1. On multiple occasions, the adaptive cruise control has slammed the brakes at freeway speeds with no vehicles in front or next to me. The dashboard display showing vehicles in proximity indicated no new vehicles were sensed during these incidents (meaning the automatic braking was randomly triggered with no visual or audible warning). On one occasion at night, I was in the left lane of the freeway at going 75mph when this system slammed the brakes, slowing me to almost 40mph, causing the car behind me to have to swerve into the left shoulder to avoid rear-ending me. 2. The lane-keeping assistance will randomly start steering the car towards the edge of the lane. Sometimes it will actually steer the car over the lane markers, triggering the lane-departure warning, which proceeds to fight the lane-keep assist’s steering to keep the car in the lane. This will even occur after having steered the car correctly in the middle of the lane for some time. This poses a risk when the current lane is adjacent to a highway median, when there is a car in the lane next to me, or when there is no shoulder on a highway. I have had the ADAS systems on my 2023 Acura Integra recalibrated twice in the last 4 months and neither issue has improved. This is a major safety issue with Acura’s ADAS system which I have not experienced while driving multiple cars of other brands with the same feature set.

My car’s amplifier died. Now they’re trying to charge me like $2,000. I check online. Other people reported the same complaint coming with heavy price to fix it. Plus if they did replace the amplifier, it’s not granted that it won’t died in 1-3 years again.
I own a 2023 Acura Integra, and the sound system suddenly stopped working — there’s no audio from the speakers, even though the display and radio functions appear normal. I’ve seen multiple videos and posts online from other Acura owners experiencing the exact same issue, which suggests this may be a widespread electrical or audio system defect. All fuses and battery checks came back fine. This may indicate a deeper issue with the car’s electrical system or amplifier that’s not being properly addressed by the manufacturer. I believe this issue should be investigated for a potential recall or service bulletin, as many 2023 Acura Integra owners appear to be affected. Also I am unable to attach videos of what’s going on with the car due to it being photos only.
The Intermittent sticky steering wheel is back once again! So what was the whole-point of getting it fixed the first time under the recall when it’s going to happen again later on along the line. Now the car is approaching 50k and back to the dealer we go to see if they can replicate the problem to get it fix under the warranty. If not just going to have to wait and see if other integras is having the same issues.
Keep having problems with brakes after taking the vehicle in to the dealership multiple times. They are generating a noise every time I hit the brake.
Active but slow leak of oil coming from the front of the valve cover of the motor. The leak is leaking from the top down the block and eventually gets burned off or leaks onto the engine mount. The vehicle will be taken to the dealership for this issue and hope to get it looked at soon as the car has 27000 miles. From my understanding from the forums this is a common issue on this motor which needs new new valve cover gaskets to resolve the issue.
The brakes squeak and squeal loudly when the car is cold and reversing. I took it to the acura dealership that I bought it from to get it looked at. They were able to reproduce the sound and said the sound was coming from the vsa (vehicle stability assist) . They compared it to a "known good vehicle" and said it made the same noise. Essentially the dealer said all cars of similar make and model have this issue and make this noise so no repairs were done or necessary. See attached document

In December 2024, I brought my 2023 Acura Integra to the local Acura dealership to address a recall related to a steering gear manufacturing defect, as well as to perform an oil change. The service department at Acura efficiently completed the work on my vehicle in one hour. On December 24, 2024, while operating the vehicle, the dashboard lights illuminated, and the steering wheel abruptly veered to the left, leading to a collision with large stationary rocks (boulders) alongside the road. The vehicle was required to be towed to a collision repair facility. The insurance claim has been submitted, and a police report has been filed. The collision shop performed a thorough inspection of the damage, and their analysis indicated that the cause of the accident is related to the steering system. The Acura Dealership has been informed of this information, and a claim has been submitted to Honda/Acura Manufacturer. No one from Acura has yet to send some one to inspect or investigate this matter.

