While driving I'm having difficulting staying in the center of my lane because my steering wheel is not allowing minor steering adjustments without sticking in place temporarily. I need to apply more pressure than expected to turn the wheel before it unsticks. My local Honda dealer recently replicated this behavior on a test drive and is recommending I replace my EPS gearbox, outlined in a service bulletin issued by Honda related to this symptom (Service Bulletin/Manufacturer communication: 23-037). Honda has agreed to pay 50% of the repair since I am out of warranty - my mileage on my vehicle is a little over 41K. I am asking Honda to pay for the full repair given the related EPS saftey recall they have issued, but they have not agreed to do this yet. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to experiencing these steering problems.

The rear windshield on my 2023 Honda Civic suddenly shattered so heavily that I could not see through it. Absolutely nothing hit it to cause the shatter. Soon after, the whole windshield broke and glass went all over the backseat of my car. This is a known issue with Honda. Corporate said it should be covered as I still have the 3yr/36k miles warranty in effect. The dealer says it's not covered. I am now fighting this with corporate. Dealer says that regardless, it will take 2-3 WEEKS for them to get a new windshield, as they are so back ordered. I wonder why? Even Consumer Reports states that Honda is fully aware of the issue on many models.

I am writing to bring to your attention a safety recall on my vehicle. On several occasions, I have visited the Lancaster Honda Dealership, located at 43244 Drivers Way, Lancaster, CA 93534, to request an appointment for the necessary repair. However, I was informed that, as I am not a customer of their dealership—meaning I did not purchase my vehicle there and have not had it serviced recently—they are unable to assist me. I was told that they only receive two repair kits per week, and these are prioritized for their customers. The last Honda dealership where I had my vehicle serviced is located in Long Beach, CA, approximately 90 miles away. Since I now reside in Lancaster, CA, I believe it is unreasonable to expect me to travel that distance to address this safety recall. I kindly request that this matter be investigated further to ensure proper resolution.
