2023 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

My steering wheel seems to get stuck while driving. It causes me to have to jerk from left to right

Brake mitigation system will automatically slam on brakes and show brake light with no objects in the way

Power steering is sticky at highway speeds resulting in a delayed wheel centering via suspension caster. Does not resist manual input, but makes the vehicle difficult to keep centered in lane due to constant driver inputs to overcome "sticking".

The vehicle's steering wheel gets stuck in place when making turns or going straight. This makes it harder to adjust the wheel and leads to steering over-correction. This sticky steering issue is noticeable at high speeds(>= 45mph), however, when the issue starts it also occurs at low speeds.

The steering feels off when driving on the highway. It feels stuck when I try to make minor adjustments on small curves. I have to force it to release.

When I am driving above 45 MPH in a straight line, it becomes hard to make small adjustments using the steering wheel. The best way to describe what it is like is that is becomes stuck in a position and once you apply enough turning force, it suddenly breaks free or becomes unstuck. This is a continuous issue and happens every time I drive above 45 MPH. It makes it hard to stay in the lane on the highway because making small adjustments is difficult.

At low speed and highway speed steering wheel feels like it’s sticking and won’t return back to center. I would have to make small adjustments to keep the steering wheel straight. Feels like it something with the EPS rack.

After the vehicle has been been warmed up, the steering wheel seems to slip or stick when driving at speeds above 45 mph when driving in a straight path and after you try to make a small steering shift. The wheel feels like it sticks then gets loose for a split second. This started happening righ around 10K miles. When you are driving at slow speeds you don't notice it. Also, when you are making the actual turn, the steering wheel moves freely without skips or slips. It only happens when you driving in straight paths on a a highway when you are holding the wheel and you feel the wheel slipping or getting stuck. You have to over correct which could create a hazard when driving at high speeds. There are no warning lights on the dashboard. I feel that the problem has been getting worse and pronounced every week now. Secondly, the wheel also does not return to the center postion after turning the wheel to the right. Typically the steering wheel should return to center after turning the wheel on its own. I have to turn the wheel back to the center postion manually. I am taking the vehicle to the dealer for them to check it out.

The vehicles steering wheel began making a slight, motorized, clicking noise several weeks ago. I had taken it into the Honda Dealership it was purchased at and they said they could not locate the issue. The steering wheel is now having a sticky steering wheel while the vehicle is running and in motion. This creates a serious safety concern because I have to over correct steering to push the steering wheel past the point it is stuck at. It usually happens when driving between speeds of 30-60 MPH. This has caused me to overcorrect steering in several instances and the dealership has said they cannot fix the issue. It is a serious issue that puts myself and other drivers at risk due to the fact it is an issue with one of the most basic components of a working vehicle. This problem has been confirmed by several others who have driven my vehicle and upon looking at online blogs, it seems to be a common issue with 2022-2023 Honda Civic models. There have been no warning lights on my vehicle and I have over 19,000 miles on the car. Action absolutely must be taken on this matter because it is a pressing safety issue on one of the most popular vehicles driven in the US. It could cause accidents that would result in death due to mechanical failure of the electronic power steering system. The amount of force applied to the steering wheel to move past the stuck point is large enough to overcorrect the vehicle into oncoming traffic. This issue must be investigated.

Electric assist steering feels "sticky" at speed. Unusual resistance is felt when effort is made to make small corrections to keep vehicle centered in lane. Increased effort results in resistance suddenly being released and this leads to unintended swerving. This seems to be a problem with every drive if the vehicle has been driven for more than just a short commute.
