2018 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

Steering becomes jerky while driving and sticks to the left and right. This is dangerous at higher speeds because it becomes tough to maintain my own lane. This is a documented problem in both 10th and 11th generation civics and has to do with the power steering. Vehicle was just inspected 3 weeks ago and passed tests and no warning lights related to issue have activated.

2018 Honda civic has been having sticky steering. Going down highways or even city limits (45) the vehicle pulls to one side and when trying to correct the steering wheel will stick. I thought it was just in need of an alignment but the problem wasn’t solved after researching and saw the fuel pump recall I took it to Honda for the fuel pump recall and had them inspect the steering also they stated it was the electric steering rack, steering rack bearings no warning messages or lights

Faulty fuel door actuator. replace fuel door actuator. And emergency latch within the trunk did not work. No way to open the fuel door to add gas.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not yet available.

Paint on hood started chipping away few months back. Now entire car hood paint is peeled off and starting to get corrosion perforation. Some parts of hood shows material fatigue and potential to have structural damage/holes into hood. Vehicle was inspected by authorized dealer (AutoNation Honda Hollywood, Florida) of Honda. Report # [XXX]. Case number with American Honda Motor Company [XXX] . Both dealer and manufacturer refused to acknowledge that issue warrants any remediation mentioning that VIN number and color of vehicle is not part of the recall. Honda does have similar recalls for paint peeling off for different color codes and have extended warranty to 7 years from date of manufacturer. Issue is wide spread and can be seen by multiple complaints and manufacturer communication section of NHTSA.GOV website. Issue is affecting other color codes than the one Honda acknowledged in prior recalls. Honda need to address the issue diligently to have issue correct to prevent further damage to hood and potential safety hazard at high speed.

While driving at highway speeds, steering sticks and pulls to one side, and remains so until I force wheel back. This problem first started in February 2024 and has continued untill this date (3/6/2024). This poses a serious safety risk as it unexpectedly pulls car out of a straight direction, and needs to be done continuously. I fear it will ultimately cause loss of control of my vehicle and serious injury. No warning lights come on, the problem happens randomly, but frequently. I am afraid to drive at highway speeds anymore, the problem is very disconcerting.I have not taken the car to the dealer as of yet. I understand Honda is aware of the problem but to date will not address the issue. I am also aware of a class-action lawsuit against Honda for the same problem in 2022-24 Civics. I am more than willing to demonstrate the problem to anyone who wishes to investigate.

A/C & Steering with another recall of the fuel pump The steering was hard to steer car in a straight line. I had to align the car three times so it could run smoother. Something is wrong with the steering. There were no warning lamps or messages. This first appeared from the day I bought it on May of 2018. I had to take the car back to dealership several times. The mechanic could not find anything wrong but I've had several leases of Honda Civic's/Accord's and this is the first that does not drive smooth and has recalls. I feel this car is a patched car/lemon and would rather have it replaced with a newer model and less serious recalls or issues. My car stalled in my carport and got it running after waiting a few minutes. There hasn't been crash or injury but if they don't repair the fuel pump sooner then fall of 2024, this car is not safe for me to drive!

Steering wheel sticks in center making small adjustments jerky feeling. And when it does unstick it causes me have to correct the other direction. Usually at highway speeds after 30-45 minutes of driving

Sticky steering wheel at high speeds after driving for a while. The steering wheel will stick in a spot and I have to use a little extra force to move the steering wheel.

Sticky steering while driving. It makes it difficult to maintain a straight line when making small corrections to maintain a straight line. Any small steering corrections/ inputs are met with a sticky feel in the steering and causes an over correction, making it difficult to maintain a smooth straight line. This problem had occurred once in the past and repaired by the dealer stating that there have been recalls for later year models.
