2023 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

Electronic Power Steering Gear Box. See TSB 23-037. Steering does not respond as it should. When driving either in a straight line or in a turn, the EPS (electronic power steering) motor fails to sufficiently adhere to driver input (left or right turn). Problem was witnessed by service manager Tony Rocha of Ed Morse Honda 3790 W Blue Heron Blvd, Riviera Beach, FL 33404, (561) 508-8639. Tony drove my car with 36,616 miles and agreed that the steering is "sticking". In order to maintain a lane or make turns, extra force application is required by driver resulting in extremely dangerous oversteering. I am afraid to drive because I cannot sufficiently maintain control of the vehicle. The part has not been inspected because Honda does not employ electrical engineers at their service centers and no mechanic is qualified to understand this system. The only way to identify the problem part is through the symptoms of sticking steering as outlined in TSB 23-037. No warning message or code appears. The problem is persistent not intermittent. It is important to note that Honda recently issued recall 23V-703 in regards to incorrect stroke length of steering rack but this is a separate issue that is being confused/conflated by the service department. Problem is apparent from a standstill and at all speeds. Problem persists with or without LKAS and Lane Departure Mitigation.

The car has 2200 miles on it and the steering started to "stick" while driving at highway speeds. The steering wheel will take extra effort when trying to make adjustments to stay in a lane and you need to apply extra pressure before it feels like it gets past a bump. This is very dangerous as slight direction changes require extra force, then that extra force is all of the sudden not needed, causing over steering. I have looked it up and realized this is a common issue with new civics, so want to make sure my case is documented as well.

My car has about 3k miles it started to make a Crack noise while backing up and pressing the brakes on the right front wheel took it to the dealer and they checked but didn't fix it it appears to be normal on this cars wich I don't believe it sound like if something is backing also now is doing it while I pull forward sometimes I hope there is more people experiencing this issue

When steering the car the steering feels “stuck” when trying to make slight adjustments to maintain the car in its lane. Extra force is required to make minor steering adjustments causing over correction.

My steering wheel started to twitch on November 2, 2023. My car has a little over 9,000 miles on it. The LKAS system is not activated when the twitch occurs. I toggled between the different driving modes (Individual, Sport, Normal). I experience the twitch in every mode. I have found it difficult to move the steering wheel from the center position. I have to fight resistance to make steering corrections to keep the car centered in my lane. I am concerned the car will steer itself and cause an accident. I made an appointment with the dealer on November 9, 2023 to troubleshoot the situation. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No faulty indications have been observed on the vehicle's instrument cluster.

I have not had any issues related to the current recall of hearing a rubbing noise from the tires due to a steering rack issue. I am having a problem with the power steering. At speeds above 45 MPH, the steering is "STICKING or BINDING" and I am having to use excessive pressure to get the steering to return basically to the "CENTER" position. This is very noticeable at freeway speeds when trying to keep the vehicle centered in the lane. It is also noticeable on curves, like when merging on an on-ramp. At times, I don't notice this as much when it is colder outside, like in the mornings but DO notice it when it is warmer outside, like when I am headed home from work iin the late afternoon. I have an appt with my Honda Dealer on 11-4-2023 for the new open recall and plan on bringing this steering issue to their attention.

during highway driving steering wheel gets sticky when the highway veers to the left or right. there is a resistance,and then it jerks in the direction you are turning. also,there is a random static noise coming from the tweeter right front door are. have attached copies of my visits to my local dealership.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became difficult to operate. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to turn the steering wheel. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact stated that whenever the driver’s aid system was activated, the failure was more persistent. Additionally, the failure also occurred while exceeding 60 MPH. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer who was unable identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.

At high speeds the steering becomes stiff and sticks to one side. It's hard to make small adjustements and when you push too hard to "unstick" the steering wheel the car jerks left and right. This will become a much bigger issue with snowy roads and black ice.

When driving around highway speeds the steering seems to “stick” or require more effort to like minor adjustments and cause slight over correction, problem doesn’t happen at low speeds
