2016 Honda Civic Steering Problems

Sticky Steering causing over correction when attempting to drive straight. Driving and drifting to either left or right, then attempting to find center, steering wheel will feel sticky and over correct past center. This then makes the car drift to the other direction, then requiring another correcting back, which also over corrects/skips center.

Steering became "sticky" at highway driving speeds. This caused the driver to be unable to make small adjustments to steering at highway driving speeds. Clicking sound could be heard when making steering adjustments while driving.

My 2016 Honda Civic has a recurring safety-critical defect that began approximately 2–3 weeks after purchase. While turning (most often left turns), the vehicle suddenly shuts off without warning. When this occurs, the power steering assist locks, brake assist is lost, and the electrical system cuts off and then reboots.

My front driver side wheel completely detached from the vehicle’s body while I was driving home causing the left side of my car to collide with the street pavement and skid to a stop. The driver door airbags deployed, fluid leaked from under the vehicle and the bottom driver side of the car was damaged including the back left wheel/tire.

*When driving my 2016 Honda Civic LX at any speed you can feel the steering wheel stick then gets loose. This has been happening since 2018. I thought it was an Alignment issue, so I had an alignment completed, then another alignment completed in March 2025.

While driving, the steering wheel occasionally starts to stick. There have been several instances where it became severely jammed while turning, making it extremely difficult to steer. On a few occasions, it nearly LED to a crash because the wheel locked up.

The steering has been sticking for quite some time in the "straight" or center position. One must provide excessive force to the steering wheel to get the car to alter direction left or right. The steering wheel will resists normal minor corrections to follow the road.

I would like to request a SAFETY INVESTIGATION on my 2016 Honda Civic - My steering wheel is sticking as I drive. I thought it needed an alignment and have taken it to get an alignment twice (7/29/2021 and 3/4/2025). However, it is still sticking to the point I am scared to drive it as it seems I may lose control of the steering wheel trying to keep it in the road.

The steering gets notchy when warm. The issue isn't as noticeable during colder month but when the weather warms it becomes very problematic. You have to fight the steering wheel back to center after moving left.

The steering feels like it's sticking slightly to the left of center, and I've been noticing it more as the weather gets warmer. It primarily occurs at slower speeds but becomes more pronounced at higher speeds. When making small adjustments while driving, the steering wheel doesn’t move smoothly and seems to stick.

Not sure what component is causing the issue but steering is sticky. For subtle movements or corrections there will be resistance. This is causing jerky movements while driving which could cause an accident in the future.

While driving the steering wheel becomes sticky. It is difficult to turn and requires varying levels of force, reducing accuracy and resulting in jerky movements, difficulty staying in the lines, and increasing risk of crash. No warning lights or errors are coming up for this issue.

When driving at highway speeds (generally around 50 to 80 MPH), the steering wheel has a "sticky" feeling when trying to maintain a straight line. Making minor adjustments with the steering wheel requires excessive force to correct minor lane adjustments.

Steering becomes noticeably "sticky" at highway speeds (50+). Steering wheel "sticks/freezes" near the center point and it takes some force to turn/unstick it ... then I am forced to over/re-correct the opposite direction making the car swerve right/left or vice versa.

I started having steering issues from the steering wheel being stiff and having to fight against it to keep the car in the lane of traffic. I took the car into the dealership, and the service writer stated he knew exactly what was wrong. He stated it could have gotten dangerous and could lead to a crash.

A notchy feel when you get at about 40 MPH or greater. Steering kind of gives a hesitation or resistance when trying to give minor corrections to the left or right. Very noticeable on at high way speeds when trying to stay within a lane along a straight away.

For a while now (months), we have noticed our 2016 Honda Civic has had a "sticky" (a click or jerk) feeling when handling the steering wheel, particularly while driving on the freeway, holding long turns, or when even reversing (from an angle) into a parking stall (for the parking, a click/pop is audibly heard).

Steering sticks at a certain point of turning which makes it difficult to maintain a straight path and has almost caused a collision due to the fact that you end up over correcting your current path so you may vere into the other lane.

Steering wheel is ongoing stiff and jerky when going above 45mph. It has been almost two years of dealing with it. We have tried troubleshooting but it seems to be a common issue as well as AC system keeps failing.

After driving for about 15-20 mins and driving at highway speeds, the steering becomes "sticky" to the point that gentle force meets resistance and more force has to be applied for correction. There is resistance to the wheel that has to be overcome. Standard steering controls.

The steering wheel, when turning either left or right, even slightly, gets stuck almost feels like it locks and when steering to opposite side, you need to tug/jerk the steering wheel to get it unstuck. When you jerk the wheel to get it unstuck, the car wants to veer sharply in the the direction being pulled.

My civic (2016) is having the same 'sticking steering wheel' issue as the later year cars that are currently being recalled. This is well documented in the Honda civic forums and YouTube videos. This can lead to a very serious accident as the car can be uncontrollable.

Steering wheel stocks after about 20 miles of highway driving. Very hard to maintain lane. Major safety issue.

Steering rack is faulty. Known issue on thousands of 2016 honda civics. Honda told me my battery dying and the sticky steering wheel is from a faulty steering rack and quoted me $4000 to fix it.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Steering wheel sticking at highway speeds when on a curved road or when changing lanes. Might be a loss of power steering.

Our vehicle has just over 60,000 miles and has developed a significant "sticking" in the steering. This starts at around 50 miles per hour and gets progressively worse as speed increases. It doesn't completely seize but requires significant pressure to break the sticking.

Steering wheel sticks and you are not able to change direction without using excessive force. This happens when driving at highway speeds and seems to be worse (more force needed to turn wheel) at higher temperatures, 80+. The sticking steering causes you to oversteer and may cause you to lose control of the vehicle and crash.

My car's steering has been sticky and catching. This often causes me to apply unnecessary pressure to correct the steering and could cause an accident. I had it verified at Honda of Murfreesboro that I need a new steering rack.

Car has an intermittent steering problem noticeable mostly at highway speeds. Its not constant, just shows up randomly. While driving straight ahead attempting to keep it going straight the steering wheel becomes sticky and jerky when you attempt to slightly adjust (turn left or right).

Steering wheel becomes stiff when driving at highway speeds, especially after the car has been operating for at least 20 minutes. The experience is similar to turning your steering wheel with the ignition off and no power assist.

When car is driven above 40 MPH the steering wheel sticks. Extra effort is required to maintain midline steering. Extra effort is required to break the persistent sticking pattern, which can cause loss of control.

At highway speeds the steering on the vehicle stiffens and requires the driver to steer right or left to break the resistance on the steering wheel. Steering continues to stiffen and the wheel does not loosen to maintain straight driving conditions unless driver breaks resistance continuously while driving.

Most noticeable when trying to stay straight in a lane on highway or interstate going 60-80 MPH. When trying to make minor adjustments left or right, the steering wheel will stick, causing it to jerk more in the direction I’m trying to steer, which causes slight over steering and having to correct back the other direction.

There is no EPS indicator light lit but there is a "sticking" of the steering when driving at highway speeds. When the steering wheel is in the 12 o'clock position you can feel unusual tension while just lane controlling and then the tension will give when you apply greater than normal force required to stay in lanes during normal travel.

The steering wheel sticks intermittently. About 50% of the time, when making minor inputs to maintain lane, the steering wheel will "resist" and require additional pressure. When additional pressure is applied the steering wheel suddenly "breaks free" and causes over-steering.

The Electronic Power Steering is failing and causing the vehicle to swerve, get stuck in one direction, and sway into other lanes almost striking other vehicles. The vehicle is a huge safety concern on the road. I Myself have had to roughly pull my steering before crashing into another vehicle.

My steering feels “sticky” at times. This seems to happen mostly when I’m going straight or on a long sweeping curve and I attempt to make minor steering adjustments. The wheel will slightly “stick” in response to those small inputs and then break loose resulting in over steering.

Steering sticks while driving and sometimes causes driver to overcorrect. This is dangerous and could lead to a major accident. This issue is happening to many civic owners and for some reason isn't being recalled.

After being on the road for 30-40 minutes the steering becomes jerky and sticky. Feels like the car is trying to over correct when it shouldn't. I have my car in the dealer since last week where the service guys drove my car and and felt the problem, they submitted a claim under my extended warranty and now the warranty guy can't find a problem with my car and denied my claim.

During a recent road trip we were driving on the freeway for extended periods. During this time, there were times when the steering became very difficult. This car has lane keep assist and other safety mechanisms, but those were turned off.

When driving on the highway at high speed (60 - 70 MPH) my steering began to "stick". It was difficult to make the normal small steering adjustments to the right or left that are needed on the highway to go straight and stay in your lane. The sticking required me to use more force, which makes it more difficult to stay in the lane and more likely to accidentally hit someone.

