The 2022 Honda Civic provides the traditional style and memorable name that the average car buyer is looking for. The automaker tries to step it up a notch by claiming it will provide “nonstop fun.” However, some customers aren’t having any fun at all, especially when their cruise control disengages, or the emergency braking system randomly activates.

Most Common Problems with the 2022 Honda Civic
There were 56 complaints made to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about the 2022 Honda Civic between July 2021 and mid-October 2022. Overall, 13 components and systems are listed, but most complaints relate to at least 2, sometimes to 3 of them.
Forward collision avoidance tops the complaints list with 30 complaints. Vehicle speed control is a close second, with 26 complaints, but of these 22 are combined with forward collision avoidance. In total, 29 of the complaints related to Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems malfunctioning. Several also complain about problems with the emergency automatic braking system activating even when there aren’t other vehicles nearby.
There are 10 complaints, so far, about the electrical system, and half of these are combined with cruise control problems.
There are 9 complaints related to lane departure issues. Of these, 4 relate to faulty steering, which has attracted a total of 8 complaints.
With so many brands of vehicles reporting problems with sunroofs shattering and windshields cracking, we note that the 2022 Honda Civic isn’t immune. One of the 3 complaints about the structure of this car reports a windshield crack that occurred without any impact. Despite the fact that there is widespread comment about windshields that randomly crack – including Honda vehicles – the dealer maintained “a small item must have hit it and it isn’t a manufacturer issue.”
Shattering sunroofs are also common with multiple brands, and again, the Honda Civic isn’t invulnerable. A California resident with a new 2022 Civic reports that the sunroof shattered while driving on a freeway in March 2022.
Problems with the Electrical System
The electrical system issues cited in complaints to the NHTSA are varied. Out of a total of 10 complaints, half are listed as vehicle speed control and/or forward collision avoidance issues, specifically the widespread cruise control problems and 1 to steering issues.
An owner from California complains that the car engine also randomly shuts down and the car loses all power. This usually happens after 3-5 hours and the car has to be restarted. And an owner from Ohio, with only 307 miles on the clock, states that the traffic sign recognition feature provides inaccurate speed data,
Here’s an example from an Edmunds review. “Within 10-hours after purchase, the defroster stopped working followed by the air-conditioning immediately afterwards. Took it back to the dealer and it’s been with them for over a week. I may not get my car back for several weeks as it’s difficult to get the electrical replacement parts probably due to chip component shortage. Not very happy with this purchase.”
The electrical issues range from small to large. On the minor side, Service Bulletin #AATS210301 talks about the wireless charger not working with iPhone 12 models. Honda’s solution to this is to “use a USB charging cord” instead. However, even larger are the previous issues that Honda has faced. In the past, the automaker has been found possibly liable for failing to disclose issues with the seatbelts and airbags because of an electrical defect.
Cruise Control Problems
The first complaint about cruise control problems was lodged with the NHTSA on December 2, 2021. Since this time, there have been 3 technical service bulletins (TSBs) that address the issue. The first was released on April 28, 2022 and the most recent in July 2022. But months later Civic owners still have problems.
What the TSBs Say
The initial TSB warns dealers that the Cruise Control and ACC “stop working or cancel while driving.” It states that when customers try to resume the function with a key cycle, they will hear a series of beeps. The cause, they say, is possibly software issues with the multipurpose camera. Dealers are therefore asked to get a repair technician to update the driver support software.
The next TSB, issued on June 24, says, “Cruise control is not working and all the ACC lights are illuminated.” Again, they blame this on software issues with the multipurpose camera and ask dealers to update the software to the most current version.
The most recent TSB was issued on July 15, 2022. This was updated little more than a week later, listing an increased number of VIN numbers. All 3 TSBs state that the normal warranty applies. It isn’t clear whether the software itself has been updated.
What the Complaints Say
A recent complaint from a Michigan resident lodged with the NHTSA on September 21, 2022 tells it like it is. “The adaptive cruise control disengages abruptly during its operation with a beep and cannot be reengaged unless it is restarted. Honda seems to have released a TSB for this issue but this car hasn’t been updated for that TSB software update.” Now that it’s happened a couple of times, the owner plans to get the software updated.
A Los Angeles resident has experienced the ACC and regular cruise control disengaging on multiple occasions. “Once this occurs the cruise control will not engage regardless of whether I try ACC or regular cruise control and I receive a message ‘Cruise Control Off’ and a beep when I try. The only consistent solution seems to be to turn off the car and turn it back on.”
This owner didn’t take the Civic to a dealer for inspection because the problem occurs “very randomly.” Their concern is that it will probably take a dealership hours of driving to reproduce the problem … not knowing that Honda already knows about the problem! While the cruise control failed for the first time in December 2021, the complaint was only filed on July 22, 2022. Surely that’s evidence enough that a recall would solve the problem for many?
The solution may be to join a forum, because they spread the word!
But then, an owner from Texas experienced the problem. The dealership confirmed the issue but said it would “be a while to get fixed.” A software update?
Emergency Automatic Braking Issues
There are only 4 complaints about random or ghost braking in the category Service Brakes. But brake problems are reported in other categories, including Forward Collision Avoidance. It seems that malfunctioning cruise control may sometimes go hand-in-hand with random emergency braking issues.
An owner from Virginia was driving at 75 mph in ACC away from other cars. The weather was perfect, and then the car braked automatically. “The braking period lasted about two seconds during which time inertia slammed me forward. Fortunately there were no cars immediately in back of me or I no doubt probably would have been rear-ended. I did not step on the brake pedal or the gas pedal during this period.”
The owner’s assumption is that the forward collision system activated.
An owner from California reports that while driving on an empty highway, the car ghost brakes even though there are no cars in front. “It has happened multiple times that my last incident almost caused an accident behind me. I have tried to get serviced and they won’t listen.”
Faulty Steering
If your steering doesn’t work, you’re in trouble. Complaints about the steering system of the 2022 Honda Civic range from “unstable steering at low speeds” and the steering becoming “statically neutral” to lane departure issues.
An owner from Tennessee reports a crash, saying that “Steering pulls to the side making it very hard to steer.” The car stays in the lane when going straight but it “makes your arms sore trying to steer it.” The dealer was able to duplicate the problem but was not able to fix it.
An owner from Illinois complains that the steering wheel starts “to stick or bind” after driving for half an hour. When the car stops, they hear a clunk coming from the electronic power steering. “Once on the highway, the steering wheel gets really sticky and when trying to do a small correction it jerks. After a while it becomes really unsafe to drive since all the corrections you make are extreme and it struggles to keep the car centered on the lane without constant struggle.”

