Honda steering problems

Owners have filed 8,250 complaints with NHTSA about the steering on Honda vehicles — 7% of everything reported about the brand, across 58 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Honda Civic, worst in 2022.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