Steering binds forcing driver to exert extra force causing oversteer. A clunking noise can be heard coming from the steering rack when this happens. This was originally detected during a drive between houston and austin may 2019 and was noticeable only when driving longer distances and higher speeds, in particular on the highway.

After I drive for about 30 minutes the steering wheel feels like it has a catch in it. It mainly happens on the highway. When making minor movements trying to keep it in the lane it feels like it catches and I have to push through it, the car starts weaving a takes a few second to gain control of it.

I was driving my wife to her doctors appointment in melbourne florida. After 20 minutes at highway speeds 55-65 MPH I noticed the steering wheel seamed to be sticking in the neutral position.if I had to correct left or right I would have to use force and it would snap and jump about an inch causing me to weave into the next lane.

I have a 2016 honda civic. After 20 minutes driving on the highway, the steering wheel stiffens up a lot and the car starts drifting left or right. Therefore, I have to use excessive force to move the steering wheel in the opposite direction it is drifting in.

Steering is notchy and when I drive the car the steering is jittery, sticky and hard to move. It's very noticeable when driving in a straight line from speeds between 20-70 miles per hour. Also when the car is in park, when I try to slowly turn the steering wheel it will shake and stuffer.

Steering issue- once warmed up and at higher speeds (noticed on highway) car pull left and right. Must use force to correct merging of the car. Response time is low when you try to correct the car back into your lane.

I have a 2016 honda civic ex, I was on the road for about 30 minutes in motion driving straight when the steering became hard like it was sticking. I got on the interstate and accelerated the faster I got the worse it got.it's pulls me to the left and then to the right.

Was driving the car to an interview & I was probably a block from home. I was at a stop & when I began to accelerate & turn left the steering wheel locked mid drive & caused me to crash into a curb.

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.

Letter from congressman king on behalf of constituent re 2016 honda civic defective car. *ld the consumer stated the bluetooth would freeze during an incoming call. This can only be corrected by shutting the vehicle off.

When the adaptive cruise control (acc) and the vehicle lane keeping assist system (lkas) are engaged simultaneously, the vehicle will react unpredictably under certain conditions. The vehicle may brake suddenly, rapidly decelerate, and quickly depart the highway when approaching exit ramps. The situation occurs during daylight and nighttime hours with clean cameras and radar window.

Your steering wheel feels sticky or resistant when you try to make small adjustments, which can cause you to overcorrect and swerve more than intended. This makes the car harder to control smoothly, especially during normal driving.

Your steering wheel notches or sticks while driving on highways, requiring constant attention to keep the car on course. This problem is less noticeable during short trips around town, but it's distracting and dangerous at highway speeds. The issue may require inspection of the steering system components and potential adjustment or replacement of steering hardware.

Steering sticking while driving. Took it to the Honda dealer and was told that power steering failure is common on Civics. Cost around 4K.

Steering sticks at highway speeds, hard to maintain center of lane. Waiting to get pulled over for suspected drunk driving, which never am. Wife won't drive the car because of this issue.

Over the past year, the steering became increasingly stiff and difficult to ;control, particularly at higher speeds. When we took it to our local Honda dealership, we were told that this is a common (and expensive) problem with this year and model. They also said not to take it on long trips, as the steering could lock if turned hard.

Car suffers from sticky steering like the other newer civics and it is a very scary issue. My car does not drive straight and as it is getting hotter in Louisiana my car is acting up more. I am constantly swerving to keep it straight.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the electronic braking system, steering, alternator, check engine, and TPMS warning lights illuminated. After shifting into drive(D), the vehicle lost power steering functionality and became difficult to turn.

An internal steering rack failure is involuntarily interfering with the electronic power steering system making the steering sticking or notchy at speeds under 45 MPH. At highway speeds this same internal failure causes a prevalent and strong steering drift. Then upon correction to center the steering sticks and then releases to give back control.

I purchased a 2016 honda Civic brand new in 2016. This car has had multiple issues including AC problems and more recently a problem that causes the steering wheel to be sticking to a position after driving for a long distance (apparently worse on hot weather). I have brought this car multiple times to the dealership.

My vehicle, honda civic 2016, was parked in the parking lot. In the morning when I started the vehicle, it gave me errors in all systems: brake system error, power steering error, tire pressure error, etc. I could shift the gear, but steering wheel would not turn.

Stationary car completely shut down, would not start, battery check ok, could not take out of park, had to have it towed to shop and have tcm replaced and software updated- in motion -steering wheel slips and shakes as well - very disappointed in honda.

Steering is sticking when driven for while, making it very unsafe for myself and others and sometimes it sticks and the wheel has to be jerked back which could cause over correction.

Steering intermittently sticks making driving awkward and difficult to hold a straight line.

Steering can be "sticky" in warm weather, especially above 70 degrees. The issue is intermittent and almost disappears during colder weather, below 60 degrees. I have been noticing this issue for the last couple of years.

UNKNOWN - The steering wheel sticks in the center position when driving on the freeway or highway. When I go to adjust the wheel to correct my direction the wheel sticks and I have to turn harder and it results in an overcorrection and jerks the car. This seems to be a common problem and from what I have read online and it is either the EPS system or the clock spring in the steering wheel.

The entire steering rack has an issue especially when driving on the highway. To make slight adjustments and wide turns it feels like you have to turn out of a notch and can’t make any smooth minor adjustments. I took it to the dealership near me and they test drove it and confirmed there was a “notch” in the steering rack and the entire steering rack had to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, she became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring the steering wheel to be manually returned to center after completing a turn. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence.

I purchased my '16 civic in 2018. The following summer, I started to notice that the steering wheel would "stick" in straight or shallow turn positions, requiring excessive force to break free and start turning. This is especially noticeable during highway driving, when the sticking steering wheel results in minor corrections being impossible.

After about 30mins of driving car would start pulling to left even if the steering wheel was straight. When trying to correct it the steering wheel would feel stuck like to magnet and when it would release car would over correct to the right.

Sometimes when driving the steering wheel will tend to “jerk”, or appear “stuck” when trying to turn.

Purchased as certified used honda. I feel this VIN should be included in the recall for the same issue in other 2016 honda civic steering gear bax failure recalls and honda should have to rectify the failure. 1 year ago my car steering seemed to be sticking.

The steering is sticky and it is hard to keep the car in the lane requiring you to over correct. I have been told it is an issue with the steering rack and needs to be replaced. This repair is very expensive.

While driving on the freeway at approximately 70 MPH, maintaing speed and direction, not changing lanes I noticed that the steering becomes "sticky". This means that as I make very slight 1 to 2 degree maneuvers to maintain a straight path the steering is almost stuck and in order to make those slight maneuvers I have to use more force than should be necessary to keep the car on a straight course.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds during hot weather, the steering wheel felt sticky and failed to turn to the left or the right as intended. No warning light was illuminated.

Failed power steering gearbox. Rack and Pinion. Steering wheel gets stuck at center position when driving 4k+ repair quote

While driving my 2016 Honda Civic on the freeway, I consistently experience a sticky or notchy steering wheel—especially when making small adjustments near the center position. The steering resists input slightly, then suddenly gives way, making it difficult to make smooth lane corrections.

Steering rack is malfunctioning; I've taken my vehicle to different Honda dealerships and have paid for multiple diagnostics regarding the steering rack. The last time I took my vehicle to dealership was Wednesday July 16 2025 at 8:00 am Honda of Mishawaka, IN I told them the steering wheel was getting sticky and that it was affecting my alignment.

While driving my 2016 Honda Civic at highway speeds (typically 55–75 MPH), especially in warm or hot weather, I experience a significant issue with the steering system. The steering wheel becomes “sticky” or stiff and resists minor directional inputs. Instead of responding smoothly, the wheel feels like it is temporarily stuck in place and then jerks when force is applied to adjust the direction.

The steering wheels becomes stiff/sticky & notchy after driving for sometime. It is most prevalent at interstate speeds & ramps. It causes me to have to constantly overcorrect to stay in my line & often doesn't return to center.

The problem is with the steering. When driving in a straight line and just normal driving, correcting from left to right to keep the vehicle in the lane, when moving the steering wheel, it seems to be sticking, and it causes one to overcorrect, and then causes the car to sway in the lane, and it seems to do it more turning to the right then to the left.

Our steering has started to be “sticky” and needing over correction for over a year now. It is progressively getting more prominent and is worse when driving on the highway (causing swerving). There is currently a recall for Hondas with this problem, but only from 2022-2025.

I purchased my 2016 Honda Civic in 2018. Not too long afterward, I noticed the steering would occasionally stick in place when trying to turn it causing overcorrections in driving. Over time, the occurrences have dramatically increased, especially on the highway (dangerous).

I have had to replace my steering rack twice in eight months. The first replacement my tie rod had to be replaced twice as well. I see other Honda models have had this similar problem I think it’s time to include my model as well.

When driving on a straight road then having to slightly change course due to perhaps a slight bend in the road the steering wheel feels like it is sticking and takes a bit of force to straighten the wheel. I have had numerous alignments done per maintenance recommendations. It seems to happen more often when it is warm outside.

