IllustrationWith longer drives the steering wheel sticks while trying to make minor corrections to maintain going straight. When it does turn to make a small correction it tends to drift right or left, without actually being able to make the car go straight. The stickiness of the steering makes center impossible.

Steering binds or sticks while steering wheel is on center requiring diligence to maintain the vehicle's course. The steering also will periodically act as if the road departure system is engaged even when that feature and lane assist are turned off. The vehicle will dart to the right, but not to the left. Vehicle front suspension was re-aligned, but problems still persists.

When I’m driving at highway speeds my steering wheel gets stuck and when this happens I’m over correcting my steering which is causing my car to swerve . I since took the vehicle to the dealership and had the steering rack and pinion replaced.They told me there has been several complaints of this happening and for now they do not have a updated parts as of yet . So they gave me a 12000 or 1 year warranty if this replacement part fails again.
I noticed all of the rear seats will show gray on the cluster indicating no occupants are in the seat, when a person is actually sitting there and is not buckled. Increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Once the rear seat occupant buckles (if they buckle) the seat belt, a green check light will appear on the screen alerting th…

I noticed all of the rear seats will show gray on the cluster indicating no occupants are in the seat, when a person is actually sitting there and is not buckled. Increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Once the rear seat occupant buckles (if they buckle) the seat belt, a green check light will appear on the screen alerting the driver, and after will display a red light indicating when that occupant has unbuckled. This was confirmed but could not be repaired by the Honda Service Department today, when I had the 2023-25 HYB ICM SW UPDATE SAFETY RECALL resolved.
When it is raining I cannot see using the backup camera. Rain drops on the camera lens make it so that I can only see light, i.e. the drops of rain obscure everything. Basically it is like not having a backup camera at all.
Steering is sticking. Difficult to keep straight and keep the vehicle tracking straight; difficult to add steering input from center. Sticks to move left and right to keep the vehicle centered in the lane.
As I am driving the steering becomes sticky and can be hard to turn the wheel. As a result my alignment is now off on my brand new accord and I have researched and it seems ro be a widespread issue. I would like for Honda to find a permanent solution so that we do not experience a sudden loss in steering or an issue where we ma…

As I am driving the steering becomes sticky and can be hard to turn the wheel. As a result my alignment is now off on my brand new accord and I have researched and it seems ro be a widespread issue. I would like for Honda to find a permanent solution so that we do not experience a sudden loss in steering or an issue where we may have to jerk the wheel especially on the expressway where it could potentially lead to a loss of control at high speeds.

Steering feels sticky at highway speeds. Noticeably different, irregular and inconsistent effort required to begin steering motion. May cause over correction due to inconsistent effort required to steer. Steering does not have the same sticky feeling at residential speeds.
