2023 HONDA CIVIC SI Complaints

steering gets very rough when driving for long periods of time/distances. steering tends to pull to the left, and constantly need micro adjustments to keep car going straight.

The steering wheel sticks while driving necessitating extra force to move it. It is an ongoing situation.

Steering wheel is sticking and prefers to be at 12 o’clock. Feels like a slight grab and sudden release at times almost like the wheel is pulling away from the driver.

When driving at or above 40-50 mph, the steering of the vehicle gets "sticky" such that if a particular line, like a curve or bend in the road, is held for more than 1 or 2 seconds, the steering of the vehicle maintains that line and requires stronger force on the steering wheel to break its direction. The steering at all speeds can mimic this, making the steering feel segmented rather than a smooth rotation, but it is more significant at higher speeds. The problem is more noticeable in "sport" steering setting. Unsure if this is a power steering, suspension, or other kind of issue. I have not yet reported this to my car dealership, but it will be at my next service. There are no warnings on the dashboard regarding this issue.

The car has 2200 miles on it and the steering started to "stick" while driving at highway speeds. The steering wheel will take extra effort when trying to make adjustments to stay in a lane and you need to apply extra pressure before it feels like it gets past a bump. This is very dangerous as slight direction changes require extra force, then that extra force is all of the sudden not needed, causing over steering. I have looked it up and realized this is a common issue with new civics, so want to make sure my case is documented as well.

My steering wheel started to twitch on November 2, 2023. My car has a little over 9,000 miles on it. The LKAS system is not activated when the twitch occurs. I toggled between the different driving modes (Individual, Sport, Normal). I experience the twitch in every mode. I have found it difficult to move the steering wheel from the center position. I have to fight resistance to make steering corrections to keep the car centered in my lane. I am concerned the car will steer itself and cause an accident. I made an appointment with the dealer on November 9, 2023 to troubleshoot the situation. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No faulty indications have been observed on the vehicle's instrument cluster.

At high speeds the steering becomes stiff and sticks to one side. It's hard to make small adjustements and when you push too hard to "unstick" the steering wheel the car jerks left and right. This will become a much bigger issue with snowy roads and black ice.

When driving around highway speeds the steering seems to “stick” or require more effort to like minor adjustments and cause slight over correction, problem doesn’t happen at low speeds

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".

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.
