2022 Honda Civic Complaint Log

Steering sticks frequently at highway speeds (60+ mph) and sometimes at city speeds (30+ mph) causing me to apply extra force for micro adjustments and resulting in jerky and unsafe maneuvers. Particularly in extended curves the steering will stick in the initial turn position and require a good amount of force to change position. This creates unsafe maneuvers when driving. Vehicle was taken to dealership for sticky steering issue because I thought it might be related to a steering rack open recall, however dealership stated my vehicle was not affected by the recall and they were unable to replicate my issue with the sticky steering. There is no kind of warning light or notification on dash from any system when this issue happens. The feeling is most like when lane assist kicks in but the lane assist system is not engaging when the issue happens. The issue also happens regardless of lane assist being turned on or off.

Steering is sticking and caused my wife to damage wheel and tire, had recall done and hoped it would fix it but Honda said it was fine and it is still sticking and has resistance while turn both directions. Lane assist is off. We bought for my daughters first car but I will not let her drive it, not safe.

Steering is "sticky", with random resistance encountered, mainly from top center of wheel while making micro adjustments left or right and back to center. It happens almost every time it is driven at various speed. Williams Honda of Elmira, NY looked at my vehicle and determined it was not effected by the steering rack recall. So, I'm unsure what the problem is now.

When driving, typically at highway speeds, steering becomes “sticky” or stiff and more pressure is needed on steering wheel to make adjustments.

The steering wheel is sticking.m when driving straight and in turns. It's a slight stick, but increasingly more noticeable. While driving straight it happens if I don't touch the wheel for a few seconds. Then I'll need to make a minor correction and it's stuck. I have to put some decent pressure on the wheel to make it unstuck, which causes an over-correction. Leaving it in one position for more than a second or two initiates the stuck.

I'm December of 2023 the steering started jerking left and right while driving. Honda also issued a recall related to steering in December of 2023. I took my car in for the recall and was advised the my car was safe to drive. The dealer advised that to resolve the jerky steering a new steering rig/box would need to be ordered. The issued has gotten persistently worse since December 2023 with no confirmed dates for the replacement part.

The steering wheel feels like it’s sticking at times, causing the driver to over adjust when turning curves or even just trying to keep the car straight.

Power steering system making steering adjustments to left or right on its own. Increases with time and speed. When car is pointed straight electronic power steering will slightly jerk the car to left or right without input from driver. Repeated false inputs while driving. Serious safety concern!

We have noticed the steering wheel "catching" at times; this hasn't been severe yet but is concerning. It tends to happen more on highways as opposed to dirt roads, so the higher the speed is. We have an appt today with the local Honda dealer so hopefully this gets fixed.

I have 28,000 miles on my 22 civic sport touring hatchback. For about the last 2-3 months the ability to keep the car driving perfectly straight has been getting more and more difficult. This is on the highway doing 40-70 mph and when driving straight and it almost seems like when you haven’t added any steering input for a few seconds or more, it starts having a slight but noticeable dead spot or sticky spot in the steering. It has caught my anttention multiple times now including everytime I use the lane keep assistance. The dead spot or sticking spot is still there with the lane keep on and it causes the car to not be able to maintain a straight line even with you giving manual inputs. In the last week this has become substantially more prominent because I’ve changed jobs and have an hour drive both ways to work. The dead spot, dead zone or sticky spot is now noticeable going around a corner if you are holding the steering wheel in the same position for more than a few seconds, today I had the steering wheel feel like it was jerking going around a busy corner at a 4 way intersection. The last two days have been much warmer where I live and after 35-40 minutes the sticky spot makes it nearly impossible to maintain a straight line while crying down the road and a lot of roads where I live are long and straight and a brand new 1 year old car should not be doing this. Going around the long sweeping turn at the intersection today was kinda scary feeling the same dead spots as I had the steering wheel turned. It is clearly an issue and I have seen all the other reports of the same issue. I will be taking it to the dealer as soon as they will see me. The problem is that there are no error codes or engine lights and the Honda techs are not driving the cars long enough to have the steering box warm up and start showing the problems. Once the car has been driven for a while it does it at low speeds too. Please help, I know I’m not the only one with this problem

I have experienced sticky steering and continue to experience it for over one year. The dealer was able to reproduce the problem. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no warning lights, or messages. The date for additional details will be today's date for because the problem continues.

At Highway speeds, steering feels sticky. Slight adjustments left and right you can feel a sticking point that let’s go as you apply more pressure. This is a well documented issue across forums and ends up causing extremely dangerous conditions where you are fighting the wheel to steer at high speeds. They need to fix these cars

Steering is catching when trying to make small left and right corrections to maintain lane.

