My 2018 Honda Civic EX developed a steering problem that made the steering wheel difficult to turn. On [XXX], at approximately 67,219 miles, I brought the vehicle to J&L Auto & Tire Center in Nyack, New York, for evaluation.

I am particularly concerned about this behavior because it affects the driver's ability to make small, controlled steering corrections and therefore may affect safe control of the ve
