Steering problems

[NFA_Fun]

Been fighting this since day one. The more you turn the wheel to the left the tighter it gets. If you let off the wheel....it will go all the way to the right. Happens forward, reverse, and parked.

There was a new Talon R next to mine when I took it in. You could turn the wheel lock to lock with one finger. Mine you have to really crank on it to go left.

It’s not an alignment problem.

Any thoughts? In the shop again for the second time for this.

Does it do the same with the front wheels off the ground?

I did not try it with the wheels off the ground.

Also, if you let off the wheel while making a left turn, it will turn full lock to the right.

I'd bet that the power steering unit and/or whatever controls it is faulty. From your description it sounds like its constantly trying to assist to the right.

Servicing dealer opened a case with Honda. They know something is wrong, but don’t have it narrowed down yet.

Hope you get it fiqured out, my buddy is purchasing a 2020 Talon R in a couple of weeks and I hope neither of us experience that issue.

It's a Honda safety feature, keeps you from a head on with on on coming traffic! HA!

Update: the dealer reset the computer and that solved the steering issue! Now onto the next...
