  • Is there a vinal, rubber, or plastic cover or coating on your wheel? If so, it's becoming sticky because the hot sun is causing the vinal/rubber/plastic to expand and stretch. This is the first step to melting. Or it could also be humidity. Both of them can happen.
  • '8bitlove' answered the question correctly. I'm responding to your comment. The way to help stop (not completely stop - that's very difficult) the stretching and stickiness is to cover the wheel. You can install a windshield shade that will keep the car cool and keep the wheel in the shade. I'd recommend using ArmorAll protectant but you can't. It makes the surface slippery and therefore it dangerous to use on a steering wheel.
