   The steering on is off even after they fixed the steering recall. The driving feel wobbly and my tires are wearing uneven. Since honda ‘took care’ of the recall they keep saying its fine but the steering feels loose and there is a definite wheel wobble. This is frustrating cause ive been complaining about this since 29k and it now has 38k with no fix and now i might need tires. All because honda doesn't want to take responsibility for their bad steering rack ans components.

   I took my 2024 Honda Civic Sport to my local Honda dealership due to concerning issues with the steering. After diagnosing the problem, the dealership determined that the car needed a full steering rack replacement. They contacted Honda, who agreed to cover part of the repair, but I was told I would have to pay $600 out-of-pocket. Given the newness of the vehicle, I believe this is a safety defect that should be fully covered under a recall, as I should not have to pay for…