The steering wheel "sticks." When driving in a straight line or a wide turn angle (like a freeway exit), attempting to make small adjustments to maintain direction results in a jerking motion. The steering wheel feels stuck until it suddenly overcorrects.

When driving straight on the freeway small corrections to keep the car straight are resisted when I add force to the wheel. With increasing force the drag is overcome and the wheel will snap to a new position which may be too far the other way. This makes the steering kind of digital instead of analog.

Just within the last month the steering has been sticking when trying to maintain a straight line. When trying to stay straight there is resistance in the steering and suddenly the resistance stops, causing driver to over correct. Also if the car hits a bump or road irregularity while the steering is resisting movement, then the car wanders even further in lane.

Honda - In 2016 I purchased a new Honda Civic Tour model from a dealership and currently have 23000 miles (23K) recently the steering became a problem. I took it to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle and was advised that there was an issue known as "notching" where a gear component became defective. It was dangerous to drive and there was no options but to have it repaired.

When driving down the highway the steering sometimes sticks or locks slightly. This is mainly when driving straight and doing a slight turn or correction. Alignment and balance are fine on the car.

One year after buying my car I noticed the steering would stick in place when trying to turn it causing overcorrections in driving. At first this was occurring just occasionally. It got to the point where the sticking of the wheel was everytime I drove the car, making it dangerous to drive, especially on the highway.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that the steering wheel was inoperable. There was no warning light illuminated.

Electric Rack n Pinion had to be replaced due to it binding while driving greater than 40 MPH. Was a safety issue as the steering wound get 'stuck' trying to make adjustments to stay in the lane. Causing over steering.

Occasionally steering was sticking, mostly highway driving. Car drifted slightly to left.

I began to experience 'sticky steering' before reaching 90k miles on my vehicle. At its worst, the steering issue would cause the driver to overcorrect when attempting to overcome the notch in the steering while simply trying to stay in the center of a lane on the interstate.

Beginning in April 2024, I noticed that my steering wheel would catch slightly when I was driving straight ahead, so that I needed to overcorrect left and right, with resistance in the steering wheel (like it was moving between two notches). This would happen whenever I drove my car straight ahead.

At highway speeds or after driving longer distances there is an increased amount of effort needed to turn the steering wheel. When making slight adjustments the steering wheel “sticks” and then overcorrects sometimes causing my car to shift into the other lane. I have had several others drive my car and notice the same issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel malfunctioned and failed to immediately respond while turning the in either direction while attempting to switch lanes. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed a steering module software update, but the failure persisted.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. The contact indicated that the failure was intermittent.

While driving the steering wheel is sticking and have to jerk the steering wheel to prevent going into another lane. Contact Honda dealer ships and Honda corporate office and asked if there was a recall for this, they said not on my particular vehicle, but some of the Honda civics. There is no warnings, it just happens periodically.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, frequently becoming stuck in position, requiring that the steering wheel be manually returned to center. No warning lights were illuminated.

The steering wheel has a tendency to “catch” or "stick" at the center line when driving. To overcome this resistance, you have to apply extra pressure, which could lead to oversteering and the car swerving out of your intended direction of steering. This is a known problem, referred to as "sticky steering" in many online searches.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel seized. There were no warning lights illuminated.

power steering rack ( part # 53560-TBA-A01. Steering is sticking when on highway driving 55+ and hard to correct. Noone at dealership can duplicate issue, however my daughter and husband have also experienced sticky steering and hard to correct.

The steering is very sticky when driving at higher speeds on the highway. It seems to start after hot days or after 15 to 30 min. of driving.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and attempting to adjust the steering wheel, the steering wheel was sticking. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was test-driven, and the failure was replicated.

Sticky steering have to over correct and not really safe to drive. Went to the Honda dealership and they quotes me 3500 for repair but I have no warranty! It isn't safe for my kids and I to drive but it's my only transportation.

Steering becomes “sticky” intermittently. Steering wheel requires additional force beyond what is normal to change direction and turn wheels. Issue seems most prevalent at highway speeds when navigating bends in the road that require 10-20 degrees of steering deflection in either direction of center.

Power steering sticks making small lane maintaining adjustments difficult. Usually happens after the vehicle has been outside in warm weather. Often results in over-correcting, causing vehicle to veer too far within the lane resulting in another correction in the opposite direction.

The steering “locks”. To make a small steering adjustment, the car JERKS to the right. A “clicking” has also recently started at the same time of the steering and jerking motion of the car.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver. No warning lights were illuminated.

“Sticky steering” The steering wheel will “stick” while driving causing the driver to over compensate to “unstick” it. I have owned the vehicle since new from dealer and it has always been a problem to some degree. In the beginning it would happen very sporadically maybe 1 or 2 times a year for very short periods.

Sticky and jerky steering at all speeds requiring overcorrection left or right from center and left at about 10 o'clock. No warning lights on dashboard. Dealer confirmed symptoms and replaced steering rack assembly part #53650-TBC-A22.

The steering becomes sticky after driving for about 15 minutes or so and seems to occur more on warmer days (above 70F). this occurs both at highway speeds and also at lower speeds. For example when making a slight turn to the left or right the wheel will stick at that position and you will need to force the wheel to go back to center.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became firm, and was sticking while turning in direction. There was no warning light illuminated.

Power steering locks up a bit after driving for 20-30 mins. The steering is notchy and hard to turn the wheels. Dealership said the power steering assembly needs replacement which is cover for 2017 and later.

My steering wheel sticks when the engine has been warmed up, requiring extra force to begin turning it. This can make small adjustments on the road difficult, and means I have to overcorrect all the time and have trouble staying in my lane. It happens after driving ~20 minutes on warm days (above 70 degrees).

As others have stated, steering becomes very sticky at highway speeds, especially on sweeping curves. When trying to straighten car back out, the steering sticks and requires extra pressure to get the steering wheel to turn. Once it comes free it causes the car to veer in the other direction.

At 63k miles the Honda Civic steering wheel started sticking /jerking when changing lanes on the interstate. The steering rack EPS needs to be replaced. Only happens when you are driving for over an hour.

Both steering and brake system warning lights came on and steering wheel locked in to place with no prior warning indications of power steering rack failure.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became firm, and was sticking while turning in either direction.

I have a 2016 Honda civic around 48,000-50,000.00 miles I have noticed that the steering in my vehicle gets sticky/stuck while driving. This usually occurs on the highway while I’m driving at higher speeds and when I’ve been on the road for about 30 minutes. While driving on the highway the steering wheel gets “stuck” towards the left and I have to pull it to correct this position.

Steering intermittently sticks when trying to make small adjustments to stay in lane. It has been doing this for the last couple years.

Steering- the Steering wheel jerks when I make incremental movements to the left or right. This only occurs when I'm driving on a freeway at or above 55mph. It does not occur on surface streets.

The steering wheel get stuck/ jerks in position and to correct stuck position/ jerks it causes you to correct your lane position. You feel out of control for a second or so. Purchased vehicle in 2019, in 2020/21, this happened and I took it into the dealership where we purchased the car and they did an alignment.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 40-60 MPH, the steering wheel became firm. There was no warning light illuminated.

The steering is sticking - the same as all these other reports I'm seeing below. It is worse in the afternoons (higher temperatures I guess) and definitely more noticeable at highway speeds. Took the car to the dealer and they said that even though my car only has 36k miles it needs a new (electric) rack & pinion system for $4000 !!

Steering wheel becomes stuck in a certain position at highway speeds after 20+ minutes of driving and it requires an unnatural amount of force to free it, thus resulting in a sudden jerking motion that makes driving highly unsafe.

When I’m driving the steering wheel gets stuck and the only way to get it unstuck is to pull hard enough to break the jam. It always gets stuck pulling to the left because every time I have to get it unstuck I have to pull to the right to break the jam.It happens every day and it’s really frustrating. Every time this happens is after 15-20 minutes driving.

When I am driving on the highway, my car steering will get "stuck" and I can't make adjustments to the wheel without jerking on it to get it unstuck. I am bringing the car in to get serviced again this week. The sticking results in unsafe travel on the road because it is difficult to maintain my lane.

The vehicle steering is sticky. When the vehicle is started, the steering is fine. However, after about 15 minutes of driving, the problem is most noticeable when trying to keep the car straight at around 40 MPH and higher.

Steering, same as other complaints. Intermittent sticking of the steering wheel. Constantly have to force steering wheel in order to maintain lane.

This car has given me the same repeating issues. Winter time the screen blinks blank. AC issues because of the design.

The steering wheel sticks constantly while driving the car. This is a major safety concern because many times it sticks hard enough to the point where you can over correct while trying to overcome the stuck position of the steering wheel. This can cause you to drive erratically trying to keep the car between the lanes.

