2023 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

- Faulty steering rack. - Car feels uncontrollable at speeds anywhere above 20mph. The steering wheel sticks when turning and has to be forced to make adjustments or to bring the wheel back to center. Therefore un allowing me to make proper steering adjustments making the car feel jerky. -The problem has not been able to be reproduced by dealer. - It has been inspected by a dealer ship 2 times. - No warning lights.

When driving down the road at speeds above 40mph, the steering wheel “sticks” when attempting to make adjustments and when force is applied it jerks the steering wheel (and car) when it unsticks. Has happened multiple times but dealership was unable to replicate this. This has been happening intermittently since the odometer read approximately 2,500 miles. Car currently has 6,200 miles on it.

The power steering sometimes randomly fails and locks the wheel in position. It is similar to when the vehicle is stopped at a complete stop with the auto start/stop on and the car shuts off. It takes a significant amount of force to get the wheel to move. This is incredible dangerous on the freeway to have to attempt to fight the wheel to ensure you don’t hit the vehicle next to you.

After driving for about 20-30min, the steering were sticky and hard to adjust giving resistant, I see there is a recall on other Honda Civic Trim but not on the SI, I believe the SI Trim had the same issue.

My 2023 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hatchback which I bought new in May 2023 which now has 10700 miles driven and was serviced by my Honda dealership in Fall 2023 now exhibits a "sticky" or "notchy" steering wheel sensation off of dead center steering at straight line highway speeds. It is gradually becoming more noticeable so I am going to report it to my dealership. There are no warning messages. I've turned off the lane crossing safety warning device because this symptom resembles that sensation. I've ensured my tires are at the recommended PSI. I'm not comfortable driving it for long distances on the interstate because this sensation increases with time and mileage driven.

After driving for 20-30 min, when I noticed the steering wheel is hard to adjust I am assume it is about all other complaint refer to "sticky steering" issue I see there are recall on the other Civic trim but not the SI trim, I believe the SI also have the same issue.

When going around 50mph+, the steering wheel tends to feel "stuck" in the middle, which causes you to overcorrect it to the side, causing the driving to feel super unstable. When I take it to the dealership, they keep saying there are no warnings on diagnostics, so I get the car back with the same issue still happening at random times. Please help! There are tons of online posts about this same issue with the same model of Civic and it doesn't seem like dealerships know what to do about it. It's a very uncomfortable way to drive a car and feels very unsafe.

Intermittently, and only within the past 2000 miles or so, the steering will begin to have a notchy feel during highway driving. The steering requires excessive force to move the wheel and then the wheel jerks and causes the steering to do the same. It is very dangerous and unsettling at highway speeds. The issue seems to only occur above 45mph, but again, it is not happening every time I drive above 45mph.

When I was driving my new 2023 Honda Civic Touring’s the engine started running rough and the check light indicators came on with the following items to “See your dealer” despite this car being less than 3 months old and with just over 1,000 miles on the odometer: - Brake System Problem… - Electric Power Steering System Problem… - Electric Parking Brake System Problem… - Tire Pressure Monitor System Problem… - Emission System Problem… Some of these above items negatively affect the safe operation of the vehicle and increase risk to the occupant(s). After coordinating with the Honda dealership where we purchased this Civic and the Honda Roadside Assistance, they towed our disabled Civic to the closest Honda dealership. A Honda Service Advisor informed us our Civic had a major engine issue (cracked engine block) which was a manufacturer's defect. After 36 days they completed the major warranty repairs totaling over $6,000 (primarily replaced the engine short block which eliminated the above listed issues). It should be noted, the two local Honda dealerships and Honda Roadside Assistance (1-800-864-5211) were very professional and helpful. However, to our surprise the American Honda Motor Co, Inc; Honda Automotive Customer Service, [XXX] ) has been unresponsive.

I have a steering wheel that sticks at highway speeds around 50-70 mph while driving straight, my steering wheel sticks. The honda dealership says it's fine. I believe they greased something during my recall inspection that made my steering not as noticeable. He said everyone has sticky steering but that honda has no fix. My tires are balding at an extreme rate and very uneven wear. I have been arguing with the dealership and have given up. I also have a valve cover that is leaking oil. My car has 35k miles
