Have sticky issue . My vin was due for a recall took it in . Like always "couldn't replicate the issue" so no fix was provided . Vehicle was not fixed just cleared from recall. All dealers are going to say that just clear it and say there's no issue . Something else needs to be done . They said my tint was causing the issue but I had the issue was before tint was applied . Has completely nothing to do . No rental was given . Waste of my time and money . My steering has completely lost steering twice already intermediate then comes back .

As a longtime Honda owner, I've had 6 other Honda vehicles, I purchased this vehicle for my son when he turned 16. As a new driver, he did not recognize the steering problems that I DID the first time I drove the vehicle and this happened :( This is very scary for a parent but I recognize he may not have known different. Soon after I purchased my new vehicle, I noticed the steering seemed "stiff". I would be driving the vehicle and would feel like there was no power steering. I would be 'jerking the wheel' in order to try and correct the steering. I would constantly be gripping the wheel in order to steer the vehicle, even on straight, highway roads. I stopped allowing my son to drive the vehicle because of my safety concerns. I would attempt to set the cruise control so I wouldn't have to be 'fighting the wheel' and after a short amount of time with cruise control on, cruise control would automatically shut off for no apparent reason. This issues happened on multiple occasions. I took the vehicle to my dealer, over 80 miles one way, on multiple occasions. I showed them video of the steering issues that the passenger took when this would occur. They couldn't get the problem to duplicate. Finally after the third trip to the dealership, they submitted for warranty request to replace the steering column. On the fourth trip, the steering column was replaced. This is obviously a major safety concern!

Steering feels like it sticks when making micro adjustments on highway speed and when it finally budges, it over-exaggerates the adjustment and you end up wandering in your lane or going out of the lane, causing you to swerve out of the lane. Been taken to the dealer 2 times in less than a month and was told they’ve had multiple complaints from other owners about the same problem and have felt it themselves on other ‘22 Civics but since it does not generate an error code when they run a diagnostics, they cannot do anything about it nor can they replace anything.

The vehicle exhibits an unmistakable thump noise when going over a speed bump or while typically driving at low speeds over cracks in any road surface. Naturally took the vehicle into the authorized dealer, technicians instantly replaced the sway bar links, However the thumping noise from the front end over bumps is still present. A noticeable "creaking" noise can also be heard from the front end when accelerating and at low speeds.

1700 miles In the odo . Steering feels as if it gets stuck on high way speeds . Having to force it to keep the steering in the center . Definitely not normal . Started noticing it about 1500 on the odo only getting worse. Almost feels like the car is not aligned . Properly . Brand new car not staying straight is a concern of steering rack issues . Common for this car . Scared to report it to dealer they are only going to submit papers and say is completely Normal . Waste of time . This should be a recall

Multiple Dealers have diagnosed and repeatedly attempted to remedy. Honda America Tech support has yet to offer any workable solutions.
