Owner's description

Immaculately kept and cared for 2022 civic with 8,000 miles on it has “sticky” and/or “binding” steering, which came on out of nowhere a week or two ago. The problem is more pronounced at highway speeds, but is starting to become noticeable at residential street speeds (25-35mph) too. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY LESS THAN YEAR OLD CAR! Brought it to the dealership yesterday and they actually acknowledged the problem and recommended “a whole steering gearbox replacement”, which is under warranty, but the part has at least a month lead time. Unacceptable! Most dangerous incident took place when I was turning onto my street and in mid-turn the steering wheel got stuck making me have to apply more than normal force and making an over correction. Thankfully, nobody was around so I didn’t hit anyone, but it could have been bad if there was a car in the opposing lane.
