  10/19/2023 NHTSA recall 23V-704, Manufacturer recall YFW 10/28/2023--I rented a 2022 Honda Civic from National at airport. Leaving the airport initially I didn't notice an issue. But after traveling several miles at highway speeds, on changing lanes or making minor adjustments in direction, I noticed the steering wheel felt like it would stick, then release allowing the car to change direction, stick, then release allowing the car to change direction. This happened with each adjustment of the steering wheel. This did not occur driving at slower speeds. 11/2/2023--I had driven west from Miami Beach on Tamiami US Highway 41 and had entered Cypress National Preserve. I had reached about the midpoint between Miami Beach and Naples, missed the left turn to highway 94. Realizing I had missed my turn, I was driving about 45 mph looking for somewhere I could safely turnaround. I saw a road off to the left, slowed to make a left hand turn. While continuing to brake, I started to make the left hand turn. About 30-45 degrees into the turn, the car stopped responding to my turning the steering wheel. LOST STEERING. Car was headed for the ditch and guard rail. I continued to turn the steering wheel left but it had no effect. I continued to brake and slowed the car as I went through the ditch before hitting the guard rail. I did not hit the steering column, my passenger did not hit the windshield. The airbags did not open. My phone automatically called 911. A couple from Tennessee stopped to help us. This happened at dusk and it quickly became very dark. They stayed with us over 2 hours until National's tow truck arrived and then they drove us back to our hotel, 50+ miles each direction out of their way. The tow truck could only take one of us and we could not get Uber or Lyft to go that far out of Miami. No warning lights or messages prior. As of 12/31/2023 NHTSA website indicates this recall still incomplete.

  Same issue as 400 other people the steering sticks when Turing and I have to apply force to get it it go back to center, can’t drive straight down the road past 50 it’s like I’m a drunk driver anytime I’m on the freeway I’ve had the alignment checked and it’s in spec manager at Honda approved rack replacement but no eta it has been 2 months now and I’ve already almost crashed the car and a police officer pulled me over because I was back and forth in my lane so much thank god he understood my problem and let me go and the dealer won’t give me a lender because it’s “not dangerous” I saw somebody else post it’s going to take a death before Honda does anything

• 12/30/2022· STEERING

  Factory Ordered 2022 Civic Touring Sedan summer of 2021. Took delivery October 27th 2021. Vehicle has 17,600~ miles roughly today. Around mid to late summer of 2022 I started noticing the steering becoming semi-stiff, notchy only in centerline position of 3-5 degrees on Highway driving. All driver aides are turned off LKAS etc. Tried with on or off. Basically, any speed in excess of 40+ mph, especially 60+ mph the steering wheel at random feels lightly stuck, semi-locked, resistive at center position or anywhere within about a 3-5 degree center position requiring a slight but constantly noticeable over steer to get power steering to engage properly. Makes highway driving annoying and uncomfortable constantly using wrist to make minor over corrections slightly right/left, left/right against the resistance. Car drives fine below 40mph. Alignment has been done twice to rule it out. Most recently this December. Dealership has been advised on my last alignment. Simply put steering is sticky, notchy, semi-stiff in centered position once above 40mph+ but not at every single time the vehicle is started. Mostly 60% of the time. I am waiting and would seriously like Honda to investigate the issue and release a TSB fix so I do not have to waste my time running around with the dealership debates BEFORE the factory warranty runs out.

• 12/29/2023· STEERING

  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

• 12/29/2023· STEERING

  Steering requires unusual effort. This feels completely different than a car without power steering - it's as if the steering is a bit rigid when steering right or left but loosens up once the initial rigidity is overcome by the driver. Risk is that I didn't know whether I had full control of the car. Quite scary. Problem has not been reported to Honda. No inspections have taken place. No warning lamps, messages.

• 12/29/2023· STEERING

  Steering is binding at highway speeds. I am unable to keep the vehicle in between one lane steadily because every time I make small corrections the steering wheel sticks and causes an over correction which is extremely dangerous. The problem has been inspected and diagnosed by a Honda dealership. I have been told I need a new steering rack and pinion. Upon researching this issue I have found thousands of other 2022 Honda Civic Sedan owners having the same issue with their vehicles, including another individual at the Honda dealership the same exact day I went to address my problem. This is a safety concern and it needs to be addressed and recalled for the safety of all those involved with this year, make, and model car. There were previous recalls with 2023 and 2024 civics due to similar issues with the steering rack and pinion. The 2022 also needs to be considered as it is very dangerous and can lead to bigger issues as the severity of my steering problem has increased as my mileage has gone up. Every single time I drive over 30 miles per Hour my steering wheel begins binding.

