Typical steering symptoms owners report

Steering feels sticky or notchy, especially at highway speeds above 40 mph, and resists small adjustments.
Extra force is needed to turn the wheel, and once it 'unsticks' the car can jerk left or right suddenly.
Some owners report the steering pulls to one side and requires constant micro-adjustments to keep the car straight.
Dealers have identified the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) gearbox as the failing part in some cases, with replacement parts on backorder.
Owners note the issue mirrors a known recall on other 11th-generation Civic trims, but say their Si trim was not included in that recall.
The sticking sensation reportedly gets worse over time, with some drivers describing it as a rigid, gear-like clicking feel through the wheel.