Steering feels weird and the car just can’t drive STRAIGHT. It’s been like this since I bought the car and I thought it was the alignment but it wasn’t

At highway speeds there starts a sticky sensation in the steering. If I’m holding the steering to the left it also feels like it sticks and fails to come back to the middle, but if I apply a little pressure it loosens immediately.

Sticking steering wheel when driving long distances on the freeway and make long turns getting on and off freeway ramps. I brought my car in for service to Honda before the warranty expired at 36k miles regarding the sticking steering wheel issue, another known recall “Part 573 Safety Recall Report” and an oil change. Honda Escondido advised me that my car was good to go. I brought the vehicle back to Honda with just less than 100 miles over the 36k mark and now they advise me that the vehicle needs repair and I'm outside of the warranty period. This issue needs to be updated to an active recall due to the seriousness of danger this issue could potentially cause. Working with the dealership and corporate to get this matter resolved. *Perform a web search and see how many people are dealing with known issue.

When driving, it feels as if the electric power steering is sticking. This has been happening on and off for months but has recently became every time I get behind the wheel. I notice it around 30 mph or higher (the faster I go, the worse it is). I do not feel safe driving my own vehicle. I feel like I always have to correct myself to keep my vehicle in the lane and fear of running off the road, causing an accident or lose control of my vehicle. I have taken my vehicle to my local Honda dealership and they cannot duplicate the issue. I have had 2 mechanics feel it the first time they test drove my vehicle. I have read there is a class action lawsuit for this same exact thing for the exact year, make and model of my vehicle.

Steering is 'sticky,' making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel, it is like it has to 'break free' from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 50-65 mph, regardless of the driving mode

Recently, I've observed that my steering wheel feels stiff when I reach speeds of 45 mph and higher, particularly noticeable on straightaways. The wheel doesn't respond smoothly, making corrections difficult and causing the vehicle to jerk abruptly. It started off gradually, but now has become an everyday occurrence. I lights or indications appear.

Having to adjust the wheel to maintain a straight path while driving. - Steering resistance for minor adjustments while driving at highway speeds. - The wheel sticks, causing the driver to need more force than usual to turn When more force is applied to break the wheel free from its stick, the car may overcompensate in that direction - When turning, the wheel will maintain its position, not slide back to center, if hands are removed from the steering wheel

We purchased our Honda in 2022. Within three months the lane departure system was failing. The wheel was jerky and at times difficult to correct. This occurred while staying in lane and not close to lines on the road. We took it in they identified the issue and replaced it. Within nine months it failed again. This time even worse. They identified it was the same issue. This was December of 2023. Our dealership advised it would be three months to get the necessary parts in. Three months passed. We called, part not in would be another three months. We called back December of 2024. Was advised Honda had canceled the part delivery. I assume due to recall. We would have never been notified had we not been persistent in calling. A letter or phone call from dealership of Honda would have been nice. The excuses were unacceptable. Our concerns were never addressed as the customer service in this issue was non-existing. Our vehicle is getting worse and still this part has not been replaced. Unexcusable. This car had 300 miles on it when purchased, brand new.

I made an appointment at Klein Honda in Everett to have the recall checked out or remedied, the service tech told me that their shop did not have the tools or parts to fix the recall yet. My receipt states that the recall was performed and now my steering wheel has started to stick and jerk subtlety while driving and also parked.

When driving straight or turning the steering wheel just sticks (jams). It is constant and in cases of turning slightly on curves, it jams and just stays jammed for a while or until I snap it back in place. Crazy my car just jumps, very scary at times. I took it to the dealer for the steering rack recall 23V-704 I received and thought it would be repaired, but the dealer told me that my steering wheel issue was not part of the recall, it was something else.

The beginning of November 2023 while driving on the interstate, I started to notice difficulty keeping the car in the lane from side to side in the lane with minimal adjustment to the steering wheel. When I return from my trip I brought it to Honda dealership to have it looked at. They said they couldn’t duplicate the issue that was it about 17,000 miles now I’m at 19,000 miles. The issue is getting worse today while driving on the interstate I barely touched the wheel to correct it to stay in the lane And it pulled to the left causing me to have to pull on the wheel to the right to keep it in the lane. I was not using any of the lane keeping assist safety features. This tends to be worse at higher speeds which is why the dealership says that they can’t duplicate the issue you have to get on the interstate with the car. It is noticeable, but not as bad driving around town.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the steering wheel became firm. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V704000 (Steering) however, the VIN tool showed that the VIN was included in the recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

Sticky steering , feels like the wheel is stuck and takes a bit of power to move the wheel and it could cause an over turn or an accident at worst . It only has 66,000 kms and I just bought it and it's a touring trim and I don't know if it's one of the safety things Honda has added but I've never felt anything like this in any other car. It is annoying but could see it causing an accident when it becomes usable again sometimes it's an aggressive turn to unstick it. I think Honda should recall this and fix it free. It's an expensive car and it should not have this problem especially with a reputation like honda has.