| Description | The steering stiffens up (once the engine warms up) while driving and gives unnecessary resistance on initial attempt to turn the steering wheel in any direction (especially at highway speeds). It becomes very tedious on a long drive. I took the car to a dealership and they made a few changes to the settings but it did not fix the problem. They said they would need the car for several days and drive it under various conditions. They claim they had never heard of this problem before. I have a feeling they are going to tell me it's an intermittent problem and not a big enough issue to consider further action. (I've been through that with other vehicles I've owned) I would have to rent a car in order to leave my civic with them. |

| Description | I noticed that when I would drive the vehicle on the highway there was something strange with the steering wheel. I felt that the car would not keep on a straight path, but would slightly start moving to the side and that I had to slightly adjust the steering to keep it driving straight. I would also feel a minimal stickiness of the steering wheel. When driving at slow speeds, I would hear a click on the front of the car every time I would turn the steering wheel. Also, there were random times when I would reverse from a parking space and I would feel another click on the back of the car. There were other times when I would park and the park brake would automatically engage. This issue started happening around november of 2022, about six months after purchasing the new vehicle. I just thought that this was normal, until I began noticing the increase of the issue with the unusual steering problems while on highway speed. The issue has been confirmed by the dealer when I took it for service on 03/08/2023. They kept the vehicle and informed me that I could not drive it until it is repaired. No warning lights turned on to indicate that there was a problem. I'm concerned that this is a new vehicle that I cannot drive, and the manufacturer has not indicated an time when the vehicle will be fixed. The dealer said that in may 2023 some parts may be released for repairs of this issue, but that they cannot guarantee that my vehicle will be repaired by then. |

| Description | I recently purchased a 2022 honda civic sedan sport on 3/24/22. It was a one owner vehicle with 34k miles. Upon my test drive I noticed the steering wheel was "sticking" and over-correcting. I mentioned this to the salesman that was along for the ride, we both said "the lane keep assist needs to be turned off". I have owned several honda's, all with this feature so I know it can be disabled. Once I purchased the car and was driving home, I noticed it getting much worse at higher speed on the interstate. It was maddening! Going straight, without lane departure there is this constant sticking when any type of correction needs to be made. When you correct the path of direction, I have to push much more than I should to do a small correction but it causes the car to swerve! In any kind of turn, no matter how sharp the car does now allow you to "flow" out of the turn. I am forced into a constant "jerking motion" to keep the car in lane and not run off the road! The entire trip home was quite scary, not to mention I looked like I probably needed to be pulled over for dui! Once I was home, I went through all of the safety, maintenance and settings options to disable any kind of lane departure mitigation, driver assist or anything else (that's supposed to make the car safer to drive by the way) and it made no difference! I drove it again today 3/25/22 and had to get off the interstate because of this, as it is highly unsafe. I have contacted the dealership, I will be taking the car in on mon 3/27/22 but after reading many forums on the internet, this is unfortunately a common issue of great concern, that has not been resolved as far as I can tell. There are no warning messages. From what I have read, when other vehicles have been taken to the dealership they are sent away with no corrections, as there are no codes being given for correction. This is extremely unsafe, not for only the driver but passengers and other surrounding vehicles! |

| Description | Steering is "sticky" making it difficult to make minor adjustments while driving. Each time any move is made with the steering wheel it is like it has to "break free" from being stuck. This happens almost all the time over 40-45 mph, regardless of the driving mode (sensing on or off). With the lane departure system off it difficult to stay in a lane when minor corrections to steering are needed, in traffic it becomes dangerous and very scary when the car wants to drift into to passing traffic and the driver has to continually fight the steering wheel. This makes for a stressful driving experience. We recently bought the car used (honda certified), it has 36,700 miles. We took the car to the dealership soon after purchase with concerns about the steering & safety and they said there is nothing wrong with it. We have since taken it on a long road trip, highway driving becomes stressful with countless close calls with traffic in other lanes. The car is available for inspection upon request. We sincerely hope you can help us. |

| Description | Around mid-march 2023, with around 6,000 miles on the odometer, I noticed that the steering wheel feel becomes stiff, sticky, and jerky - generally at highway speeds after the car has been running for some time. Steering wheel takes more force than normal to make small steering adjustments, and this leads to larger, uneven, and sometimes unsafe steering adjustments. We have owned this vehicle since new in may 2022 and this problem did not exist prior to now. No warning messages have been observed, and this problem exists with the lane keep assist feature (activated by button on steering wheel) is on or off. This vehicle is going into a dealership to be tested on 3/24/2023. |

| Description | Steering wheel sticks at highway speeds, power steering does not return wheel 100%. Must continuously slightly jerk the wheel to keep straight in lane. This is unsafe as I must continuously swerve in between lane, and steering response may not be fast/accurate enough when needed. Many other 11th generation civics with issue, no inspection done, no warning lights/symptoms. Vehicle has near 30,000 miles and issue has persisted since between 10,000 and 20,000 miles. |

| Description | I recently heard about the nhtsa investigating the honda civic 2022's for steering wheel stickiness and just wanted to add my voice that I experience this with my car. It gets worse the longer you drive in one sitting. Usually it takes 30-45 minutes of freeway driving to start appearing. The steering wheel requires considerable force to move and it wants to move in increments. As the drive goes on the required force increases and a noise can be heard from within the steering column when you force the steering wheel out of its stuck position and turn. This is a safety concern because the steering is unreliable. The required force to turn is variable, and there is a threshold of force required to move the car that would make a defensive driving situation harder to manage. I am making arrangements to bring the car into a dealership now, but I have little faith they will have a solution to the problem, as it requires such a long test drive to even recreate. There were no warnings or messages when the problem occurs. It first appeared around 15k mile mark, and has gotten worse over time. |

| Description | While driving down the highway the steering feels like it sticks in place. When I put more pressure on the wheel to correct in my lane it unsicks and the vehicle over corrects sometimes causing me to go outside of my lane. This is a safety risk for myself and others because when the stearing wheel sticks it is difficult to make fine corrections on the highway going 55mph+ resulting in me going outside of my lane. The dealership says they don't notice anything. No components have been inspected no warning lights or anything alerted me. |

| Description | The steering becomes unusually notchy and stiff at mid to high speeds (~ >45 mph). It is more noticeable when driving in a straight or nearly-straight line. I will try to make a minor adjustment to steering angle, and because it is so stiff, I will sometimes push too hard and over-correct. This can make driving in a straight line difficult for extended periods. This problem also seems to give the lane keep assist some trouble remaining in the lines at highway speeds (although the problem also occurs with lka off). The problem is inconsistent when trying to reproduce. Sometimes it will be present for several days, and then seems to go away for a few days, etc. I feel as if this could eventually cause a collision at high speeds if I'm driving with extra awareness or if the problem worsens. The car has 9,900 miles on it and I would say this problem has been noticeable for about the last 1,000 miles. The problem has not yet been investigated by a dealer. No warning lights or anything have appeared to indicate a problem. The problem is present across all driving modes (normal, sport, and individual). |

| Description | At this point no accident has happened. The steering wheel becomes stuck or unable to move at times when making small adjustments while trying to maintain control of the vehicle. It also becomes stuck more so when turning at about a sustained 45 degree turn. The wheel becomes rigid and does not respond to drive input and has caused a reaction with over steering as a result when trying adjust to compensate for the sticking of the steering wheel. The lane keep feature of the cruise control seems to play a factor and after it has been used the problem is substantially worse. I do like to drive the car for fear for my safety. When taken to the dealership, I was told nothing is wrong and that it's part of the vehicles handling. Not being able to control a car is not part of the handling. This issue is persistent at all speeds however it appears to be more noticeable at above 44 mph |

