Consumer Description

Steering wheel became sticky rather than smooth in hot weather. It did this in the afternoon when it was hot outside. The car wouldn’t just continue to drive straight. I was constantly having to slightly turn the steering wheel to keep going straight. When I turned the wheel it would stick rather than just turn smoothly. Very unstable and constant every day. I paid over $2,000 for repair. Mechanic told me he had done this repair on so many CRV’s that Honda should issue a recall on the problem. I didn’t know about reporting this to NTSB until today.