Hello, I've had my 2016 Honda Civic LX for almost 4 years now and noticed within the first year that the steering seemed to start getting "sticky" once I reach speeds over 35 MPH. I brushed it off with the excuse that I live in a hot area, and maybe some things that I just don't understand are happening with the components. Yet, throughout the last year (55k-65k miles) it's becoming unbearable.

Steering "sticks" when making minor adjustments left or right to maintain direction, particularly on the highway. The force required to overcome the resistance causes it to overcorrect in the other direction. Wheels have recently been balanced and aligned by authorized Honda dealer.

The steering is "sticky" especically after running the car for 10 minutes or more. A slight movement of the steering wheel - feels like it gets stuck and have to put more effort moving the wheel. Then the wheel will let loose and over compensate the steering.

The steering wheel sometimes get "sticky" and hard to move. It is dangerous because sometimes you have to drag the steering wheel to get it unstuck. There have been multiple reports on the same issue with my car and newer models.

Highway driving in the mountains. When making minor, stay-in-my-lane corrections the steering stopped being smooth. It felt like it was binding or sticking and would require more pressure to change direction then it would pop to another sticky spot.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the steering wheel became firm and jerked. Additionally, while at a complete stop, the vehicle made an abnormal sound.

While operating the vehicle on the highway the steering was not smooth when starting to turn the wheel. There was a short hesitation or loss of power assistance while turning to follow the direction of the roadway. This occurrence was very brief while turning the steering wheel.

At highway speeds while trying to keep the vehicle straight and in my lane, the steering sticks while trying to make minor adjustments to stay in my lane. I have to apply more force to my steering and I end up overcorrecting and it becomes very hard to stay straight and in my lane. This is only at highway speeds, anywhere from 60-75 MPH, I have not noticed this happening at lower speeds.

Steering wheel has become stuck/jerky on the freeway. This causes me to swerve all over the road. The wheel sticks after it's been still for more than a couple seconds.

Every time my 2016 civic is driven for about 30 minutes straight above 60 MPH the steering starts to become stiff and jerky. It feels as if the steering wheel locks into place and you must pull on the steering wheel to get it out of position while driving causing serious danger to myself and those driving near me.

Driving on the highway I started to feel the steering stick while keeping the car centered in my lane. To release the steering stick issue a stronger input was needed by me to control the car. It seemed to me the steering sticking issue occurs only at highway speed.

1st Steering wheel pops on highway 65+MPH, I've taken my vehicle to dealership to get diagnosed supposedly couldn't find anything wrong, I've even taken a service rep for a drive to show them what is happening they noticed but service told him not to do anything!

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated while her husband was driving 60 MPH and turning the steering wheel to the right, the vehicle would drift to the left. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was drifting and failed to move as needed and continued to jerk. The contact forced the steering wheel into position however, the action would overcorrect the vehicle.

Car abruptly pulls to the passenger side and requires significant force to keep car centered on the road. The system then lets go and car overcorrects into incoming lane requiring quick reaction to prevent car from hitting oncoming vehicles. This issue occurs on nearly every use of the vehicle especially if driven more than 30 min.

Same problem others have reported. At highway speeds the steering will become hard to manage and if going into a curve very dangerous. When this happens have to pull over at next exit and shut car off.

At high speeds, sometimes my steering wheel has a tendency to “catch” at the center line when I attempt to keep the car straight. To overcome this resistance, I have to apply extra pressure, which often leads to over-steering. This feels very dangerous, and I do not let anyone drive my car for fear that they will overcompensate and swerve into other lanes or oncoming traffic.

The EPS Electronic Power Steering system is STICKING, while driving. It wants to hold the steering wheel, which is terrifying. When you muscle the steering wheel out of its “hold” it brings heightened risk of over-compensating and losing control of the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel momentarily seized; requiring additional force to steer the vehicle. The contact indicated that the failure would occur when turning in either direction.

My 2016 Honda Civic is having issues with the steering. When driving the car at 50 MPH or above, the steering wants to pull to the left and it feels sticky and hard to turn back to keep in the lane and you have to turn hard and feel you will over correct and run off road. The car has about 50,000 miles on it.

The steering wheel sticks in the center making it hard to make steering adjustments without overcorrecting and moving out of driving lanes. I am constantly veering from left to right when trying to steer car in a straight line. It is worse at higher speeds and very tiring to drive the car.

After approximately 20k miles, the steering began to "stick". When the issue occurs, it takes more force than usual to turn the wheel slightly, causing me to have to over-correct to center the car. The issue usual occurs during highway driving and after the outside temperature rises.

I drive a 2016 Honda Civic ex and the steering is sticky and jerky when driving. This doesn't seem very safe when driving especially at highway speeds when the steering sticks then jerks either to the left or right when trying to get the steering to unstick.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the steering wheel failed to respond immediately however, abruptly the steering wheel responded causing the vehicle to veer into the other lane. The contact stated that the failure was ongoing.

My 2016 Honda Civic has the following problem. The steering "sticks" and is very sensitive to turning when it "catches". It is getting worse and is way worse at interstate speeds.

Steering sticks. Takes additional force to push against the stiffness for just a minor adjustment. Wheels jerk towards that direction and you then have to steer in opposite direction to correct.

The steering "sticks" especially at high speeds which causes the car to swerve. It is a safety hazard as the steering is not smooth and it bumps the car towards other lanes. A mechanic said it could not be readily determined what the problem is and the dealer stated this is not covered by any warranty.

The 10th gen Honda civics are having steering problems related to eps. The steering will become stuck while driving, especially at speeds higher than 45 MPH. The steering becomes stiff and you must pull the wheel hard to gain control back and then the wheel goes right back to being stiff.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel had experienced minute levels of stiffness and stickiness when attempting to turn in either direction. The cause of the failure was not yet determined.

Around 40,000 miles, we first noticed a sort of bump or detent when trying to steer straight ahead at highway speeds. The car will drift to the right or left. When the driver attempts to steer back into the lane, resistance is felt at Top-Dead-Center, the demarc between left and right.

Steering gets "notchy" and acts out of sync. when at highway speeds, when trying to move left or right the steering does not respond correctly. You end up overcompensating for slight movements making it dangerous as you may veer too far.

The steering wheel on the 2016 Honda Civic tends to stick when the car in going in a straightforward motion at highway speeds. When a bend or curve in the road approaches, the steering wheel must be gently forced out of its central stuck position, causing a jerk in the movement of the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated while reversing, there was an abnormal noise coming from the steering wheel. In addition, the steering wheel was pulling to the right or left while the vehicle was driven straight.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH while remaining in a straight line, the contact noticed that the steering had seized, caused the contact to manually put more pressure to steer the vehicle in a straight line to avoid the vehicle going into the other lane.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds, the power steering started to fail. The steering wheel started to drift to the left or right and the steering wheel seized in that direction.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the steering wheel was making abnormal clicking sounds. Additionally, the steering wheel was stiff, and the vehicle was pull to the left while driving.

As has been noted by numerous complaints, the steering "sticks" requiring extra effort to control the vehicle. At times, and at least in my experience, it happens most often, as it did today, when entering, exiting or in a broad, sweeping curve to either the left or right. This isn't to say it doesn't also happen in other circumstances, but in the situation mentioned it happens most often.

When the car begins to drift and attempting to correct, the steering wheel "sticks" (resists). It doesn't lock up or not turn at all, but "sticks" until I apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects (usually over steers). This does not cause issues with any turning once the steering wheel is unstuck.

The steering wheel “catches” increasingly often. When minor course corrections are attempted while driving straight or on moderate curves, there is resistance to the correction until I apply enough force to break the resistance, causing the car to jerk to one side. The same thing happens when course-correcting to the other side.

After driving for over 20-30 minutes at highway speeds, the steering wheel sticks and causes me to have to jerk the wheel. Honda failed to produce vehicles that are meant to be safe on the highway and on several occasions this flaw has caused me to nearly drive into another vehicles lane because the steering wheel was stuck in one position.

This car has steering that I describe as stiff and jerky. Mostly noticed at speeds above 50mph. I’ve only owned the car for 2wks but I would say 60% of the time I’m driving, it’s like this.

Steering gets stiff and requires extreme force to make minor corrections. This causes over correction. I have had it to the dealer in the past and since they could not reproduce the problem they just dismissed me.

Steering wheel locked while driving. Has happened at different speeds including 70 MPH on Interstate 75 in Southern Florida. Took vehicle to dealer which was able to recreate the problem and stated a replacement of the steering rack system ($3800) was required.

My car’s steering has a problem since 3+ years. The steering veers on its own and moves to the other lane even when I am going straight. I have to bring it back to lane.

Traveling at highway speeds with the vehicle heading in a fairly straight trajectory, attempts to adjust the steering slightly in either direction (to correct for any drifting) are met with resistance in the form of the steering "sticking" to its' current position.

