2023 Honda Civic SI

The steering wheel became sticky sometimes and hard to control and the steering wheel sometimes notches while driving on straight road at 60 mph make it hard to keep the car straight sometimes. The steering sometimes feel difficult to turn

I bought the vehicle. Everything was cool and I have this issue with the steering that is on recall. I contacted the Honda dealer. They said that I have to contact Canada because it was manufactured in Canada and give me a runaround. My VIN number shows no recalls but the year make a model is on recall in both US and Canada having an issue because the car is in our title vehicle which is reconstructed but everything I guess that was done to the vehicle without my knowledge before everything has been bought at the Honda dealer where I don’t know.

My steering wheel is locking up while driving at highway type speed. my car is shaking at highway speed as well. there has been recalls on these type of cars and Honda has them posted common issue part number is 53640-t22-305. I don't have an issue with the seat. my car is shaking randomly and no one knows why. I tryed tired and rims. well its a common issue with these cars.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic Si. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed on the same day the vehicle was purchased from the dealer, the contact noticed a strong oil odor inside the vehicle. The contact parked the vehicle and noticed oil leaking onto the ground and throughout the undercarriage. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that a technician had forgotten to install the oil drain plug; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

Rear shelf vibration/ rattle when listening to music at any volume. Sounds like a speaker is busted but isn’t. My 2023 Honda Civic SI is at the dealership now and I have informed them of this issue.

While driving I'm having difficulting staying in the center of my lane because my steering wheel is not allowing minor steering adjustments without sticking in place temporarily. I need to apply more pressure than expected to turn the wheel before it unsticks. My local Honda dealer recently replicated this behavior on a test drive and is recommending I replace my EPS gearbox, outlined in a service bulletin issued by Honda related to this symptom (Service Bulletin/Manufacturer communication: 23-037). Honda has agreed to pay 50% of the repair since I am out of warranty - my mileage on my vehicle is a little over 41K. I am asking Honda to pay for the full repair given the related EPS saftey recall they have issued, but they have not agreed to do this yet. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to experiencing these steering problems.

I bought my car brand new from Honda in 2023. When the car had about 20,000 miles on it I took it in to my dealer for a steering issue “sticky steering” they said they could not reproduce the issue. Fast forward about a year they finally came out with a recall for the issue. I took the car in for the recall the repaired it and it was fixed for about a year and now the issues with the steering have come back. The dealership told me they performed the recall again and it did not fix the issue this time and they said I need a new steering rack. Honda is not wanting to replace the steering rack they want me to pay part of the cost. How am I responsible for paying for repairs on something they have a recall on and they admitted that should not have to. But yet they are still wanting me to pay for 30% of the repair bill which is over $1,000.

The front drivers side seatbelts DO NOT retract, the just hang there, does not seem like a properly working seatbelt, if it’s not able to retract what’s to say it’s fully able to protect you in an accident, and the front drivers side seat is loose and creaks and squeaks

The rear windshield on my 2023 Honda Civic suddenly shattered so heavily that I could not see through it. Absolutely nothing hit it to cause the shatter. Soon after, the whole windshield broke and glass went all over the backseat of my car. This is a known issue with Honda. Corporate said it should be covered as I still have the 3yr/36k miles warranty in effect. The dealer says it's not covered. I am now fighting this with corporate. Dealer says that regardless, it will take 2-3 WEEKS for them to get a new windshield, as they are so back ordered. I wonder why? Even Consumer Reports states that Honda is fully aware of the issue on many models.

I am writing to bring to your attention a safety recall on my vehicle. On several occasions, I have visited the Lancaster Honda Dealership, located at 43244 Drivers Way, Lancaster, CA 93534, to request an appointment for the necessary repair. However, I was informed that, as I am not a customer of their dealership—meaning I did not purchase my vehicle there and have not had it serviced recently—they are unable to assist me. I was told that they only receive two repair kits per week, and these are prioritized for their customers. The last Honda dealership where I had my vehicle serviced is located in Long Beach, CA, approximately 90 miles away. Since I now reside in Lancaster, CA, I believe it is unreasonable to expect me to travel that distance to address this safety recall. I kindly request that this matter be investigated further to ensure proper resolution.

