There are 2 recalls on this car. A gearbox and power steering rack, the dealer has not replaced either one of them. They greased the power steering rack, and that's it. When steering to the right or left, there's a very large grinding sound and they are stating that it did not come from a power steering rack, faulty, they didn't even check the power steering rack or the gearbox, all they did was grease the power steering rack. I want this remedied, my daughter drives this car and there's something going on with the power steering rack, and it is starting to affect other issues in the car, tie rods, bearings etc and that's not fair. The manufacturer should be replacing these items. Steering components are a huge safety issue in this car and the manufacturer at the dealership will not replace these items.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN SEPT 2024 THROUGH CARVANA RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED THE STEERING WAS STICKY SO I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN JAN 2025 AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG W/ MY STEERING THAT IT WOULD KIND OF STICK WHEN TURNING HE SAID IT WAS A RECALL AND THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR FREE SO THEY 'FIXED' IT AND AFTER I PICKED IT UP IT WAS STILL DOING IT, WELL NOW I BRING IT BACK AND THEY TELL ME I NEED A NEW STEERING RACK, ON A 2022 HONDA CIVIC SPORT, ARE YOU SERIOUS? AND THAT IT WILL COST $3700.00. SO THE DEALERSHIP DID CONFIRM I NEED A NEW STEERING RACK, THE STEERING ALWAYS STUCK SINCE I BOUGHT IT I DIDNT NOTICE IT WHEN I FIRST DROVE IT BECAUSE IT STARTS AFTER THE CAR IS WARMED UP LIKE THE FIRST 10 OR 15 MILES ITS OK THEN IT STARTS STICKING. I HAD JUST READ ON A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THAT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY FILED A COMPLAINT W/NHTSA AND YOU GUYS WERE DOING AN INVESTIGATION SO I THOUGHT I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT AS WELL

Found out the my car has a recall last december 2024. I drove to my dealership and told them about it. they said they dont have available parts for the recall in my car and the service advisor I talked to was told me that they have the parts for the recall but they prioritize the newer car so that they can sell it. then I called the manufacturer and let them know what the dealership was told me. 2 days later the manufacturer called me and said that they contacted my dealership and letting me know that they were be able to fix my car about the safety recall. but after I drove my car to my dealership and got it fixed and its all good as they said, but when I drove my car nothing change and its gets more difficult to control the steering wheel until now. most drivers thinks I'm drunk and keep their distance away from my car. then I brought my car back to the dealership and told them about it and they said they already done the repaired and got it fix but the repaired seems unsuccessful.

When driving at any speed above 30mph the steering wheel sticks. This is quite scary and has cause some very close calls when driving down the busy highway. I have taken it to the dealership several times and they have yet to fix this dangerous issue.

It’s sticking bad and clicking. Very dangerous feeling. Highway speeds I need to make strong corrections to unstick the steering wheel. It’s a constant fight to keep it in the lines.

I was in an accident on November 22, 2024 wherein my vehicle became difficult to control due to issues with steering. I was severely injured. I broke my left arm, had a right orbital floor fracture, and a severe concussion. I later learned my vehicle was under recall for issues related to a defect in the steering column of my vehicle. I was not able to get the vehicle repaired under the recall due to the accident ocurring prior to notice of the recall.

On [XXX] the steering system on my 2022 Honda Civic failed as I was exiting the the city's inner loop in downtown Rochester, NY. Simultaneously, the entire dash screen lit up. It was fortunately a momentary failure and I was able to avoid an accident. I had purchased the car 9 days before, on [XXX]. In conversation with the sales rep., I mentioned that the steering didn't feel quite right. He suggested that I just needed to become familiar with the newness of it. I accepted his explanation. I was paying for a Certified Pre-Owned Honda, and felt confident that the vehicle had been fully inspected for any steering issues. The day before the steering failure, I notified the same sales rep that the car's maintenance signal went on. He suggested it was indicating an oil change, which would have in itself been an issue since the car was not due for one. After notifying the sales rep and dealership manager of the steering failure, the manager arranged for delivery of a loaner car and had my vehicle returned to their service department. The following day, he relayed to me that the service tech did not find a problem and questioned if I could be mistaking the lane assist technology as a steering failure. I assured him that wasn't the case and, again, described the flash of light from the dash that accompanied the failure. By this time, I had discovered online the Honda recalls for steering failure including the 2022 Civic. I also read driver reports that described the lit-up dash. The manager claimed not to know of any recalls or problems but said he would pass the information on to the service tech. I asked if the service tech. would know if the previous owner had the car serviced for any recalls since I only had access to current recall status. I'm waiting to hear back from the manager.

Steering, Lane departure, Dec 17, 2024
We purchased our Honda in 2022. Within three months the lane departure system was failing. The wheel was jerky and at times difficult to correct. This occurred while staying in lane and not close to lines on the road. We took it in they identified the issue and replaced it. Within nine months it failed again. This time even worse. They identified it was the same issue. This was December of 2023. Our dealership advised it would be three months to get the necessary parts in. Three months passed. We called, part not in would be another three months. We called back December of 2024. Was advised Honda had canceled the part delivery. I assume due to recall. We would have never been notified had we not been persistent in calling. A letter or phone call from dealership of Honda would have been nice. The excuses were unacceptable. Our concerns were never addressed as the customer service in this issue was non-existing. Our vehicle is getting worse and still this part has not been replaced. Unexcusable. This car had 300 miles on it when purchased, brand new.