• 12/29/2023· STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE

  I’ve been having issues few months after I bought the car from Honda dealership. I took it back and forth to them and they said there was an issue but did nothing. The recalls about the steering came up and I don’t feel safe driving the car but last week I took it and they said there was nothing wrong. Steering is sticky. I’m all over the road having to make corrections 90% of the time I’m driving. Without the lane assist it does it. With the lane assist on the car won’t even stay straight due to the problem. its very unsafe & aggravating to own a car paying so much a month for a newer car and with issues. An alignment was done and the steering wheel cannot be put straight even. It’s definitely a safety problem. Honda wants to do nothing about it due to parts and labor being $2800 and change and they’d be losing money it’s my thought. Thinking about doing lemon law because it’s very unsafe to drive the car and it’s rare when the car shows no problem at all. I shouldn’t have to make corrections the whole time I’m driving.

• 12/29/2023· STEERING

  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.

• 12/29/2022· STEERING

  Steering wheel gets stuck momentarily while driving. It feels like it skips/steps after getting released. As a result small adjustments to the steering wheel are not smooth when the problem occurs. While not touching the steering wheel, it makes a slight move unintentionally. The problem seems to occur at any speed, but less noticeable at high RPMs. The problem puts me and passengers at risk since I constantly need to give adjustments to the steering wheel.

• 12/29/2022· STEERING

  Steering is sticking when making normal minor corrections while driving. This causes the driver to have to over-correct to get past the sticking point. When driving on the highway, this makes driving dangerous, as an over-correction moves the vehicle closer to other vehicles or barriers.

• 12/29/2022· STEERING

  Vehicle have major steaming issues. Over correcting constantly at highway speed. Very dangerous to drive. Brought to dealer. Cannot duplicate the problem. Car curently has 35k miles as I commute everyday with this vehicle. Steering is getting stuck in certain positions. Causing myself to oversteer the vehicle. Does it most at 60-70mph going straight

• 12/29/2022· STEERING

  When driving above 45 mph the steering wheel stiffens or sticks. It is unsafe to drive with this issue because it causes the car to slightly swerve to get the wheel to unstick. When turning I can let go of the wheel and it sometimes gets stuck in a sideways position instead of spinning back like most cars do.

• 12/28/2023· 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!!!!!!!!

• 12/28/2023· STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE

  When driving at mainly 35MHP+ the steering has a “catch” to it. They refer to this as “sticky steering”. Took the car into the Honda dealership and they confirmed the issue. Parts are on back order with no ETA available. This problem has been ongoing for months now and still nothing is being done about it.

• 12/28/2023· STEERING

  The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at slow and at high speeds, the steering was sticking, which required added effort in steering the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but no fault was found, and no repairs were performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

• 12/28/2022· STEERING

  I’ve notice sticking in the steering wheel 2 days ago and seems to be getting worse especially the more I drive. So when driving and not turning for a sec or two two make adjustments in steering weather it’s right or left it gets stuck. I have to put a litter force into it to make steering adajustmenst.

• 12/28/2022· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  I was driving down the highway and I got sprayed by a truck, but the wiper would only clear a small portion of the windshield. There were 2 large pockets on the driver and passenger side that the wiper didn't even touch. This issue only occurs in winter. I believe this is a safety issue because I can't see out the window and the wiper system clearly has some issues. I believe Honda should have added a heated wiper park to this car. My old CR-V Touring had heated park and I did not experience such an issue on that vehicle.

• 12/27/2023· STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE

  The electronic power steering system in the Honda Civic is failing. Steering wheel frequently “sticks” causing the driver to oversteer, in order to “unstick” the power steering mechanism. Power steering is notchy and sticky feeling, increasing in persistence. The vehicle feels unstable, thus unsafe for continued driving.

  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.

• 12/27/2023· STEERING

  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.

  cold weather the wiper blades do not clear the windshield at all. Leaves huge parts of the window not able to see threw. this is at least the 2x to 3x time that this has happen. seems like a big safety issue

• 12/26/2023· STEERING

  When driving at higher speeds, the steering wheel feels "stuck," causing the driver to have to steer harder to overcome the "sticking." There have been no warning lights that have come on due to this problem. This is especially noticeable on the expressway. This is a clearly disconcerting issue on the expressway as I am constantly having to tug one way or the other on the steering wheel to "free" it up. I discussed this issue with a Honda service manager at a local dealership on 12/26/23, and though he acknowledged he has personally experienced this issue on another vehicle, he indicated there is currently no fix. I am the second owner of this vehicle (I purchased the vehicle with just over 16,000 miles). The car now has 30,000 miles and this steering issue is getting 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.