While driving a 2023 Acura Integra with a manual transmission, and when performing a three-point turn on a residential street with a 25 MPH speed limit, I noticed the manual gearbox shifter was very stiff and difficult to shift the vehicle into a gear, despite having the clutch pedal pressed completely down. No warning lights, messages or other alerts were displayed on the dashboard. No other vehicle symptoms were noted prior to this incident. This incident posed a potential safety risk, as the vehicle was stuck in the middle of the road in direct line of traffic and needed to be pushed out of the road to avoid potential collision with other moving vehicles. The vehicle was inspected by both a dealership and the manufacturer, who both stated based on a computer scan of the vehicle, which revealed Engine Code P0219 Engine Over-Speed Condition, caused physical damage to the transmission as a result of an improper downshift. Details indicated the car was allegedly downshifted improperly at a speed of 67 MPH with an RPM of 5,551. I am unsure how this issue could have happened, as I have never abused the transmission, and have always driven the car in a responsible manner in which it is intended to be driven. The vehicle has always been serviced by an Acura dealership and have never had any prior issues. The vehicle is also still new and under warranty, however I was told they will not be covering this incident under warranty as they claim there was alleged physical damage. Neither the dealership nor the manufacturer could provide me with a time stamp or other data to substantiate their claim of physical damage, so I am unable to isolate the alleged incident to a specific date or time of occurrence. I do not see any open recalls relating to the transmission or gearbox, however I do see one open recall (VJV 2023-25) which says the steering gearbox worm wheel may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause the wheel to swell when hot or damp. Please investigate.

The contact owns a 2023 Acura Integra. The contact stated that while driving on a ramp at approximately 30-35 MPH, while turning to the right, the steering wheel continued turning a complete 360 degrees, causing the contact to lose control of the vehicle and crash into a nearby wall. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle received structural body repairs and the worm gear spring was replaced. The contact learned that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering) after the repair. The contact mentioned that the vehicle prior to the crash experienced a sticky steering wheel. There were no injuries sustained and no medical attention was needed. A Police report was filed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 16,700.
Crash
Driving straight and want to turn slightly but the steering wheel HEAVILY resists which produces a sticky steering feeling at highway speeds. This is a steering rack defect which is commonly experienced among 2023+ Integra owners.
A drunk driver ran into the back of my car as soon as the light turned green. I just release my break and h9t hit going about 70mph. The airbags never went off at such a great impact. The car was totaled.

The contact owns a 2023 Acura Integra. The contact stated while driving at 55 MPH, the steering wheel seized, and the brake pedal was depressed to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and the steering failure message was displayed; however, the power steering functionality had not returned. The vehicle was driven to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer had confirmed that the steering wheel had seized. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall on the VIN for the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.
I recently purchased a this vehicle approximately two weeks ago and have since noticed a recurring problem with the steering. Specifically, the steering feels like it "sticks" when driving on a straightaway, making it difficult to maintain a smooth, consistent path. Initially, I thought the steering was simply stiffer compared to my previous vehicle, but after driving it for a couple of weeks, it has become clear that this is an ongoing issue. The steering tends to become jerky when I try to make small corrections to keep the car centered in its lane, which compromises the smoothness and control of the vehicle.
at highway speeds steering sticks making it so i have to put temporarily more force into it.
The steering wheel seems to stick while trying to make adjustments and when it unsticks it jerks the car around. At first it was only at higher speeds and wasn’t as bad, but after a while it’s happening at low speeds. It sticks during curves which makes it really dangerous. There is an audible clumping sound now whenever making slight adjustments and turns. The sound is also heard when turning the steering wheel at a complete stop. It’s been happening since November. I avoid freeways now because of how dangerous it can be. The adapted lane keep assist also struggles with steering the car because of this.

The steering wheel “sticks” so that extra force is needed even to make tiny adjustments. This causes the car to over correct and is dangerous to drive. I will no longer let my teenage children drive the car.
