2023 HONDA CIVIC SI Complaints

As I drive my Honda at regular city highway speeds of 60-65, the steering seems to veer off by itself. For example, if I am driving, the car will begin going left and I have to bring the steering wheel back to the middle to remain going straight. Same thing for veering to the right. I take extreme care of my car and this issue has recently started. I am about to hit 10,000 miles. It seems as if the steering is “sticky”. It is scary because it feels like the car is all over the road at times of highway driving.

- Faulty steering rack. - Car feels uncontrollable at speeds anywhere above 20mph. The steering wheel sticks when turning and has to be forced to make adjustments or to bring the wheel back to center. Therefore un allowing me to make proper steering adjustments making the car feel jerky. -The problem has not been able to be reproduced by dealer. - It has been inspected by a dealer ship 2 times. - No warning lights.

When driving down the road at speeds above 40mph, the steering wheel “sticks” when attempting to make adjustments and when force is applied it jerks the steering wheel (and car) when it unsticks. Has happened multiple times but dealership was unable to replicate this. This has been happening intermittently since the odometer read approximately 2,500 miles. Car currently has 6,200 miles on it.

The power steering sometimes randomly fails and locks the wheel in position. It is similar to when the vehicle is stopped at a complete stop with the auto start/stop on and the car shuts off. It takes a significant amount of force to get the wheel to move. This is incredible dangerous on the freeway to have to attempt to fight the wheel to ensure you don’t hit the vehicle next to you.

After driving for about 20-30min, the steering were sticky and hard to adjust giving resistant, I see there is a recall on other Honda Civic Trim but not on the SI, I believe the SI Trim had the same issue.

After driving for 20-30 min, when I noticed the steering wheel is hard to adjust I am assume it is about all other complaint refer to "sticky steering" issue I see there are recall on the other Civic trim but not the SI trim, I believe the SI also have the same issue.

Incident occurs on most highway drives when lane assist is activated and then deactivated. Steering tends to “stick” and not allow smooth motion. Can also be felt at a complete stop from occasion.

The steering on the Honda Civic has issues after driving for 5K miles. The steering currently has a sticky/locking feeling when driving highway speeds (55+ mph) which feels unsafe to drive at high speed. The vehicle is currently at the local Honda dealership and was assessed that the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) gearbox requires replacement. There is currently a backorder on the EPS gearbox with an unknown ETA. My vehicle has currently been sitting at the local Honda dealership for over 5 weeks (since Nov 25, 2023).

Steering wheel at speeds 40+ sticks. Makes it hard to make small movements and causes very abrupt changes and over corrections. Taking a tight turn it stuck and I almost hit a guard rail. I will be taking it in to the dealer in a few days.

My civic Si is experiencing “sticky” steering while driving above 40 mph. Small adjustments in steering cannot be made. I need to jerk the steering wheel for it to adjust sometimes. Cannot make smooth adjustments when highway bends. There are no warning messages. This however is a well know issue happening on all 11th generation Honda civics. This is a safety issue because if you need to make minor adjustments in steering as the road bends, sometimes you have to jerk the steering wheel and it will over steer.
