Steering is sticking close to the neutral position. You have to overcome the tight spot to compensate for the drift in steering. This is especially dangerous at interstate speeds. I have read where the problem is a loose magnet in the electromechanical steering unit. Honda should recall these units and replace them since it is a safety hazard.

Civic EXL 1.5L

  • CVT transmission
  • 27,714 miles

After the car warms up about 30 miles on straight freeway driving, the steering sticks while trying to make small corrections as with any car while driving straight.

When there is a slight turn on the freeway it sticks and causes it to overcompensate. While sitting at a stop light it will just suddenly make a slight jerk.

Took to the dealer while under warranty at 27,000 miles they said is needed a front end alignment that seemed to fix he problem until recently at 47 k it has started again, now out of warranty sure I'm stuck with the cost to replace the steering system.

My first Honda and likely my last... Incidentally I have a 2006 Jetta TDI Limited with 303075 miles with electric steering and is still drives the way it did the day I bought it.
