experienced this a couple of times while the vehicle is stopped—if you slightly adjust the steering wheel, the steering wheel feels like it is stuck and if you force the steering wheel it releases and skips/jumps/slips. This does not happen all the time.

I had been driving for a few hours and my car suddenly became difficult to steer. This is the first time this has happened and was very scary. The steering wheel would lock up and stick while driving on the highway. The only way to unstick the wheel was to overcorrect the steering wheel by pulling it to one side, which made me slightly swerve the vehicle. The car does not feel safe to drive anymore.

The steering “sticks” and while driving it is necessary to oversteer to keep the car in the lane. This is a problem at all speeds but is especially scary at highway speeds. The car has just started doing this and has not been to the dealer yet. We have the same model car that is one year older than the one I am reporting here. It has the same issue and the dealer agreed to replace faulty steering components but it has not yet been fixed. I have already reported the other vehicle.

Steering wheel is sticking. Took it for service at Piazza Honda in Limerick Pennsylvania and I was told that they were aware of this issue on the 11th generation Honda civics. They do not know of a fix and currently have 2 other Hondas there with the same issue. This is a major safety hazard. I do not feel safe driving this car or putting my kids in the car.

Rodents have chewed through the wiring on my vehicle twice within 7 days. Dealer fix of "rodent-deterrent" tape did not work. All systems are compromised by this occurrence -- emissions, braking, acceleration, lane-keep asist, etc. Using soy-based wiring on vital components is not safe for the consumer.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, several error messages became displayed on the instrument panel, including the brake mitigation system, low speed braking, and cruise control. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer on several occasions however, the dealer failed to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
