What owners report
The steering wheel is glitchy. Caused by electronic steering module. Honda has recall for this in newer models. Itâs a problem with 2019 as well. Very dangerous and likely to cause a wreck. It is happening every time we drive. Steering sticks.
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. Itâs time to take this seriously and make official recall.
