Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Recently, I've observed that my steering wheel feels stiff when I reach speeds of 45 mph and higher, particularly noticeable on straightaways. The wheel doesn't respond smoothly, making corrections difficult and causing the vehicle to jerk abruptly. It started off gradually, but now has become an everyday occurrence. I lights or indications appear.”
NHTSA complaint #11571369, filed 2024-02“Every time I drive at highway speeds, my steering is noticeably “sticky.” It makes it difficult to make minor adjustments while on a curve. It has to “break free” in order to go back to straight. I took it into Honda for the recall and was told it wasn’t part of the recalled serial numbers and didn’t want to continue looking into it.”
NHTSA complaint #11587500, filed 2024-05“my steering wheel gets sticky at high speeds on turns and gets stuck, took it to dealer and they say it’s nothing to worry about but i almost hit a curve while turning on the freeway. and when i also reverse there’s a clicking sound everything and they don’t heard it. pleas fix this problem. i don’t feel safe in the vehicle anymore and it just sits in my garage now”
NHTSA complaint #11574051, filed 2024-02“The steering “sticks” or catches while driving. I have to constantly over correct steering to compensate and keep the car in the lane. This is especially troubling at highway speeds. I took the car to the dealer and they were able to reproduce the issue. They said there are faulty steering components and agreed to replace. Repairs have not been completed as of date.”
NHTSA complaint #11569740, filed 2024-02“Car is at about 14k miles. I noticed at high speeds (on the interstate highway) around 55-70 mph, the steering wheel starts to stick. When keeping my car inside the lanes it is very difficult to do so without accidentally jerking the steering wheel, because of it sticking. The steering wheel does not stick when moving at speeds slower than this.”
