After driving for approximately 30 minutes, steering becomes erratic. Wheel takes force to turn initially, causing over-correction when trying to drive straight. This problem is consistently reproducible. Car is with dealer now to fix.

When driving on highway today around 60 mph it felt like the steering was sticking on me. When i would try to correct my steering left or right it would feel stuck for a second then it would go. Seems very dangerous and needs to be a recall on this.

The steering started 'sticking' in place at interstate speeds. When driving it feels like there's a catch in the steering wheel when you try to maintain a lane and you have to turn the wheel to the right and then left to stay in a lane. You have to forcefully overcome this sticking resistance which causes the car to veer toward the other lane and this process is continually repeated as you drive. It is a huge safety…

When i pulled into my driveway last night after work, my car dash lit up with alerts, one after another. I tried turning the vehicle off and on, and the lights did not go away. They are still on today. They were emissions system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem, and hill start assist problem. I took a video of the…

After driving for 30+ minutes, i notice my steering wheel sticking in place, when i need to slightly move or turn the wheel i have to apply force and it almost causes me to over correct and veer into another lane. If gets worse to longer i drive and with the weight of passengers in the vehicle. I have read the same issue from others and they have said this is possibly a power steering issue.

I have a 2016 honda civic and about 4 months ago, while driving i noticed mostly on the interstate, that my steering wheel would get "sticky". I had taken my car in for an oil change and i addressed my concern to the mechanic. When i came back he told me him and all of his technicians drove the car and no one had a clue as to what i was talking about. Over time it has gotten worse. It happens after driving at…

I'm glad i found this thread i have a 2016 honda civic ex-t. After i've been driving 10 or 15 minutes, mostly on a highway, suddenly the car begins to veer slightly one way or another. When i go to correct, the steering wheel resists. It "sticks" until i apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts normal. Moments later however, it veers the opposite direction, and i am forced to…

While driving at highway speeds over 65mph, the steering gets "sticky" the driver has to apply extra force to move the steering wheel while diving straight. The minor steering corrections that we use to keep a car centered in a lane now become something that requires two hands because once you "break" the steering wheel free, the car over-corrects and you need both hands to keep the car in the lane you are driving…

When driving my car at 60 or 65mph on the highway after several minutes the steering wheel stays stuck and makes driving difficult causing strong pulls to the sides and causes insecurity and difficulty when driving long distances. I took it to the dealer in june of 2018 explaining the situation and a honda technician made the test with me next and it happened the same. He reported it and they only made one battery…

When im driving on the freeway around 60 to 75 mph, the steering wheel sticks. I need to jerk it back to position. It happens after driving for more than 30 mins. Already brought it back to the dealer 3 times in in the past 2 years but they cant seem to "replicate" the problem. I have noticed that it is getting worse. Car has 34000 miles on it.

The steering wheel sticks when driving on the highway. It feels like the steering wheel is catching when you are trying to keep the car in the lane. When it releases, you have to correct the steering quickly in order to stay in the lane. This a constant problem. There are no times when this does not happen. This is a huge safety risk especially when on a 2 lane highway and there is an oncoming car in the other lane.

Occasionally, while operating the vehicle, multiple warning indicators illuminated, indicating failures with the braking system, steering, and stability control. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it operated normally. The failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer…

The steering sticks when driving. When driving, even just on a straight path, you have make steering adjustments to keep the car in the lane. The steering will stick and when it "breaks loose,", the car overcompensates and jerks. This makes it difficult to keep the car in the lane and on the road. Especially when driving on an interstate requiring higher rates of speed. Vehicle has been to the dealership twice.…

Car was bought new. Steering has started sticking. When i am driving on interstate it feels like there's a catch in the steering wheel when you try to maintain lane and have to turn the wheel slightly to the right. You have to push through the "catch" feel which causes the car to jerk. It hasn't gotten to where it is continuously happening. On more curving roads the steering seems to catch, and stick, which causes…

I noticed that the steering wheel would start being sticky at highway speeds. . The power steering worked fine but for subtle movements, it would cause resistance. This was most frequent when driving over an hour at highway speeds.intermittently will notice that the wheel tends to stick after it's been straight for a couple seconds and i need to apply more force to make a small adjustment on the highway. I do not…

After the vehicle has been driven for 5+ minutes, the steering has a catch in it. Even going around turns, the steering wheel will stick in the position (i can take my hands off the wheel and it stays in the same turning position it's in) making me use small force to pull the steering wheel back to the straight position when it should turn back naturally. It does the same thing on straight roads like an interstate.…

Steering wheel sticks while driving, causing over compensation, has caused me to run off the road; driving straight, 60mph, interstate car fails to start after driving more than an hour and a half at highway speeds, beencto dealer for both of these issues and have had no resolution.

Steering wheel sticks while driving. When i adjust the wheel to maintain a straight path or taking a curve, the wheel sticks causing me to use more force than usual to turn the wheel. By using more force to break the 'wheel stick', the car tends to over compensate. You are forced to always have both hands on the wheel and it makes this car a very unenjoyable and unsafe experience to drive.
