2023 HONDA CIVIC SI Complaints

At around 15K miles I started having an issue where my steering wheel would stick at an angle. Almost like it was stopped and shut off. As I would attempt to turn the wheel from left to right it would get semi stuck and you’d have to force it to break it free. This had happened numerous times and is an issue with the 11th gen si. The power steering rack and pinion were replaced under warranty after taking the car in multiple times and them claiming they never could replicate the issue. However, they replaced it with the same part so the issue will come back. During the time before replacement it got stuck and I had to pull hard to avoid hitting a car, barriers on freeway 99, flying off a cliff, and avoid driving off the road.

after 5000 miles, my steering became sticky when driving at highway speeds. the problem persists at lower speeds once it begins

Experiencing sticky steering . I feel a notch when turning left or right. The notch causes slight/minor resistance.

Steering is sticky. Resists smooth subtle movement of the steering wheel while driving.

When driving on the highway and speeds exceeding 40-45 mph, the steering wheel becomes, "sticky". The steering wheel sticks to one direction and will not move unless you forcefully turn the wheel. It takes more effort to make minor adjustments to the steering wheel than a traditional car with a fully working steering wheel. Its as if someone poured super glue all over the insides on the steering components and you have to fight it just to turn the steering wheel any amount.

Sticky steering at highway speeds. Minor steering adjustments at highway speeds get "stuck" for a second.

Steering gets unusually stiff driving in a straight line at highway speeds. minor adjustments are hard to make and is difficult to steer the vehicle correctly when the "stiff steering" happens. very dangerous when it happens. I think it must be a faulty electronic power steering issue.

STICKY FEELING IN STEERING WHEEL WHILE TURNING AT MODERATE SPEEDS, EXTRA EFFORT REQUIRED TO PULL STEERING WHEEL BACK TO CENTER. NO ERRORS OR WARNING LIGHTS. NOTICEABLY WORSE FEELING IN STEERING DURING LONG TRIPS, COLD TEMPS. SOME NOISE CAN BE HEARD WHEN TURNING WHEEL LOCK TO LOCK WHILE STATIONARY.

The problem occured on November 2023 last year. The steering has a sticky and notchy feeling, specially when changing lanes and when turning, the steering wheel gets stuck during a turn and you have to force it back to center. And that could put me and the others around me in serious danger, very huge risk to a car crash. I got it checked at the dealership last year, December 2023 and they confirmed the problem, but the part needed is currently on backorder and they dont have an ETA for it.

When driving in a straight line or in turns where the steering wheel stays in the same fixed position for more than several seconds, the steering wheel sticks. It occurs when no corrections to steering are made for a while. It’s a light stick, but it’s very noticeable. When it happens, more than a normal/reasonable amount of pressure is needed to unstick the steering wheel when trying to change lanes or stay in lane. This has led to making over corrections. This problem seems to happen at various speeds, but I’ve found it most noticeable between 35-70 MPH. I believe this is a problem with the electric power steering system. The safety of other motorists and myself are put at risk because this problem occurs at a high rate of speed and leads to over-corrected steering. I am taking the car in for service on 01/25/2024 to see if they can replicate the issue. It has not been inspected yet. No warning lights or messages have appeared.
