2018 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

Steering wheel is sticking when trying to make subtle adjustments staying inside the lane. This makes it harder to keep the vehicle inside the lane without jerking the car. There is already a recall out for more recent Honda models regarding this sticking steering issue, but the steering problem is also present in my 2018 model. The sticking steering wheel can cause an accident. There are no warning lights coming up at this time.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000(Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. An unknown local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that the parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Part distribution disconnect.

The steering has suffered from a sticky or notched feeling off an on for the last 3 years. It seems to happen whenever the car is warm/in hot weather. It feels like the steering gets stuck in place, so you can't smoothly make adjustments. It's worst when you're driving straight or in gradual sloping turns in warm weather. It feels like it sort of clicks out of the rut it's stuck in, generally only to get stuck feeling again immediately. I just gifted the car to my son, and I'm concerned that this will continue to be a problem, since it's never cleared up while I've owned the vehicle. I am the original owner. The mileage is currently 56,220. If I had to guess, the problem has been occurring probably for the last 20K miles? I have asked 2 different Honda Dealerships in the DFW area (Honda Grapevine and Vandergriff Honda) to see if they could figure it out, and both times, they said they couldn't replicate the problem. I saw the recall affecting newer models of these cars and it exactly matches the problem my Honda has been having.

Several occasions between September, and now the car had difficulty starting. I towed it to two different Hondas, Bowie, darcas and Honda in Silver Spring and nobody was able to help me even though they claim to have done diagnostics on the car.

When I’m driving at highway speeds the steering wheel feels stiff like the power steering isn’t working then it kicks in and over steers so you are going back and forth in your lane. If you don’t use both of your hands the car can get away from you and you will end up in the next lane.

1) Caused by faulty Body Control Module (BCM). 2) Can't enter car, key fob won't unlock car. Dashboard is illuminated when car is off, I can see it through my window. 3) Alarm horn went on when car is off. 4) Turn on my car, multiple errors, go to drive the car thinking I need to reset it from battery change. Shut off my car, but go to turn it back on. Car cranks but won't turn on, shows multiple errors on dash. 5) Dash shows "keyless start system problem" and car won't turn off. When pushing button to turn off car, head lights and a/c turn off but the engine still runs, push/start button flashes. Disconnected battery, still runs. Had to pull fuel or ECU fuse to stop the car running. 6) Can't reliably get my car to start. Issue is intermittent.

Engine began misfiring and would deliver inconsistent power. The fuel injector was faulty and leaked gas into the engine oil.
