take it back to the dealership. I'm sure you have a warranty to get it adjusted
2022 Honda Civic sport steering wheel not centered.
I recently bought a 2022 Honda Civic sport and after driving about a few hundred miles I noticed the steering wheel didn’t feel centered as I owned a 2020 model prior. The steering wheel feels like it’s more canted to the right slightly. I took it in for an alignment and the guy just drove it through the Hunter quick alignment and said it didn’t have any issues. Which would lead me to believe maybe the steering wheel isn’t centered. I checked the PDI and it shows the technican at delivery checked that the steering wheel was centered. Anybody have any suggestions? I would like to atleast get an idea and see if anybody else has had this problem?

I had this issue on a 21 Corolla hatchback, I took it to a local alignment place that centered it perfectly in 10 minutes. I would avoid going to the dealer since they inept at everything
no big deal, this is very common and is why Honda offers you 1 free alignment the first 12 months/12,000 miles. I’d wait until yours trusts and springs settle in before you use you’re free alignment.I recently bought a 2022 Honda Civic sport and after driving about a few hundred miles I noticed the steering wheel didn’t feel centered as I owned a 2020 model prior.

It's a very minor tie rod end adjustment. Toe- in is correct, rack just needs to be centered.
Have the dealer check it. Is it off-center all the time on all roads ? Some roads have a natural crest to them for drainage, and it can cause the steering wheel to be slightly off at certain times.
Same problem here discovered at around 1000 miles. Is the steering wheel rack off center from the seat? I just noticed that the angel of which you sit, which in turn causes the steering wheel to appear off center. The emblem, down to the very center seem of the steering wheel and to the driver's seat, does not align with the front of the seat cushion. I figured it out by closing one of my eyes while driving (at any rate of speed), centering my vision to the center of the wheel by leaning over slightly, only to notice the wheel appears fine. I did the same thing again with my other eye without moving the wheel, and the steering appeared fine, just from a different angle. Mine looks like it is positioned to the left, slightly, but very noticeable to me. I just noticed the probable (in my case) cause of the problem, after driving it for 34k miles. This is slightly embarrassing due to the fact that I've brought the car to more than a couple of different dealers on more than a few occasions. I was at the dealer for an unrelated issue today, and the advisor told me he didn't notice the problem, though he seemed hurried. I sat in a few different models with older gen wheels, including the new accord with the same steering wheel from the new gen interiors. All immediately felt refreshingly centered. This is extremely annoying, as this is a $35k Civic Touring. I will be posting to the NHTSA shortly.
Saw this thread after experiencing the same exact issue with my hb sport touring. I took it into my local dealership and they ended up telling me not to worry about it and that the roads have a natural slant (even though it’s off center no matter where I drive). Took it into the dealership where I bought the vehicle and did a road test with the foreman and he acknowledged that it was off and suspected the front toe. They proceeded to do an alignment and unfortunately the steering wheel is still off. I almost feel a bit crazy to insist that something is wrong (first ever car that I’m purchasing on my own). But at this point, I’ve just accepted that I’ll have to deal with it.
You don't have to deal with it! Please, file a complaint with the nhtsa. There is absolutely no reason to have to accept it when you're dropping 30k on a civic.Saw this thread after experiencing the same exact issue with my hb sport touring.