| Description | Steering sticks and requires more effort at high speeds to steer. This makes minor steering adjustments unsafe at freeway speeds because the malfunction often makes me oversteer and sway from side to side in the lane. I noticed the issue with under 1000 miles on the car and have taken the car to the dealer I purchased the vehicle from. They have replicated the error but deemed it safe to drive. I have been waiting 6 months for the replacement part to come in due to it being on backorder. There are no warning lights from the malfunction but the steering sticks everytime I drive the car and is most noticeable at high speeds |

| Description | First noticed the issue on 2/26/23. I was on a longer highway drive, and after about 70 miles I started to notice the steering problem. It became difficult to stay centered in my lane. When attempting to make very slight adjustments either left or right, steering input was met with resistance, almost like the wheel was stuck in a notch. As I pushed through the resistance, the wheel would suddenly snap free, resulting in an over-correction. This issue was constant for the rest of the drive, a little over 200 miles. I was immediately concerned that this made the car unsafe, as the constant sudden steering corrections made it difficult to stay within my lane at highway speeds, especially in heavier traffic. The snap steering that resulted from pushing past the “sticking†point frequently caused the car to veer toward cars in the next lane, despite my effort to compensate for it. My wife and 5 month old child were passengers in the car at the time. This would have been especially dangerous in slippery road conditions, though thankfully roads were dry on that day. The car did not display any warning messages or indicators. I ensured lane keeping assist and road departure mitigation were turned off, to verify that the problem was not related to any safety systems. But the problem persisted with those systems disabled. The issue did not occur during the next few days of normal driving, but it returned a few days later on a longer drive, after about 45 miles of highway driving. At first the problem mainly seemed to occur after prolonged highway driving, but in the last week both my wife and I have noticed the “sticky†steering more frequently in everyday driving, both at freeway speeds of 60mph and at lower speeds (30-40mph). The car has not been inspected yet. I was wary of scheduling a dealer appointment due to the intermittent nature of the issue, though it's becoming more consistent. But I would gladly make the car available for inspection upon request. |

| Description | I bought the vehicle brand-new from balise honda in warwick, ri. After about 10k miles I started to notice the steering had become stiff. It's not really noticeable at slow speeds on curvy roads where a lot of steering input is required. I mostly drive on the highway and its almost impossible to maintain a straight line in the lane. When making minor corrections to stay straight, so much input on the steering wheel is required that there is an over-correction, causing the car to constantly swerve back and forth. At about 18k miles I brought the car into balise to have the steering checked. I was told that they could not duplicate the problem when test driven. They seemed to have thoroughly checked the car out but told me it handled normally. The vehicle has 24k miles now and the problem has not improved. My girlfriend refuses to operate the car as she does not feel the steering is safe. There is no way that this vehicle should have such stiff, almost stuck, steering. |

| Description | Steering has been extremely sticky at all speeds but it is more prevalent at higher speeds. The steering wheel is unable to be centered and jerks from side to side as opposed to moving smoothly due to the stickiness. As a driver, this makes highway and other driving unsafe as it is impossible to center the vehicle on the road. No warning lamps have been triggered and the dealership says nothing is wrong. However, this is a very common issue in 2022 and newer honda civics, all models. |

| Description | There is a serious problem w the steering on my 2022 honda civic si. The car is available for inspection. The steering is "sticky" and "notchy" on center. Because of the stickiness, it is impossible to keep the vehicle going straight, requiring constant steering correction with the stickiness constantly occurring. Yes, the dealer experienced the notchy steering. You can feel it while standing still but is more pronounced while driving. Vehicle had a cursory investigation and I have an appt with my dealer for further diagnostics in a few days. There were no warnings. This problem has been present since the car was new and it's getting worse. |

| State | CA |
| Description | When driving above 35 mph, the steering becomes "notchy" or "sticky." for example, when driving straight, the steering wheel will be stuck in the neutral position even when force is applied to the wheel. It takes more force than usual to finally "unstick" the steering wheel, which then jumps further than you anticipate causing you to over-steer and have to correct. Similarly, when the car is turning along a bend, and you let go of the steering wheel, the wheel is stuck in the turn and will not return to center. It will again take extra effort to force the wheel back to center. No driving assistance features relating to steering (ie. Lkas, ldw) are active when this issue occurs. All driving and steering is being done manually. This is a major safety concern because the car is not steering as anticipated and the over-steering and corrections makes the driving unpredictable and dangerous. |

| Description | While driving my car on the open highway, I noticed that the steering wheel became somewhat sticky and resistant. This started in september of 2022 and the problem has become increasingly worse. The steering wheel requires excessive force to turn at speeds above 40mph, making micro-adjustments to the steering very difficult and causes oversteering. If there is a bend in the road and I turn the steering wheel, it sticks when trying to straighten the wheel out. It requires additional force to break the sticking point and get the car straightened back out. The safety concern is related to the straightening back out, in some cases it takes considerable effort and requires control to not over power into crossing the line of the lane. I also have concerns of a lock up and causing an accident that could harm me as well as others. Currently, I am not driving my new car due to the fear of an accident. There are zero warnings appears when this happens, so there is no way to prepare for it. I have contacted my local honda dealership as well as america honda (corporate office) to complain about this issue. The dealership informed me that the steering rack needs to be replaced. Honda is not able to provide an eta on the part, nor are they willing to provide a loaner car. Honda told us that we could pick the car back up and continue to drive it until it is repaired. Honda is not concerned about the danger to customers. Migliaccio & rathod llp is pulling info together to file a class action lawsuit since this issue is happening to so many honda civic owners. It should not take someone dying for honda to resolve this issue with no expense to the customer. We are currently making payments on a new honda that my son is scared to drive. Https://lemonexpert.

Scarier when my kid is in the car with me. It started at about 18k miles. I don't notice it at all when temps are below freezing. I brought it up to the dealership service department and they said they've heard the complaint numerous times, but there is no known fix yet. Please, honda, address this.

