In owners’ own words
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseFiled with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the steering. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.
The steering wheel is sticking while driving. The Lane Keeping Assistance (LKA) systems is off. The steering wheel is slightly off at highway and local road speeds and feels like its moving on its own. It feels like the steering wheel is twitching and does not feel safe to drive.
Vehicle steering sticks and cause a momentary increase in steering effort that could potentially cause overcorrection and an increased risk of a crash. The sticking typically happens when the steering wheel is slightly turned to the left; the steering column and wheel automatically skip back to the right.
Best description: momentary increased steering effort. Similar to issues reported with the 2023 Civic and CR-V. Steering seems to drift/tug to one side or the other, then when correcting, it will over-correct. Dealership determined that the EPS rack is defective. Parts are on back order with unknown ETA
This isn't about a specific incident. For about four weeks, I've been having an issue with the steering on my 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid. When I get up to speed on interstates, the steering becomes sticky or clunky. After the car goes straight for a half mile or so, it will resist minor adjustments in steering.
The vehicle only has 6000 miles on it and suddenly for apparently no reason, the steering seems "sticky" while traveling on a straight path. Larger steering movements, such as turning left or right seems fine. It only "sticks" while traveling straight
