When driving around long, steady curves, in particular, and typically at speeds in the 40 to 60+ mph range, the steering wheel sticks at that orientation to the point that you can feel it doesn't want to move.  When coming out of the curve, or if the turn radius changes requiring you to straighten out a bit, it doesn't want to move back toward center; it requires a bit of effort to get it to \"unstick\" and straighten out.  Once you apply that required force, though, it doesn't unstick smoothly but in sort of a jerking fashion back toward straight, which can cause a bit of an overcorrection.  I see that there is a steering recall of 2018 CR-V's requiring a replacement of the gear box, although my VIN is not included, and I also see that there is a major recall recently for newer Hondas, including the CR-V, that seems to perfectly describe this issue.  Apparently, it's a significant safety concern if they're recalling one to two million vehicles for it, and from all of the similar reviews and complaints I've read from other 2018 CR-V owners, it appears it's long been an issue with this gear box, although only recently acknowledged on the more recent vehicles.  This should clearly be evaluated and reconsidered going back to 2018 when the CR-V redesign happened, as I and MANY other 2018 CR-V owners are and have been experiencing this same issue that's warranted a safety recall on the newer models.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"CR-V","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
