2022 HONDA CR-V Complaints

While on a 5 hour trip on the freeway/highway, when following a right curve, my steering wheel hesitated before returning to the left as the curve straightened out. This occurred at every significant right curve for the duration of the drive. It does not happen at less than 60 MPH.

Problem with car was first noticed around 16,300 miles. The severity of the problem is intermittent. Sometimes it happens about 15- 20 times in a mile and at other times just a few. The steering wheel is pulled to the right when not steering in that direction. It almost feels like the lane assist is on, but it is not. Also, when backing out of a parking spot and the wheel is pulled at a sharp angle there is a creaking sound and the steering wheel has intermittent resistance. The car was brought to a Honda service center at 16,598 and they could not reproduce the problem until I drove the car with them and then they agreed that there is a problem. I was told it needs a gearbox/motor set, which is on backorder. I was told that I could still drive my car.

Steering wheel becomes "jerky" and sticks, then suddenly releases causing car to move quickly in one direction. Difficult to keep in place. Also makes loud popping sound when turning. This can cause car to come in contact with whatever is beside you, a car in another lane, or a barrier or ditch on the opposite side. This can obviously cause an accident putting driver and passengers in danger and also those not in the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer I purchased the car from and they have stated it is unsafe for highway travel. They said I could drive around town, but that prohibits my driving to other areas. Also, feels unsafe driving even locally. They have ordered new system but says part is on backorder and they don't know when it will be in. There were no warning lights regarding this issue. Car has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance or others, just the Honda dealer where purchased.

Steering sticks significantly when turning left, I have to use force to correct the steering when it sticks. On the highway any left steering adjustments from wind or lane changes the steering sticks and I have to pull right on the steering wheel to correct the issue. This is not safe at all

When driving 25-45 mph on winding roads, the front right tire feels like it's grabbing the road when I'm following a slight right hand curve in the road - then the steering wheel bounces back when I straighten the wheels to follow the road. The steering wheel feels twitchy while I'm driving at speeds under 50 mph. No one has been injured or put in danger to this point in time when this happens. I had the car serviced on 5/1/2024 and a Tech drove the car but wasn't able to duplicate the experience. The tires were rotated and a 4 wheel alignment was done. However, the same issue appeared after leaving the dealership. It's listed as a 45HOZ05 - Suspension Concern. I leased this 2022 CRV Touring AWD on October 28, 2022 and the Steering Problem started occurring in late 2023. I called my salesman while I was driving and experiencing the problem in late 2023 and told him about the weird steering. The first year I drove the car, there weren't any issues. But at about 8,500 miles, the pulling while steering started. There haven't been any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms before or during the problem.

sticky steering while driving above 25 mph. Steering feels as if there is a "catch" in it and will become "stuck" which makes the driver have to make adjustments to the steering wheel to make it "unstick"; especially noticable at highway speed in a sweeping left hand turn. drivers noticed this starting to occur approx. 1000 miles ago, and it is getting progressivley worse. no accident "yet", vehicle has not been seen by a dealer yet. NO warning lamps, indicator lights or messages

The steering sticks/binds when making small corrections in turns. When sticking it requires extra effort to turn, and then will over-correct. Problem seems worst when the steering wheel is turned between 15 degrees or more from center. Problem is intermittent and seems to get worse the farther the car is driven without stopping. Left hand decreasing radius curves seem to be the worst with the wheel sometime snapping/popping back when the accelerator is applied at the exit end of a curve. Maintaining control within my lane in a left turn at 30-70 mph is difficult when problem is most acute. This is definitely a safety issue which is disconcerting at best and dangerous at worst. Sometimes can feel the stickiness even when sitting still and turning the wheel past 20 degrees off-center, with occasional popping noises coming from the steering box. I am very concerned since this problem has gotten markedly worse in the last six months, even though it is still not consistent each time driven. There is definitely something wrong in the steering gearbox with something causing it to bind intermittently.

Rack of rack & pinion requires replacing. I had it checked at a Honda dealership. Problem was diagnosed. Told the part was back ordered until mid-September nationwide. Was told car was drivable. Internet has many reports of “sticky steering”. Although drivable, driving is not safe, according to many sources. I am uncertain if Honda covers this cost. It is not a listed recall. However, many reports of this problem exists. I don’t want my wife or me to be exposed to harm & we could harm others. Honda should take greater efforts to quickly take care of this dangerous situation.

3 times now, I am driving straight and flat about 35-40 MPH, dry conditions, and the AEB triggers with nobody around me at all.

My car has 10,800 miles on it. Yesterday as I was driving, I noticed the steering wheel sticking to where it needed extra force to turn it past that point. This is happening at very low speeds and at highway speeds. There is also a click/clunk noise that sounds like it’s coming from under the hood whenever this steering issue happens. Having to force the wheel makes me overcorrect which could make me go into another lane. I’m taking it to a dealer tomorrow. There are no warning lights or messages.
