What owners wrote
On Sunday, December 14, 2025, I was driving a 2022 Honda Civic Sport with my wife in the passenger seat when the vehicle’s driver-assist/steering system unexpectedly intervened and caused the vehicle to veer off the roadway and down a steep embankment (approximately 40–50 feet) without driver input. I attempted to correct the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to respond as expected. There was no intentional steering command to leave the roadway. The vehicle appeared to steer itself, resulting in a crash.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was sticking and would remain stuck in a turning position without warning. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to regain control of the steering wheel. The vehicle had been taken to a dealer on several occasions where several steering repairs were performed under warranty; however, the failure reoccurred.
