“my steering wheel is locking up while driving at highway type speed. my car is shaking at highway speed as well. there has been recalls on these type of cars and Honda has them posted common issue part number is 53640-t22-305. I don't have an issue with the seat. my car is shaking randomly and no one knows why. I tryed tired and rims. well its a common issue with these cars.”
NHTSA complaint #11767253, filed 2026-09“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11538419, filed 2023-08“While driving I will experience extra resistance/sticking in the steering wheel. It's most noticeable on the interstate but I can experience it at any time. I have an appointment with the dealership tomorrow to look. I know there is an active recall for certain trim levels of my year/make/model for this exact issue, but my vehicle is not under the recall. This issue affects more vehicles and the recall needs to be expanded!”
NHTSA complaint #11557634, filed 2023-11“Steering wheel at speeds 40+ sticks. Makes it hard to make small movements and causes very abrupt changes and over corrections. Taking a tight turn it stuck and I almost hit a guard rail. I will be taking it in to the dealer in a few days.”
NHTSA complaint #11562512, filed 2023-12“After driving for about 20-30min, the steering were sticky and hard to adjust giving resistant, I see there is a recall on other Honda Civic Trim but not on the SI, I believe the SI Trim had the same issue.”
