“When i am driving my 2023 Honda HRV my steering wheel becomes sticky and jerky. By being sticky i have to jerk the sterring wheel and that makes the vehilce swerve a bit. I have spoke to the delearship and was advised that they have not gotten any recalls for that issue.There was no messages and this started sometime in september of 2023. I see on the Honda HRV forum, that there are several others that are having this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11559316, filed 2023-12“We bought this 2023 HR-V on December 31, 2023 and it currently has 14,343 on the odometer. About 5,000 miles ago (roughly) we started noticing that the steering feels sticky even with the lane assist feature disabled. It is especially noticeable around corners, but it happens at slower speeds as well as faster speeds. It doesn't prevent us from turning the steering wheel and keeping the car centered in the lane, but it does take more effort than normal.”
NHTSA complaint #11568235, filed 2024-01“The steering wheel effectively sticks at any speed, especially at the home position. It takes a meaningful amount of force to move the steering wheel once stuck, creating a safety hazard. I noticed this while driving the car, who we bought for our son, creating even more of an issue for him being a new driver. It’s my understanding this is a known issue with the Civic and other models. It does need to be addressed before someone gets hurt.”
NHTSA complaint #11557984, filed 2023-12“The steering started sticking on sept. 1st. I was driving on croatan highway in obx nc I was surprised because it never did that before. My son in law is. Honda certified mechanic. He said it was sticking. But he could not fix it because Honda needed to fix it. I took it to Honda in va. For my oil and filter change and to check steering. The mechanic said it was sticking. And filmed the inspection. There was a recall Nov. 2024 on the steering. I took it in on Jan. 18 2024 I am sending info.”
NHTSA complaint #11764820, filed 2026-09“I have steering issues and it is worse in the colder weather. Like sticky steering. I noticed it soon after I bought the car and then it seemed to go away but now steering is weird all the time and I only have 9,000 miles on the car.”
