2017 Honda Civic Type R Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“The steering is sticky, especially when driving on the highway in a straight line. It feels as though the steering wheel is locked and you have to apply extra pressure to free it. This can cause the car to jerk and oversteer. It feels very unsafe”

“The steering tends to stick when driving at highway speeds. This issue makes small steering movements jerky and causes over corrections”

“The steering feels like it is sticking, having to correct it all the time to keep a lane”

“This car has an air conditioning issue. Last year the air conditioning stopped working. took it to the honda dealership and they found an issue with the condenser and seals. they fixed it free of charge due to the extended warranty honda put out”