When driving the vehicle over 40 mph's the car will not allow for you to readjust the lane alignment without having to jerk on the wheel. When making a turn on an exit ramp the wheel will "stick" into place instead of naturally moving with the turn. This causes you to jerk your wheel in turns and potentially lose control of the car.

The steering wheel gets stuck when driving Dealership stated that’s under investigation but this is a safety issued that can cause a accident and death
Electronic steering appears to cut on and off briefly when driving. This happened multiple times in a five mile trip. It sounds like this is the "sticky stearing" issue already under investigation for Honda/Acura.
Sticky Steering wheel. Difficult to adjust steering. Small adjustments causing large swaying in lane.
The steering wheel sticks at times so I cannot steer the car safely. I brought the car to the dealer and they said it is fine and there is nothing wrong with it. I have read on line many other people with the same problem. They had their steering components replaced and it fixed the problem. The problem is still occurring daily.
The steering wheel occasionally "sticks" when trying to turn the wheel at medium speeds. It still turns but it is harder to turn and not smooth. From what I can tell, this issue is similar to the steering issues present in Honda Civics, which share the same drivetrain.
At 10k miles, my '23 Acura Integra, made a strange noise, coming from the rear passenger tire. sounded like a few rocks went around the wheel. There were no rocks in the road, so I parked & checked my tire sensor on the dash & the rear passenger tire sensor read as "--" instead of the pressure number. I got out, took a look, there was nothing visibly wrong. after leaving work, I checked the tire again, nothing visibly wrong. I left the parking lot, drove maybe 2mins down the road & the tire sensor number came back on & read "35" this time. so I thought nothing of it. a few days later, I noticed the steering wheel felt different. again, not visually but physically. The steering wheel sticks requiring an abnormal amount of effort to steer the vehicle in the desired direction. It started out noticeably on highways or freeways at accelerated speeds but now that I'm at 17k, it is noticeable at any speed on any road, especially if I'm driving straight for a long period of time, moving the steering wheel ever so slightly requires way too much force which can cause over correction while trying to maintain my lane. It is also very noticeable when driving on a curve & trying to steer the wheel back to the center. It feels like it gets stuck in "notches" that you have to force into the direction you need it to go. It makes driving incredibly a daunting task & also feels extremely unsafe to drive. I feel like I'm forced to drive with two hands at all times & really grip the wheel which leads to my hands & wrists becoming strained. That's not normal at all! I literally think about the "sticky steering" the whole entire time I'm driving. It's not fun & I love driving. When I drive my husband's '23 Kia Stinger, I don't even think about this issue. I hadn't noticed that I didn't think about it until I drove his car for an extended time & then got back in my Integra the same day. There needs to be a recall before someone dies!
This vehicle was sold 4.10 with an issue commonly referred to as sticky steering. A bulletin went out July 2023 (23-037) directing dealers to replace the electronic power steering gearbox with a new one. Sticky steering occurs at most speeds. The steering has what I can best describe as pixelated movements rather than smooth. When you are trying to maintain control while driving straight or turn the wheel slightly it seems to jump to the next notch instead of slide smoothly. This often results in slight overcorrection and is very scary at higher speeds or in thicker traffic. You have to fight the steering wheel to maintain control. This condition is extremely dangerous and causes the car to pull to either side with diminished control of the steering.
While taking the vehicle on long drives and driving on a straightaway for a few miles possibly 3-4. The steering becomes very heavy to the sense it’s becoming stuck and electric power steering motor is failing.
FROM DAY ONE ON THIS $43,000 NEW CAR THE STEERING STICKS SO WHEN ON THE ROAD THE STEERING STICKS AND I GET CLOSE TO RUNNING INTO OTHER CARS OR GOING OFF THE ROAD THIS IS CONTINUOUS DURING THE ENTIRE TIME DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN TILL I HAVE DRIVEN FOR A FEW MILES AND DOES NOT SHOW UP ON A TRIP AROUND THE BLOCK BUT DOES SHOW UP SOON AFTER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE PUT IN FOR A NEW PART REPLACEMENT BUT DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL ARRIVE. THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS ON THE ROAD AND BRINGS GREAT ANXIETY WHEN DRIVING IT AND I CAN NOT DRIVE IT MORE THAN A FEW MILES. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON THE ROAD. THIS IS AN ONGOING AND CONTINUOUS PROBLEM.