While driving, the steering wheel becomes stiff and sometimes even sticks, making it hard to turn or keep the car in control, especially at freeway speeds. It’s a struggle to keep the car straight, and this problem can happen at any time, which makes it really dangerous.

Steering sticks at any speed. Feels like the steering wheel gets stuck. When I put pressure to move the wheel I often put too much pressure causing me to turn the wheel too far.

The steering wheel keeps sticking while driving. This is specially dangerous while in a turn because you have to force steering wheel out of the turn and quickly correct the vehicle’s reaction as it becomes unstuck. This is a HUGE safety issue and is scary to drive like this.

At around 15K miles I started having an issue where my steering wheel would stick at an angle. Almost like it was stopped and shut off. As I would attempt to turn the wheel from left to right it would get semi stuck and you’d have to force it to break it free. This had happened numerous times and is an issue with the 11th gen si. The power steering rack and pinion were replaced under warranty after taking the car in multiple times and them claiming they never could replicate the issue. However, they replaced it with the same part so the issue will come back. During the time before replacement it got stuck and I had to pull hard to avoid hitting a car, barriers on freeway 99, flying off a cliff, and avoid driving off the road.

After 5000 miles, my steering became sticky when driving at highway speeds. the problem persists at lower speeds once it begins

Experiencing sticky steering . I feel a notch when turning left or right. The notch causes slight/minor resistance.

Steering is sticky. Resists smooth subtle movement of the steering wheel while driving.

When driving on the highway and speeds exceeding 40-45 mph, the steering wheel becomes, "sticky". The steering wheel sticks to one direction and will not move unless you forcefully turn the wheel. It takes more effort to make minor adjustments to the steering wheel than a traditional car with a fully working steering wheel. Its as if someone poured super glue all over the insides on the steering components and you have to fight it just to turn the steering wheel any amount.

Sticky steering at highway speeds. Minor steering adjustments at highway speeds get "stuck" for a second.

Steering gets unusually stiff driving in a straight line at highway speeds. minor adjustments are hard to make and is difficult to steer the vehicle correctly when the "stiff steering" happens. very dangerous when it happens. I think it must be a faulty electronic power steering issue.

STICKY FEELING IN STEERING WHEEL WHILE TURNING AT MODERATE SPEEDS, EXTRA EFFORT REQUIRED TO PULL STEERING WHEEL BACK TO CENTER. NO ERRORS OR WARNING LIGHTS. NOTICEABLY WORSE FEELING IN STEERING DURING LONG TRIPS, COLD TEMPS. SOME NOISE CAN BE HEARD WHEN TURNING WHEEL LOCK TO LOCK WHILE STATIONARY.

The problem occured on November 2023 last year. The steering has a sticky and notchy feeling, specially when changing lanes and when turning, the steering wheel gets stuck during a turn and you have to force it back to center. And that could put me and the others around me in serious danger, very huge risk to a car crash. I got it checked at the dealership last year, December 2023 and they confirmed the problem, but the part needed is currently on backorder and they dont have an ETA for it.

As I drive my Honda at regular city highway speeds of 60-65, the steering seems to veer off by itself. For example, if I am driving, the car will begin going left and I have to bring the steering wheel back to the middle to remain going straight. Same thing for veering to the right. I take extreme care of my car and this issue has recently started. I am about to hit 10,000 miles. It seems as if the steering is “sticky”. It is scary because it feels like the car is all over the road at times of highway driving.

When driving in a straight line or in turns where the steering wheel stays in the same fixed position for more than several seconds, the steering wheel sticks. It occurs when no corrections to steering are made for a while. It’s a light stick, but it’s very noticeable. When it happens, more than a normal/reasonable amount of pressure is needed to unstick the steering wheel when trying to change lanes or stay in lane. This has led to making over corrections. This problem seems to happen at various speeds, but I’ve found it most noticeable between 35-70 MPH. I believe this is a problem with the electric power steering system. The safety of other motorists and myself are put at risk because this problem occurs at a high rate of speed and leads to over-corrected steering. I am taking the car in for service on 01/25/2024 to see if they can replicate the issue. It has not been inspected yet. No warning lights or messages have appeared.

