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.

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.

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.

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.

STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE

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.

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.

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.

Previously reported car for “Sticky Steering” before ODI Resume and Investigation was launched. Car was at dealership for a few days short of one month. The gearbox was replaced. Since receiving car back, the steering wheel is off center visually and when driving. To continue driving in a straight direction constant pressure has to be applied to center the car to the right. The Lane Keep Assistance will not operate at highway speeds without swerving. Prior to the repair and before the notch steering developed at 9300 miles, the Lane Keep was very smooth and reliable, now it is a safety hazard. Acura stated that this is within normal operating modes. They cannot duplicate Service manager stated that he has customers who would love for their car to drive like this one. The tires are showing signs of wear from pulling. An independent mechanic drove the vehicle and stated that the rack and pinion was most likely installed incorrect with teeth not aligning. No fix but to replace again. Car currently has 12200 miles and has been in service since 4/23.

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.

Was driving on highway when the sun roof exploded. Was able to pull over at nearest exit. Called nearest dealer and Was told to drive it to dealership where purchased which was around 150 miles away. The glass fell on all occupants of the vehicle but fortunately no one was hurt.

There is a separation from the windshield and the A frame on the drivers side. The car has been in multiple times and the service department cannot fix the problem because they claim it is a manufacturers defect. American Honda is saying that because it is "a manufacturing defect", they are not obligated to fix it and there is no fix available and I have no recourse.

Apr 27, 2023

Vehicle only has 6,000 miles and I have an “Emissions system problem” along with “rev match disabled” message on my dash. Engine is now performing at a lower power level. Nothing out of the ordinary occurred before this. No error codes prior.

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.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1 complaint

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.

ENGINE

1 complaint

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

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.

STEERING,SEAT BELTS

1 complaint

There is a squeaky sound from where the seatbelt anchors to the car in the driver’s seat. It mainly sounds like the right side, however, it can be heard when leaning to the left(away from the shift nob). You have to have the seatbelt on while driving, to hear the sound. I’ve taken the vehicle 4 times and thought it was the seat, however, I still hear the sound and only hear it while driving with the seatbelt on. The steering wheel is also starting to slightly stick. I have to apply force to turn and nothing will happen, then it will move in cm increments, not smoothly as it did prior to 10,000 miles.

Steering is sticky. Difficult to maneuver away from straight, particularly at higher speeds (45+). Car does not center in lane when LKAS is engaged, and will often drive out of the lane by itself.

1 complaint

The steering has become "sticky" when turning between the 10 and 12 positions (clock face), at all speeds, slow or highway. It happens mostly when I make a long left turn and return the wheel to its straight "12" position. I get a sticking/stuck/notch feeling through the wheel, which feels like the rack is sticking. At highway speed, this is extremely unnerving.

STEERING,ENGINE

1 complaint

The steering malfunctions consistently while driving and occasionally while parked. The wheel forces itself to jerk back and forth every few seconds and sticks as it does so causing the driver to fight the opposite direction. When parked the wheel still does the same thing after driving. In addition to this issue, the engine auto start/stop feature has to be disabled every drive because when stopped, the engine does not fully restart causing the car to false start and stop again, therefore potentially causing an accident when entering moving traffic.

At speeds around 40-50, the steering begins to 'stick' and makes it harder to drive smoothly and autocorrects. At lower speeds it isn't noticeable. It also just started happening why I hit 2,700 miles on the odometer.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

1 complaint

Was driving at 75 to 80 mph speeds on interstate, and had approximately 4 to 5 seconds (400 feet+ at 75 mph) of clearance ahead of me before the next car. I had cruise control enabled and the adaptive cruise control was on the closest setting. Weather was clear and sunny and there were no visibility issues. The nearest vehicle in front was far beyond the ACC clearance zone. Suddenly the collision mitigation braking enabled and the car braked, beeped, and the warning light flashed. The car slowed suddenly from 75-80 down into the low 60mph range. I then had to tap the brake to disable or acknowledge the warning, resulting in another sudden brake. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the dealer but I have contacted them. Safety of myself was at risk of sudden high speed braking or flipover if I had been in a turn. I also could have been easily rear ended. This happened twice in an hour span on the same drive. I believe both times this happened, the nearest vehicles in front were full size motorcycles.

The calibration for the blind spot is off, it detects there’s a vehicle in the blind spot and beeps when I try to change lanes although the vehicle is clearly behind my vehicle and is safe to change lanes. Another issue is that on the dash when I change songs sometimes on Apple CarPlay it freezes, it plays a song but the title of the song is the previous song that was playing.

I have the Integra Aspec CVT model. It's been 8 months since I bought it, it's close to 10k miles and it was a week ago that it suddenly started to turn off completely as if it were like hard reset. It has already happened to me 7 times. Sometimes he doesn't want to turn back on quick so I have to wait couples minutes before trying to turn it on again and on the screen I get the alert to turn it on with the remote key but my car doesn't have that option. I don't get any error alert in the tachometer, only that suddenly everything is turned off, both the engine and the electrical components.

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. Plenty of gas in the tank. The car is brand new, not even 4 months old with 14000 miles. Each incident has nearly resulted in an accident.
