Known problems with the 2022 Honda Civic

4 of the 4 issues we track for the 2022–2025 generation are documented against the 2022 model year, and 1 carries a recall or service bulletin.

• 'Sticky steering', momentary increase in steering effort (recall)

  majorNHTSA 24V-744

  A poorly made worm-wheel/worm-gear set in the electric power steering rack can bind, making the wheel feel notchy or momentarily 'stick' at highway speed, then release. After an NHTSA investigation and years of owner complaints, Honda recalled about 1.7 million vehicles in October 2024, including 2022–2025 Civics (sedan, hatch, Si, Type R, and 2025 hybrids). The free fix replaces the worm-gear spring and redistributes grease; cars still exhibiting symptoms after the recall can get the gearbox replaced under warranty.

  Typical cost: Free under recall

• Fuel pump impeller recall spillover. Check early-build 2022s

  minor

  The Denso fuel-pump impeller defect that hit the 10th generation (recall 23V-858) covers vehicles built through 2020, but some early 11th-gen owners report the same hard-start/stall symptoms and Honda has replaced pumps case-by-case under warranty. Run your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether any open fuel-system campaign applies before paying for diagnosis.

  Typical cost: Free if covered; ~$400–$700 for a fuel pump module otherwise

• Honda Sensing phantom braking / warning complaints

  minor

  NHTSA complaint data for 2022–2023 cars clusters around the collision-mitigation system braking or alarming for overpasses, shadows, or oncoming traffic that isn't a threat. Software updates have improved behavior; a camera recalibration after windshield replacement is essential. No US recall for this as of mid-2026, document occurrences and report to NHTSA.

  Typical cost: $0 (software update / recalibration under warranty)

• Interior rattles and road noise

  minor

  The most common non-mechanical gripe: dash/B-pillar rattles and more road noise than rivals on the 18-in wheels. Dealers resolve rattles with retainer clips and felt under TSB-guided goodwill; tire choice makes the biggest noise difference. Purely a comfort issue.

  Typical cost: $0 under warranty (rattles); tire cost if switching to quieter rubber