Steering wheel sticks while driving requiring additional pressure to manipulate the wheel. It was checked at the dealership but was not replicated. Dealer stated they knew the issue was the steering system but couldn’t replicate it so they couldn’t repair it. The front collision system alerts and applies the breaks while cruise control is set randomly with nothing around. These issues have been around for a year or so

After driving for a while at highway speeds, the steering wheel becomes stiff, or “sticks,” making it difficult to make minor corrections. This can cause an over correction to get the steering wheel “unstuck,” causing the vehicle to swerve. Have not taken it to a dealer yet, but did call them and they have not heard of this issue. There are no warnings or other symptoms of the problem. This issue first appeared at about 12,000 miles.

The steering feels like it is sticking when lane correcting. You have to use more force than needed to correct inside your lane. When it brakes free you have now over corrected. Could definitely cause a wreck. All assisting aspects are turned off. Happens most often when driving straight but have noticed it when doing long curves. One dealership said it was fine. Second said they need to replace the steering rack, rack and pinion, and gearbox. Part is on back order.

Steering is sticking when driving at highway speeds. Steering wheel requires extra force to begin steering, and after starting to turn the wheel, power steering starts at a delay. This causes difficulty making small steering adjustments and causes sudden overcorrection.

The dealership service center has inspected my vehicle twice. The first time I was notified that the part was placed on back order and there was an unsure date of when parts were to be released. This occurred a few days after the recall notification on 10/19. I received a phone call from the dealership stating that my car is unsafe to drive and still waiting on parts to come in. The same day 11/14, I was given a loaner vehicle. 7 days later I was notified that the part had arrived and the dealership was going to begin repairs. I assumed that my car was going to be fixed. The dealership inspected my car again and I received a phone call on 11/25 that my vehicle does not qualify under the recall stated above. On top of that, they informed me that they were still waiting on the part. I am unhappy with the lack of knowledge from the dealership about the matter and the amount of misinformation I’ve received about the status and qualification for the recall. I have noticed sticking in the steering wheel for months prior to finding out about the recall. I would have pointed it out much sooner if I would have known how serious this is. Apparently it is serious enough that I am unable to drive the car but not serious enough for Honda to recognize the recall and pay for the repairs or obtain the parts in a timely manner. I am highly dissatisfied with the lack of ability to problem solve this safety issue.

when driving on a highway roughly 30 minutes, the steering wheel get stuck when doing micro correction, This feel dangerous. When this happens, A overreaction occurs, making driving experience focus only on that. Not safe.

My went to the Honda dealership and i advised them that the paint on my brand new Honda Civic was peeling. They said they can't do anything and to report it to muy insurance. I have pictures of how horrible my car is getting

While driving at approximately 70mph on highway I-10 (west bound) in the Pensacola area, the steering wheel of my 2022 Honda Civic locked up and became very tight. The car has only 8,500 miles on it and is relatively new. I had to turn the wheel hard to get it to unlock and the car went to the right, the wheel locked again, I then tried to recover to the left and had to turn it hard again causing an overcorrection. The car went into a slide and eventually recovered. I slid into the left side emergency lane and came to a stop. I was able to get the vehicle home but it appears there is a mass problem with this model of the 2022 Honda Civic. The steering wheel tightens up so much above 50mph that the car can't be safely controlled. This came out of no where and the car wasn't doing this before. I am parking the car and contacting Honda immediately to let them know what happened. There have been multiple complaints about this Honda model and others have reported the same harrowing issues. There were no warnings, nothing before it happened. I've never had a problem with Honda so this is shocking. In my opinion, this is a major safety problem that could result in loss of life or property damage. These cars need to be recalled and taken off the road immediately....right now! In my opinion I could have been killed or ran into innocent drivers. These cars are totally unsafe and it is sad Honda isn't addressing the problem. Hold this company responsible.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V652000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH the vehicle would not steer straight. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering rack and steering rack motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired as parts are due to be received in a month. The contact stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

