2024 Honda Civic Complaint Log

At about 3000 miles, and when it was cold, started to experience “sticky steering”. On the highway, at higher speeds, the car resists when making small movements away from straight ahead. I took it in for the separate steering rack recall; my car did not need work due to the recall. However, they will be replacing the steering rack because of the sticky issue. The part is backordered, with no ETA. They said it’s safe to drive, but it does make me nervous to go on the highway.

Steering wheel sticks when making small adjustments on highway after driving for a certain amount of time, usually 20-30 minutes. Will reset itself after cooling off and sitting overnight. When it sticks it takes more force than expected to unstick, causing my car to jerk in the lane. It started as it is getting colder outside, and the car is relatively still low mileage (5700mi).

I was driving in the free way, was trying to change lanes, and my steering wheel, got stuck and when I try to change back to my lane, it swerves loosely. Not sure what’s going on.

2024 Honda Civic Touring at about ~4650 miles when brought into the dealership on 1/10/24 Two days prior, experienced sticky steering while driving on Highways speeds betweens 40 mph and 70 mph. Steering wheel would get "stuck" in the center position requiring extra force to be able to turn. Sometimes causing the car to hear or unable to turn without applying extra force. After the steering became unstuck, it would function normally until it went back to the center position. Brought it to the dealership on 1/10/24, and they diagnosed it as a bad EPS (Electronic Power Steering) unit and informed me that the part is on back ordered and could be a month or so. This car was purchased on 9/30/23 with 5 miles on it, no previous owners I had it checked on 12/23/23 for the recall that was issued, but my car was not affected due to it not having the replacement EPS unit that was being recalled.

Reading on honda forums explaining how a faulty steering rack issue with this 11th gen sedan model causes damage to the tire and increasing the probability of a crash. My steering wheel started wobbling at about 25 mph with the lane assist activated. And stopped after I had it turned off Car has only 230 miles on it, and recall wasnt explained by the dealer.

While I was turning my vehicle it set off the lane departure feature throwing me into a concentrate decretive section on the road. My blinker was on and the feature shouldn’t have went off knowing I was turning my vehicle through me off the road. I was so shocked I peed myself.

While driving down the road at speeds of 30mph or more, the steering wheel feels like it is sticking. It makes it noticeably harder to turn the steering wheel at speeds to make minor adjustments to stay in the lane. I took it to Honda and we are currently waiting on a new steering rack to come in to try and fix the problem. When taking it to 2 different dealers, they were both able to confirm the issue. There were no warnings or lights on the dash when the problem first occurred.

Civic has just over 5500 miles on it and now traveling at highway speeds in a straight line it is difficult to move the steering wheel and it feels like it is stuck in a rut and requires a tug to get the wheel to turn. This happens at 50+ mph speed and I have tried it with road departure and lane keep off and it still happens. It you keep moving the wheel slightly it won’t do it but when trying to turn slightly after traveling straight for a while it occurs.

I was driving on the Interstate had car on cruise control set at 70mph it began to slow to 60mph because of a vehicle in front of me so I moved to the left lane to go around and the vehicle just speed up (G5 force) on its own very quickly and reached speeds up to 80mph and would have kept accelerating past 80mph had I not disengaged the cruise control instead of braking. The second issue we have found was the steering became uncontrollable. It feels like the steering wheel gets stuck and hard to control to stay in your lane. You are not relaxed to drive this vehicle. Your body tenses up just to control the steering. We took it to the dealer for the steering recall but I don't think this is the issue. It is something more serious. We refused to drive our vehicle until it is repaired. A loner vehicle was given to us as the parts for the recall will not be in until April 2024.

Oil leaking. Visible leaks on engine cover.

When Lane departure is turned on it tries steer, vehicle off-road. Also noticing jerking motion or sticky steering at mainly highway speeds where car is difficult to steer around curves, and then straight lines
