WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
On January 23, I first noticed a severe alignment problem, as the car felt unstable and was veering in one direction. I took the vehicle to Mavis Tire Shop, where an alignment was performed. Initially, the car felt fine, but the same issue reoccurred on February 6. I then took the vehicle to DCH Paramus Honda for a recall inspection and explained the alignment problem, mentioning my prior visit to Mavis. They informed me that Mavis did not perform the alignment correctly but assured me that everything was fixed. However, the alignment issue returned, and I brought the car back to DCH Paramus on March 12. Despite my frustration and concern, they performed another alignment and multi-point inspection at no charge. Yet, they inaccurately documented that the issue might be due to my driving habits and tints, which is not true. I don’t drive at night, nor do I drive recklessly or through potholes. On March 26, the alignment issue led to a minor accident. I attempted to stop near the highway divider as I felt the car veering uncontrollably, which caused damage to the side skirt. I had it repaired at an auto shop as I need the car for my daily 50-mile commute. On April 16, I spoke to a Honda representative and explained my ongoing safety concerns. Despite my detailed explanation, the representative's response made me feel undervalued as a customer. I was told I would be assigned a case manager, but as of today, May 27, I have not received any follow-up communication. This lack of response leads me to believe Honda is waiting for my warranty to expire, which is unacceptable.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
My local Honda dealer's service department inspected the vehicle after I complained about this ongoing steering issue: steering wheel randomly "sticks" when I turn it either to the right or left, by "degrees" or attempt to round a corner, at very low speed or at highway speeds, and even in reverse when parking. When this occurs, an audible clicking sound is produced that can be heard both in the car and when standing outside beside it. Honda Service was able to reproduce the problem and confirmed it. No warning messages or alarms are generated; no Lane Departure Warning or Lane Keeping Assistance messages are shown. This feels like resistance, a rigidity that might occur were the Lane Keeping Assistance function to stick. The driver reaction to try to "over" compensate wheel-turning to correct the rigid steering direction when the incidences are random is the dangerous circumstance I am trying to avoid. Anything random at high speed or in heavy traffic is extremely dangerous.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
My car is afflicted by a common steering issue experienced by other owners of 22-23 model year civics. The steering becomes “sticky” or “notchy” often at highways speeds. It is most noticeable when making small steering adjustments to stay in center of lane, and it takes more effort than normal which causes over correction and difficulty staying centered. It creates a more stressful drive in heavy traffic and creates a higher rate of driver fatigue on longer drives. On a long night drive, I have experienced enough fatigue from trying to maintain center of lane that I’ve needed to pullover and rest frequently. I have described the issue to one dealership but the problem is intermittent and they have not yet observed it or done more than a basic inspection. However, there is a wealth of anecdotal data online in owners forums of people who are experiencing this, with varying levels of success with getting their dealerships attention and meaningful action or resolution. Honda has released a service bulletin (23-037) which matches my issue, however people are now reporting that the issue continues even after getting a replacement EPS gear box. Therefore it is my opinion that this should be escalated to a recall, and that Honda take more action to resolve this known issue before it results in accidents (particularly through driver fatigue or inability to maintain center of lane accurately). I have also started to notice noise from my steering system when stopped or at low speeds, which makes me worry that the steering issue is worsening over time and will become an even more significant safety issue just outside of warranty (I’m only at 22,000 miles currently).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The steering wheel is very very hard to turn some times when making minors adjustments on the highway to keep in the centre of the lane; only happen on high speed, sometimes 50km/h-80km/h the issue occurs too. However, after a while, it’s even more noticeable and it happens more frequently and at low speed too. Right now, it happens very frequently around 50km/h-130km/h. I am very concerned regarding this, and I been to the dealership two times but they could not find out the issue. The third time I went to the dealership they finally figured it out and ordered parts in for me; nevertheless, it’s been one/two months but it’s still not here yet. But the issue is getting worse.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Steering wheel has some resistance when trying to correct while driving. Steering is 'sticky,' making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. 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. My concerns were confirmed by a mechanic shop in my area who acknowledged the steering issues and also other family members. During the last time making periodic revision on my Civic I mentioned that and no action had been taken by Honda dealer. As more miles I drive the issue grava-te, making har to keep the vehicle in the lane as above described.

AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
This was a single car incident (no other cars involved). The car was going on the 270 degree curved onramp to enter the highway. Lane Keep assist (LKAS) came on at or near the end of the onramp which caused the vehicle to head from the inside part of the lane/curve towards the left side of the onramp lane/curve and toward the left side retaining wall. Driver attempted to course correct but steering was not responsive in time and the car hit the left side wall completely disabling steering. The car came off the left wall and went across the onramp lane and struck the right side retaining wall before coming to a stop. Airbags did not deploy. Seatbelt may not have locked/tightened at impact with the wall either. LKAS initiated the move into the wall, the steering was stuck/non-responsive or perhaps slow to take driver input. Multiple previous reports to the dealer about steering being problematic were each unable to confirm a problem and this vehicle was not considered part of the existing potentially related recall. The LKAS is believed to have engaged with flashing warning just before crash. After the crash, the driver seatbelt "red X" shows on display, a LKAS error shows on display, and a supplemental restraint system error shows on the display.

The car came off the left wall and went across the onramp lane and struck the right side retaining wall before coming to a stop. Airbags did not deploy. Seatbelt may not have locked/tightened at impact with the wall either. LKAS initiated the move into the wall, the steering was stuck/non-responsive or perhaps slow to take driver input. Multiple previous reports to the dealer about steering being problematic were each unable to confirm a problem and this vehicle was not considered part of the existing potentially related recall. The LKAS is believed to have engaged with flashing warning just before crash. After the crash, the driver seatbelt "red X" shows on display, a LKAS error shows on display, and a supplemental restraint system error shows on the display.
Additional Notes:
This was a single car incident (no other cars involved). The car was going on the 270 degree curved onramp to enter the highway.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
When going straight for a period of time down the road at speeds above 40mph or so, and the needing to make a slight right or left adjustment to the steering, it feels as though steering sticks momentarily and requires more effort to make a steering adjustment. This is scary and not right. So far, the Honda dealership where I purchased the vehicle as a certified pre-owned car has said there is nothing wrong with the steering. This definitely seems like a safety issue and something Honda needs to issue a recall for. I don't feel the car is safe for my wife to drive or for my kids to ride in.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle has “sticky steering” at highway speeds. The steering wheel seems to get stuck on something and doesn’t move very smoothly. While it is manageable, it is a known issue that I’m not entirely sure Honda is addressing. I’d mentioned it to the dealer and they told me Honda knows it’s an issue but they don’t have a resolution so they should be putting out a bulletin saying it’s a normal part of the technology. However, it can be kind of scary at highway speeds. It doesn’t make me feel safe on the road at all times. I know there is a steering rack recall but they claim the two are not related. I have not taken my car to the dealer for them to reproduce the issue but in the civic community it is a big issue that is happening to many people. No warning lights or codes come up. It just doesn’t feel safe especially considering it happens at 60+ mph.

TIRES
Potential Consequences:
Tires had 17,000 miles on them and had to be “warrantied out” by the manufacturer. These tires had no grip and weren’t made for a car with sound dampening materials. I was told by the manufacturer that the reason the road noise got worse was the technologies were fighting against each other. More importantly, I experienced rapid wear. These are an 80,000 mile tire and with 17,000 miles on them I was already in the “consider replacing” time frame. Alignment was checked and good so it wasn’t due to the vehicle itself. Poor quality tire.