-What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Unknown, possibly the steering rack and or power steering motor. -How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk Inability to safely maintain lanes and the wheel not returning to the center after a turn requires extra force (Especially60+MPH) to get the wheel moving again that causes over corrections and in turn swerving that can be very dangerous to me and others on the road especially after getting stuck during said over correction. -Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, I took the car to the dealership said they were aware of some cars having this "sticky steering" and they did NOT get in the car to confirm the issue. -Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, after I called the dealership about the steering issue, the dealership scheduled appointment for the car and held the car at the dealership for (I think 1) day for a recall for a similar issue description: "An improperly assembled steering rack may allow tires and/or tire chains to rub against the vehicle’s lower suspension or tire rod end, which could cause tire damage." They gave the car back after the 1 day and said the car wasn't experiencing said issue of the tires rubbing and they updated some software. Nothing changed after getting the car back, they did not replace or service any parts of the car. The steering issue has gotten significantly worse since. -Any warning lamps, messages OrOther symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? I started noticing the steering wheel getting stuck when driving straight and requiring extra force to get it moving again, micro adjustments are really hard without over correcting. The wheel also started no longer returning to center and gets stuck off center and LKAS wont stayCenteredInLN

My car has almost 17k miles and has developed a hard steering issue. This mostly happens at highway speeds and has occurred in curves. The steering wheel doesn’t move freely. To correct it takes some effort to make the steering wheel move then it’s a slight over correction. After the initial stick it moves freely. But occurs every time any movement is initiated.

When driving at 50mph the steering wheel gets stuck and requires more force in order to slightly turn the wheel, I took my car to the dealership to get my recall fixed about the steering rack but the issues persists.

Randomly while driving the steering feel stiff and sticky. After making a turn, sometimes the car will stay stuck in the turn and the steering won’t naturally straighten itself out. When turning the steering wheel, it feels “notchy”. The dealership said because I had a curb mark on my wheel that this was the cause and I needed to pay $3000 for a new rack and pinion. The wheel scraping a curb while parking wouldn’t do this. Also, it’s random. At times the steering is complete normal.

The staring feels like it has drag and moves in what feels like clicks it makes it hard to stay in a lane when going around a curve or even on a strataway

Steering wheel is sticking. Takes considerable amount of force to free up. All components pass visual and pre-trip inspections. Advised dealer, no open recalls or WEP to correct this issue. This has been getting progressively worse.

My Steering wheel is getting stuck on high speeds, causing me to unwillingly Change lanes trying to correct the stuck steering wheel I took the car to the dealership for recall, said it wasn't the part they're looking for Service writer took it for a test drive and was unable to verify happens within 30 minutes of driving. I believe it's a faulty electric power steering.

I just hit 30k miles on my civic. And I started noticing the sticky steering. It feels like the steering wheel gets stuck. This is a headache for all 11th gen civic owners. REPLACING THE STEERING RACK DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WE NEED A LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA!!!!!!!!

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, he became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring increased effort to maneuver the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V704000 (Steering), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 86,000.

We are experiencing the "sticky steering" issue that is currently under investigation.

My steering wheel is sticking in center position. When you try to make minor changes it takes some effort and it over corrects. I turned the lane assist feature off and this is still noticed as a problem. This problem just started 11/13/23 that it was noticed while driving. I have 22k miles on a brand new car. it makes it hard to keep centered on the road where you make minor adjustments while driving with barely moving your arms. It feels like it gets stuck in center position. It does not feel correct. My son has a brand new civic also. We bought two the same year and driving his car does not feel the same as mine right now. Its smooth and unnoticed Please help with this safety issue before the steering wheel gets worse.

When driving car, the car would reduce speed on curves, sensing cars o objets on the side as obstacles. November 2023 I rear ended a car, and the air bags fail to deploy, automatic emergency braking fail to engaged. No warning .

STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE ABOVE 40MPH. CAUSES SIGNIFICANT DRIVING CORRECTIONS TO BE MADE TO THE STEERING WHEEL ESPECIALY OVER 60MPH.

Vehicle had been driving off center even after alignment was completed. Took for another one after wife almost lost control of vehicle in highway. Been at dealer since Nov 24,2023 and estimated time for completion is not until April 2024.

My new Honda Civic 2022 purchased April 2022 first exhibited "sticky" steering about 6 months after purchase. The issue started off as a low resistance and would go away and not happen again for weeks. By mid 2023 the sticky steering resistance had become significant and was occurring more frequently. I began taking my car into the dealership however they were unable to reproduce the issue. In December 2023 I could no longer safely operate my car at speeds above 40 mph as small steering corrections required over-steering. I took my car back to the dealer saying I could no longer drive it. They reproduced the issue and took possession of my vehicle. My car is under warranty however there are no parts available to make repairs. The dealership has been in possession of my vehicle for 2 months now and last I was informed the availability of parts had been delayed.
