The Steering Rack and EPS motor were replaced by Honda. However, this should be documented as it was an unsafe situation.  Starting at 20,000 miles I noticed some odd steering behavior. Above 42,000 miles the steering situation got increasingly worse. The steering wheel would get stuck at a position and take an unusual amount of force to get it to change. This would occur normally at speeds above 40mph. It was most noticeable when making a minor steering adjustment after not moving the wheel for a while. This occurred turning in both directions and when driving in a straight line or \"locked in\" a curve. It was worst at temperatures 35-55F and once the car was driven 20 minutes or more. After 20 minutes it would progressively get worse. It did not occur at low temperatures around 10-15F and the steering was noticeably stiffer at these temperatures. It also did not occur when constantly adjusting the wheel around turns. However, as soon as the wheel was held in a position it would start sticking again. The problem occurred with the lane keep assist and lane departure safety features turned off; it appears unrelated to those systems.  The steering would also feel odd when pulling in or backing into parking spots. It felt like you could feel each notch in a gear when turning the wheel.  I was able to overpower the steering wheel. However, I hate to think of what this could do to an inexperienced or distracted driver. They could fail to adjust the steering or panic and put in too much force and loose control. It could also delay a drivers reaction time. This is a safety issue. I feel a recall is needed since this issue can be hard to reproduce by the dealer. There were no warning lights or messages.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"CIVIC","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