| Description | The steering wheel “sticks†when using moderate to highway speeds. About 35+ mph and above. If there is a bend in the road and I turn the steering wheel, it sticks when trying to straighten the wheel out. It requires additional force to break the sticking point and get the car straightened back out. The safety concern is related to the straightening back out, in some cases it takes considerable effort and requires control to not over power into crossing the line of the lane. I also have concerns of a lock up and causing an accident. There are zero warnings appears when this happens. I've had my wife confirm the issue as well, since initially I thought I might be imagining things. It was occasional before, I fiddled with the lane keep assist and turn all options off, it's only gotten worse in the last 1,000 to 1,500 miles. The car is nearing 22k. I plan to take the car to get inspected this week, but availability has been difficult. Dealerships near me do not appear to do inspections on weekends, only oil changes and standard service. I've called and been declined for an inspection over the weekend. Once the inspection has occurred, I'm happy to share any documents related to this issue. |

| Description | I drive approximately 40 miles to work one way, 80 miles round trip. About 15 miles into the drive which is all interstate my steering wheel starts to stick. The feeling gets more pronounced the further I drive and never goes away. While traveling straight with no input to the steering wheel for a few seconds I will apply pressure to the steering wheel to stay centered in the lane and the wheel feels like it's stuck until it finally gives way and now I have to over correct to compensate for the wheel sticking. I live in minnesota and drive on slippery roads where having to over correct the steering wheel can be a dangerous hazard. I noticed this hazard at 22,000 miles and it has increasingly gotten worse since it's 27,000 miles currently on the vehicle. I contacted my local dealership hoping they would have some knowledge of what's going on but the stated they have not heard of this issue. There were no concerns of driving the vehicle but requested I bring it in for inspection. I have yet to make an appointment to have it looked at. There are no warning lamps or indicators associated with the steering hazard. |

| Description | Regardless of the lane assist setting, while at speeds above 60mph the car starts pulling away from center and toward the lanes lines. The steering "locks" and I have to pull it back to center. It doesn't feel like an alignment issue because it does it to both sides and the steering "locks". I've completely turned off all lane assist and it still does it consistently. If I let it, the car will pull me out of the lane into the rumble strips. The steering is very jerky, it pulls away from center, "locks" the wheel, I pull the wheel in the opposite direction, it releases with a jerk and then starts again. It feels as though I'm trying to correct the steering of a drunk driver. |

| Description | Staring at 40ish mph, steering becomes sticky and slight corrections become difficult, at higher cruising speeds of 65+ this issue gets worse. Staying in lane can be difficult especially on lanes going from straight to curved. Sticky steering also fights lane assist which causes wheel to overcompensate automatically. The car is basically brand new at >5000 miles. However it is now unsafe to drive on the highway due to the steering being unpredictable and getting worse. Car has never been in any kind of crash or accident. Rosenthal fairfax honda ran honda multipoint inspection and said nothing was wrong and claimed the steering problem was a feature. I do not think they actually drove the car and I am following up with them about the issue. No warning lamps of any kind, attempted software reset as well to see if it was an electronic issue, but no good. Definitely not an electronic issue. Issue started after lots of freezing to warm weather in northern ma this last winter. |

The water from the front windshield traversed back to both sides of the driver & passenger front windows in a strong gulf of stream, that blocked the visibility of both sides of the front drive & passenger windows. I could not see at all from both of the driver and passenger side view mirrors at all. This is potential safety hazardous while driving in the rain, and cannot see through both sides of the side view mirrors. This was very impactful in loss of visibility even on this experience. I am genuinely afraid for my safety as this rainy season ensues. This is incredibly dangerous and could cause an accident or possibly death. |

At slower speeds it's unnoticeable, but at highway speeds the steering wheel jerks while I am turning it to follow a curve in my lane. I took it to the shop to get the wheels aligned and inflated the tires to the recommended air pressure, but there was no improvement whatsoever. It feels like the problem is getting worse, and now it feels unsafe to drive. I took it to the honda service center in san marcos, tx, and they told me they need to replace the whole steering rack, being the estimated repair ,000. They also told me they were going to research if there was any possibility that honda would take care of "part of the cost of the repair", because "they usually don't find this kind of problem, especially not in new cars". |

| Description | 2022 honda civic - steering issue this issue began around ~6,000 miles; the vehicle started providing a sticking and notchy feedback during mid-turns. This issue is most notable during speeds of 45mph. Or faster. During a turn, the steering wheel stays locked in the position and requires additional steering correction to reset the angle. This is a driving hazard as the additional feedback required from the driver can cause overcorrection, causing the vehicle to exit its lane. Additionally, at low speeds, while the steering is in full lock (reverse and forward), the steering rack seems to make knocking/ticking sounds. The vehicle currently has ~13,000 miles and this issue has remained persistent since first observation. This issue was reported to a local honda dealership on february 18, 2023 during a routine maintenance service. |

| Description | While driving on freeway the steering wheel feels sticky and gives resistance. Car constantly veers to left and to the right. Spend most of my time focused on keeping car centered and when making the adjustment it's not smooth. It's jerky and feels like something is binding it. We drove 35 miles to our nearby costco and I had to correct steering wheel 29 times to keep it centered. It's exhausting and worry that we could go into the next lane or off the road if gets worse. We took it to the dealer yesterday 2/17/23 to check on this problem our odometer was at 21,995. Was told technician was not able to duplicate our concern and when they put it on their equipment for testing, no codes came up and that nothing can be done unless codes come up when they do their testing. No warning lamps or messages have come up. My husband believes that this problem started sometime in january of this year 2023. The vehicle is about 1 year old and the steering didn't feel like this the first year after we purchased it. |

| Description | I purchased my 2022 honda civic hatchback sport in november of 2021. I currently have 7,000 miles on my vehicle. 2 months ago, I noticed a slight sticky feeling with my steering wheel. This almost feels like I am in a constant rut and having to make slight but hard pulls at the steering wheel to make any small adjustment. This occurs when I am going roughly 40 miles per hour or higher. At first, it felt like my lka was on but when I saw that it wasn't it brought concern. I had a moment a couple of weeks ago where my steering wheel almost ran my husband and I into the right lane. I am worried since there have been multiple reports of others having this same issue and it got worse. I also had a moment on december 31st, 2022 where my car was put into adaptive cruise control around 70 mph and was shut off suddenly. I was not given the option to reengage the cruise control until after my car was turned off and on again. My car is currently at the dealership for these issues as we speak and my technician has said they don't feel what I am talking about. This has made me feel unsafe to drive my vehicle and hope this complaint can join the others and help honda send out a recall for this issue. 169 complaints about that same thing on here is a big deal. So is the thousands of reddit threads I have found stating this same problem. Please honda, do better and call this in or unfortunately you will be met with a lot of lawsuits I am afraid. |

| Description | Occasional unusual resistance in steering wheel, leading to moderate over-corrections. There is often resistance to moving the wheel from center, and when the resistance releases, the wheel moves more than what was desired, leading to over-correction. This causes swerving and is a hazard. |

| Description | “sticky†sensation/feedback when making minor correction to steering on highways/speeds greater than about 40mph. Needing to make slight corrections to stay in lane the steering requires extra force to “unstick†the steering wheel causing an over-correction. This posses potential safety issue to driver, passengers, and other motorists in the road. Began a few months after purchasing the vehicle in november 2021 and has been an issue ever since. |

| Description | At approximately 23k miles while driving to work on the highway, I felt like my car's power steering kept getting stuck and I had to constantly try to re-steer my vehicle to keep it driving in a straight line. At first I didnt think much of the issue but now my car has 26k miles and the issue is getting worse. The steering seems to be sticking well driving in a straight line, and as you pull on the wheel, it will suddenly almost feel like it's clicking then move. This is extremely unsafe and I have noticed that this same issue has been reported by hundreds of honda civic owners. At the moment there is not a recall for this but I hope it that honda takes action asap. I have yet to take my car to the dealership but I have made an appointment to take it to the dealership this upcoming week. |

