In owners' own words
When driving at 70-75 mph with adaptive cruise set, the steering wheel feels like it locks and wonât turn But when you add force, it breaks loose. This is not lane keeping assist, it is something different. It is getting worse but the Honda Dealership says they canât replicate it. It appears to be getting worse over time and Iâm afraid it could cause an accident by completely locking up the steering wheel. Steering

On 1/24/2024 I experienced an issue with "sticky steering" which made my vehicle difficult and unsafe to drive. I felt that it was difficult to keep my vehicle in a single lane. This issue has already been reported to the NHTSA by other owners of the same vehicle. The vehicle is scheduled to have the issue reviewed on 2/5/2024 at the selling dealership. There were no warning lamps when this issue happened. Steering
