I purchased a used 2018 CRV in January/February 2024. It came with a recall notice. I have been trying to get it fixed, but two different dealerships have told me that the part is not available and I need to wait for a second recall notice. This is concerning and I do not believe I am being told the truth regarding the availability of parts needed for them to comply with the recall repair.

There is persistent sticky steering issue with my 2018 CRV. It started around 45,000 miles. My steering wheel feels as if it gets stuck when making slight turns. It is very difficult to drive a straight line due to constantly fighting the steering. I have complained several times over the past several years at the Honda dealership and each time I was told they couldn’t mimic or find the problem. I just went back in and demanded to ride along with a tech because it’s getting worse. They are telling me it needs a new rack and pinion and the cost is $3700 because it’s out of warranty.
