2022 Honda Civic Steering

My steering has a very bad clunk, i have been told my honda and other technician that rack and pinion is internally damaged. I waited for the recall and when i went in for my recall honda only added grease which stopped my steering to stick but the damage has been done, because for almost 2 years i drove the car with sticky steering wheel and i believe bec8of not enough grease in the rack it has damage the steering rack and im out of warranty like my other like me.

I was in an accident due to the recall. I paid for the steering rack replacement as Honda dealership refused to replace it. I need reimbursement for replacing this part

After recall was done. Car is still experiencing hard to turn, jerking and clicking noises when turning to park. Was on highway and car jerked caused me to almost hit a passing car.

While driving on a regular basis steering wheel is sticking. Have to jerk the wheel to get it unstuck. It is scary when having to jerk wheel and not lose control when it unsticks. Took it to dealership advised needs new steering rack for almost $4000.

After intermittently experiencing sticking of my steering wheel and creaking/grinding when turning the wheel, in April 2024 my vehicle’s rack & pinion recall was closed at Northside Honda (28,676 miles). In May 2024, I was provided a free oil change at the same dealership. I wasn’t informed of any failed recommendations or provided a copy of the multipoint inspection (29,328 miles). The sticky steering continued to be intermittent and I was unable to replicate it, specifically as cooler weather began. In February 2025, my vehicle’s steering gearbox recall was closed and corrective action was performed at Hill Country Honda due to my sticky steering noticeably occurring at highway speeds, making it difficult to return to center, specifically during a drive home from work that required significant effort to stay in my lane (38,957 miles). In October 2025, I scheduled another inspection, as the sticky steering had noticeably returned once more at highway speeds. It was then diagnosed by Hill Country Honda’s technician to be an internal failure of the gearbox with a recommendation of electric steering gearbox replacement (51,073 miles). After numerous attempts to inform Honda Corporate of my recent finding (fail recommendation “incorrectly assembled steering rack”) which Northside Honda never mentioned to me in 2024, neither Honda Corporate nor the dealership will take accountability. I’ve also noted that no comments were listed in the rack and pinion recall to indicate a concern/complaint, despite my description stated above. The dealership is continuing to state my car was not included in the recall though listed on my oil change visit after the recall was closed and they won’t cover 100% replacement regardless of this being incomplete warranty work from 2024. A new investigation NEEDS to be opened on this steering recall. Honda Corporate’s corrective action has not helped numerous people from what I’ve researched even with the replacement of a steering rack.

The steering wheel has a difficult time making small adjustments. The adjustments feel like the steering wheel is stuck and requires additional effort to make small adjustments.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN SEPT 2024 THROUGH CARVANA RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED THE STEERING WAS STICKY SO I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN JAN 2025 AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG W/ MY STEERING THAT IT WOULD KIND OF STICK WHEN TURNING HE SAID IT WAS A RECALL AND THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR FREE SO THEY 'FIXED' IT AND AFTER I PICKED IT UP IT WAS STILL DOING IT, WELL NOW I BRING IT BACK AND THEY TELL ME I NEED A NEW STEERING RACK, ON A 2022 HONDA CIVIC SPORT, ARE YOU SERIOUS? AND THAT IT WILL COST $3700.00. SO THE DEALERSHIP DID CONFIRM I NEED A NEW STEERING RACK, THE STEERING ALWAYS STUCK SINCE I BOUGHT IT I DIDNT NOTICE IT WHEN I FIRST DROVE IT BECAUSE IT STARTS AFTER THE CAR IS WARMED UP LIKE THE FIRST 10 OR 15 MILES ITS OK THEN IT STARTS STICKING. I HAD JUST READ ON A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THAT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY FILED A COMPLAINT W/NHTSA AND YOU GUYS WERE DOING AN INVESTIGATION SO I THOUGHT I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT AS WELL

It’s sticking bad and clicking. Very dangerous feeling. Highway speeds I need to make strong corrections to unstick the steering wheel. It’s a constant fight to keep it in the lines.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? My steering rack is damaged and needs replacement (confirmed by Honda Dealership). This causes the steering wheel to get stuck into place (mainly left side). To dislodge it you need to jerk it to the other side which causes the vehicle to become unstable. I first noticed this problem on March 20, 2025. I ignored it at first, but the problem got worse with time until last week my steering wheel locked into place and sent me into the left lane. Luckily there were no cars on the road, as this would have caused a major accident. This issue is life threatening to both myself and other drivers on the road. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Yes Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, attached scan below. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, by Honda Dealership Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, no warnings, the problem just began. This problem was documented in NHTSA campaign #23V704000.

Sticky Steering & Fluctuating Steering Torque. Car loses control due to this steering problem. There was a recall for this problem (SJS 2022-25 Civic EPS Grbx Greasing Saf Rec). Dealer repaired the recall but the issue came after short period of time. So the the repair was not done properly.

There are 2 recalls on this car. A gearbox and power steering rack, the dealer has not replaced either one of them. They greased the power steering rack, and that's it. When steering to the right or left, there's a very large grinding sound and they are stating that it did not come from a power steering rack, faulty, they didn't even check the power steering rack or the gearbox, all they did was grease the power steering rack. I want this remedied, my daughter drives this car and there's something going on with the power steering rack, and it is starting to affect other issues in the car, tie rods, bearings etc and that's not fair. The manufacturer should be replacing these items. Steering components are a huge safety issue in this car and the manufacturer at the dealership will not replace these items.

Steering wheel appears to stick in position until a large amount of force is applied often resulting in an overcorrection.

risk of crash is expressed

I was in an accident on November 22, 2024 wherein my vehicle became difficult to control due to issues with steering. I was severely injured. I broke my left arm, had a right orbital floor fracture, and a severe concussion. I later learned my vehicle was under recall for issues related to a defect in the steering column of my vehicle. I was not able to get the vehicle repaired under the recall due to the accident ocurring prior to notice of the recall.

On [XXX] the steering system on my 2022 Honda Civic failed as I was exiting the the city's inner loop in downtown Rochester, NY. Simultaneously, the entire dash screen lit up. It was fortunately a momentary failure and I was able to avoid an accident. I had purchased the car 9 days before, on [XXX]. In conversation with the sales rep., I mentioned that the steering didn't feel quite right. He suggested that I just needed to become familiar with the newness of it. I accepted his explanation. I was paying for a Certified Pre-Owned Honda, and felt confident that the vehicle had been fully inspected for any steering issues. The day before the steering failure, I notified the same sales rep that the car's maintenance signal went on. He suggested it was indicating an oil change, which would have in itself been an issue since the car was not due for one. After notifying the sales rep and dealership manager of the steering failure, the manager arranged for delivery of a loaner car and had my vehicle returned to their service department. The following day, he relayed to me that the service tech did not find a problem and questioned if I could be mistaking the lane assist technology as a steering failure. I assured him that wasn't the case and, again, described the flash of light from the dash that accompanied the failure. By this time, I had discovered online the Honda recalls for steering failure including the 2022 Civic. I also read driver reports that described the lit-up dash. The manager claimed not to know of any recalls or problems but said he would pass the information on to the service tech. I asked if the service tech. would know if the previous owner had the car serviced for any recalls since I only had access to current recall status. I'm waiting to hear back from the manager.

When driving at any speed above 30mph the steering wheel sticks. This is quite scary and has cause some very close calls when driving down the busy highway. I have taken it to the dealership several times and they have yet to fix this dangerous issue.
