2026-10-14 · steering · ODI 11771087

Steering wheel is glitchy and sticky when changing lanes or turning. Feels stuck at times. Dangerous to operate. Suspect same issue in existing recalls for other years of Honda CR-V. The 2029 needs to be added to this safety recall (gearbox etc?). You have other reports in file from 2029 owners. It’s time to take this seriously and make official recall.
