UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
On a recent outing, I began to smell smoke and assumed it was from a nearby brush fire. In less than a minute after I first smelled smoke my vehicle began to shake. Suddenly my warning lights flashed and a puff of smoke came out from my hood near my windshield. I lost power in my vehicle as well as my steering and braking ability. Fortunately I was able to pull to the side of the road, at which point flames began to shoot out from the hood. The vehicle then became engulfed in flames and is now a total loss.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
About 6 months after I purchased this car in early 2022, the steering wheel began to get stuck when turning and curving with roadways. I took my car to the Honda dealership and was turned away several times due to them not knowing what was wrong. As of today, May 2023 the steering wheel getting stuck is worsening to the point where I am concerned for my safety.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
We bought my sona 2022 Honda Civic and 8 months later he started having sticky steering. He would try to turn and the sterring causes resistance and kicks back. This almost caused him to get into an accident. Honda delaership "repaired" the issue and 3 months later it started happening again while in the expressway! This time the car will be parked at the dealer for 3 months while we wait for the part that is backordered. This issue is very dangerous and its shocking that Honda is permitted to sell these deathtraps and no rtecall being issued. Please let me know what is being done about this issue as we are paying for a lease on a car that has been parked for a month at the dealer. Thank you

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering is 'sticky,' making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. It's progressively gotten worse and I find myself afraid to drive at high speeds. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel, it is like it has to 'break free' from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 40-45 mph, regardless of the driving mode.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I purchased a 2022 Honda Civic in the fall of 2021, brand new. After about 10K miles I noticed that the steering wheel was somewhat sticking and tough to turn at times. I brought this to the attention of my Honda dealer who advised that they could not get the vehicle to duplicate this. The problem continues to get worse as time goes on. At every oil change, I complain of the same thing, and get the same response. The problem is worse the longer I drive it during the day. I now have 43K miles on the vehicle and the problem is worse. I can turn the steering wheel to either side and the wheel will not return to a straight position without assisted effort.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering gets choppy and stuck when driving for long periods of time, at all speeds. Steering wheel will not return to its original spot when taking a corner and will stay in the same spot if you let go of the wheel. This is not an issue with any of the driver assist features, it is a mechanical issue. It makes the car hard to drive especially at higher speeds and is unsafe. Many people have this problem with this car, and the dealer has acknowledged the issue with other cars but has said they are working on a fix. There needs to be a recall because this is crazy and has been happening since I bought the car brand new.

Good day, while driving home from city of Philadelphia on May 1st 2023 at 8 pm on rout 95 north bound for 1&1/2 hours of stop and go at 10mph or less, once we passed the obstruction of traffic (placement of new over head sign), regaining speed limit the steering was very difficult stiff like having very little power steering. I am 59 and remember vehicles w/o power steering. Once off the highway on suburban streets the steering seemed to be pulling me off the road towards driver side and a warning would appear that I was departing lane when I reacted to pull towards middle of lane seemed like it was way to much and quickly finding my self in the next lane over, (very scary) thank god no body was in that lane. Happy to be home arms very tired. The next day I read over the owners manual for I do not drive the car often and followed the procedure to shut off driver assist. While driving after disabling driver assist the unit came back on by it's self with in ten minutes and would randomly tell me to brake. I did google this and apparently I am not the only one. Currently have an appointment with the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Steering System did not exhibit issues when first purchased, and now at 14,000 miles, we have begun experiencing "sticking" of the steering column. More info here: - Progressively worsening over the last two weeks. Is not associated with an accident, or other event. - Steering wheel / rack are "sticky" at any speed >20 mph, becoming excessive on the highway, where constant adjustments are necessary, as it does NOT want to stay true straight (not biased left or right) - Noise is audible while at idle and trying micro-adjustments left/right - When Lane Keep is turned on, the vehicle MOVES from the center of the lane, to bias greatly and ride the RIGHT line. If another vehicle is there, there would be contact. No fault codes, and the system remains on, even while riding the right line. - This is NOT SAFE, and more so on the highway. - There are NO fault codes being triggered. Honda does NOT have new steering rack parts available. They are backordered 6 months! There is no SERVICE bulletin available from Honda, yet, all the dealer technicians are saying they are seeing more of these all the time. The Dealer Technicians are advising that the car is NOT SAFE to drive, and advise not to drive it. Honda has no loaner vehicles available anymore. This is a HUGE issue, and needs to be addressed immediately.