| Description | On friday january 27th, I was driving approximately 65mph when the steering wheel got stuck to the right, causing me to run off the road. I hit a rut where the road meets the grass and it caused a couple of my wheel weights to fall off. Initially the lane keep was on, but I turned it off as it started pulling to the right. The car still proceeded to pull continuously until I cut it off, and then started to appear to work normally for a short period afterwards. The steering wheel already sticks in the center on most days. Now, there's issues stopping, I'm guessing from the rut I hit. The dealer that I bought it from swears that there's nothing wrong with the vehicle and that I'm just a difficult customer. I've already had it up to the dealership 5 times. There's 88 other people already who agree with me. I have a case with american honda corporate, but they only agree with what the dealer tells them. This poses a major safety hazard, and it needs to be recalled before someone gets killed. |

| Description | Particularly when traveling at highway speeds, steering wheel feels sticky or stiff. This makes it hard to make subtle steering changes, as extra force is required to adjust direction, so car jerks one direction or another. This feels very unsafe, and does not give me confidence that I am in full control of my vehicle at high speeds, especially when traveling on congested highways. I did not experience this when I first purchased the car approximately 12 months ago. I would say the issue began about 2-3 months ago. There have been no warning signs or anything else. |

| Description | When traveling straight down the road, most noticeably at interstate speeds, the car will start to drift ever so slightly in one direction. You start adding steering angle to go straight and can feel the electric steering weight ramp up like it should. Then all of a sudden it gets light and corrects back to center, however now you are traveling in the direction the steering is pointing. The feeling is like driving on an extremely windy day where the driver has to fight the steering to keep the car going straight. However this happens at random without warning. It feels like something in the rack is binding up when it gets warm. |

| Description | While driving for some time the steering feels notchy like it takes more effort than normal to steer from center (only occurs for the first 5-10 degrees either direction from center). This usually becomes noticeable when driving around 30+ minutes over 35mph, and it causes lkas to struggle to keep the car center in the lane. Definitely a safety hazard and seeing as there are a ton of others having this same issue across all trims levels. Does not prevent me from driving but is a potentially hazardous issue if it becomes worse than it is. |

| Description | 2022 honda civic sport current milage: 21,000 miles. I have had this car since september 2021. Ever since my first day of ownership, the lkas system for assisting the driver with lane guidance constantly fights me. Often, the car turns the steering wheel by itself to hug the left lane line, often passing over the line and causing the lane departure warning to activate, shaking the steering wheel. This issue has occurred on the right lane line as well, but typically the issue is with the left lane line for my car. This happens every time I drive my car. I took my 2022 honda civic sport to a honda dealership about a year ago to look at the lane departure issue. The mechanics were able to replicate the issue, however nobody knew what to do as no codes were supplied by the car. The employees acted as if I was stupid as I explained my issue, with video proof, however their doubt changed when their test drive concluded. I was later informed by honda dealership employees that the car was "supposed to guide towards the lane lines." I am not confident that any car is "supposed" to do anything as dangerous as the 2022 honda civic sport lkas system; this issue will increase the likelihood of accidental sideswipes on multi-lane roads, or loss of control in poor road conditions as you have to yank on the very stiff steering wheel and constantly apply pressure to oppose the lkas system. Another issue with the same 2022 honda civic sport is that the acc system malfunctions. For no reason at all, in perfect driving conditions and no warnings at all, cruise control will turn itself off. This is dangerous as I do not anticipate the deactivation of the system, leading the car to significantly decrease in speed on the interstate without. The system cannot be reactivated until the car is recycled; the vehicle must be pulled off the road to correct this problem. Nobody at the dealership knows what to do about the cars they sell. |

| Description | There are issues with steering possible lane assist. I took it to honda to be accessed, initially the rep tried to tell me there was nothing wrong/ didn't understand the issues I was having. Then I was told it was a small hose that was constantly triggering lane assist feature and that they needed to take the dash apart and install this part they claim they special ordered. I left my car at the service center for several days. They reported they had replaced defective part and the issue had been resolved however, it's been 2 weeks and the car is worse than before. The steering wheel is stiffer than before and makes a clicking sound when turning any direction. I'm afraid of an accident because the issue forces the driver to constantly. The service guy claimed it's not dangerous just something annoying. I feel frustrated because this shouldn't be happening with a car that I just 1 year old |

| Description | While driving my car on the highway I'm noticing that my steering wheel often gets stuck if I've been driving straight for a while. When I feel it get stuck I have to apply pressure or pull it to get it to move. Sometimes when it gets stuck and I try to move it slightly it feels like the car is drifting off into the next lane. Almost as if the car is fighting me a bit. For example I will try to move it to the right but it gets stuck and goes to the left. This is very dangerous sometimes I get scared thinking what if it doesn't move one day and I crash into something or someone. It is very unsafe! |

| Description | While driving the 2022 civic touring there is a noticeable stickiness to the steering almost as if the wheel will look up while trying to drive straight and pull the car to different sides of the road. Its almost like the first 5 degrees right or left are not registered, causing it to lock up. It originally was while driving straight mainly highway miles. Now it's becoming noticeable during day to day driving and turning. This is very unsafe considering the car can turn and steering wheel will not allow the driver to automatically correct because it is locked up. If you go to the dealership everyone pretends like it's unreal but check any forum and tons of people are experiencing these problems with 2022 civics. I had a dealership tell me to my face that it is 100% "normal". |

It does take considerable effort to steer at highway speeds as the resistance makes it difficult to not overcorrect when steering. When lane keep assist is on it can also be felt that it is struggling with the resistance in the steering. This started at around 5000 miles. The dealership states that it is the steering rack. There was no warning lamps. There is no tech safety bulletin or recall. This is a known problem and a potential safety issue. |

| Description | At approximately 20,000 miles the vehicle has issues with the steering wheel sticking, adversely affecting the ability to steer the vehicle safely. The issue appears after the vehicle has warmed up and is more noticeable while in the higher rpm range at approximately >40 mph. The steering feels locked in place with the driver needing to fight the steering in order to control the vehicle. The amount of adjustment needed to steer the vehicle causes the steering to overcompensate and causes the steering to stick in the opposite direction which requires the driver to fight the steering the entire time the vehicle is operated. This issue presents a great safety concern to both the drivers/passengers in the vehicle and other drivers as the fatigue of manipulating the sticking/notched steering wheel can lead accident if the driver's inputs are not consistent with the steering defect. No warning light or or error codes are present. |

| Description | Factory ordered 2022 civic touring sedan summer of 2021. Took delivery october 27th 2021. Vehicle has 17,600~ miles roughly today. Around mid to late summer of 2022 I started noticing the steering becoming semi-stiff, notchy only in centerline position of 3-5 degrees on highway driving. All driver aides are turned off lkas etc. Tried with on or off. Basically, any speed in excess of 40+ mph, especially 60+ mph the steering wheel at random feels lightly stuck, semi-locked, resistive at center position or anywhere within about a 3-5 degree center position requiring a slight but constantly noticeable over steer to get power steering to engage properly. Makes highway driving annoying and uncomfortable constantly using wrist to make minor over corrections slightly right/left, left/right against the resistance. Car drives fine below 40mph. Alignment has been done twice to rule it out. Most recently this december. Dealership has been advised on my last alignment. Simply put steering is sticky, notchy, semi-stiff in centered position once above 40mph+ but not at every single time the vehicle is started. Mostly 60% of the time. I am waiting and would seriously like honda to investigate the issue and release a tsb fix so I do not have to waste my time running around with the dealership debates before the factory warranty runs out. |

