2023 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

I have been having problems with my steering wheel. I took my car in September 14th for steering problem. The associate said it’s the alignment without checking the car I asked to first assess my car before assuming the issue. He called me saying it would be $180, I said I would go elsewhere and he asked if I was going somewhere else and how much were they charging I said $80 and he said he would do it for that price. I get it done and I’m still experiencing the same issue. I was told to wait a little to see if the issue would go away and a month passes and I still am experiencing the same issue. My car is pulling, sticking and hard to turn the wheel when driving. I take it back in October and he mentions it’s a recall. I said well I am experiencing the same issue as I would when I first brought it in and he said well you needed an alignment. I have had this vehicle for only ONE year and was told I did not need an alignment done. I have not been able to drive my car for over a month. I was driving on the freeway and my wheel locked and I almost got into a car accident. This is a safety hazard that has caused me to be without a car. I have been going back and forth with Honda of America and the finance team because I have been paying for a car for 2 months that has not been drivable.

Dear Honda Customer Support Team, I want to address an urgent safety concern with my 2023 Honda Civic, which has been affected by the recent recall (NHTSA Recall Number: 24V-744, MFR Campaign ID: SJS) issued on October 3, 2024, for 2022-2025 This recall addresses a defect in the steering gearbox worm wheel, which can swell during use, resulting in a reduced grease film thickness between the worm wheel and worm gear. Additionally, the worm gear spring preload was set too high, increasing friction and causing the steering to become resistant. This defect can create dangerous driving conditions, significantly raising the risk of a crash or injury. On multiple occasions, I have experienced instances where the steering has become unresponsive, effectively “locking up” while driving. These occurrences have been extremely distressing, impacting my confidence in the vehicle's safety and contributing to substantial mental distress. Additionally, I have noticed recurring issues with the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system, such as electrical malfunctions that cause the car to stall unexpectedly, activate the automatic stop feature, and produce erratic sensor behavior. I have reported these concerns to my dedicated dealership, but unfortunately, the issues remain unresolved. On November 2, 2024, I brought my vehicle to White Plains Honda at 61 Bank Street, White Plains, New York 10606, after scheduling my appointment two weeks in advance. However, I was informed that the replacement part required to resolve the steering gearbox defect is on backorder with no confirmed availability date. Considering the safety risks associated with driving my vehicle in its current state, I am deeply concerned about the indefinite delay in repairs. Given the critical nature of these safety concerns, I am formally requesting an immediate replacement vehicle to ensure my safety and that of my passengers.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic Type-R. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. 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. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 15 MPH, while turning right, the steering started sticking. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while turning to the left. Additionally, the contact stated while driving on an uneven road surface, the steering wheel was not responding while making corrections; and the Lane Departure sensor was inoperable. There was no warning light illuminated. The failure mileage was 13,132. Parts distribution disconnect.

The steering wheel start shaking, delayed, hard to steer because it was stiff. I had gotten into a collision on the freeway due to not being able to control the steering wheel. There no other vehicle involved in the accident. On October 5th 2024, the recall was issued but I didn’t receive any warnings till I went online to do research. Honda did not reach out in an orderly fashion. The police and my insurance company were both there to aid the situation. There was no warning lamps at all. My vehicle is currently at LIA Honda located in Albany, NY. It has been 2 weeks since I called to file case with Honda’s Headquarters and still have not been assisted.

Called dealership on 10/21/24 to make appointment for repair on recall was advised no parts still waiting on honda to send in parts

I was driving at highway speeds and my steering wheel started to "stick". It also started "sticking" when turning slightly. In order to stop the steering from sticking I had to make drastic steering adjustments. This puts not only myself but others at risk because it lessens the control I have of the vehicle. As this issue started happening more and more I took the vehicle to the dealership multiple times in order to find out and fix what the problem was. The dealership would never drive the car long enough to replicate the issue as it usually begins after driving for about 30 - 45 minutes.

2023 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Steering is 'sticky,' making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel, it is like it has to 'break free' from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 40-45 mph, regardless of the driving mode. The issue is getting worse the more I drive. Honda sites show no open recalls for my specific car. This 'Sticky Steering' issue is purportedly attributed to possible defects in STEERING GEAR BOX, WORM GEAR, WORM WHEEL, WORM WHEEL TEETH components. I will be addressing this safety issue with a local Honda dealer.

Power steering rack replacements still defective causing safety concerns while driving.. Have to fight electronic steering, at high speeds steering wheel becomes more difficult to control.

I was driving at highway speeds, randomly all brake system warning lights come on. All ADAS systems are inop, EPB is inop, my brake pedal would get soft intermittently while braking. Multiple DTC’s were stored every visit. I was almost in multiple accidents because of this issue. It took over 6 visit to local Hondas dealer to get this issue fixed. All they would say “oh the codes don’t mean there is a problem” Honda is not warranting their cars. I contacted corporate and they did not care.
