I’ve been having some strange steering issues with my car. It feels like I’m driving something with a bent frame, especially when I go over 40 mph. The front driver’s side wheel pulls to one side, and sometimes it feels like the rug is being pulled out from under me. It really freaks me out. I…
I’ve been having some strange steering issues with my car. It feels like I’m driving something with a bent frame, especially when I go over 40 mph. The front driver’s side wheel pulls to one side, and sometimes it feels like the rug is being pulled out from under me. It really freaks me out. I haven’t been able to get a clear answer from any dealers yet, even after taking it to two different places, and they’re still checking it out. It's kind of funny because I had the same issue with my old Civic Sport, and they never figured it out back then either. No warning lights or anything have come up, but I can really feel the steering acting weird, especially when it’s cold, and that pulling sensation has just gotten worse over time.

On November 8, 2025,at approximately 9:00 a.m. , I was driving on the freeway at approximately 60 to 65 mph. All of a sudden the steering wheel stiffened and locked up and car pulled to right, at same time the engine malfunction light flashed on. This lasted for a moment then steering felt normal and engine malfunction light went off. Car steered normal after that and I exited the freeway to my destination. At around 11:30a.m. I got back on the freeway and after a few minutes my steering wheel stiffened again and locked momentarily and car veered to the right at approximately 60 to 65 mph. The engine malfunction light flashed again and then the steering returned to normal and the engine malfunction light went off. My vehicle is available for inspection. My safety was at risk because when the steering got stiff and locked up momentarily I did not have control of the car. I was traveling at 60-65 mph on the freeway and cars were next to me in the other lanes. Since for this moment I did not have control of the car I could have veered into other vehicles putting others at risk. On December 2,2025 I had car checked by Hollywood Honda (dealer). They checked car and found no history of any error codes. They also test drove the car on the freeway and did not encounter any problems. They indicated the car had no problems they could detect. The car has not been inspected by anyone else. There were no warning lamps,messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to failure . The warning light only came on at time of failure. Since November 8, I have not taken the car on the freeway because I feel it is unsafe. I only use the car on surface streets for now and have not encountered any problems so far.