• 12/26/2023· STEERING

  We are experiencing an issue that seems to be related to the power steering of the vehicle. With no particular reason the power steering will start acting up and almost feel like you're trying to pull two magnets apart to get the vehicle to go in a straight line. The steering almost feels like it's stuck in a rut and you have to pull it out and then it gets stuck again and this is never ending throughout the drive. The issue doesn't require much force to overcome but can present itself within corners as well which is particularly concerning especially with the snow/ice season here in the Midwest. During our last oil change Honda mentioned that there was a recall on our vehicle related to the power steering and that they would perform a diagnostic scan to see if our vehicle was affected to which they said it was not. Our issue didn't sound like it was party of that recall though as that recall was about out of spec rubbing issues with the steering rack. Our issue is hard to get into service because the issue seems to be intermittent with no trigger and it's impossible to schedule a service appointment and have the issue diagnosed when it's not presenting itself. Additionally, The issue is present while at all speeds (10-70mph) and seems to be the same in severity.

• 12/26/2023· STEERING

  While driving, my car steers both to the left and right and when I correct it, the steering wheel and tires are stiff as if the tires are sticking to the ground. I also have to drive with both hands gripping the steering wheel firmly to stop the car from over correcting. It has gotten more difficult to steer the car. All of the driver assist features are turned off. This car is unsafe for me as well as other drivers on the road. I received the EPS recall notice inspection and took my car into Gerald Jones Honda in Augusta Georgia and was told that there wasn’t a defect but I am continuing to have this problem. I have an appointment today to take my car back.

• 12/26/2022· STEERING

  Steering feels very jerky on the highway. Best I can describe it is when you are giving little corrections with the steering wheel it feels heavy and then the power steering helps once you get to a certain level of input and the wheel jerks hard. Almost like the power steering can't see the first 5⁰ of input at highway speeds. This makes for a car that is hard to keep centered and unsafe driving conditions on the highway. This effect is noticeable in normal mode and unbearable in sport mode.

• 12/26/2022· STEERING

  The vehicle steering has a spot where it sticks like something is binding happens even trying to make a slight correction and the lane assist is NOT ON when this occurs

• 12/26/2021· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  The cruise control turns off by itself while driving and cannot be turned back on without restarting the car. It can put others at risk because of the unexpected speed change. The car has 800 miles and it has happened 3 times so far. No warnings or lights occurred prior to it shutting off. This seems to be a common issue according to the posts by others here: https://www.civic11forum.com/threads/anybody-having-cruise-control-issues.963

• 12/24/2022· STEERING

  Steering becomes sticky and stuck when turning to left as steering must be manually auto-corrected to center mostly more prominent on highway speeds causing car to be at serious risk for crash. Dealer diagnosed problem as PS rack and replacement is around $3k with out of pocket or extended warranty. This was a known issue for previous generation and continues to be an issue in this generation.

• 12/24/2022· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  Windshield wipers do not fully clean/clear driver side of windshield. This is a MAJOR safety risk as wet roads can impair driver vision from salt and sand trucks. Windshield wiper fluid does not clean/clear drivers vision from this and creates a direct block of vision of the road. What I experienced was minor due to minimal snow. This was very impactful in loss of visibility even on this experience. I am genuinely afraid for my safety as this winger season ensues. This is incredibly dangerous and could cause an accident or possibly death.

• 12/22/2025· STEERING,LANE DEPARTURECrash

  On Sunday, December 14, 2025, I was driving a 2022 Honda Civic Sport with my wife in the passenger seat when the vehicle’s driver-assist/steering system unexpectedly intervened and caused the vehicle to veer off the roadway and down a steep embankment (approximately 40–50 feet) without driver input. I attempted to correct the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to respond as expected. There was no intentional steering command to leave the roadway. The vehicle appeared to steer itself, resulting in a crash. Both occupants sustained injuries. I suffered a neck/collarbone injury and a concussion. My wife suffered a concussion, a large laceration to her outer right calf, and bruising. Medical treatment was required and was sought at urgent care. After the incident, warning indicators were present on the dashboard. I later became aware that this model year has known complaints and recalls related to steering, lane-assist, or driver-assist system malfunctions. These issues were not disclosed at the time the vehicle was purchased used from a dealership. This appears to be a serious safety defect that poses a risk of injury or death to drivers and passengers. The vehicle is currently unsafe to operate.

• 12/22/2025· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  The vehicle experiences an intermittent engine and/or electrical system failure causing the car to losing acceleration while driving. The exact component has not been identified because the failure is intermittent. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The problem has not been duplicated by the dealership, and they have declined to repair the vehicle on that basis. However, the issue continues to occur intermittently despite being reported. The vehicle has been presented to an authorized Honda dealership for inspection. The manufacturer has not identified the cause due to the intermittent nature of the failure. No inspection has been performed by police or insurance representatives. There are no consistent warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. The vehicle looses acceleration suddenly and without warning. The problem first started about a month ago and most recently happened today when our car was almost rear ended due to the car loosing acceleration drastically on its own.

• 12/22/2023· STEERING

  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.