| Description | Steering feels very jerky on the highway. Best I can describe it is when you are giving little corrections with the steering wheel it feels heavy and then the power steering helps once you get to a certain level of input and the wheel jerks hard. Almost like the power steering can't see the first 5â° of input at highway speeds. This makes for a car that is hard to keep centered and unsafe driving conditions on the highway. This effect is noticeable in normal mode and unbearable in sport mode. |

| Description | Windshield wipers do not fully clean/clear driver side of windshield. This is a major safety risk as wet roads can impair driver vision from salt and sand trucks. Windshield wiper fluid does not clean/clear drivers vision from this and creates a direct block of vision of the road. What I experienced was minor due to minimal snow. This was very impactful in loss of visibility even on this experience. I am genuinely afraid for my safety as this winger season ensues. This is incredibly dangerous and could cause an accident or possibly death. |

| Description | Steering is sticking when making normal minor corrections while driving. This causes the driver to have to over-correct to get past the sticking point. When driving on the highway, this makes driving dangerous, as an over-correction moves the vehicle closer to other vehicles or barriers. Note that this problem started around middle of november 2022. Prior to that the vehicle drove fine, no issues. |

| Description | The steering of the car is hard to control starting at 30 mph and getting progressively worse as you increase the speed. The steering wheel seems to lock in a position and when you try to correct your path of travel it causes an over correction due to the additional force necessary to try and keep the car in the intended path. I had 2 close calls where I almost had an accident on the high way because of this. Along with my hand being damaged as a result of a service connected disability I fear that I wont have enough strength to keep the car from veering into a tragedy. |

One day when it was very windy driving to work after over correction I blew into the other lane, luckily no one was close enough. Driving on the freeway for long periods of time causes hand cramps from the amount of grip it requires to keep it center lane. This is a safety issue.

| Description | At highway speeds, the steering wheel will stick a few degrees from center on either side when allowing the wheel to return to its neutral position. When making minor adjustments while travelling straight, the wheel will give increased resistance at the points mentioned above. This can be possibly dangerous if a driver assumes the wheel will behave normally when completing a turn or overcompensating during minor adjustments. This can be especially true during inclement weather conditions where minor adjustments or wheel sticking may affect the driver's ability to correct an otherwise avoidable traction related incident. |

It originally was while driving straight mainly highway miles. Now it's becoming noticeable during day to day driving and turning. This is very unsafe considering the car can turn and steering wheel will not allow the driver to automatically correct because it is locked up. Around 5000 miles the steering wheel will begin having a loose change noise when turning to the left behind the horn, around 10,000 miles the steering wheel will begin locking up and not allowing the driver to correct it and will pull the car to different sides of the road.

It takes a decent amount of force to correct the steering and causes jerky reactions causing my car to dramatically bounce between lane lines. This is a major safety issue as on a curvy road I can easily veer off road or into oncoming lanes . This is a major issue and have found a lot of other honda civic owners are seeing the same issue. There are no indicator lights on the dash when this happens. I have tried to correct issue by changing the steering wheel location via the telescope position with no change.

The problem is more pronounced at highway speeds, but is starting to become noticeable at residential street speeds (25-35mph) too. I do not feel safe driving my less than year old car! Brought it to the dealership yesterday and they actually acknowledged the problem and recommended “a whole steering gearbox replacementâ€, which is under warranty, but the part has at least a month lead time. Unacceptable! Most dangerous incident took place when I was turning onto my street and in mid-turn the steering wheel got stuck making me have to apply more than normal force and making an over correction. Thankfully, nobody was around so I didn't hit anyone, but it could have been bad if there was a car in the opposing lane. |

| Description | This issue has been occurring since my vehicle had approximately 10,000 miles on it. Currently has around 16,000 miles on it. Sticking of the steering wheel while at traveling speeds and near-straight direction. Generally happens for the entire duration of the drive, occurring after the steering wheel has been stationary for more than a second or two. Most noticeable when at faster/highway speeds. Problem will be reported to the dealer. This can very in intensity and require different amounts of effort to overcome the sticking. It causes annoyance in keeping the vehicle straight or slightly curved, and making very minor steering inputs can be difficult. This could create a safety issue if not expecting it or cause minor over-correction when the pressure releases while traveling on contaminated roads. Seems to happen more often in cool temperatures between 45 and 65 degrees, and regardless of lkas or other driver assist system functions being on or off. |

| Description | Since I've owned the car, when driving above 40 mph(when lkas may engage), with lkas off, the steering becomes statically neutral. . . I. E in a turn the steering wheel will remain in the turned position when pressure on the wheel is reduced. In this case the steering wheel( as well as the front wheels themselves) should straighten out as you continue to move. This is dangerous. Also, at highway speeds, in order to maintain the center of your lane small inputs to the steering wheel are normally required. In this vehicle, there is resistance to these small inputs. When the force of your input finally overcomes the resistance in the steering wheel the wheel turns more dramatically than intended(overcorrection). This is also dangerous. This also occurs with lkas off. It's almost like lkas engages the steering column preemptively above 40 mph but in a dangerous manner. I have less than 3000 miles on the car. |

| Description | The lane keep assist of the car is supposed to keep the car centered when enabled. It does this job well most of the time however a few times, the car keep wanting to hug the right lane line to the point where lane departure alert starts beeping. In summary the car thinks the center is closer towards the right lane line to the point where lane departure alert warning comes on. As the driver you have to actively hold the steering to keep it centered since the system will keep fighting you to gravitate towards the right lane line. This issue occurred twice as of this date with no specific pattern observed that might trigger it. The abnormal behavior is observed when the system is engaged for a while in its normal operation. This can pose a safety issue if the car suddenly drifts to the right rather keep it centered in the lane since it occurs without warning. No warning lights or alerts come in the car when this abnormal behavior occurs. However the dashboard (sport touring digital cluster) visualization also shows the car deviating towards the right lane line during this behavior indicating the car's camera also sees this abnormal behavior but the lane keeping logic somehow is issuing the wrong control commands. Plan to show it to a dealer soon. |

| Description | I had waited several months for a 2022 honda civic ex. I had requested either white or morning mist. I finally got a call than "it" was in. "it" turned out to be a dark grey. My old lease was running out, so I took the car. I never had a chance to drive any of the 2022 honda civic ex models. I did not know anything about the idle stop "feature." I went to the dealership and a product specialist told me it could not be disabled except for the button on the console. After I had the car about 10 days, when it would restart after stopping, the engine would sound like it was choking or not starting well. This "feature" is driving me crazy. I'm 75 years old and usually don't remember to hit the turn-off button when I start the car; then when I do stop, it goes through the re-start process again. That's when I finally remember to hit the button. But I wonder if and when the engine won't start up since it sometimes sounds like it's stalling before it starts. Thank you. |

