2023 Acura Integra owner complaints

At approximately 11,000 miles the steering on the car became "notchy". When making minor corrections the steering wheel will lock and require extra steering pressure to overcome stiction in the system, at which point it jumps a bit past the intended position. Grand movements (turning a residential corner) are relatively symptom free. Symptoms are most noticeable when traveling at speeds above 35mph and when the road is relatively straight. Initially, this was very annoying, but as it gets worse it could certainly be a safety concern as it affects the precision and smoothness of the steering system. If the system were to fully seize all steering control would be lost. The symptoms present after the car is warmed and appears normal when cold.

Within the last two weeks I have noticed that when I reach cruising speeds of above 45-50mph my steering wheel will lock up when going in a straight line. It requires extra effort to get the steering wheel to respond. It sort of pops back into being able to steer. This is particularly unnerving when trying to make subtle adjustments when driving at cruising speeds. The component has not been checked out, I have no warning lights or notifications. This this started to appear at about 8000 miles on my odometer.

Steering wheel gets very stiff and while driving and I do not feel safe driving my car. I already took it in to the dealership for a diagnostic but they said everything is fine. They didn’t repair anything and my car is still having the same issue.

Extra resistance and steering effort when using steering wheel to make small corrections to stay in lane; steering effort feels “sticky.” Occurs after approximately 20 minutes of freeway driving.

At speeds above 45 MPH, especially during cold weather, the steering wheel behaves in a "sticky" manner. It requires substantially more force to turn it from the center position.

The steering is malfunctioning. When driving at medium to high-speed, the steering wheel feels somewhat sticky. This is most noticeable when on a straight stretch, or on a slow curve. When the car was new, the steering was responsive to subtle inputs. Now, the wheel seems stuck, and it requires an unexpected amount of Torque to overcome the stickiness. This has not caused an accident, but causes a maddening amount of wobbling around within my lane, especially on a road trip. My safety is put at risk because subtle adjustments while driving, often require a second stronger effort. For example, while driving today, I had to dodge some road debris. My initial input to the wheel did not produce a change in direction and so I had to exert a larger input - this reduces the predictability of the

Hi. Our 1-owner, 13,500-mile, 2023 Integra started experiencing “sticky steering” back in October 2023, which has gotten worse. It happens at all vehicle speeds, and in each of the three driving modes. It has gotten annoying, and seems quite unsafe. Especially for our inexperienced son (18). Sudden correction/overcorrection of steering input has the vehicle wandering off line, and jerking side to side; when none of this was experienced in all the months prior. We are bringing the vehicle in to our dealership (Maus, Tampa, FL) next week. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While at cruising speeds the steering rack seems to grab when doing micro adjustments to keep straight and I have to apply more pressure which causes a small jerk in the steering

When driving at highway speeds, the steering of the car feels like it gets stuck, especially when trying to change lanes.. When turning the steering wheel to change lanes, it doesn’t do anything until you give it a little tug more to change lane. There’s also a problem when going over 40MPH over a slight bend, the car doesn’t turn until you tug the wheel more to whichever way the road is going. It’s pretty dangerous especially when you need to avoid an accident, any little bit of over correcting or under correcting can cause you to be the cause/victim of an accident.

When driving on the freeway, I started noticing the steering would stick when attempting to make slight movements to follow the changes in the road. I would have to put more effort into my steering to correct it and it would feel sticky immediately. This happens on the whole trip where I'm constantly having to correct it slightly left and slightly right, with more effort, as if the power steering system was low on fluids, which makes it a very uncomfortable. I do not know if this will get worse to the point that it will take even more effort to correct the steering or even lock itself in one position which can lead to dangerous for myself and any occupants. This vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I have an appointment with the dealership tomorrow morning for them to take a l

This car has about 9,000 miles on it and it now has issues with the steering wheel sticking and jerking when it gets above ~50mph. It feels difficult to keep between the lines on the highway because the steering is not functioning as it used to. So much that the car flagged a warning as “driver attention low” and recommended I take a break. My attention was incredibly high because of the steering issue but I could not keep the wheel from jerking in small increments back and forth. This is now happening every time I get above 50mph.

Steering feels sticky/grabby. Slight adjustments at speed. Happens in turns as well. Seems to be worst at higher speeds.

I'm experiencing sticky steering at highway speeds. While traveling in a straight line and needing to make small adjustments, the steering gets stuck for a second, then releases. This happens over and over.

The steering sticks while trying to keep the car driving in a straight motion. The speed doesn't seem to matter. It feels as if the steering wheel is constantly fighting me. Sometimes it makes me drift towards other cars next to me while I'm fighting to keep it center.

For the past few months, my car has been experiencing a recurring issue with the steering wheel feeling inexplicably stuck. This concern poses a severe safety risk as it occurs almost every time I'm behind the wheel. Whether I'm driving on the highway or in the city, attempting to make slight adjustments to the left or right results in the steering wheel becoming rigid, demanding additional force to maneuver. This scares me as it can lead to an inability to avoid a hazard on the road. This increased force often leads to an over-adjustment, causing the vehicle to veer more than intended, a hazardous situation, especially on the highway. Driving my car has become an alarming experience, and I find myself feeling extremely anxious each time I take it out on the road. Upon conducting thorough

Steering gets “stuck” during highway driving, requiring extra effort to move. This happens in curves and straight line driving. The issue is worse in colder temperatures, and has become more prominent with more miles.

I was driving on December 19, 2022 and noticed difficulty steering at cruising speeds (45mph). The steering became resistant to small movements. It did not move smoothly when I turned it to make minor adjustments, it required extra force to move from a still position. Once I applied enough force to turn, it turned freely. At low speeds such as turning in a parking lot, I did not notice any problems, but upon reaching approx 40mph, I did notice the problem. This makes the vehicle more difficult to operate in an unexpected manner and makes a collision more likely, thus putting the safety of myself, my passengers, and other drivers at risk. There were no warning lamps or messages. The only related symptom was that the CarPlay navigation display was not updating regularly during this drive.

Steering gets “sticky” or “notch” feeling sometimes.

For the 6th time, my 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec with the 6spd manual transmission has completely shut off. While the immediate thought might be that I stalled or the auto stop/start engaged, that's not the case here. The car completely shuts off. Almost like a hard reset, the engine dies, and the electrical system shuts down. In several of the cases, some features like lights, still work. But in others, everything dies. Locks, radio, wipers, lights. It takes awhile to restart the car. This happens when I come to a complete stop and then when I put my foot on the clutch and on the gas. This has happened in warm and cold Temps (ranging from 25°F to 75°F ). In 3 of the cases, the auto stop/start (acura calls it idle stop or something) was disengaged/turned off because I was in sport mode. P

Brake pedal has to travel almost to the floor to gain braking traction. Feels like the brakes have 50K miles on them. Car has 7,500 miles currently. Matches the current recall. Dealer would not look at or fix due to my VIN number didn't match up in the recall.