Steering sticks at 40 plus MPH. Overcompensation is sometimes required and makes it hard to sterer straight. I've noticed that 2017 and newer honda civices are being recalled but not the 2016's.

I bought my civic new on 2016. The car starts to have steering become jerky and tends to stick in the center position after driving on the highway more than 20 minutes on 03/15/2020. When that happens the car drifts to the left side and I have to use a extra force to pull it out of that sticking point back to the center steering .

Steering wheel sticks or catches when driving on the highway at speeds greater than 40 MPH. Steering wheel will not move without extra force from driver. Driver has to yank on the steering wheel to get the vehicle to move.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. The contact stated while turning the steering wheel in both direction, the steering wheel failed to return to center, without warning. The contact took the vehicle to norm reeves honda superstore port charlotte (1252 tamiami trail, port charlotte, fl 33953) where the vehicle was diagnosed with a sticky steering wheel.

Steering sticks after driving for 20-30mins. Usually wheels forward/straight. Tends to occur more often on highways, less often on curvy roads.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. The contact stated that after driving approximately 30 minutes, the steering wheel became stiff and jerky and did not operate as designed. The cause of the failure was not determined.

At highway speeds the steering wheel sticks so when you are trying to make small adjustments to keep the car centered within your lane you end up over correcting. When driving long distances it seems to get progressively worse.

Upon starting vehicle, multiple warning lights appeared on dashboard. Lights indicated brake system issue, power steering issue, hill start assist issue, ABS system issue. Power steering does not work.

When driving at speeds 40mph+ the steering wheel feels stuck. Making minor adjustments when the wheel is centered will have a resistance to them and sometimes makes a clicking sound like the steering is catching on something.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH and attempting to turn, the steering wheel ceased, causing the vehicle to over steer. There was no warning light illuminated.

I noticed that the steering wheel would start being sticky or knotchy. The electronic steering worked fine but for subtle movements you feel resistance. The resistance makes it difficult to change lanes, as it feels like a force is acting in opposite direction and it takes more strength then necessary to make subtle movements.

The steering wheel sticks when initially making minor turns or adjustments while driving causing jerking movements which magnifies at higher speeds causing the vehicle to swerve. This can be felt at all speeds including while still.

The stability braking system suddenly fail. Parking brake does not work. The brake warning lights on the dash are on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle loss power steering assist and became difficult to steer in either direction. The vehicle was taken to braman honda of palm beach located at 6200 lake worth rd, green acres, fl 33463, to be diagnosed.

2016 honda civic ex steering wheel sticky , stiff & jerky. My vehicle does not have lane keeping assist. The power steering works fine for large movements but for subtle movements, it would cause resistance and jerk when you add more force to turn.

The steering is sticking. When driving and attempting to make miniscule road adjustments, the steering sticks and to correct, the wheel makes a jerk which is very unsafe. This problem occurs all of the time, which includes any speed.

Steering becomes jerky and tends to stick after driving around for more than 20 minutes. Rather than a smooth turn of the steering wheel it requires a bit extra force to free up the steer wheel to make even minor adjustments.

As described by many other listed complaints, my car's steering sticks occasionally while operating at highway speeds. When it is stuck it requires extra effort to do minor adjustments to maintain a straight heading. The extra efforts causes the car to jerk left and right when making minor steering corrections.

After 30-60 minutes on a drive in 70+ degree weather the steering starts "sticking". It is not smooth and results in overcorrecting. Issue was brought to dealer attention last summer while under warranty and could not be found because the car was not driven long enough.

I brought my 2016 honda civic to darling' s honda in bangor, maine for steering problems. The steering sticks in one position and requires a little force to turn the steering wheel to correct the direction. The sticking causes the vehicle to jerk, and sticks again in the other position.

Steering becomes jerky and tends to stick after driving around for more than 20 minutes. Rather than a smooth turn of the steering wheel it requires a bit extra force to free up the steer wheel to make even minor adjustments.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. The contact stated the steering failed. The contact stated that extra effort was needed when turning the steering wheel in either direction.

Anything over 30 MPH, I can't keep the car driving in a straight line, it constantly drifts left and right. The power steering seems to "stick" and requires constant back and forth adjustment to control the car. Newnan ga honda dealership said the entire power steering rack will have to be replaces for $3300.

Steering the car is difficult. When the car drifts or you turn the car in either direction the steering wheel sticks. This causes you to over correct to break free the sticking sensation or causes you to drift excessively to either the left or right.

When making small adjustments keeping a straight trajectory above 55 MPH there is a "sticky point" in the steering. When lightly moving the wheel to the left or the right you encounter a point of resistance, steering through the resistance forces an over compensation making a zigzag style of highway driving.

The steering is very jerky and sometimes stick. It sticks and you have to snatch it in order for it to turn. This is very dangerous at high speeds on the highway.

Every single dashboard warning light and system control lights come on. Get message that system is initializing. Says problem with tire pressure system, stability, brake system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, hill start assist problem, etc.

After driving my 2016 civic (with less than 18k miles) on the highway for more than ~15 minutes, the steering became difficult to turn away from center. This sticky steering requires additional effort to turn the wheel from straight. This was very noticeable even when trying to keep the car in my lane.

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.

I bought the car new and at about 35500 miles the steering while driving at any speed, straight always or turns it keeps feeling like it is sticking. I have been to the dealership who had me pay for an alignment even though it was not pulling. It did not work after repeated attempts.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. While driving 45 MPH, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and seized. The contact called rick case honda (located at 15700 rick case honda way, davie, fl 33331, (954) 388-1035) and notified them of the failure.

So I just bought a 2016 honda civic lx 2.0 used today with 26,000 miles. The dealership was a little over an hour away and about 30 minutes into my drive home I noticed the steering felt like it was sticking on the highway at around 65mph. It felt notchy and sticky like I had to use a little force to start being able to steer again.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. While driving 65 MPH, the steering wheel failed and the contact had to use force to steer the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to the contact's home.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. While driving highway speeds, the vehicle jerked and hesitated. Occasionally, while operating the vehicle, multiple warning indicators illuminated, indicating failures with the braking system, steering, and stability control.

Steering wheel sticks when trying to make small adjustments. Must apply added pressure to get past the stick. Happens intermittently, especially when driven for longer times and when the weather is hot.

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.

Feels like the wheels are going to fall off I have taken it to several other mechanics and they say its throwing codes for electronic stability control electric power steering and the electric parking break but 3 dealerships say the vehicle is fine

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.

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.

Engine eaten by rats 2 times; engine harness destroyed first time; car hasn't been the same since this; found more rat droppings in the engine; car shakes so bad the rear view mirror is hard to see out of car is not stable on any road; alignment has been done 4 times on vehicle still not aligned; have taken to dealer multiple times they tell me its the road; car does not shift properly; when turn on car it shakes for about 5 minutes until warmed up.

On two occasions, my civic has "locked up". Upon starting the vehicle, all of the warning light illuminate and the car won't go into gear. I was stuck where I was and had to get the car moving so I forcefully engaged the vehicle by inserting the key into the shift knob area.

My steering wheel sticks. When I am driving straight while maintianing a straight path you have to make steering adjustments. It stick and then causes me to over compensate.

Upon startup vsa, TPMS, cmbs, brake warning illuminated at 4400 miles. Power steering failed. Delivered to dealer for repair.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. While driving 70 MPH, the vehicle became difficult to steer and voluntarily drifted into the other lanes. The contact had to use force to steer the vehicle.

Increased resistance making minor adjustments to the steering wheel in either direction when driving the highway at high speeds. I've seen every symptom of the Honda 'sticky steering' problem that only has a recall for 2022-2025 right now, but I know it's not a coincidence.

While driving straight, steering wheel sticks in the straight position. Moving the steering wheel slightly to left or right leads to over correction due to resistance.

There is a jerky/sticky issue with the steering while driving. The steering wheel seems to get stuck and I end up almost over correcting to get it to unstick. I’ve read multiple complaints of this issue and my car’s year is 2016 purchased in October 2025.

Steering is very stiff and fights you while trying to make minor corrections at highway speeds (45mph+). Not safe to drive the vehicle on road trips or for extended periods of time on the highway. As I understand it, the 11th generation civics have a recall on the same component.

2016 Honda Civic LX. Electronic power steering has sticky feeling when traveling at highway speeds, does not return to center. This leads to a danger situation as car becomes difficult to control when traveling at highway speeds.

Steering wheel seems to get stuck with minor corrections, and then “gives way” causing a serious over correction. This is mostly noticeable at high way speeds (45+) but can be felt even when the vehicle is stopped. Vehicle is Not lane assist equipped.

Driving on highway steering wheel is sticky requires extra effort to control steering has gotten worse since 2025

The steering wheel sticks when you try to turn it. The best example of what happens is when you're driving on a fairly straight road, you typically make small steering adustments to keep your car in it's lane. What happens is, when you try to turn the steering wheel it "sticks" and doesn't move and so you turn harder than what would be normal to turn it.