- Faulty steering rack. - Car feels uncontrollable at speeds anywhere above 20mph. The steering wheel sticks when turning and has to be forced to make adjustments or to bring the wheel back to center. Therefore un allowing me to make proper steering adjustments making the car feel jerky. -The problem has not been able to be reproduced by dealer. - It has been inspected by a dealer ship 2 times. - No warning lights.

After driving for 20-30 min, when I noticed the steering wheel is hard to adjust I am assume it is about all other complaint refer to "sticky steering" issue I see there are recall on the other Civic trim but not the SI trim, I believe the SI also have the same issue.

After driving for about 20-30min, the steering were sticky and hard to adjust giving resistant, I see there is a recall on other Honda Civic Trim but not on the SI, I believe the SI Trim had the same issue.

The power steering sometimes randomly fails and locks the wheel in position. It is similar to when the vehicle is stopped at a complete stop with the auto start/stop on and the car shuts off. It takes a significant amount of force to get the wheel to move. This is incredible dangerous on the freeway to have to attempt to fight the wheel to ensure you don’t hit the vehicle next to you.

When driving down the road at speeds above 40mph, the steering wheel “sticks” when attempting to make adjustments and when force is applied it jerks the steering wheel (and car) when it unsticks. Has happened multiple times but dealership was unable to replicate this. This has been happening intermittently since the odometer read approximately 2,500 miles. Car currently has 6,200 miles on it.

Incident occurs on most highway drives when lane assist is activated and then deactivated. Steering tends to “stick” and not allow smooth motion. Can also be felt at a complete stop from occasion.

The steering on the Honda Civic has issues after driving for 5K miles. The steering currently has a sticky/locking feeling when driving highway speeds (55+ mph) which feels unsafe to drive at high speed. The vehicle is currently at the local Honda dealership and was assessed that the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) gearbox requires replacement. There is currently a backorder on the EPS gearbox with an unknown ETA. My vehicle has currently been sitting at the local Honda dealership for over 5 weeks (since Nov 25, 2023).

Steering wheel at speeds 40+ sticks. Makes it hard to make small movements and causes very abrupt changes and over corrections. Taking a tight turn it stuck and I almost hit a guard rail. I will be taking it in to the dealer in a few days.

My civic Si is experiencing “sticky” steering while driving above 40 mph. Small adjustments in steering cannot be made. I need to jerk the steering wheel for it to adjust sometimes. Cannot make smooth adjustments when highway bends. There are no warning messages. This however is a well know issue happening on all 11th generation Honda civics. This is a safety issue because if you need to make minor adjustments in steering as the road bends, sometimes you have to jerk the steering wheel and it will over steer.

During drives recently, I have noticed that the steering wheel likes to "stick". What happens is that I will be driving in any conditions at any time and when the car starts drifting out of its lane and I go to correct myself, I notice that the steering wheel likes to have a tendency to be very hard to move for a quick moment then return to normal. This usually happens frequently during the drives where it is affected by this issue but some drives aren't affected by this issue at all. Even during a turn on a curvy road it was "sticking", and I decided to let go of the wheel to test it, and during the turn the wheel stuck in position during the turn for at least 10 seconds until it returned to normal. I feel that the steering wheel could get worse through wear and get stuck into position at any moment and not let me use it again without force which could endanger other drivers. No one at this time has inspected the vehicle but I have been thinking of bringing it to the dealer.

Dead center steering feels as if it sticks and extra force is needed when coming to a light bend on the road or just trying to stay center in a lane.

Most noticable at hiway speeds, steering sticks straight ahead and a few degrees right and left from straight ahead making it annoying to stay in lane without constant correction

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the power steering failed, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn in either direction. Additionally, while turning the steering wheel, the steering over corrected making it difficult to control the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering box was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 6,500.

