“This car had a previous safety recall for steering components "sticking", creating an unsafe driving situation. The recall was performed, however the problem still persists and the steering is still unsafe, sticking, and jerks left to right. This possesses an actual risk of motor vehicular crash, injury, or death. Regardless of how careful of a driver you are, the steering will veer unexpectedly.”
“I bought the vehicle. Everything was cool and I have this issue with the steering that is on recall. I contacted the Honda dealer. They said that I have to contact Canada because it was manufactured in Canada and give me a runaround. My VIN number shows no recalls but the year make a model is on recall in both US and Canada having an issue because the car is in our title vehicle which is reconstructed but everything I guess that was done to the vehicle without my knowledge before everything has been bought at the Honda dealer where I don’t know.”
“Steering wheel is locking with left hand curves at highway speeds especially when the car has been driven for more than 20 minutes. Multiple incidents where I almost end up on the opposite lane because of this. Car has been brought to dealership 3-4 times but they refused to look further into the problem because they claim they cannot replicate it during their test drives.”
“my steering wheel is locking up while driving at highway type speed. my car is shaking at highway speed as well. there has been recalls on these type of cars and Honda has them posted common issue part number is 53640-t22-305. I don't have an issue with the seat. my car is shaking randomly and no one knows why. I tryed tired and rims. well its a common issue with these cars.”
“steering feels sticky & i have to apply force just to keep the steering wheel centered when traveling at a high rate of speed as it feels as if the steering wheel is stuck causing me to over correct my steering. when driving through a curve, my steering wheel gets stuck and i can let go of the wheel and it will remain in place. this happens every single time i drive. i have taken my car to the dealership when the recall came out and it was "fixed" temporarily however the issue has since returned. ive informed honda and they state it's my alignment.”
