2022 Honda Civic Si

I have just reported to my Honda svc center with an up coming appt. While on hwy or secondary roads any speed the steering wheel literally sticks/locks and will steer you right out of your lane if you don't force it back and it's noticeable force to unlock it. Occurs whether or not drivers assist is on and getting worse. Mine is very noticeable even on slower lower speed roads curves or straight aways.

The steering on my car was and is not acting correctly. I am unable to make micro adjustments when going faster than about 50 MPH. The steering wheel feels "sticky" when going strait so a micro adjustment when the road curves results in an overcorrection resulting in a jerky turn as opposed to a gradual turn. This has caused dangerous driving conditions for me, potentially putting my vehicle slightly into other lanes. The vehicle has been inspected by the Honda dealership but they will not make fixes as there is no recall. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Steering on this car will stick in position. Look it up online there are many many people describing it. It's like the steering racks are too tight or the electric boost isn't sensing properly. Requires more effort to initiate an input then it unsticks and you overcorrect. A few days ago I was in a 70mph turn and when I let up on the wheel the steering did not want to recenter. I think this is very dangerous. This is becoming a well described issue in the 2022 and 2023 Honda Civic. Dealerships are not aware of the issue. I know there was a recall on these cars for steering racks having not the proper travel limiters or such, this is a different issue. Will you please look into this and see if Honda can be made aware.

When driving perfectly straight and then having to make a slight adjustment the steering sticks a bit causing me to have to use more force which usually ends up with an over correction. I have also had the steering stick while going around a long bend and needed to use slight effort to get the wheel back to center, this is even more of an issue.

When driving, the steering wheel sticks and is not smooth. When heading in a forward direction at speed, usually higher speed, the steering feels stuck and requires more effort to break free to make small or large adjustments making the driving experience choppy and can be dangerous on curvy roads. Changing drive modes doesn’t fix/alleviate this issue. Also, when stopped at a stoplight, the steering rack makes a lot of noise to make micro adjustments after a drive longer than 30 mins, like a bushing is squeaking/creaking. This is an ongoing issue and is repeatable, not a single incodent.

While driving at speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour and while the wheel was centered, the steering would stick. This would make the minimum adjustment enough to send you from one side of the lane to the other. This made it very dangerous to drive on the highway because it was very difficult to stay in the lane while driving.. Despite all attempts to change this (turning off active safety features, turning on adaptive cruise control, changing to sport mode, etc.) the problem persisted. Even adaptive cruise control would noticeably over correct. This problem was present for three to four thousand miles and has gone away recently and thus is not currently able to be replicated. There were no warning lights, and the problem was not inspected or independently verified.
