NHTSA Complaint #11698187 — 2017 HONDA CR-V

When driving the vehicle the steering wheel sticks when I turn, change lanes, etc. It is most noticeable at highway speeds. If I am moving to the left, the steering wheel sticks and doesn't want to freely move back to the right/straighten up. Obviously the reverse occurs when I go to move to the right- it sticks and pressure is required to straighten the steering wheel. to date the steering wheel has not remained in a stuck position. This presents a major safety concern - if it doesn't move freely back to the desired position there is heightened chance of a traffic accident resulting in damage to my car and other cars involved. Worst case scenario: a serious accident resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO MYSELF as well as any other drivers and/or passengers involved. NOTE: My local Honda dealer reports that there are NO recalls or Service bulletins on my vehicle, based on the VIN number. Other VIN numbers of the same make and model year as mine (2017 CR-V) ARE subject of a recall (Honda Service Bulletin # 18-103, regarding faulty Steering Gearbox.) For that reason I feel my vehicle should be included and repairs made at no cost to me.
