2023 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

Steering in a straight line has become virtually impossible. The Steering Wheel feels "stuck" in position when driving straight or even at a slight curve, with no self-centering or smooth motion. In order to correct, I have to push the steering out of its stuck position and as a result, it over-corrects, requiring another correction - i.e. zig zag motion. Every movement of the steering wheel near its center position requires extra effort and a "push" or "click" out of its stuck position. This has made navigating difficult and inaccurate, with 12-15 of this small "un freeze" movements per mile. The problem has gotten progressively worse, starting around 28,000 miles. I am now at 32,320 miles. Voss Honda in Tipp City performed a front end alignment and wheel balance to try to address the problem. This did not address the issue. I commute from Dayton to Cincinnati for work which is 140 highway round trip. This steering issue requires all of my focus just to maintain any sort of centering in my lane, without any smoothness or micro-adjustments. I am finding it particularly difficult in construction zones that are narrow. The problem is present every time I drive the vehicle, at highway speeds and even lower in the 35-45mph zone. It often sticks in position and will guide me off the road or into another lane unless I FORCE it out of its stuck position.

Transmission constantly jerking and feeling rough while shifting especially at lower speeds.

Steering feels sticky. Almost where it feels like it locks up when making minor adjustments.

The steering wheel jerks at highway speeds. It has been to the dealer for steering rack recall from Honda and they said the part number did not qualify for replacement. All systems checked out as working properly. The problem still exists. New tires have been placed on the vehicle and the steering problem still exists. The dealer has been of no help in resolving this issue. Attached is the service receipt and the day they checked the recall for the vehicle.

Dead center steering feels as if it sticks and extra force is needed when coming to a light bend on the road or just trying to stay center in a lane.

Most noticable at hiway speeds, steering sticks straight ahead and a few degrees right and left from straight ahead making it annoying to stay in lane without constant correction

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the power steering failed, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn in either direction. Additionally, while turning the steering wheel, the steering over corrected making it difficult to control the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering box was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 6,500.

"Steering wheel gets sticky above 40 mph. It hard to move the wheel on short notice. It also feels like a resistance on the steering." Staring at 40ish MPH, steering becomes sticky and slight corrections become difficult, at higher cruising speeds of 65+ this issue gets worse. Staying in lane can be difficult especially on lanes going from straight to curved. Sticky steering also fights lane assist which causes wheel to overcompensate automatically. Lane departure lost track of center and wouldn't let the driver steer easily. After fighting for control against the system

The steering wheel "sticks" when I am driving straight down a road, at both high and low speeds. It is more noticeable at high speeds.

Steering becomes sticky when driving over 50 mph. It is difficult to make minor adjustments when driving.
