Sticky steering. More effort required to move steering wheel. Ongoing.

NHTSA complaint 11768049. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

I was sitting in my car with it turned off. About 1.5 minutes after it being off the electric parking brake engaged, which is not normal and I wasn’t parked on a hill.

The dash board showed “Electric Parking Brake Problem” & the E-Brake dashboard display was flashing as well(I have a video but video is not an option for uploading). The alert magically disappeared as well.

Although my 2017 Civic is experiencing the identical defect and is currently unsafe to drive, Honda states my …
