   I bought the vehicle. Everything was cool and I have this issue with the steering that is on recall. I contacted the Honda dealer. They said that I have to contact Canada because it was manufactured in Canada and give me a runaround. My VIN number shows no recalls but the year make a model is on recall in both US and Canada having an issue because the car is in our title vehicle which is reconstructed but everything I guess that was done to the vehicle without my knowledge…

   While driving I'm having difficulting staying in the center of my lane because my steering wheel is not allowing minor steering adjustments without sticking in place temporarily. I need to apply more pressure than expected to turn the wheel before it unsticks. My local Honda dealer recently replicated this behavior on a test drive and is recommending I replace my EPS gearbox, outlined in a service bulletin issued by Honda related to this symptom (Service…

   I am writing to bring to your attention a safety recall on my vehicle. On several occasions, I have visited the Lancaster Honda Dealership, located at 43244 Drivers Way, Lancaster, CA 93534, to request an appointment for the necessary repair. However, I was informed that, as I am not a customer of their dealership—meaning I did not purchase my vehicle there and have not had it serviced recently—they are unable to assist me. I was told that they only receive two repair kits…

   While driving, the steering wheel becomes stiff and sometimes even sticks, making it hard to turn or keep the car in control, especially at freeway speeds. It’s a struggle to keep the car straight, and this problem can happen at any time, which makes it really dangerous.

   Steering sticks at any speed. Feels like the steering wheel gets stuck. When I put pressure to move the wheel I often put too much pressure causing me to turn the wheel too far.

   The steering wheel keeps sticking while driving. This is specially dangerous while in a turn because you have to force steering wheel out of the turn and quickly correct the vehicle’s reaction as it becomes unstuck. This is a HUGE safety issue and is scary to drive like this.

   At around 15K miles I started having an issue where my steering wheel would stick at an angle. Almost like it was stopped and shut off. As I would attempt to turn the wheel from left to right it would get semi stuck and you’d have to force it to break it free. This had happened numerous times and is an issue with the 11th gen si. The power steering rack and pinion were replaced under warranty after taking the car in multiple times and them claiming they never could replicate…

    When driving on the highway and speeds exceeding 40-45 mph, the steering wheel becomes, "sticky". The steering wheel sticks to one direction and will not move unless you forcefully turn the wheel. It takes more effort to make minor adjustments to the steering wheel than a traditional car with a fully working steering wheel. Its as if someone poured super glue all over the insides on the steering components and you have to fight it just to turn the steering wheel any amount.

    Steering gets unusually stiff driving in a straight line at highway speeds. minor adjustments are hard to make and is difficult to steer the vehicle correctly when the "stiff steering" happens. very dangerous when it happens. I think it must be a faulty electronic power steering issue.
