2016 Honda Civic

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 pull off at the next intersection to check my tires and could not find a problem. i noticed that after i slowed down to less than 40 mph the steering worked fine, i got back on the interstate got up to speed and it started sticking again.got off the interstate and took back roads the rest of the way there and home. took it out the next day and it would not do it but now afraid to take long trips for fear of having an accident. checked the internet and found hundreds of complaints about this and no recall.why doe's someone have to die to get things fixed.

I went out to move my car in the driveway this morning and was shocked that my power steering had suddenly failed out of nowhere while backing up. the car was extremely hard to maneuver in the driveway (certainly can't drive it anywhere), and the power steering warning appeared on the dash. 20 minutes later, it was back to normal, but now i am afraid to drive it.

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. i towed a car to a honda dealership and they told me an electric power steering pump needs to be replaced. the car is 3.5 years old, 36000 miles, the warranty ended only 6 month ago. honda provided an estimate of $1500 to fix the problem. in a few days when i was suppose to pick up the vehicle, honda called me saying that they weren't able to fix the problem and now they need to replace a power steering rack and power steering motor and it would cost $3000. the car is not drivable, it's a major safety concern and shouldn't happen after only 36000 miles.

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?

The STEERING
2016 Honda Civic

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. this occurs every couple minutes. i have to essentially drive in a zig zag formation to stay in the same lane. after getting off the highway and onto local roads, the problem persists on local roads but is less frequent than on the highway. having this much difficultly steering the car is a huge safety concern and can lead to car accidents. at the honda dealership, they determined that the steering rack had to be replaced. since the warranty period for the car has already passed, they quoted me over $3,000. there is an existing recall by honda on the 2017 and 2018 civics for the electronic power steering system (eps). but, the eps in the 2016 model gets overlooked. 2016 civic drivers should not have to shell out so much money to get a car with a properly function eps.

I began to pull out of the parking lot of my workplace to head towards the freeway when suddenly my steering stops working. i work in a very busy area and traffic is very busy. luckily, there was a red light and that i am a safe driver because if i would have gotten on the freeway i would have most likely gotten into a fatal accident. i am also very fortunate that the weather did not end up being inclement as it was predicted to be. i have heard of other people having the same issue with their 2012-2013 honda civics. shouldn't they initiate a recall process because this isn't safe.

While in motion at highway speeds. and even at slower speeds of 25-45 mph the car will sway left to right and i will overcompensate to correct the sway. it will start to pull right when i slowly try to correct it by shifting the wheel to the left. as a result it will jerk sharply causing a loop of corrections leaving myself and other drivers feeling unsafe. this has been an issue for months. ive tried adjusting the wheel numerous times to see if it was an ergonomical issue but to no avail.
