I went on a 200 mile trip yesterday when i was driving on highway speed 60-80 mph i felt like my steering wheel was kinda sticky when i was trying to do minor corrections while driving straight. And when i was able to move it was like free play and car was swerving left or right. I had my 3 year old daughter with me it felt like i put her life in danger. It only happened for first time. Usually i drive this car in…

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.

Same as other people - i juts copied another persons complaint as its identical and same mileage etc' - this is a real problem' car has almost 15,000 miles. It has developed a strange sticking issue in the steering while driving on the highway. It almost feels like someone is lightly holding onto the wheel as i?m slightly turning and then suddenly let?s go. This causes me to overcorrect to stay in the lane and it…

Issue with steering sticking or feeling "notchy" while driving at highway speeds. Minor steering input to keep vehicle going straight requires a lot of issue, then the steering lets loose jerking the car on the road. Steering rack was replaced in december 2018, but the issue has resurfaced with the replacement steering rack.

(registering this complaint on 16 sep 19). I bought this car new ('18 accord hybrid), 6 sep 18. A couple months later the front struts started making a creaking/popping sound. It was very noticeable when backing out of garage and then driving out of my neighborhood. When i'd rock the steering back and forth, the noise was very audible. Took it back to the dealer and they said neither front strut had been lubed from…

While driving straight, the car wanders from side to side. Minor corrections are needed to attempt to keep the car going in a straight line. A minor move to the left, then followed by a minor move to the right and so on. This happens at low speeds and at high speeds (over 60mph the drive can be quite scary). I took the vehicle into a dealership and they could not replicate the problem. They were going to have a…

Bought the car in aug. 2018. The steering issue is intermittent and hard to duplicate. Can best be described as a "notch" or "frozen" or "stuck" feeling in the steering while going straight, the steering wheel seems to be stuck in the position and almost have to apply more pressure than usual to get it to move. In the 7 months of driving, i would say its happen no less than 20 times. There are a lot of people on the…

At higher speeds the steering wheel is "sticking" when driving straight. It becomes "frozen" and requires an additional bit of force to adjust the steering wheel. This makes highway driving very annoying (and somewhat dangerous). This seems to happen more often at higher temperatures.

Steering wheel sticks while driving at highway speeds. First noticed on a long trip from virginia to nj and thought it was a one-time thing. However, the problem continued on the return trip. Problem presents itself initially as the steering wheel seems "frozen" in place. To correct the normal drift, driver must "break" the steering wheel free from the frozen position to correct the drift. This is a continual…

Wheel wells building up with ice/snow causing vehicle to vibrate while operating (like out of alignment) and hindering the turning of the vehicle left or right because tires are hitting the ice/snow buildup on wheel well.the tires when cold also behave as if road is slippery, both in acceralation/stopping even though road may be dry. This occurs in cold temperatures only. Dealership states that there is nothing that…

Vehicle does not feel secure in steering. Lane keep has been turned off since october 2018. Tire pressure is as per door sticker. Vehicle is currently at dealership now-honda is replacing steering gear box-part is on…

Steering system "sticks" at times while driving on the highway. It requires some force to correct for this which can cause an over-correction in steering and should be considered unsafe. This is a brand new vehicle with less than 500 miles on it. Found the following information from the 'accordxclub.com" auto club: "the dealer had my car for a week and brought in honda's field engineer since this was the second case…

Vehicle was taken to the dealrship and they retrieved trouble code which is a "mystery code" that honda does not know why its occuring .... Radar told car…

Have a problem steering binding at speeds above 50 mph while making small adjustments to stay in lane. It seems to be most noticeable 65 mph on interstate and temp below 35 degrees. Moving left or right it gets hard then cuts loose then you need to over correct back to stay in center. Not safe to drive in center lane. Was ok first 5000 miles.

Steering wheel shimmies and shakes at speeds over 60 mph on highway. Car pulls out of lane w/o driver doing anything. Driver assistance notice appears on screen. 'lane departure' 'steering required' is the message. Occurs w/o warning sometimes 10 times within 15 minutes, other times less often. Unpredictability leaves driver tense! Was told by mechanic honda issued warning about this problem : ja02922. I have not…

When driving more than 25 miles in a day my steering wheel will stiffen up and then it will release with a jerking like motion ( almost similar to a rack and pinion issue in an older vehicle). It progresses throughout the drive making it difficult to continue the trip. Honda has been made aware of this and said it's the way the suspension is set up, however it shouldn't be stiffening up and jerking as it could cause…

*****asterisks are used in case your system does not support paragraph separation. *****while traveling on the highway with lkas on and lane markers registered (per the readout on the instrument panel), the vehicle will attempt to steer toward the very edge of the lane near a large vehicle (pickup truck, semi, etc). If allowed to continue while allowing the system to control the steering, the vehicle will maintain…

At only 4,200 miles my 2018 honda accord sport 1.5l turbo began having an extremely annoying steering issue. It is noticeable at all speeds, but is truly significant at highway speeds. The steering needs to be corrected about every 10 seconds, moving it slightly to the right, then 10 seconds later, slightly to the left, over and over again for the entire trip. On long trips the issue is almost unbearable as i spend…
