    What sense does it make to issue recalls on cars and then there are no parts available to repair the vehicle. When you contact manufacture to get car repaired. There are not parts available nor can they tell you when they may even have. So okay I have an issue with my car but no idea when it can be repaired. This is 2nd recall for my car last one my steering rack had failed. That one too no one could tell me when part would even come. I had to wait 6 months to even get it…

    A few months ago this started. Power steering is sticky, at highway speeds the steering wheel can be turned at a 45 degree angle and stick. at one point i can take my hands off the wheel and it will not return to center at highway speeds. Starts sticking at 20+ MPH and requires small increments to unstick the steering wheel.

    I am also experiencing the issue described in NHTSA action number EA23003. The steering is "sticky" leading to ever-changing steering effort. At times, so much force has to be applied that overcorrection occurs. It decreases the safety margin when driving and applying corrective steering to prevent lane departure or collision. I have luckily not had any accident occur as of yet, but I can easily imagine it contributing to a collision if and when the margin for an accident is…

    Steering column clicking when turning and sticky steering at times. Safety put at risk because of the sticking steering column. Problem has been noted in civics of this year, but my car does not come up as needing any recall even though it’s affected by this problem. VIN is not registering in recall database.

    When driving at hwy/interstate speeds the cars steering wheel has a catch or stiff spot. This happens when the wheel stays in the same place for a second or two. This happens while driving straight and making micro corrections to keep the car in the lane. It also happens while driving into a curve it turns smoothly into the curve but once you hold the wheel in the curve for a second and then try straighten the wheel it hits the resistance. I have found I need to do 1 of 2…

    When driving at highway speeds the steering for the car gets slightly "sticky" requiring minor corrections to remain on the road/in the lane. To "un-stick" it, it typically requires a slight pressure to the left. This is obviously distracting and potentially unsafe. ** Please note ** when this occurs I am **not** driving with lane-keep assist, cruise control or any other assists active. I'm in the process of scheduling an appointment with the service center to look into this…

    Steering constantly sticks and is difficult to turn once car is warmed up. The main issue is highway driving as it can get stuck and takes a lot of effort to keep straight. Issue keeps progressing and dealership will not fix under warranty.

    While driving at highways speeds my steering seemed to be sticking while on left curves. The steering wheel would have to be forced out of the stuck position to be straightened back out.
