My 2024 Honda HR-V has a jerky steering problem when I drive on the freeway is when it happens a lot specially when going in a curve. When my steering wheel gets stuck it causes my Honda to swerve and its dangerous because I don't want to hit a car next to me. I took it to the Honda dealer 3x and they keep telling me nothing is wrong.

I noticed that I did not have any fluid in my wipers when I used the switch, I checked the reservoir and I determined that there was no fluid inside the window wiper reservoir, and there was no indicator light on my dashboard. I contacted Honda with the concerns of what if there’s other lights on the dash that were not going to work and they did not seem super concerned.

My HRV Honda got recall about the unsafe of front seat belt. I brought my car to Honda Dealer and I was told that they don't have part to replace and no ETA at all.
