2023 Honda CR-V Steering

We are experiencing stiff & jerky steering on our 2023 Honda CRV with current mileage of 9,600. Vehicle is available for inspection. We are concerned that if steering wheel were to lockup, we might not be able to avoid a collision. This would put us & others in danger. At the dealership on April 9, 2024 the problem was confirmed to be in the power steering. They told us a replacement part has been ordered, but it is on back order & they are unsure how long it will take to receive it. They assured us the vehicle is safe to drive. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else. There is no warning lamp or message alerting us to the problem.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle frequently veered to the left independently, after which the contact became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly. The power steering warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the steering rack and pinion. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 12,000.

Issue with steering. Vehicle occasionally and sporadically has a sticking wheel. When driving and making a slight adjustment the wheel sticks slightly and has to be adjusted.

Sticky steering. Wheel gets “stuck” then breaks loose

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45-70 MPH, the steering wheel was shaking abnormally. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering gearbox needed to be replaced. The mechanic informed the contact that approval from the manufacturer was needed before repairing the vehicle, and that the part was on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a claim. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

Recently, when returning from a highway driving trip, I noticed that the steering had become "sticky." It feels like the steering wheel catches momentarily you have to push through that with the steering wheel to control the car. At this point the problem is mild as the car can be driven but it is a little disconcerting as you drive at highway speeds. I have taken the car to my Honda dealer and they say the steering needs a part that will not be available until April. I am concerned the car is not safe to drive.

I read about a recall for my vehicle's fuel pump and called Coggin Honda in St Augustine, Florida on Nov 1, 2024. They did not have the parts in to remedy the situation. Today (Nov 22, 2024) I received a notice from Honda (Corporate in Torrence, CA), that another recall has occurred. Once again, I called Honda near me, and once again, these parts are not in. I need to complain that these recalls are considered dangerous and Coggin Honda is not helping remedy the situations in a time manner. I want to go on record to record the dates I contacted Honda for these very important recalls.

In December 2023 I had a hit and run to my vehicle. I tried to get to the other lane for that car not to hit mine but my steering wheel froze. I’ve been taking a look at my car to see if it had any recalls and I’ve even did a vin check to my vehicle to verify what was going on with my car and nothing was apparently wrong with my car it also passed the state inspection a few weeks ago I just didn’t know what was wrong. I just saw the news right now of the sticky gear recall. Due to this I’ve been suffering a lot of hardships my back hurts a lot and I have to work less because of the pain.

We purchased the vehicle as demo from Honda dealer 2023. At about 9000 miles, noticed that while in a gradual curve on an interstate, there was a noticeable ‘stick and bump’ when making a minor steering correction. I likened it to pushing a straw through a lid – extra force needed then a sudden release. The force needed to overcome the stick was minor – only an ounce or so – but noticeable and disconcerting. I do not experience the issues at slower speeds nor in park and turning the steering wheel. I went to a local Honda dealer (not the dealer from whom we purchased the car) with a copy of t TSB 23-037 in hand. When I explained the issue to a Service Advisor, they had me drive with a tech in car. He said they had a stop sell order on many cars on their lot and parts were on backorder. I mentioned the sticky steering and he told me it just needs grease. Left car after drive and received text that car was ready. Asked if they were replacing gearbox and texted to me "Not replaced, there is an open recall on the vehicle having to do with insufficient grease in the steering gearbox from the factory. He performed the recall using a special tool to insert more grease" The recall does state there is a spring that should be replaced also. They did not mention that and Im concerned the tech told me the solution while in the car with me before diagnosing the issue I was having. My concern is the wheel 'breaking' left of right in and out of a turn at high speeds with winter approaching.

Sticky steering at high speeds. Took to Honda dealer but they didn’t notice it. I notice it every time driving. Worried this could lead to steering failure

At speeds of approx 40mph and up I am experiencing "sticking/resistance" in the steering. This is requiring me to make extra effort to correct and in some cases causes me to "oversteer" to correct the issue. It's almost like LKAS has taken over but LKAS is off. Also, since purchasing the vehicle new an LKAS warning light randomly appears when backing up the vehicle that tells me to "see dealer". Vehicle currently has 20,000 miles but this issue has been happening since approx 7,000 miles. I did take the vehicle into my local dealership to diagnose and they could not replicate the problem. I now see there are many complaints about the same issue with other 2023 CRV owners.

