My son was practicing parallel parking. And car's steering wheel became stiff and hard to turn. I was able to make wheel straight and drove around slowly, mostly straight line, and steering wheel became normal, able to tune it without forcing it hard. It was scary.

My power steering unexpectedly failed. I was on the road traveling approximately 30 mph and went to make a turn but could not without significant effort. My vehicle is currently in the repair shop, where they are trying to diagnose a cause. The power steering is electronic, as my vehicle is a hybrid.

On highway, steering wheel lightly "locks into a notch". Gently applying pressure gradually will break it loose, but causes the car to lightly swerve when it does (noticeable to passengers). This sometimes happens when attempting to follow a left or right curve or when keeping the car in the lane on a straightaway. The problem is much less apparent when lkas is engaged. Problem appeared on 2018 accord at approx…

The car has an issue that when you drive longer distances it develops a 'stick-slip' feeling on the steering, e.g. It takes a little bit more effort to overcome the force it takes to turn the steering wheel to keep the car centered in the lane. Others on the nhtsa website have reported the same behavior. I do have a second, identical vehicle which shows the same behavior.
