The steering sticks in a center spot while driving. You have to really pull on steering wheel which causes it to oversteer and is very dangerous especially in curves. This happens everytime the car is driven on high speed about 50 miles per hour. This issues happened since 6 months ago, I noticed It gets more sticky. My car has 45,218 miles now. It shouldn't occur this issues at this mileage. I checked Honda recall has same issues of 2022~2023 Honda civic. I believed they used same steering rack with same issues.

Steering wheel feels 'notchy' and 'sticky' especially when in the 12 oclock position. Making minor corrections is difficult especially at highway speed.

Recall on fuel pump; multiple dealers do not have the replacement piece, they say “you can but don’t call other dealers.” I made an appointment over the phone to fix said recall, finally a dealer didn’t say they were out of the part. I show up. It’s a joke. No parts available. “We’ll send a notice in the mail” They aren’t “helpful” Honda people. They physically told me, you have to wait for a problem to happen with this recall and maybe we’ll prioritize you. Basically it’s a lottery if this will be fixed, and it’s only most likely if you get hurt. They’re waiting for accidents to happen to HAVE to fix the cars. Excuses do not save lives, taking cars with issues off the road does. It’s may 19th 2024 and this recall allegedly occurred 12/18/24

During warming months, especially when driving at highway speeds, the steering becomes "sticky" and creaks when turning the wheel left and right. This issue has been noted in the 11th generation civics with a recall issued, as well as 2016-2018 Civics. The 2019 also suffers from this same issue but no recall has been issued to date. This problem creates an unsafe driving environment where I feel like I could lose control of my vehicle on the highway. I have brought it to the attention of my local dealership many times with no resolve. They suggested an EPS steering rack placement with an out-of-warranty repair (Almost $3500). Communication with Corporate Honda found no sufficient proof there is an issue repairable due to manufacturer defects.
