IllustrationThe steering sticks. I have taken it to the dealer three times and they can’t find anything wrong. It happens a lot when I’m driving but they haven’t felt it on a short test drive. It’s happens frequently, just not enough for the dealer to notice.

After driving the car for around 15 minutes or so the steering becomes very stiff and takes extra effort to turn the wheel. It almost feels like it’s sticking and then releases when it gets to a certain point and then sticks again when the wheel is straightened. It seems to happen more when at speeds of 40mph and over. When the vehicle comes to a stop and you try turning the wheel it somewhat clicks and then becomes easy to turn again.
When driving above 40 mph and driving straight the steering wheel is sticky and feels like I'm constantly having to correct it slightly makes me feel like I'm swerving all the time
When driving at any speed, but particularly exceeding 40MPH, making minor adjustments to steering is sticky and requires excessive force to make the adjustment. When making the adjustment, the vehicle often makes an over-adjustment, and requires an over correction. This is particularly dangerous at highway speeds, where the prob…

When driving it’s as if the steering gets stuck. The vehicle will start to pull from the left to right as if bouncing from one side of the lane to the other.

When driving it’s as if the steering gets stuck. The vehicle will start to pull from the left to right as if bouncing from one side of the lane to the other. All lane keep assist and road departure features are turned off. Began around 2k miles and currently has 5500. Causing me to over correct and make jerky motions to keep in lane. Sometimes feels like it doesn’t want to correct at all. Noticing it at low and high speeds, constantly fighting a car that feels like it is in control.
Sticky steering
Steering wheel sticks when making small adjustments at highway speed, which can cause jerking/swerving. Occurs more often in colder weather and after car has been driven for a period of time. Does not happen consistently and was unable to replicate the issue for the dealership. No warning lights on dashboard.
After driving for a certain amount of time and above 35 mph, the steering wheel becomes sticky when trying to adjust direction of the car. For example if there is a bend on the highway, the steering wheel will be come stuck for a second before applying a little more force to turn the vehicle.
Recurring issue where the steering wheel is sticking/not turning smoothly. This feels as though the car may suddenly overcorrect (such as into oncoming traffic or off the road) when the wheel finally snaps into place as you turn it. It is scheduled to go to to the dealer. There are no warning lights or messages.
After driving for a few minutes, the steering wheel will require additional effort to steer or keep the car centered in the lane followed by a sudden return to the normal level of effort. This can cause a over correction.

1EA23003 · Momentary Increased Steering Effort
Opened Nov 29, 2023 · Closed Jan 28, 2025
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Steering
On November 29, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Engineering Analysis (EA23003) to assess allegations of momentary increase in steering effort in model years (MY) 2022-2023 Honda Civic, 2023MY Honda CR-V, and 2023MY Acura Integra vehicles (subject vehicles). The complaints received by ODI alleged that the subject vehicles experienced a momentary increase in required steering effort (described as “sticky steering”) occurring mostly at highway speeds after driving for an extended amount of time; these complaints could not be duplicated during dealer service technicians’ quick test drives. The complaints had been received over the previous two years with most occurring with low vehicle mileage. The steering gear of these vehicles is aided by an electrical power assist unit. This power assist unit inputs force on the steering rack via a worm gear and worm wheel assembly. During PE23005, Honda stated this condition of momentary increase in steering effort occurs due to two factors within this power assist unit. First, during manufacturing, the steering worm wheel goes through annealing and component conditioning processes. These processes cause internal stress and strain within the steering worm wheel. This strain is slowly released over the first few months of the vehicle life. Over time, the released strain causes deformation of the teeth on the worm wheel, causing the worm gear to catch on the worm wheel. This catching results in the driver’s momentary increased steering effort. Second, the manufacturing process did not guarantee consistent grease application and, therefore, some subject vehicles received insufficient grease which contributed to the momentary increase in steering effort. During EA23003, ODI further analyzed the potential safety related consequences of the momentary increase in steering effort. NHTSA’s Vehicle Research and Test Center (VRTC) duplicated the allegations of increased steering effort. In addition, VRTC discovered the steering worm wheel and worm gear tended to push grease out of the meshing area, resulting in large amounts of grease resting on top of the worm wheel. Information Request responses collected and reviewed by ODI showed Honda had also discovered this additional root cause during NHTSA’s EA. In addition, Honda discovered the preload of the worm wheel gear spring was set too high, increasing the gear slide load and resulting in higher friction and increased torque fluctuation when steering. The number of consumer complaints made to ODI continued to increase with the expansion of scope from the PE to the EA. Additionally, during EA23003, ODI received ten complaints alleging a crash, in addition to the 13 complaints ODI had received as of the time it opened EA23003. In total, 23 crashes have been reported to ODI due to this alleged defect. On October 3, 2024, Honda filed NHTSA Recall No. 24V-744 to address this defect. The recall will provide consumers with a new steering worm wheel gear spring with a decreased load. Additionally, dealerships will add additional grease and relocate any grease sitting on top of the worm wheel back into the meshing area. The scope of this recall includes all Honda vehicles that were manufactured with this specific improperly produced steering worm wheel and spring. In view of the recall action being taken by Honda, ODI is closing EA23003. NHTSA reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.