The steering wheel will stick in place when driving at highway speeds after 15 minutes of driving. It will take greater force than usual to move the steering wheel to correct course.
We brought my son's car in earlier in the year for an issue it was having with its steering ( the steering sticks/locks when attempting to turn the steering wheel left ). The dealer acknowledged the issue and stated that the steering box needs to be replaced. The dealer sent us home with the car saying it was 'safe to drive' and they would call us when part was received. We insisted, however, for the dealer to provide a loaner since we felt any acknowledged issue with the steering is not safe. We have recently been informed from the dealer that the part needed to address the problem is on backorder with no anticipated delivery date and that the next available update will be in August. (BTW - We also have the same problem with the stereo amp, which is on backorder with no anticipated delivery date). I have a couple major problems with this 1) my son's brand new car is sitting in the FL sun/heat getting damaged waiting for an indefinite period of time; 2) my son cannot drive the loaner, 3) and we are being asked to wait several months for an update on part availability for a new car. These are all completely unreasonable situations. I see 1 of 2 options: Honda/Acura - Needs to work with the dealer to figure out how to give my son (17) a car to drive while they wait on replacement parts. I also want permission to bring my son's car home and have it garaged until part is received and repair is scheduled. OR Honda/Acura - Needs to give us a new car (and take back my son's car back) as part of lemon law. It is completely unreasonable for a new car to have such major safety issues and furthermore have the manufacturer and dealer say we have to wait months for an update on part availability. We also have a loaner that my son cannot drive. I would like a response to this situation ASAP before I seek legal action.
The steering will get tight at speeds above 40 mph. The steering tightens up and almost feels like it's a ratchet/gear that catches constantly, it is not a smooth turn how it should be. It is manageable at lower speeds, however on the highway it is very worrisome. The steering is even tighter at highway speeds and gets stuck in position and is hard to turn correctly. I often find myself over correcting trying to get the wheel unstuck from its position, causing me to swerve on the road.
I dont feel safe at all when turning because it feels like the steering wheel is sticking and doesn’t move. Very unsafe feeling.
My car, with less than 18,000 miles on it has begun to have steering which sticks as the car is driven straight. In order to make a correction to the right of left it is necessary to jerk the wheel in that direction to unstick the steering. This is more than an annoyance as it has caused me to veer slightly out of my lane unless I am very careful. I have parked it and am driving my daughter's old car until this can be resolved. It appears from my internet search that this is happening to a lot of Acura Integra owners. The approximate date I am using for the next question is incorrect as this was an ongoing issue every time I drove the car. The dealership here has been excellent and has done all that they can. I have contacted Acura to see when I can expect repair but have received no response.
The steering sticks when the vehicle has been traveling straight for a period of time (time varies, as does speed). The stuck steering requires additional force on the wheel to steer the vehicle, which results in an over correction. It's getting worse and occurring at all speeds, started at only highway speeds. No warning lights, etc. Problem was confirmed by the dealer 3/29/2024. I was told by the dealer that Acura is no longer authorizing replacement of the steering rack under warranty. They can offer no warranty solution at this time.
While driving down [XXX] , the steering felt stiff and almost like it stuck into a certain position. It required far more force than normal to move the steering wheel from its position which almost caused me to change lanes to the right without wanting to. This is not the first time this has happened, but it was a particularly dangerous instance since the steering wheel stuck several degrees to the left of center which would have directed to into the center divide. I took the car to the dealership in March 2024 to discuss the issue and they acknowledged that two other integras had come into the dealership for a similar problem. Not having absolute control of the vehicle is extremely dangerous and the steering sticking into a certain position without Lane Keep Assist influencing the steering is a design flaw and puts drivers at risk.

