Steering, Jul 29, 2025
The steering on my vehicle gets stuck while driving. There is resistance to turning the steering wheel. This is much worse when the AC is running. Honda looked at my car last year and said they did not detect the problem. I know it is real though as I have since seen that many 2022 CRVs have been recalled for this problem. My VIN however was not included so I guess safety is not a priority for Honda. Disappointing. I will not buy another car from Honda.
Steering, Jul 10, 2025
At approximately 37,000 miles, the steering wheel developed a sticking issue. After researching the issue, we learned that Honda issued a recall involving the steering rack. Somehow, our VIN is not part of the recall. It falls under the years, and models, of the recall. This is a safety issue, especially at highway speeds. It appears to be the exact same issue as those on the recall. We have not yet had it officially diagnosed ($200 cost) and, a replacement would be $3,000-$4,000. Car now has 42,000 miles.

This is a current recall for the 2023 CRV but my 2022 CRV is having the same issue of sticking when I turn left. This needs to be a recall issue.
Steering, Jun 30, 2025
After driving about 4 hours on the highway, I noticed my steering wheel started to stick if I turned it to the left at all, and there was a groaning sound coming from the wheel well. Steering issues could directly affect my safety and those around me on the road. I took it into Honda, and they said it was my steering gear box, and that it needed to be replaced. It seems there was a recall associated with Honda steering gear boxes in 2024, but they said my issue wasn’t related to that and they wouldn’t cover the cost. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

The recall for the Honda CRV is for 2023 thru 2025. 24-052. I am having the same "sticky" steering problems. The 2022 CRV's should be included in this recall.
Steering, Jun 19, 2025
Sticky steering with mild clicking noise. Started within past few weeks. While turning the wheel there is a slight resistance and the a release, which could get worse and potentially cause steering issue. Reported to local Honda Dealer and quoted replacement of rack and pinion for over $4,000. Repetitive issues but not consistent. Noted other Honda models and years with same issue already under recall.
Steering, Jun 11, 2025
The steering of the car sticks during continuous turns when the car has been driving for a significant amount of time (over 15 minutes). This problem started out as slight sticking when making large turns on the highway but has become increasingly more noticeable especially on lower speed roads and turns. My VIN number is not connected to a recall however this issue seems to be the same as a recall for Honda CR-Vs from 2022-2024. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealership or service center and no warning lamps are on in the car.

2022 Honda CR-V: When driving, either local speed or highway speed, the steering sticks on slight turns. At first, this was very subtle, but now is more prominent and just recently, I can hear a clicking sound or noise whenever I move my steering wheel. I am afraid that steering will fail or "stick" and not come out of it causing an accident. I am also concerned that I could overcorrect. I feel this is definitely a safety issue. I brought it to my dealer but they said it would be a $195 diagnostic charge. I see many complaints for this issue and wonder why Honda has not issued a recall. The dealership is aware of my concern and issue but I just fell out of warranty based on time as I have now owned the vehicle 3 years.

2022 Honda CR-V: When driving, especially highway speed, the steering sticks on slight turns. At first, this was very subtle, but now is more prominent and just recently, I can hear a clicking sound. Afraid that I am going to overcorrect on a highway. There are no warning lights. I do feel it is a safety issue. The dealer where I purchased has made an appointment and I can drop it off, but the first available date for them to look at it is 2 weeks. Because it is not safe to drive, I will have to get a rental which will cost me $900. The dealership is familiar with this issue but confirmed it is not a recall. However, I am under 36K miles.
Steering, May 31, 2025
Steering catches when turning like it gets stuck. I will have to apply extra pressure to come out of a turn. That is becoming dangerous because the extra pressure in opposite turning direction can cause over correcting too much too fast. I am only reporting because I see that 2022 CRVs were included in a steering recall. But not my VIN though it was a MY reported. I am handy DIY and replaced steering linkages, gearboxes before. This vehicle displays the symptom reported in the recall. I am wondering why HONDA didn't include ALL 2022 MY vehicles.
Steering, May 28, 2025
I am writing to formally report a concerning issue I’ve experienced with my vehicle's power steering system. The steering intermittently "sticks" or resists turning, requiring slight but deliberate manual force to free it while driving. This occurs unexpectedly and is especially noticeable when taking a slight curve at a lower-speed. The sticking sensation feels as if the steering wheel momentarily locks in place or becomes unusually resistant, which can compromise driver control and response time. While the resistance is not extreme, it is persistent and potentially hazardous, particularly in situations that require quick or precise steering input to avoid obstacles or maintain lane position. This issue raises significant safety concerns, and I believe it may indicate a defect in the power steering system—whether mechanical, electronic, or software-related. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter, as even minor delays or inconsistencies in steering performance could increase the risk of an accident. I have talked with a couple of local dealerships who acknowledge that they have seen this issue in the newer CR-Vs but no recalls have been issued. Vehicle Details: Make/Model: Honda CR-V Year: 2022 VIN: [XXX] Vehicle has never been involved in any wrecks or accidents. I would appreciate acknowledgment of this complaint and any information regarding known investigations, recalls, or technical service bulletins related to this issue. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Auto was purchased several months ago from CarMax. Initial test drive was fine. Started noticing steering was sticky and made a noise like a soft click as I turned the steering wheel. More of a jerk left or right. Seems to be increasing with a little difficulty as I turn the steering wheel. Hard to describe. Reminds me of a go cart I once drove. Not smooth as you would expect. I have not taken to a dealer for review. My concern is will the steering some how give way or not respond when I try to turn. The car is certainly available for someone to check out, drive and see exactly what I am describing. I have not taken to a dealer but will be glad to do so. After some review of recalls I did notice some vehicles have been recalled for a similar problem but did not see my vehicle on the list. Thanks for your time.

