2023 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

The brakes slam on there own causing all safety features to go out and the car to go out of control. This is the 3rd time this has happened in 3 months. The dealership is telling me they won’t look at it for 3 months I could be killed in that time my car is dangerous

Sticky steering. Look at many online forums and there is ton of complaints about it. You can be driving straight down the highway and as soon as you want to make a little adjustment, it feels like you have to fight the steering wheel. By the time you overcome the force necessary to "break" the steering wheel from its stuck position, you're already headed into the other lane. It is even more dangerous when this occurs on curves and ten times more dangerous when this happens and the road is wet due to rainy conditions.

During drives recently, I have noticed that the steering wheel likes to "stick". What happens is that I will be driving in any conditions at any time and when the car starts drifting out of its lane and I go to correct myself, I notice that the steering wheel likes to have a tendency to be very hard to move for a quick moment then return to normal. This usually happens frequently during the drives where it is affected by this issue but some drives aren't affected by this issue at all. Even during a turn on a curvy road it was "sticking", and I decided to let go of the wheel to test it, and during the turn the wheel stuck in position during the turn for at least 10 seconds until it returned to normal. I feel that the steering wheel could get worse through wear and get stuck into position at any moment and not let me use it again without force which could endanger other drivers. No one at this time has inspected the vehicle but I have been thinking of bringing it to the dealer.

Power steering has begun to require more effort to make fine adjustments with at highway speeds. Often sticking in one place and requiring more force than normal to make the adjustment. This can create an over correction situation which can result in an accident/loss of control of the car.

While operating the vehicle on roadways the steering feels sticky and unresponsive.

After about 15 minutes of highway driving, wheel feels stuck when trying to make small lane adjustments. It requires much more effort to move the wheel for a small increment, then releases. This process continues until turning off the highway. This was dangerous, as it was difficult to steer the vehicle properly without overcorrecting while traveling 40-60mph. Dealer was able to reproduce the issue and has since replaced power steering rack. Issue occurred under 3000 miles.

While driving on the freeway at normal freeway speeds, after 5-10 miles the steering gets sticky. When attempting to make minor steering adjustments to stay within the lane, it takes an extra measure of force to move the steering wheel. It is necessary to concentrate constantly in order to not overcorrect.

UNKNOWN. Steering wheel problem on a left turn after a stop sign that veered offroad into a culvert crash.

At about 7,000-8,000 miles, I noticed after driving several miles at highway speed, the steering starts to feel sticky, The steering wheel no longer moves smoothly. This makes minor steering adjustments more difficult. The problem seems more pronounced in warmer weather (50F or above). The lane assist is NOT on. I talked to my dealer and they claimed they have no reports of this type of problem. I told the dealer it is all over the internet of hundreds of reports of this steering issue in Civics. The dealer wants to test drive the car overnight but the issue is not as obvious since colder weather has moved in.

The steering is the issue. After driving down the highway at highway speeds for about 30 miles, the steering becomes "sticky" or takes extra effort to pull the steering from its position. There were no warning lamps. The issue is getting fixed under warranty, but I had to do research and take the Honda Service Bulletin in on the issue for them to fix the problem. Before that the dealership stated they had never heard of the problem. There are obvious safety issues attributed with extra steering effort such as not being able to avoid collision.