The steering on my 2023 Honda Crv-ex has started sticking and is causing over steering when you try to gently shift to the right or left. The feeling is as if the steering wheel is stuck in position and you have to push slightly harder to get past the "catch". This has caused me to almost run off the road and also get too close to vehicles in the next lane as I am making minor adjustments within my lane. It feels as if you are about to lose control and then suddenly the steering wheel makes a tiny jerk and you can turn.

March 2024 - Brought vehicle to local Honda dealership, car is diagnosed with a power steering column issue that is affecting tons of Honda models 2022-2024 across the U.S. This issue was not a recall at the time. Estimated 6 months for the part to come in, I open a case with Honda corporate. Since, dealer has refused to do the work on my car, despite it being under warranty. Dealer refuses to communicate with me. This issue has now been made a recall and Honda has confirmed my VIN is affected (worm wheel). New Honda dealership is not taking appointments to provide recall services, they will "call us when parts come in" and are not taking any information about the customer, so how can they call? Said it could be months before the part comes in. I have not been provided a loaner or any productive assistance. This is a 2023 CRV with less than 30k miles and I cannot drive it safely.

While driving the steering became very "tuggy". There was nothing smooth about maneuvering the vehicle. You could steer with little effort, then for no reason it would be real hard to turn, then turn quickly forcing a correction. It changed significantly from the way it was in the first two or three thousand miles. The dealer looked at it and said I could not drive it home. I received a loaner car from Honda, but they are now saying it may be September before I get it back. This is a real safety issue on my new car. It only has 8300 miles. I have nothing from the dealership, but it has been reported to Honda under case number 14550367.

The steering rack has to be replaced.Dealer ordered part. Part won’t be available to install until September .I have 8000 miles. Problem with steering is sticky steering. When at highway speeds the steering feels to stick and then turn . I also have another 2023 Crv hybrid sport that at 7000 miles the steering rack had to be replaced . It now has 15000miles.no problem yet since replacement.

Car exhibits temporary locking or sticking of the steering wheel while making normal minor in-lane adjustments. The persistent sticking issue is most pronounced at highway speeds (> 60 mph) and on straight roads. This is the same steering issue widely reported for the 22-23 Honda Civic, which has the same steering equipment as the 2023 CRVs. Any defect that interferes with steering should be considered a safety hazard.

The steering is sticking and feels loose. Sticking feels like a ratchet. We have only 6000 miles on our car. This issue started about 500 miles ago.

I was driving over a bridge and the steering seemed to lock in place. I could not move to the right or left, the steering wheel felt "stuck". I then proceeded to a rotary and was steering to the left but the car seemed to go to the right and would not allow me to continue to the left. Again the steering wheel felt stuck and was very difficult to move. I have had a few other incidents when I felt the car was moving to right or left making it difficult for me to steer. I had assumed it had to do with lane assist but I do not usually have this feature turned on. The vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, police or insurance. There was no warning lights. This issue began a few week ago, end of August 2024.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

At highway speeds the steering wheel almost feels like it locks in place and need to give it a tug to get it to move. The steering wheel does not feel fluid, more mechanical like gears are locking up. I am afraid it may completely lock up and I will not be able to control the vehicle.

Steering becomes "sticky" above 55 MPH. Unable to null out direction and car wants to drift left or right. When you correct the drift, steering wheel needs extra effort to stop drift and "jumps" the other direction. Dealer was notified approximately Dec 2023 with approximately 10,000 miles. At that time, we were informed 2 weeks or so as the Electric Steering needed to be replaced. Talked to dealer Apr 24 and was told no date available.

Sticky steering when driving at Hwy/Freeway speeds causing a jerking movement when correcting - feels like steering wheel does not move smoothly and could potentially get “stuck”.

The steering wheel seems to be sticking causing jerking feeling. When I adjust the wheel going down highway to stay in lane it feels like the steering wheel is jumping over a spoke. It is not right and feels unsafe. There was no accident. Started shortly after purchase in June 2023.