After driving for over 30 minutes, the steering becomes sticky. When I try to make minor corrections to stay in the lane, the steering gets stuck, requiring a little extra force, resulting in a slight over correction. At high speeds this slight over correction is very dangerous.

Civic EX 4D bought new in 2016, Steering wheel is “sticking” seems to be a common issue on 10th gen Civic’s but is only recalled on 11th generation models. When driving straight at highway speed, steering wheel does not want to stay in the middle. Car has been aligned (twice) and has 4 new tires and it seems the issue is even MORE felt.

The steering sticks when driving straight and needs additional force to correct causing an over correction. Vehicle can be difficult to keep in its lane.

When driving straight, the wheel gets stuck and requires some force to become unstuck which then causes the wheel to jerk in the direction you are turning. This results in over steering and is very dangerous. I have found many complaints about this online after looking for solutions.

I’m having a problem with my steering lately. It’s like it’s sticky and jerky feeling when driving, causing me to have to overcorrect left or right when making slight adjustments to center.This happens on long drives on the highway. Over correction on a 2 or 3 lane highway is not safe.

The steering wheel gets stuck in the center position. Cannot make minor steering changes with over correcting. You have to steer left/right back and forth so that the steering wheel does not get stuck.

Steering feels like it’s getting stuck when driving straight on the highway. The wheel almost fights you when you try to make a course correction. Vehicle feels unsafe to drive since you are constantly trying to keep the car straight

When driving at highway speeds the steering is sticky or notches feeling to leave center or return center. Less noticeable at lower speeds.

I am experiencing an issue where the steering wheel seems sticky and I have noticed from a google search that it affects vehicles designated from 2016-2022 Honda civics although my specific VIN doesn’t show as one being affected. It sounds like it most definitely should be. It’s only noticeable at speeds greater than 45 since you use very small amounts of steering wheel turn to make adjustments.

The steering wheel starts to get sticky on freeway after roughly AFTER 45 mins drive, that gives me harder to follow the lane or make a lane change either to the left or right side. My wife experiences that issue for years, she had not brought that into my attention until two weeks ago we took our 2016 Honda Civic for trip to California and I was a driver.

I have a 2016 Civic LX, and the steering is sticking when on center when the vehicle has been driving for a while/is warmed up. I have read multiple instances and reports of this issue and the EPS/rack being the culprit even when this car was released 10 years ago.

I have noticed my Honda civic 2016 steering wheel gets stickier while its on highway.

In warmer weather while driving at highway speeds the steering wheel sticks in place. It takes about 4 lbs of pressure to “break the wheel free” from this stuck position. It makes it extremely difficult to make minor steering adjustments while traveling.

Steering gets “sticky” on long mostly straight roads and resists small course corrections. This causes “jerky” steering corrections. This issue seems to be more prevalent in warm or hot conditions and occurs far less during colder times of the year.

Sticky steering when on center. Cannot make minor steering adjustments without overcorrecting left or right. This is an ongoing issue for the past few years.

Sticky steering wheel. Wheel will get stuck when making minor steering adjustments while driving. it’s sticky and jerky feeling when driving, causing to have to overcorrect left or right when making slight adjustments to center.

At highway speeds the steering wheel feels difficult to adjust at times, sticks, driving becomes a constant back and forth to overcome the sticky steering.

Sticky steering, generally after about 10 minutes of highway driving. Dangerous to make small changes as it takes more effort to move wheel then vehicle over-corrects due to steering input.

The steering sticks in the middle when driving on the expressway in warmer weather. When trying to make slight adjustments when driving, the steering wheel sticks around the 12 o'clock position. I have not noticed this problem unless the weather is warmer (55 degrees and up).

There is steering problem especially in high way. The steering is stiff and a little stuck. The car can not go in straight, either left or right, it will over correct.

Steering becomes sticky in the middle specifically when it is warm out or after the engine has been on for a while .this was not an issue in the winter. This becomes a safety issue due to trying to keep the car going straight on the interstate you end up having to overcorrect going back and forth left and right.

When driving straight at interstate speeds, there seems to be a catch in the steering. It is as if the steering does not want to turn and additional force has to be used to turn. This someone results in over correction of the steering.

When driving at highway speed the steering will get stiff and stick. This causes me to put more pressure on the wheel resulting in over correction. It has gotten to the point where it’s unsafe to drive.

Steering wheel seems to stick when car has been running for 30-40 miles. When going straight and making slight adjustments it sticks then jerks causing oversteering. Because of the mileage required to get this to occur the independent mechanic has been unable to replicate.

A sticky hard steering feeling from the steering wheel. Results in a labored, exausting feeling from fighting the steering wheel. Results in an over correction of steering at times.

Sticky steering when on center and in warmer weather. Cannot make minor steering adjustments without overcorrecting left or right. This is an ongoing issue for the past few years.

Steering wheels binds up on highway. If I slightly turn the wheel in any direction it gets stuck that way and I have to use a lot of force to get it to unbind. Causes uncontrollable steering adjustment very serious.

Experiencing the same sticky steering issue that a number of other customers have also reported. After driving the vehicle on the highway for 15+ minutes you will start to feel the steeling wheel stick at the center position when turning the wheel from the center position to the right. Have not had the vehicle inspected yet.

Anytime I drive on the highway, the steering wheel begins to stick, causing me to need more force to correct, which causes overcorrection. I then have to correct the overcorrection which causes an overcorrection in the other direction because the steering wheel does not move smoothly.

Steering issues. During highway speeds driver(s) has to keep adjusting steering to make the car drive straight.

Feels like steering wheel gets stuck when going highway speeds, takes more effort than usual to turn/ unlock to change lanes. Happens every time I drive 60+MPH

The steering sticks and causes me to overcorrect to stay in my lane. I see that later models of Honda have been recalled for the same issues as my car has been having for some time now. I feel it is dangerous.

Steering is stiff and Jerky when making slight corrections

The steering locks and sticks when driving especially on a highway. It appears the rack and pinion sticks

Steering sticks when driving on interstate. Causes over correction and potentially can cause lead to swerving and hitting someone

Steering is sticky or notchy when driving higher speeds. Feels like it overcorrects when trying to maintain center.

when long distance driving it has sticky steering which cause over correction left and right making it feel unsafe to drive

When driving on a straight road (highway, avenue, etc.) steering wheel tends to stay “sticky” at the 12 o clock position and takes some force to get it to move to make minor adjustments in steering. This makes it overcorrect and causes me to constantly gave to be adjusting to keep the car straight

* Having to adjust the wheel to maintain a straight path while driving * Steering resistance for minor adjustments while driving at highway speeds * The wheel sticks, causing the driver to need more force than usual to turn * When more force is applied to break the wheel free from its stick, the car may overcompensate in that direction * When turning, the wheel will maintain its position, not slide back to center, if hands are removed from the steering wheel

While driving to keep the car center the steering becomes sticky or notchy as if needing slightly extra force to microcorrect left or right to stay center. It results in slight overcorrection and some slight swaying, but feels as if control of the car is compromised, specifically at freeway speeds.

When driving the vehicles steering is not smooth. When making adjustments the steering is very jerky causing you to overcorrect. Searching the honda forums I'm finding lots of others reporting the same issue.

The steering is sticky. When driving the car the steering wheel will stick and the driver has to force the wheel. This causes a very scary driving experience.

While driving at highway speeds the steering can feel "sticky" where extra effort is required to make small adjustments to keep the car properly centered in the lane. It happens most frequently during warm weather and/or when driving for longer than 20-30 minutes. The effort required to compensate for the issue leads to a delay in the course correction and frequently over steering.

Steering wheel sticks noticeably above 40 miles per hour. Mostly sticks whenever the steering wheel is straight, but happens otherwise as well. Trying to make minor or major corrections results in needing to fight the steering wheel to do necessary movements.

Steering "sticks" when moving the wheel from center in order to make minor corrections at highway speeds. Overcoming the "stick" requires using additional force resulting in overcorrection and swerving. This is a serious safety concern.

Steering feels sticky when driving on highways. It required some force to move it slightly.

Steering becomes “sticky” when ambient temperature is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit or after driving from 30 minutes. Small adjustments in steering can not be done because steering sticks in position and causes more force to move it. This causes an over adjustment and swerving to keep the car in the lane.

While going down the highway the wheel will stick you have to push it to put back in line with the road. Kinda like sticky steering.

The steering becomes sticky or stuck in position at higher speeds causing me to have to jerk the wheel back and forth to keep the car in the lane. It's very unsafe at highway speeds.

Driving down the road while at higher speeds the steering wheel sticks in one spot for minor adjustments. This can cause over corrections on the drivers part and may cause a wreck involving other vehicles. It has been documented on many forums online, about others having problems with the steering with the 2016 Honda civics.

My steering wheel is very sticky. doesn't happen until I've been driving at highway speeds for at least 15 minutes. It's also worse when it's warmer.

