I heard there is a recall on newer Honda Civics and I have noticed with my car a "sticky" feeling with the steering wheel. I thought it was just me and when I read the recall this morning I thought oh my gosh that's what my car does! My car would be available for inspection. My car has not been inspected for this issue. I have not had any warning lamps due to this issue.
The has been a recall regarding AC, which I have fixed. Months later and it-??s not working again. I-??ve also had steering issues. Don-??t know what it is exactly, but I-??ve drove this car for daily commute the past 2 and half years and all of a sudden feel the need to grip my steering wheel because I don-??t have full control of it like I used
My vehicle electronic power steering system failed at 35,000. When driving, it becomes extremely difficult to turn the vehicle. I was told this issue is common among 2017 Honda vehicles, though there are recalls for only 2017-2018 Honda Civic and CR-V vehicles, this model Honda Civic.
The current recall affecting 2022 to 2025 vehicles also affects my 2017 Honda Civic. This is also a common issue across Honda forums. My steering sticks, mostly when driving in a straight line or when at highway speeds on a slight left curve. This is especially unnerving when driving in rain and having to force the steering wheel to make slight steering adjustments. I paid to have my dealership perform a wheel alignment hoping this would correct the issue, but it did not help. I did not complain to the local dealership yet about this since the wheel alignment.
Steering feels sticky/stiff while driving on the highway in a straight line. The steering feels stuck to one side while making adjustments to either direction. This causes the car to "over steer" (not to be confused with actual oversteering the car) in the one direction. This is quite dangerous and you have to be on edge to drive on the highway.

Steering wheel gets sticky after driving over 50mph. There is already a recall on a certain 2017 Honda civic models but it doesn-??t cover my car but the steering wheel issue is still there. This is a safety issue.
While driving straight there is slippage in the steering that causes the driver to over compensate. Steering feels loose. I think I need to trade this vehicle in before something bad happens. Honda has very poor customer service. The dealerships are aweful and theives.
The steering starts to stick in place after driving for about 10-15 minutes. I was advised by my Honda dealership that the entire electronic power steering rack needs to be replaced at the cost of $3400
I-??m having a problem with my steering. It-??s like it-??s sticky and jerky feeling when driving, causing me to have to overcorrect left or right when making slight adjustments to center. Obviously more noticeable with highway driving. Took to Honda they diagnosed it as VSA Module, got it fixed still having the same issue with sticky steering. I don-??t feel safe driving my car
The steering is sticking and slipping when coming out of a turn. This usually occurs at speeds over 45 mph. When you start to come out of a turn, it-??s as if the wheel is momentarily stuck in the turn and then slips 2 to 3 degrees. If feels like the wheel is not responding, and it-??s quite frightening not knowing if the car is going to respond to the wheel. It-??s hard for the technicians to duplicate, because it does not happen every time (at least for now). This is a huge safety issue that Honda needs to repair. The part was quoted at $2000, and because there are so many vehicles affected, it is on -??unknown amount of time-?? back order. Please NHTSA do something about this.
The steering tends to stick when driving at highway speeds. This issue makes small steering movements jerky and causes over corrections. The dealership stated they were not able to duplicate it. This is a known issue for this generation.
While driving my 2017 Honda Civic, I notice that the steering wheel sticks while trying to keep the car centered. While driving, as the car needs to be slightly adjusted at the end range it sticks and I have to add a little force to get it to recorrect which causes a slight overcorrection. Honda says that it looks like I need a new rack and pinion system on my 2017 Honda with less than 60,000 miles. The sticking can be significant. Honda says while there are Recalls on steering components in the 2017 Honda Civic my vin number is not included. This has been an on-going issue for over six months.
The steering wheel is sticky. While making directional corrections while driving, especially at highway speeds, the stickiness of the steering wheel causes you to make jercky movements causing you to over correct your cars path, which causes you to make another correction oversteering in the opposite direction. This process continues indefinitely as you drive.
Steering becomes locked briefly at random times while driving. dealer unable to duplicate but problem is known on Civics 2016>2021 per dealers. no recall nor TSB from Honda. no concern of issue from Honda Tech when dealer contacts about issue. Owner required to pay 100% if wants repair, but replacement steering rack assembly is same as original so sticking problem can occur again. will NHTSA inquire about problem as potential safety concern ?
I am experiencing sticky steering wheel. This is a known issue in Honda vehicles. It causes over correcting to right or left at all speeds, but more prominent during highway driving. Many vehicles have been recalled but for some reason my VIn isn-??t listed but clearly has a defect in the steering.
