Got my car fixed today! Steering feels very tight now. Maybe a little too tight. I tested it out there at the dealership parking lot and though it doesn’t make that creaking noise anymore, if I turn it to max either way, it sounds like a low scraping noise. Maybe just needs a bit of movement to loosen up? Responds well though. Otherwise, driving feels good. Feels like I have it on Sport mode with how stiff the steering wheel feels. They did a wheel alignment with it and the job took roughly 4-5hrs. I tried LKAS on the highway and it felt good. Wasn’t ping ponging all dramatically like it was. Letting go of the steering wheel for a couple seconds on a straight felt good. No subtle shift to the left like it did. Otherwise, just moving the steering wheel doesn’t make any creaks so that’s a plus. Glad it got done.
I have a 2023 Sport Hatch at 4,000 miles no problems. I found the sticker with the part number on the steering rack. It is not one of the ones mentioned in the recall, so I think I'm OK. No sticky steering, yet !
Got mine replaced on my 23’ Civic Sport. They replaced the steering rack and we are good so far. Was the sticking an issue? Yes, because it noticeable and it can be very annoying. For a less experienced driver it can lead to an accident if not too careful or if you pull on it with more strength than needed.
When I brought my Honda Civic for the rack replacement on warranty I told them there is a problem with the rack there was no recall at the time I found out it was a silent recall if you didn’t tell them they would not told me I ended up getting it replaced no charge
I have the same issue with my 2024 Civic, and the dealership told me everything is tight and that I don't have to worry. They also mentioned that this issue is present in all Civics that had the steering recall work done, which makes no sense at all.
After the steering recall on my 2023 Civic Type R, I immediately noticed a slight clicking sensation and faint noise when turning the wheel left or right and letting it return to center. The clicking doesn’t happen throughout the full stroke, just during the return-to-center process. The dealership confirmed the noise and movement. After the recall procedure (syringe grease method for the EPS gearbox), the clicking noise was still present. They determined that replacing the entire steering rack is now necessary to resolve the issue.
We just went through this. 3 dealerships and no joke atleast 10 visits. 2 dealerships said the car was fine and safe to drive. We had the recalls done, but the issue was still present. At the 3rd dealership they diagnosed it immediately and said the car needed a new steering rack. They overnighted the part and the car was fixed today. It’s running perfectly now. What pisses me off is, the ran the part under the Honda Care Warranty I made my kid purchase. Yes, I know, waste of money. It’s his first real car and being it was a used car I was overly cautious at the time of purchase. The car is a 2022 civic touring. Wouldn’t the steering rack be covered under warranty as that part has a known fault. What would have happened if I did not make him spend the extra money for the Honda Care. They stated something was broken within the steering rack as the wheel made a noise when you turned it. The car also would swerve while driving at speeds over 35. The lane assist would jerk the car all over and the steering had dead zones which would cause the jerking while trying to stay in lane. I know I should be happy the damn car is fixed and I don’t need to hear my kid say he’s gonna die driving it everyday as it swerves on the road. I do think the cost should be on Honda and not my Honda Care warranty.
First time they replaced the steering rack and pinion. Noise came back after a couple of days.
Got mines done at 8k miles now it's doing it again at 17k miles poorly built Honda
I’ve been having this issue for a year or so and only recently has it started getting worse. ‘22 sport @ 100k miles. I noticed it on the highway a long time ago when making small adjustments to stay in lane. Like initial resistance to break the wheel free before it would actually move. Now it seems to be happening during left turns, it will bind and basically hold the wheel in place and I’ll have to break it free to get to center properly.