| Description | The trunk lid does not remain open once lifted up and must manually be held open with one hand. I needed to use both hands to remove something from my trunk yesterday. The trunk lid closed while I was doing so and the metal latch of the trunk lid slammed into my forearm. A golf ball-sized knot started forming almost immediately and I am in a lot of pain today. I am trying not to seek medical assistance today, but will probably end up doing so. |

| Description | While driving on the interstate both adaptive cruise control(acc) and regular cruise control have disengaged on multiple occasions. Once this occurs the cruise control will not engage regardless of whether I try acc or regular cruise control and I receive a message "cruise control off" and a beep when I try. The only consistent solution seems to be to turn off the car and turn it back on. There have been multiple instances where the system disengaged while I was between other vehicles and my safety was definitely at risk due to a sudden change in speed without a logical traffic reason. I have not had the vehicle inspected by a dealer because this only occurs very randomly(5-10 times in 12,00 miles) and to reproduce it would likely require hours of driving. I am only able to speciically list one date that I know that this problem occured while my friends and I were on a 12 hour road trip back from watching an nfl game. Thankfully I was driving and was already aware of the issue and quickly accelerated away from the 18 wheeler that was tailgating dangerously close behind me. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. |

| Description | As I was driving to church on highway 46w and then, it turned into 23n, I noticed my car was driving by itself. I pushed on the brake pedal because it's an intersection, and I noticed it slowed down, but as soon as I let my foot off the pedal the car was accelerating again. I checked if I touched the cruise control, but it wasn't on. A few times I hit the break and, again, as soon as I took my foot off the brake pedal, the car began to accelerate. This time I lifted both my feet away from the pedals and had them in the air, and I checked if the mat or anything was touching the gas pedal, but nothing was on or pushing it. So, I decided to downshift, because my car is standard manual, and my car began revving. The rpms went high and then, I shifted up and pushed the gas pedal and after I did that, that's when the gas pedal popped, it made a loud pop, and the car stopped accelerating on its own. If I had to stop immediately, I could have, definitely, got into an accident for something that was out of my control. There were not any warning lights or any other symptoms prior or after that incident. |

| Description | While driving on the freeway at 75 mph, the adaptive cruise control was engaged, and when commnig up behind a slower moving truck in the slow lane, our car decelerated to match it's speed. I then went to pass the truck after several vehicles passed us on the left. As soon as I started to change lanes, the cruise control shut itself off and the car started to slow down with several more cars now right behind us in the fast lane. Once we were past the truck and back in the slow lane, I tried to re-engage the acc, which refused to turn back on. It only gave a beep and showed an icon on the display that said acc was off. (it was not off). The acc would only start working again after we had gotten off the freeway and stoped the car. On this same trip, the acc turned itself off, on about 6 or 7 different occasions. There was also a time when I was following a vehicle with acc on, following at medium distance, and another vehicle sped past me on the left, and darted between our car and the one we had been following, and continued past that vehicle on the right side. As this other car passed between us and through, our car suddenly sped way up, forcing me to slam on the brakes so we wouldn't rear-end the vehicle in front of us. At this point, I do not trust the acc, or any of the advanced driver assistance systems in this car, and will not be using them unless honda makes some fixes. (and even then, I will be wary) prior to this trip, my wife was in the car, parked, with engine off, using the radio to listen to a pod-cast via her phone (plugged into the usb) and the car suddenly gave her a warning message that all of the driver assist functions were disabled, and to please see the dealer. We took it in, and they said there were known issues with some of the cameras and they would replace ours when they get one in. They still haven't got one in, however, everything started working again on it's own after the dealer had looked at it. |

I was in the process of passing another vehicle, it was sunny and clear and suddenly I heard a long beep and the vehicle started to slow down. I briefly looked at the dashboard but see any warning but noticed acc was off. Once it was safe again I attempted to re-enable acc but the system refused saying acc was off. At the next rest area I stopped and shut off the vehicle, only after that I could use acc again. It's unknown if any of the other honda sense features were disabled but this unexpected behavior is a concern. There is an entire thread at https://www. Civic11forum.

| Description | Twice while using the adaptive cruise control on the interstate my vehicle gave me a "brake" warning and automatically applied hard braking on my vehicle even though this was at 0430 in the morning and no cars present on the interstate. I too pressed the brake and cancel on the steering wheel to try and disengage the adaptive cruise control, so I could regain control of my vehicle. The first time it happened, it caught me off guard. The second time it happened, I was waiting for it. I drove with my hand able to disengage cruise control as soon as it would happen. This was an attempt to verify if the first time was a fluke or if there was a real problem. I have not used my cruise control since because I cannot trust it. Luckily these were when the traffic was light on the interstate and it did not cause a wreck. |

| Description | I was driving at 75mph in adaptive cruise control. The closest car in front or beside me was at least 1/4 mile away. The weather was perfect, no rain, wind, etc. Just sunshine. Without notice, the car automatically braked, the brake light showed up in the dash. The braking period lasted about two seconds during which time inertia slammed me forward. Fortunately there were no cars immediately in back of me or I no doubt probably would have been rear-ended. I did not step on the brake pedal or the gas pedal during this period. My vehicle is scheduled to be at the dealers service center in 6 days but with all the intermittent issues I am having with this vehicle, I am sure they will say they cannot replicate the problem. My assumption is that the forward collision system intermittently axctivated. |

| Description | Vehicle purchased new from honda dealership in yuma az in june of 2021. Within 2nd day of ownership, the cruise control abruptly shut off causing a safety risk of driver's behind me coming close to rear end collision. The cruise control has abruptly and without warning has randomly shut off over 40 times since then. Vehicle has been taken in for repair 4 times with no resolve. Honda tried adjusting brake switch on first repair attempt, did not fix the issue. Second and third attempts the dealership replaced the srs module and the brake switch. Drove vehicle for 800 miles, then the issue arose again, causing the car to immediately slow, causing others behind me to have to brake quickly putting me at risk of rear end collision. Opened a case with american honda, case number12509879. American honda and the dealership states "they can not fix the issue until they actually see it for themselves acting up", which it does not act up when they drive it. I have many, many videos of the cruise control randomly shutting off and me being unable to reengage the cruise control. The only solution so far is to pull off the roadway, shut the car off, restart it, cruise will activate then. Visit the following website to see how many others are having same issue: https://www.

