STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I reported the issue of steering being tight and sticking less than a year ago which opened and investigation from NHTSA. I had my ps rack replaced under extended warranty and hoped issue was resolved yet less than a year later the same exact issue is present. Steering is sticking, tight, notchy, and stays stuck at speeds above 50-80mph primarily to the left side steering. I took car back to dealership that replaced and was diagnosed with yet again a bad PS rack gear box and my extended warranty must cover it again.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
On this 2022 Honda Civic Sport the steering will become “sticky” or “stiff” at highway speeds after driving the vehicle for 15-20 minutes. It will become very difficult to make small steering corrections, with more effort needed to turn the steering wheel, resulting in almost over corrections.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Steering is 'sticky,' difficult to make minor adjustments. Anytime I have to manipulate the steering wheel, it seems the force needed to free it is excessive. And if its bad enough, sometimes it will cause the car to turn too much due to the extra force used to free it. It's happening anytime around 40mph and greater.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I have had this car a little over a year ago. I put 30k miles on it. for the last couple of months I noticed a steering issue where the steering wheel doesn't want to move (feels sticky or stuck) when you make a minor adjustment. you must over-steer or nudge it to move from the 12 O'clock position. In fact sometimes the steering wheel gets stuck while driving on a curve that I don't even need to steer/hold it at all (the car follows the curve because the steering wheel is stuck at an angle). this issue occurs at random speeds. I have experienced it at 2 miles speed, at 30 miles, and as fast as at 60+ miles. My tires have been checked and they are in great shape. I have had all typical maintenance done on it. when the vehicle is near stop sometimes you can hear a clicking noise when you make MINOR adjustments to the steering wheel. I took my car to the dealership and the mechanic confirmed the steering issue by test driving it. they informed me that they need to speak with technicians from Honda itself. Later that day they told me it's a known issue and they will replace my steering gearbox (ESP something) at no cost to me but they also didn't have the parts so I must wait ("on national back order").

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering in my care has become "sticky" especially when you're driving over 45MPH. When you want to turn it slightly, you can't and you end up pulling and jerking the car left/right. Driving like this in the rain extremely scary and I'm concerned about overcorrecting and crashing my car going at high speeds. The steering is not smooth and just feels stuck all the time. I had to turn off lane departure because that makes it worse and I also can't use the steering assist feature since it just jerks the care left/right.

Potential Consequences:
The steering wheel is shifting from side to side while driving and it will get stuck at times and make you over correct. It is a safety hazard because you have to pull the steering wheel the opposite way to get it unstuck. I have not taken it to the dealer yet. There were no warnings. I began to notice right after hitting 32000 miles.

This vehicle has sticky steering and very scary to drive on the highway. We have taken it to the dealership and it has been there for over four months with no eta on the parts needed to fix our car. We are not getting any assistance from the dealership in getting this resolved. I know we are not the only ones as there are several complaints regarding the same issue all over the internet with the honda civic dating back to 2016 but no one is being informed when purchasing a vehicle and steering is a big safety issue. Seems like Honda is purposely putting people at risk, and doing nothing to resolve the issue.

Potential Consequences:
The steering feels very stiff. When going to up to highway speed, it feels as if it's slightly drifting either left or right in the lane I'm in. It's not centering and I have to make minor adjustments to keep it in the lane. It creates a very rugged driving experience as well as a dangerous situation. No warning signs or any of the sort appeared on the screen. The vehicle was no inspected by the dealership yet. I plan on taking it there in a few weeks.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
I owned 2 of these 2022 civics equipped with Honda's Collision mitigation braking technology. This is the year they removed the forward radar and relied only on a single camera unit. I was involved in a rear end collision where I was the rear ender even with the distance setting on the furthest setting. The accident was on the highway at about 40MPH. A vehicle Merging on to the highway stopped in front of me in my lane. I was using adaptive cruise control. I can tell you the responsive of this system had me worried from in several other situations I was in. Not only did the adaptive cruise fail detect and slow the vehicle based on the vehicle in front of me, the safety system did not make any attempt to slow the vehicle and no detection was made by the system until about .2 seconds (or about 6') prior to the actual impact. I investigated the safety systems logs with a Honda mechanic by connecting a device to the OBD2 port and downloading the logs to a computer to verify indeed it failed to properly detect any obstacle until it was far to late. This seems to be a concern other Honda drivers have expressed as well with this revision of their Collision mitigation braking system. I believe they market as if this and the adaptive cruise system are features you can rely on to keep you safe and while I understand it can not account for every situation this was a perfectly clear day in Arizona at about 5:30pm in moderate day light. I believe this system is dangerous and has serious flaws that do not properly detect vehicles in front of you in many situations is extremely slow to react in almost every situation. I attempted to upload these logs but you do not accept the file format they were exported in. If I can send these another way please let me know.