-Steering seems to stick after long periods of highway driving, yes the car is available for inspection. -Need to overcorrect and at high speeds this could be dangerous. -No, I have taken it in to Honda for service and they cannot reproduce.

steering is sticking causing over correction when occurs. Most noticeable at highway speeds. Has been happening last 10,000 miles or 8 months.

I have noticed my steering wheel sticking consistently for the past year or so. I mostly notice this when driving on the highway at higher speeds. It requires a forceful tug in the right direction, which causes the car to jerk slightly.

When driving at high speeds on straight roads, the steering wheel “catches” or feels sticky when it hits the middle and makes it hard to keep the car straight and requires extra effort to turn it further. This can be quite dangerous.

When driving at highway speeds, the power steering seems to stick when the wheel has not been turned for a few seconds (as in driving on a straight away). When minor corrections are needed, the steering wheel sticks, which results in a slight over correction. The conditions under which this happens is: warm air temperature, driving time over 15 minutes, and driving at highway speed.

When driving freeway speeds, steering is very loose and difficult to control. When driving more than 30 minutes or more, the steering locks up and have to give it a jerk to gain control of steering. Mileage on 2016 Honda Civic is 58272 as of inspection by Honda on 1/17/24.

My 18 year old daughter's 2016 Honda Civic has been having problems with her steering wheel where while driving on the highway or driving straight for a while, the steering wheel gets stuck and in order to stop it from sticking, she would have to jerk the car a little bit which causes her to swerve and it is a big problem if it happens while there are other cars around her.

The steering wheel 'sticks' at highway speeds and makes it difficult to make minor adjustments. Have to apply more than normal force to turn the wheel and causes the car to overcompensate and jolt. Could be quite dangerous.

When driving for a while on the freeway, my steering wheel gets sticky causing me to oversteer to compensate. Which causes my car to swerve on the road.

Steering starts sticking every few seconds after about a 20 minute drive, and veering sideways. I lost a sideview mirror due to this and its very dangerous to drive. Probably has killed peapel already!!

Sticky steering wheel, feels notching while driving

The steering sticks around highway speeds which causes me to over correct. The vehicle feels unsafe to drive and I am being told it will cost close to $4,000.00 to replace the electronic steering rack.

I recently moved so I am traveling on the interstate more. In doing so, I've noticed after about 15-20 minutes at higher speeds, my steering wheel starts sticking. I have to fight to stay in my lane.

Steering is getting stuck while driving on highways and/or higher speeds. Appears to be a consistent issue with Honda civics complaints/issues after researching. Requires replacing EPS, approx $2-3k.

Steering has become sticky, especially when driving straight on a highway or at higher speeds. Extra force is needed to maintain position in lane and move the wheel. The pressure required to turn the wheel past the stuck position causes the driver to over correct excessively making it difficult to stay in the lane.

Steering wheel is quite hard to turn. Gets kind of stuck at certain points when I’m driving. Fluids all good.

Steering sticks making it difficult to change direction. It has a significant resistance when changing direction, this is troublesome especially at higher speeds. The consumer stated that the steering issue happens frequently and is not limited to just one occurrence.

After driving for over :30 minutes steering wheel sticks and is jerky to turn. It has a dead spot that requires a higher breakout force to get the wheel to turn , once wheel is turning there are normal steering forces required to continue the turn.

Sticki steering wheel on the freeway

My car has had a sticky steering wheel problem for over a year now. I’m at 75k miles, the problem started at least around 60k miles. The wheel feels heavy and I have to over correct due to that stickiness.

The incident started 2-3 years ago and has progressively gotten worse. When driving, for usually 20+ minutes, the steering wheel will become stiff. This is most noticeable when driving in straight lines or trying to keep the car in the lane on the highway.

Steering is sticking at hwy speeds. Over corrects hard to the left and/or right while I'm trying to keep the vehicle center. It is a continuous issue.

The steering wheel sticks around the center point when left still for a few seconds. This leads to resistance in the steering when trying to make adjustments after driving straight. I am open to having the issue inspected.

There is stickiness in the steering. When driving on the highway in a straight direction, there is an initial resistance or stickiness to turn the wheel from the neutral position.

Steering has become extremely sticky. Extra force must be taken to maintain position in lane. The pressure required to turn the wheel past the catchy position causes the vehicle to maneuver excessively making it difficult to remain in the proper lane.

When driving over 40 MPH the steering sticks constantly. It is difficult to control the car and I’m fearful of over correcting. I was originally told it needed an alignment, but the problem returned.

Just bought vehicle during march. Still Winter in Northern Michigan. And this month in April I've noticed with the warmer days the steering sticks directly dead center at highway speeds.

The power steering on the 2016 Honda Civic. While driving it is hard to gain control over the vehicle and the steering wheel tends to lock in place. It is UNKNOWN if the problem has been reproduced.

The investigation into the complaint that the Honda Civic steering becomes stiff at higher speeds and after driving for a while needs to include 2016 models. This has been noticeable on the highway and is becoming way more problematic as the car ages. I've noticed this for a while - maybe from the original purchase of the car.

Steering catches at highway speeds for a split second.

Steering system console. Remove and replace rack and pinion assembly

Slight momentary resistance to turning the wheel, usually only on long interstate drives

Steering wheel has some extra resistance (sticking, stiff and jerky) when making small corrections at any speeds, resulting in extra pressure being applied to break the resistance, resulting in sharp (hard) correction changes. When make small steering adjustments it has resistance, then suddenly becomes easy. This can cause oversteering when correcting.

Typically during highway driving, steering becomes extremely sticky and requires significant effort to make even slight adjustments to keep the car on the road and even forces over correction which has occurred on multiple occasions

Steering sticks when driving on the highway. When make small steering adjustments it has resistance, then suddenly becomes easy. This can cause oversteering when correcting.

At highway speeds when it is warm and the vehicle has been driven for 20-30 minutes the steering becomes sticky. It is most noticeable at freeway speed when attempting minor corrections to maintain good lane position. The steering wheel resists minor effort to turn and then breaks loose causing an over correction, potentially as far as into another lane.

Electric Power Steering after driving on hot days becomes resistant to turning the wheel at higher speeds. Requires about 5lbs of force to the wheel and then it gives way and causes a more abrupt turn than driver is attempting.

At highway speeds the car has problems with the steering sticking, and when it releases it jerks into the other lane . This has happened several times almost causing a wreck. I have reported it to Honda in the past and the technician could not find anything, or so they said

When traveling at highway speeds the steering wheel “catches” at center and feels almost stuck in position. This causes for over correction and an unsafe driving experience

I am not an alarmist. I am a retired Porsche mechanic (42 years) so I have a decent grasp of how a vehicle should perform. The steering on my Civic is very notchy.

Steering wheel has some extra resistance (sticking) when making small corrections at highway speeds, resulting in extra pressure being applied to break the resistance, resulting in sharp (hard) correction changes.

2016 Honda Civic LX with 47K miles. With engine warm and driving at highway speed, steering wheel gets stuck/sticky at the 12 oclock position and requires too much force to correct, or 'unlock' (it's jerky). Requires near constant correction.

The steering on this car is electronic. It feels a lot different than other cars that I drive. The steering is stiff.

Steering issue with car drifting out of lane. Trying to recenter the vehicle in the lane there is resistance, and it requires an extra jerk to move the car back into the center of the lane. This happens repeatedly.

Steering wheel sticks when driving at highway speeds and requires some force to correct in lane. This causes over-correction and vehicle moves in a jerky motion. No lights are on and this is extremely dangerous

Steering wheel sticks causing driver to have to exert extra force to "snap" back to normal steering. Problem happens in both directions and is more noticeable on warmer days after driving for 30 or more minutes. There are forums on the internet with multiple persons reporting the same problem.

While driving down the highway, and attempting to make minor steering adjustments, the steering wheel constantly binds. An unnatural breakout force is required to overcome this perilous situation. The result is a continual overcorrection of the vehicles trajectory within the driving lane (Similar to a drunk driver).

The car steering wheel stick and is jerky when driving. There are multiple sites with forum and videos of people experiencing the same issue.

Steering would "catch" at the centerline when attempting to steer straight. Extra force needed to overcome resistance which causes oversteering and vehicle veered into next lane. This issue has become progressively more dangerous until now the vehicle is unsafe to drive.

At highway speeds, the steering "sticks" when attempting minor steering adjustments. There is a resistance in the steering wheel that causes additional pressure to be applied to the direction of the turn. When the steering "unsticks" is causes an overcorrection.

After driving the car for 30-45 minutes, the steering wheel begins to "stick" and "jerk." I've noticed this issue in the last month.

At speeds above 45mph the car tracks left or right. When correcting, the steering wheel becomes stiff and has to be forced , almost snapping back into position causing the driver to over compensate.

Steering column sticks at all speeds requiring extra force to pull the wheel free. This causes the car to over steer in the opposite direction.