| Description | Adaptive cruise control (acc) has been randomly shutting off out of nowhere during my drive. This has been happening off and on for two months and is not happening due to the reasons it could happen in the owners manual. It will not turn back on unless I pull over and shut off the car or place the transmission into park which forces me to leave a highway. Today without acc even on I get 5 warnings including collision mitigation brake system failure and to see a dealer (pictures attached for all 5 warnings that came on the dashboard today). I saw rudolph honda in el paso tx today and the service center lady told me she is aware of this problem and already tried to diagnose another 2022 civic with no luck and there are no rentals to help me leave my car for further diagnostics and I cannot be seen for a week at borman honda in las cruces nm nearby where I live. So honda is putting me out for my time and money I give them for this faulty acc and related safety systems. I feel unsafe as this shuts off out of no where and could cause me to get rear-ended as last time this happened the car suddenly decelerated with someone behind me. This car is available for inspection. |

| Description | After driving anywhere from 20-30 minutes my car's cruise control feature experiences a bug. From my experience while the vehicle is in cruise control the cars system will make a low tone elongated beep and the cruise control system will stop working. As the vehicle is in motion and attempting to engage/set the cruise control feature the hud alerts that the “cruise control†needs to be on/active. No matter how many times you deactivate and activate cruise control the system will not allow you to set any desired speed because it perceives the cruise control feature as “offâ€. The only fix I've found is to come to a complete stop or park and restart the vehicle. I'm not the only person to experience this. The photo uploaded shows the hud telling me that the acc is off when it is in fact on. However the system will not engage and set the speed. Yet, I hope I have offered the most details. My suggestion is to rewrite the coding/update for the cars system to detect the cars cruise control feature. Or implement a double click which overrides/automatically turns the cc feature on and sets the desired speed. |

| Description | My 2022 honda, vin [xxx] when in cruise control mode either adaptive cruise control or regular, cruise control mode intermittently shuts off. The automatic headlight diming function also shuts off. There are no messages, warnings or codes associated with it. Attempting to reset the cruise does not works and the car beeps when it is attempted. The only way to reset cruise control is to stop, place the car in park or stop, place the car in park and turn the ignition off and restart. The issue is that when in traffic on the interstate, when cruise shuts off, operator (me) may not necessarily se it when it happens. As the car slows unknowingly, vehicles behind may run in to the car or create unnecessary congestion. The dealer asked if I could video this and I did. The video was after it shutoff and my attempts to reset it. I provided this video to the dealer and they indicated that it was useless, though it was requested by them. I have had my car at the dealers' service center 3 times now and they could no replicate the issue. However the issue occurs intermittently and usually on long (50 miles or more) interstate drives which they have not performed. The issue started within 1 week of purchasing the vehicle. The environment that this occurs in has always been clear, no inclement weather, sometimes in traffic and others when isolated.

| Description | Cruise control shuts off while I am using it without warning and then will not allow me to reengage it. Happens frequently, approximately 2 times a week while I am driving to/from work (about 45 miles each way). Turns off randomly, usually after driving for 30 min. When it shuts off there is only a 2 second beep noise as it is shutting off and no visual messages or warnings. When I try to reengage it, it only gives a quick beep noise but does not turn back on until the car is completely stopped. I brought the vehicle to 2 honda dealerships 3 separate times for a total of 4 days to get looked at. No one was able to provide a fix. The 2nd time I brought it into honda, they were able to reproduce the problem but still did not know how to fix it and advised me to bring it to the dealership I leased my vehicle from. This is a big problem because out of nowhere my vehicle will begin to slow down with no warning at all. |

| Description | My cruise control shut itself off during interstate driving with a car behind me. This seems to be a widespread issue per owner forums for the 11th generation 2022 model civics of all varieties. I did not have the driver attention system on, was driving at night, and was not using adaptive cruise control. I have not gone to a dealership yet because per others' experiences it has been a waste of time. I am calling to let my dealer know of the issue and have them tell me when there is a solution. The issue has just appeared for the first time, my car is at ~1,000 miles, and I've had it for about 12 days. I have done very little driving with cruise control but will do a significant amount now. I believe this to be a safety issue. No warning lights come on and I'm order to reset cruise control, I needed to pull to the shoulder, restart the car, which is dangerous enough. |

| Description | Cruise control (either in adaptive cruise control or regular) disengages randomly and if you attempt to restart the cruise, the cruise control will not work. The cruise control icon will appear on the center display and beep, with the words "cruise control off", to get this working again, the only way I've found is to stop the car and either put it in park and/or shut off the car or turn it back on. The problem seems to happen at random, and so the dealership at this point can not help me. This does not seem to be an isolated incident as others have been posting online about the exact same issue. ( see the following forum posts on https://www. Civic11forum. Com/threads/anybody-having-cruise-control-issues. 963/ ). Perhaps this is a software issue with the cruise on the new models... Hopefully honda can get an update out fast! Disappointing that such a dangerous issue exists at launch of the new model... |

Two weeks ago two days in a row I have got a warning that there is a problem with the supplemental restraint saying it's with the airbag or seatbelt and to shut the vehicle off and to restart and to contact a dealer if it persists. I shut the vehicle off and turn it back on and the error clears. The same thing happened last night after I got home from work and unbuckled my seat belt on 9/29/21. Others on a honda civic form online for this year car have reported the same problem and there doesn't seem to be a fix yet |

I have a 2022 Honda Civic, it has 6,000 miles and I’m having problems with the steering wheel sticking at any speed and a noise from the front that makes it constantly (but at the time it was checked it didn’t) I took it to service the day of today and they tell me that for Honda that is not a problem. I’m worried that this could cause an accident.
I leased a Honda Civic Sport 2022 and was at a stop sign a little bit over and I put it in reverse to back up a little. The cars engine reved up and the brakes would not work. I hit a tree in my neighbors yard and there was damage. I took it to Honda and of course they stated the car was fine. I decided to claim it on my insurance. Well they have had my car for five months with no idea when they will release the part. I have asked Honda to help with this issue and they have done nothing to help me. I will never deal with Honda again and advise others to follow suit.
I am having steering issues with a 2022 Honda Civic Sport. The steering is sticking, and then will release suddenly causing an over correction.
While driving on the freeway with the cruise control, lane departure on and going about 75mps the car suddenly started breaking on it’s own. Then warning lights on the dash started flashing. Saying there was a malfunction with the breaking system, cruise control and lane departure system. When I pulled over turned the car off and then back on everything seemed to be working just fine. Have had issues with lane departure and ghost breaking a few other times before. The car likes to pull into big rigs that are in the next lane.
My son wrecked our 2022 Honda Civic sport in March. He was on the highway with his cruise control set and came up behind a truck with a horse trailer. The adaptive cruise control did not slow the car down nor did the the brake assist engage before he rear ended the horse trailer. The car was a total loss. It was replaced by a 2022 Civic Touring. Tonight he was driving the vehicle on the highway and came up behind a vehicle with a low flatbed trailer and the same thing happened except he manually slowed down to disengage the cruise control and avoid the accident. Both instances happened at night.
I am 5’7″ and a70lbs. I have two issues with the 2022 Honda Civic sport Fastening the drivers seat belt is
difficult for me.I can’t align the plunger without having to slide to the left in the seat and make 2-5 tries to latch the seat belt.The latching part three inches higher would work better. The second issue is the drivers head rest,it pushes my head 2 to 3 inches forward of a setting position causing neck and shoulder strain and pain. I am starting to have head aches likely as a result.I only drive 12 miles twice a day for four days a week.