I started experiencing the 'sticky steering' issue about 3 weeks ago. I thought it could be low power steering fluid, and after a quick research I came to know that new CRVs use EPAS instead. After some research I found that 'sticky steering' is a known issue and there is a TSB and recall by honda. I checked the recall using my VIN, abd came to know that my CRV wasn't listead for that recall. I called honda customer service at 8009991009 and they confirned that the recall exists for 2022 Honda CRV but my vehicle is not included. I asked how they can exclude my vehicle when I am experiencing the same issue, I was advised that the recall is based on certain production and parts origin. I was advised to go to a honda dealership and pay out-of-pocket. I asked if they can add my VIN to the recall list and they said no. The 'sticky steering' issue persists when i am steering right at about 45 and up mph. This is a serious safety hazard and I would like my vehicles VIN added to the recall.

When making a left hand turn, the steering hangs up when you attempt to straighten out the wheel. You have to pull the wheel hard to the right to get it past its hang up spot. It seems to happen when the vehicle has been driven a distance and the components have gotten warm. The dealer couldn't replicate the problem (because it was not warmed.) No warnings given by the vehicle sensors. The 2023 & 2024 CRV's have been recalled for this issue. The 2022 model has not been included.
Steering, Lane departure, May 6, 2025
My vehicle has had a worsening issue with the steering wheel sticking, especially when driving on winding roads. It is most pronounced when the steering wheel is turned to the left. Instead of smoothly returning to center, the steering wheel sticks in the left position and has to be forced right to center or to turn back right. Obviously having steering that is stuck or that has to be forced can be dangerous, especially at highway speeds. It also sometimes makes a knocking sound when turned all the way to the left. I have not had the vehicle inspected yet, but I have contacted Honda and my local dealership about the issue and am able to bring the vehicle in for inspection. There have been no warning lamps, messages, or anything similar.

I am experiencing a sticky steering problem. I didn’t even realize there is recall for other Honda crv but it looks like 2022 is not even part of the recall but I am experiencing the exact same issue wheee steering is getting harder to do and the wheel seems to be stuck and unwilling to turn.

Driving at highway speed and steering was not normal.It made a clicking sound and steering was not smooth and hesitated. It continued at lesser speeds as well.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to function as intended. The contact stated that after making a turn, the steering wheel was stuck and was difficult to turn. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated. The contact stated that the dealer recalibrated the steering. The contact referenced an unknown recall repair however, the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

While driving around curves including exit and on-ramps the steering wheel will stick momentarily then release causing car to jerk to the outside of the curve. It feels very dangerous and it is hard to predict when it will happen.

Sticky power steering wheel and getting noise on turns. Took to the Honda Dealership but they were not able to repro it
Steering, Apr 7, 2025
This vehicle is affected by the same symptoms as the service bulletin 24-117 2023-2025 CRV with the "sticky steering" recall. After doing some homework, Honda clearly needs to expand the recall to include ALL affected vehicles, including 2019-2022 CRV. These are the EXACT sympoms my vehicle is experiencing and yet my VIN "isn't included". The problem has been happening since before the 23-25 model.
Steering, Mar 12, 2025
At about 32,000 miles after making a 5 hour drive I noticed that the steering wheel was starting to stick on long curves. The steering wheel would not return to neutral when released but would hold in its turned position until forced back. The problem was intermittent and first and then became consistent. As it became consistent it would stick in the same way but also started roughly kicking back while turning and making lots of clicking noises when turning. This put my safety at risk because it could lead to a crash if I was unable to turn the wheel or release the wheel when needed. This problem has been recalled in other CRVs just not the 2022 but it is clearly the same issue that is happening in the major recall of the other cars. I brought the car to my dealer and they are replacing the steering rack.
Steering, Feb 24, 2025
When driving above 40 mph, in conditions above 45 degrees f. The steering is jumpy or sticky. It takes a larger input to steer the car. The steering wheel will jump about an inch. There is no way to steer between the area it jumped over. It leads to swerving down the highway. I went to the dealer concerning recalls on all other years and models. They said I did not qualify due to my vin number not being recalled. I think the steering is a safety issue.
Steering, Suspension, Service brakes, Feb 18, 2025
While steering and turning, the wheel continuously feels sticky and there is a clicking and squeaking sound when I begin to turn the wheel. It is available to inspect. This vehicle does not feel safe. I have had to turn the wheel with more effort when changing lanes on the highway causing overcorrection and the brake also slipped when I was braking before turning to get onto a major street. I have taken it to Firestone to get the brakes checked and for routine oil maintenance and a leak in the windshield reservoir. After the oil change, a Firestone service tech recommended maintenance and repairs including an alignment, new brake pads and rotors, so I took it back to Enterprise, the car dealership where I bought this vehicle on December 5, 2024. Enterprise reluctantly took it back to their service department and checked the vehicle's steering and brakes, denying there was anything wrong with either. The manager at Enterprise stated that the sound I was hearing was normal wear and tear on the vehicle but I am still hearing the clicking and squeaking sound and when I turn the wheel it still feels sticky. There have been no warning lights flashing on the dash, but again, the wheel continuously feels sticky, and I have to overcorrect my turns. There is also a clicking and squeaking sound when I turn the wheel.