At highway speeds (50 MPH or more), the car struggles to stay straight. This results in having to constantly adjust the steering wheel, which feels very tight, almost as if it's stuck. This requires using more force which can lead to an overcorrection as the wheel loosens up.

Steering is very uncontrollable at 40 plus MPH. Overcompensation is required and makes it hard to steer car. Appears that 2017 and newer honda civics are being recalled but not 2016's.

At highway speeds after driving a long distance (when engine is hot), power steering sticks, making it difficult to drive straight and stay within the lane. Smooth steering is not possible. More likely to occur when ambient temperatures are high, and not likely to occur when the weather is cold.

This issue seems to occur at highway speeds. The steering system seems to have a slight 'sticking' point that requires a slight, additional pressure to correct. Type of road surface (asphalt, concrete, etc.) seems to have some affect on this issue.

At highway speeds vehicle steering sticks causing driver to apply excessive force to turn the steering wheel causing over correction

Steering sticks. It is impossible to drive straight on the freeway forcing you to zig zag continuously in a lane. Problem is most notable at speeds over 40mph.

At highway speeds the steering sticks when making minor adjustments to stay in lane, in other words, the steering sticks hard and the vehicle stays in the turn. Because the steering can't return to center without additional opposite force, breaking the steering free often causes an overcorrect.

While driving on the highway steering wheel sticks when changing lanes very dangerous also because I have an extended warranty the cost was not $3,000 or more this should be a recall

Our civic's steering became very 'sticky' around 6 months ago and the problem develops at speed. The steering gets jerky and momentarily gets locked in a position that we need to fight against. We had a service scheduled at honda and asked them to inspect the issue and they are not able to diagnose the problem correctly.

The steering wheel sticks when over 40mph. The car pulls to one side and happens over 40mph. The car will not drive straight and the steering wheel sticks

The steering is sticky. When I try to make minor adjustments to direction, it sticks. When it finally let's go, the car overcorrects causing dangerous conditions.

At approx 36k miles, the vehicle began exhibiting a behavior where, at highway speeds, the steering sticks while driving straight. To make a minor steering adjustment, the amount of force required to initiate a steering change would cause steering to become unstuck and then over steer.

Stearing wheel is sticking after it is held in one position. The sticking can be noticed at all speeds even when stopped. When thestearing sticks it causes the driver to over compensate when trying to make small adjustments at highway speeds.

Over 40 MPH and especially on highway, the steering wheel is very jerky. A slight adjustment causes the steering wheel to jerk in the hands right or left depending on which way it is being turned. It feels like the steering wheel is stuck and breaking loose.

When I steer on the highway going over 40 MPH the cars steering wheel would feel stuck and when I applied more pressure it jerks the whole car.

There's a "catch" in the steering. While driving, if slight turn, can feel a catch and slight "tick" not very loud.

At speeds over about 45mph the steering sticks briefly and correction causes a sudden jerk in the needed direction. This is constant and always occurs. It seems to have become worse with time and is annoying and disconcerting, especially to passengers and anyone who drives the car rarely or has not driven the car before.

Like so many others, my 2016 civic has the sticky steering problem. At highway speeds the steering wheel "sticks" and does not allow small steering adjustments. Trying to move the car a little left or right, to change lanes for example, is dangerous -- applying enough pressure to get the wheel to move makes the car jerk.

When car is driven for about 20 minutes and it's hot out the steering begins to drift to the left or right and gets stuck and needs to be recentered often causing an over correction and jerk to the other side. This is constant. Does not occur as much at lower speeds but always at over 50 MPH.

While driving at high way speeds, the car's steering feels stiff when adjusting to keep the car straight. It doesn't pull as if the alignment is off. The steering feels stuck when I am trying to keep the car straight and I have to over compensate which makes the car jerk.

When driving highway speeds, the steering becomes sticky and feels as if there are notches or clicks that the steering gets to stuck in. When moving the wheel left or right to "unstick" the steering, the car feels like it's over correcting. The steering is not smooth and it is hard to keep the car moving in a steady straight line.

After about 30-40min of driving on the highway, usually higher speeds, the steering wheel gets sticky and stiff at times. Feel really dangerous when changing lanes and or making slight corrections in movement. Currently my vehicle has 16k miles on it.

Steering starts to stick above speeds of 45 MPH. When trying to correct from center within the lane, the steering wheel seems to stick and then jumps and over-corrects. I then have to compensate and shift the steering wheel to the opposite side and it sticks and jumps again.

The steering feels "sticky". Most notable at highway speeds but I suspect it is occurring otherwise, just not as noticeable when you have to turn the wheel completely vs just staying in lane. When this occurs, it is a constant wrestling match to keep the car going in the direction you'd like.

I bought the car used with only 20,000 miles after driving the car on the highway for at least 15 minutes suddenly the car begins to drift ever so slightly one way or another. When I go to correct, the steering wheel resists. It doesn't freeze but it sort of "sticks" until I apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts completely normal.

It doesn't freeze but it sort of "sticks" until I apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts completely normal.

When driving on a warm day on the highway, the steering becomes very notchy when going straight. When driving, there is constant minor adjustments needed to be made to go straight, however, each time I try to make these adjustments, the steering wheel is stuck so I am slightly drifting left or right.

At highway speeds, and driving straight, the steering gets "stuck" and requires extra effort to turn causing abrupt movements. It is especially noticeable when making small adjustments. This issue starts after the car is warmed up and driven for about 20 minutes.

Started to notice slight stiffness with no veering in steering on short commutes to work going hwy speed. Once I started to drive longer trips and higher speeds, I knew there was an issue with steering significantly! The steering is no longer have the gliding control like normal.

I have a 2016 civic lx 2 door. Recently I have noticed when driving on the highway my steering feels very strange. It feels almost notchy or sticky like there is some sort of bind or something.

After driving for around 30 minutes the steering starts "sticking". It is not smooth and results in overcorrecting because you have to sort of unstick it to keep the car in a straight line on the road. Never experienced this before in any car but can see from reports on the internet that it's a definite problem with honda civic.

Steering stiffens up veers, feels locked, and requires excessive force to correct causing a sway into an adjacent lane. This usually happens after vehicle is driven 20-30 mins and speeds above 40mph. Internet research shown this is a common eps failure on this vehicle.

The steering wheel on my 2016 civic sedan ex-t becomes jerky or sticky after driving roughly 30 minutes on a hot day. It makes highway driving very dangerous. When making small adjustments from on center, the steering wheel is hitting resistance side to side.

Electronic steering box failure causing steering to stick and veer left and right while on the interstate.

While driving the steering gets stiff and when you turn steering wheel it darts unexpectedly to the right or left . This car is a 2016 with only 31000 miles on it. I hope it doesn't get any worse because it's not safe.

Steering wheel sticks while attempting to drive straight causing the car to either drive to the right or left. This happens while driving for approximately 30 minutes or so and especially has an effect on the vehicle at higher speeds. Multiple forums and over 60+ complaints on this and no recall yet?

Steering at 40 plus MPH gets stiff making it difficult to stay in lane

I purchased a used 2016 honda civic touring and didn't notice this problem right away because I didn't drive it long enough on the highway. After driving the car on the highway for at least 30 minutes suddenly the car begins to drift ever so slightly one way or another. When I go to correct, the steering wheel resists.

Sticky steering wheel. Subtle movements cause resistance and force me to jerk the steering wheel in a specific direction. This only happens after you've been driving on the highway for 30-40 minutes.

When driving for 20 minutes or more on the highway the steering begins to stick while trying drive straight.

When driving on the interstate for about at least 15 minutes, the steering wheel sort of sticks and takes extra pressure to turn. This is especially noticeable when you're simply trying to correct minor lane drifting to stay straight and it takes extra effort to do so. It could definitely become a safety hazard should you fail to move the wheel in enough time.

Steering issue- once warmed up and at higher speeds (noticed on highway) car pull left and right. Must use force to correct merging of the car. Response time is low when you try to correct the car back into your lane.

Steering wheel is notchy, when I drive the steering wheel sticks and there doesn't want to turn making the car weave. Also when it's in park and you try to turn the steering wheel slowly it shakes and jitters. Car feels very unsafe while driving

2016 honda civic lx, approximately 20,000 miles has a "sticky" or "notchy" feel to the steering during highway driving. The vehicle drifts slowly to one side of the lane, then when I try to correct back to the middle of the lane, the steering feels sticky and with slightly more effort to nudge it to the middle, it overcorrects slightly and is then drifting to the other side of the lane.

Steering becomes very resistant to input at highway speed (60mph +) requiring considerable force to overcome often resulting in over correction. Has been happening intermitantly since passing the 50000 mile marker.

Sticking stering wheel. My steering "sticks" after I've been driving for about 20-30 mins at around 40/45+ MPH when temperature is above 70f. Take your hand off the wheel on a slight curve and it stays with the curve.