• 12/22/2023· STEERING,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE

  When starting my car, it struggles to start and then the emissions system light stays on, warning of engine power being affected. The car sputters when driving. The lane departure light stays on, as well as the braking system light, which warns of potential problems with braking. My safety is at risk when trying to accelerate and sputtering instead. Since the problem started today, December 22, I can’t go to the dealer until after Christmas. No one else has inspected the vehicle yet. There were no other warnings, however steering did feel strange, starting a couple of days ago.

  When I am driving at high speeds my steering wheel feels like it gets stuck momentarily and I have to force it to go in the direction I want it to. Like it gets caught up on something? Kind of scary driving on the highway and feeling the steering wheel like seize up and have to force it.

• 12/21/2023· STEERING

  While driving on the highway, usually after driving in a straight line for an extended period of time, the steering will become “sticky”. During these scenarios, it takes more effort than normal to turn the steering wheel, and then suddenly becomes much lighter to turn. It can catch an unsuspecting driver off guard and could lead to a crash. I have seen many other complaints almost identical to mine, and Honda even has a service bulletin open about the issue.

• 12/21/2023· STEERING

  I am experiencing a sticking steering wheel sensation that is most noticeable driving at high speeds. The wheel sticks and then jerks when corrected. It feels extremely unsafe. I do not want to drive it out of town or put more miles on it because I am afraid the problem will worsen or cause a wreck. I noticed this at 37,500 miles. Only 1500 miles outside of my warranty. I contacted Honda’s customer service to see if they would cover repairs since this is a known issue and I am right outside of warranty. They said it would have been covered is I was still under warranty. They said that I needed to take it to a Honda dealership, pay the diagnostic fee, get an official diagnosis, then contact them with the diagnosis for information on if they will cover repairs. I paid the fee and the car was diagnosed with “intermittent seizing coming from the power steering rack. Recommend replacement.”. They quoted me $3300 to repair. I contacted Honda and they said they would not waive my diagnostic fee because I’m outside of my warranty and this it’s not an active recall. They forwarded my information to someone to review my case. I submitted my diagnosis and links to this website showing the open investigation. I will be contacting an attorney if Honda continues to refuse to pay for repairs.

  I have less than 2000 miles on a new Honda Civic Ex and the emission systems problem warning light has come on and it says power may be reduced and see your dealer. Took to dealer and they think it is with the fuel cap but cannot get parts since it is too new. Everything I read indicates it is serious and needs immediate attention. Do not know what to do.

• 12/21/2022· STEERING

  Steering is sticking when making normal minor corrections while driving. This causes the driver to have to over-correct to get past the sticking point. When driving on the highway, this makes driving dangerous, as an over-correction moves the vehicle closer to other vehicles or barriers. Note that this problem started around middle of November 2022. Prior to that the vehicle drove fine, no issues.

• 12/20/2023· STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE

  My steering wheel is sticking consistently. When driving I am unable to make minor, gentle course corrections because the wheel gets "stuck" and I have to use more force than normal to get it to move which then causes the car to jerk to the side slightly when it does release. While it is not a large amount of force needed, nor does the car veer wildly around the road it is significant enough that it is causing issues with driving. It requires enough extra force that my arms are physically becoming tired from correcting, and it seems to be increasing in severity. When I first noticed the issue it was sporadic and mild. It has now become constant and impedes driving. I am unable to drive straight without my car jerking back and forth every few seconds. It happens at all speeds, and both when lane keeping assist is on and off. Further, my lane keeping assist feature is now not functioning at all even in perfect conditions.

• 12/20/2023· STEERING

  The steering wheel gets 'sticky' just to the left or right of the top dead center. It will catch and then release causing a sudden movement of the steering wheel. It is most noticeable above 45mph. It is very unnerving in the rain as it feels as if the car is hydroplaning even though it is 'just' the steering wheel sticking. Higher speeds on the interstate with mild corners are quite scary because the steering wheel doesn't just turn as you move your hand...it will catch and then with more force, it will suddenly release. To Honda's credit, they are replacing the entire steering rack and EPS under warranty but there doesn't seem to be any design change to the replacements so if this is a design issue I worry this issue will just return later on. It was noticeable when the car was at 5-6k miles but has become increasingly worse over time. It is now at 26k miles. There seem to be many concerns online over the same type of issue. The part is on back-order so I fear it will take some time to be fixed.

• 12/20/2022· STEERING

  The steering of the car is hard to control starting at 30 mph and getting progressively worse as you increase the speed. The steering wheel seems to lock in a position and when you try to correct your path of travel it causes an over correction due to the additional force necessary to try and keep the car in the intended path. I had 2 close calls where I almost had an accident on the high way because of this. along with my hand being damaged as a result of a service connected disability I fear that I wont have enough strength to keep the car from veering into a tragedy.