Since I purchased the Integra over a year ago, I’ve routinely experienced a sticky/jerky steering issue. When driving, the steering wheel will jerk to the left or right continuously and feel stuck in position and difficult to correct. Not only do I have to consistently “fight” the steering wheel to keep the car aligned, I have had the vehicle veer into another lane and swerve towards cars in the neighboring lane due to the jerking motion. Overall, this creates a difficult driving experience - my focus is consumed by the steering, I feel I have limited control of the vehicle, and an overwhelming sense of being uneasy/unsafe when the issue is prevalent. Passengers feel it too. This is most notable when highway driving or going above ~45/50 mph and, oddly, seems to be more prominent in certain weather, particularly during warm, but not hot, days (60-80 degrees). No warning signs or vehicle setting notices display. Issue persists regardless of altering vehicle modes and settings. I have reported this to the Acura dealership twice. The first was early on and I had no reference of others with this experience. The second time, I expressed there are numerous reports of this online. They noted it, stated everything appeared normal, and that they drove the vehicle and couldn’t recreate it, but my Acura app trip history did not reflect this. The concern was dismissed. This is my 3rd Acura sedan - I’ve had an incredible experience with Acura, my dealership, and previous vehicles. I commonly recommend them to friends/family. That said, it takes a lot for me to feel strongly enough to report an issue/negative review, but this driving experience is simply unacceptable and potentially dangerous.
The steering becomes “sticky” and is resistant to turning both at low and high speeds. This results in situations where significant force must be applied to the wheel to create a direction change. It has resulted in sudden movements after “breaking” the steering wheel free from its “stuck” position in the middle. It even affects driver assist systems, which will also demonstrate difficulty managing a steering wheel that gets “stuck” in the middle. The cold and wet seems to make it worse. However this has been an ongoing problem for the last several thousand miles and is definitely getting worse as the miles go by. I have taken the car to the dealership and was informed this is a known issue with no available repair. Seems to be a substantial safety concern that should warrant a repair.
When driving on the highway, the steering wheel gets "sticky". The steering wheel feels like it gets stuck and I have to constantly make slight adjustments against a slightly resisting steering wheel. It makes me feel like I am forced to constantly move the steering left just to stay in my lane even when I'm going in a straight line on the highway.
Steering intermittently feels sticky when turning, requiring extra effort to rotate the wheel. When it occurs steering safely may be harder to accomplish, as it requires more of the driver's attention to correct unintentional movements. Issue is more pronounced when driving at slow speeds/parking and has gotten worse as the car ages. The car has not yet been inspected and the issue has not yet been attempted to be replicated by any service center, though a service is scheduled. There have been no warning lights or messages in the car that warn of this issue since it started about 6 months ago.
Car has about 8,000 miles; noticed "sticky steering" over last 1,000 miles. At highway speed, steering requires more effort even for changing lanes, then it releases while driving straight. Very disturbing to driver; tempted to oversteer. Problem has been reported by other owners on [XXX] No warning lamps. Next step is to bring to dealer INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The vehicle's steering has a "sticky" sensation requiring increased input to allow the vehicle to turn. This makes the vehicle difficult to maintain in a straight line and also results in dangerous steering overcorrection when the steering wheel finally does begin to turn. This creates a dangerous driving environment to myself and other drivers as this issue makes the vehicle difficult to control. The issue started two months ago (January 2024) when the car had approximately 9,000 miles on the odometer. The issue began as intermittent, but is now continuous in all driving conditions. There are no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms. This issue has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance. My vehicle's problem has not yet been reported to the manufacturer, although there are several complaints available online from those experiencing the same problem with this vehicle. There is currently no recall to correct this issue, allegedly created by a manufacturing defect in the steering box.
Steering constantly sticks and is hesitant and making turns at times. A real struggle.
