Owner report 11513489 · 2023-03-23 (March 23, 2023)

This issue occurs shortly after 5000 miles on my 2023 Honda Civic Si. The steering of the vehicle will become inconsistently firm, especially when making minor corrections at highway speeds. It almost feels as if the steering gets stuck, and only after applying more pressure in your steering direction does the stickiness give way, and normal steering feel resume. (until the next minor correction) The issue is intermittent and seems it most often presents itself after prolonged driving at highway speeds, but it has happened on short drives a…

Owner report 11562868 · 2023-12-31 (December 31, 2023)

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).

Owner report 11714647 · 2026-01-31 (January 31, 2026)

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 rep…

After driving at highway speeds for some time >10minutes, the steering wheel exhibits a "stickiness" when moving it out of straight ahead. With some extra pressure, the steering wheel then moves, jumping into a turned position, then moving smoothly through its motion. This effect continues for the entirety of the drive. This has been occurring since last fall, but seems to be getting worse over time.

The steering on the vehicle exhibits unusual resistance when on center above 40mph - sort of a 'sticking' feeling. To properly correct the vehicles lane position at Hwy speeds, driver needs both hands. To move the steering in these situations requires significantly more torque than normal, and when you have applied enough torque, the steering will suddenly move, making it easy to overcorrect.

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 ordere…

The engine in my Honda Civic Si failed prematurely at 28,677 miles while the vehicle was still within Honda’s 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Honda and the dealership denied warranty coverage based on a recorded engine overspeed event of 6,900 RPM that occurred earlier at 19,259 miles. The engine’s rev limiter is 6,600 RPM, meaning the recorded event exceeded the limiter by only 300 RPM. After this recorded event, the vehicle continued to operate normally for approximately 9,400 additional miles with no warning lights, drivability issu…

When traveling straight down the road, most noticeably at interstate speeds, the car will start to drift ever so slightly in one direction. You start adding steering angle to go straight and can feel the electric steering weight ramp up like it should. Then all of a sudden it gets light and corrects back to center, however now you are traveling in the direction the steering is pointing. The feeling is like driving on an extremely windy day where the driver has to fight the steering to keep the car going straight. However this happens at random …

I was commuting to work when my engine experienced catastrophic failure and was stuck on the interstate. Prior to this, the engine was making audible "ticking" sounds which are indicative of rod bearing failure. This happens from poorly lubricated parts and is a direct result of Honda of America requiring 0w-20 oil in its direct injected earth dreams motors. These earth dream engines have had a proven reputation for having oil dilution problems that cause catastrophic engine failure since 2016. Other subsidiaries of Honda around the world recom…

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 …

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 ordere…

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. Ho…

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 rep…

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…

Power steering is sticky at highway speeds resulting in a delayed wheel centering via suspension caster. Does not resist manual input, but makes the vehicle difficult to keep centered in lane due to constant driver inputs to overcome "sticking".

"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 fo…

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 w…

I was accelerating from a stop and noticed the wheel became way more stiff than usual. Usually it gets a little stiff if i approach redline, but this felt like the power steering was not working. This didn’t go away even after i upshifted and let the revs fall. The steering wheel was sticky, requiring more effort to move and harder to make fine adjustments.

The steering has become sticky, or notchy, after approximately 14000 miles. It has become difficult to make small adjustments, typically at highway speeds. With the engine shut off but power on the car to disengage the steering lock, the steering wheel clicks through what feels like gears.

I had taken it into the Honda Dealership it was purchased at and they said they could not locate the issue. The steering wheel is now having a sticky steering wheel while the vehicle is running and in motion. This creates a serious safety concern because I have to over correct steering to push the steering wheel past the point it is stuck at. It usually happens when driving between speeds of 30-60 MPH.

At high speeds the steering becomes stiff and sticks to one side. It's hard to make small adjustements and when you push too hard to "unstick" the steering wheel the car jerks left and right. This will become a much bigger issue with snowy roads and black ice.

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 betwee…