"Steering wheel gets sticky above 40 mph. It hard to move the wheel on short notice. It also feels like a resistance on the steering." Staring at 40ish MPH, steering becomes sticky and slight corrections become difficult, at higher cruising speeds of 65+ this issue gets worse. Staying in lane can be difficult especially on lanes going from straight to curved. Sticky steering also fights lane assist which causes wheel to overcompensate automatically. Lane departure lost track of center and wouldn't let the driver steer easily. After fighting for control against the system

Investigation: EA23003 Momentary increase in steering effort or "sticky steering".

The steering is malfunctioning by getting stuck while driving. If the steering it straight the car refuses to turn without significant force causing a jerking. There seems to be a steering rack problem.

While driving I will experience extra resistance/sticking in the steering wheel. It's most noticeable on the interstate but I can experience it at any time. I have an appointment with the dealership tomorrow to look. I know there is an active recall for certain trim levels of my year/make/model for this exact issue, but my vehicle is not under the recall. This issue affects more vehicles and the recall needs to be expanded!

Steering will stick and turning wheel will cause overcorrection.

Steering wheel sticks on the left side especially bad on winding roads but does on straight always as well. You have to constantly move the steering wheel to the right & can physically feel the tug when as it unsticks. You feel it get stuck initially as well & it doesn’t let loose until you steer right. If you don’t then you can’t follow the left wind safely. On winding roads the car moves right of course but with lanes close it creates a very dangerous situation for the driver & other drivers. Who knows if it will not unstick sometime in the future. The car is at 15,000 miles & the issue has been going for about 500-750 miles. No warning lamps. Dealer not notified or inspected yet but will be soon.

The steering wheel when above 55 MPH feels sticky. It gets stuck in one position, so as a result you have to exert more pressure to move it, which results in over correction. This keeps on happening throughout the journey, and because you keep on correcting the wheel it feels as the the car is wavering in the lane. I've read online that there are a lot of owners complaining about this issue, some have even crashed. So, I am reporting this out of concern for everyone's safety. PS. Lane keep assist is turned off, but this problem still persists.

Steering gets very rough when driving for long periods of time/distances. steering tends to pull to the left, and constantly need micro adjustments to keep car going straight.

The steering wheel sticks while driving necessitating extra force to move it. It is an ongoing situation.

When driving at or above 40-50 mph, the steering of the vehicle gets "sticky" such that if a particular line, like a curve or bend in the road, is held for more than 1 or 2 seconds, the steering of the vehicle maintains that line and requires stronger force on the steering wheel to break its direction. The steering at all speeds can mimic this, making the steering feel segmented rather than a smooth rotation, but it is more significant at higher speeds. The problem is more noticeable in "sport" steering setting. Unsure if this is a power steering, suspension, or other kind of issue. I have not yet reported this to my car dealership, but it will be at my next service. There are no warnings on the dashboard regarding this issue.

Steering wheel is sticking and prefers to be at 12 o’clock. Feels like a slight grab and sudden release at times almost like the wheel is pulling away from the driver.

The car has 2200 miles on it and the steering started to "stick" while driving at highway speeds. The steering wheel will take extra effort when trying to make adjustments to stay in a lane and you need to apply extra pressure before it feels like it gets past a bump. This is very dangerous as slight direction changes require extra force, then that extra force is all of the sudden not needed, causing over steering. I have looked it up and realized this is a common issue with new civics, so want to make sure my case is documented as well.

My steering wheel started to twitch on November 2, 2023. My car has a little over 9,000 miles on it. The LKAS system is not activated when the twitch occurs. I toggled between the different driving modes (Individual, Sport, Normal). I experience the twitch in every mode. I have found it difficult to move the steering wheel from the center position. I have to fight resistance to make steering corrections to keep the car centered in my lane. I am concerned the car will steer itself and cause an accident. I made an appointment with the dealer on November 9, 2023 to troubleshoot the situation. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No faulty indications have been observed on the vehicle's instrument cluster.
