STEERING
I have been experiencing situations while driving where the steering wheel sticks. It is more prevalent at highway speeds but does happen while driving at lower normal street speeds. You constantly have to correct the steering wheel to keep the car moving in a straight line. I took the car to the dealership, they drove the car and advised it was operating as designed. I cant believe this car was designed to steer and track like it does! You are constantly correct the steering and feel the wheel stick. Any help would be appreciated.

STEERING
My car for the last week has been getting the infamous "sticky" steering when doing highway speeds. It does lead to overcorrection which could be me and other motorist in danger or in harms way. It almost keyword here "almost" got me into a wreck because when trying to pass into another lane, my steering wheel felt stuck and I had to apply some extra force to get into my lane. Luckily, no one was there on the other lane but the overcorrection felt a knee jerk into the lane. No waring lights appear on the dash since the sensor won't pick it up. I have taken my car to the dealership to see if it can be fixed, so far 3 days with no updates and will have to play the "telephone" game to get any updates.

STEERING
The component or system affected is the car's steering. It 'sticks' when driving 35-55 mph in a continuous left or right hand curve. It sticks at slower speeds as well, just not as pronounced. The steering would stay in a 'stuck' position if the driver doesn't make an effort to straighten the steering position. It's truly a safety risk. I'm not driving it any longer on highways because it is getting worse as time and miles pass. The dealer (Acura of North Austin, TX) refuses to spend anytime reproducing this issue, as I took it there for this issue and was basically told there is no problem with the steering after it sat at their dealership for a week and driven a total of 4 (four) miles. This is a very serious safety concern which Acura/Honda needs to address. The Civics of the same year model ARE under recall, but for some reason, the Acura version of the Civic is not. These cars share the SAME COMPONENTS, but the Integra has not been added to the recall. Makes no sense.

STEERING
The steering wheel sticks especially at speeds above 40MPH. While keeping the car centered in the lane, the steering wheel sticks or feels like it going through a notch, while moving the steering wheel back and forth. The wheel sticks in both directions while keeping the car centered in the lane.

STEERING
I noticed that the steering on my vehicle has become "sticky". The steering wheel seems to stay stuck in position while driving. It takes extra effort to move it from the stuck position. It does not take a lot of force to move it from the stuck position, but it is definitely noticable. This is certainly annoying, and I feel this could be a safety issue

STEERING
The steering component has a defect to where when you’re driving and go to slightly turn the steering wheel it feels as if it “gets stuck” and then just gives. It is a safety issue because it causing you to steer harder and then when it gives you are pulling the steering wheel with a little more pressure you almost over correct. Could cause a wreck. It was inspected by dealership and there was no code and “drives how vehicle was intended by manufacturer” they were unable to re create it. I’ve been driving the car since September and just started having this issue 3 weeks ago around 7k miles. I’ve read other integras especially 23’ has had this issue. They won’t replace it until there is a recall for it.

STEERING
The steering wheel is quite sticky when I'm driving and causes some safety concern as the effort to turn my car at high speed is affected. Need a resolution on this one quickly as during tight turn and high speeds this is a big safety issue.

STEERING
Experiencing 'sticky steering' at highway speeds. Steering wheel becomes somewhat stuck and requires more force than should be necessary to make a small adjustment when traveling within a lane. The problem has gotten worse over time as it has become much more noticeable after crossing 15,000 miles. Concerned about future degradation and highway safety.

STEERING
Steering gets sticky hard to steer pull steering to prevent from hitting something and steering loosens and rapidly directs the vehicle in the direction steering wheel was turned to compensate for the sticky steering. Have almost wrecked a dozen times in the last month or two Acura says they can’t do anything about it. Big safety issue.

STEERING
My car has the known "sticky steering" issue associated with this and many '22, '23, and '24 vehicles from Honda. It's been mild and almost imperceptible for a while until recently getting worse. I'd have a hard time knowing when it started; probably 6-8 months ago which was about a year into owning the car.

STEERING
After approximately 15 minutes of driving at highway speeds, the steering wheel felt "sticky." Making small, lane keeping adjustment suddenly took much more effort and felt very notchy and jerky. When turning, the steering wheel did not return to center as normal, but had to forcibly returned to a center position. It was uncomfortable and felt unsafe, like it would be difficult to fully control the vehicle, especially in the event of an emergency. It made the small, normal adjustments of driving much, much more difficult. I made an appointment with the dealer of the car and was told that their was a failure in the steering rack/power steering system that caused the symptoms. I was told parts would take 5 months to arrive. There was no warning light, audio signal, or any other indication that the failure was about to occur. The issue disappears under 40 miles an hour, but reappears immediately once highway speeds are achieved. Once turned off and rested for several minutes the car will steer normally until the same 10-15 minute period of highway speeds.

STEERING
The steering is sticking while traveling a low and high speeds. You have to pull the wheel to break the sticking wheel. This most frequently occurs at highway speeds. This is not occurring due to lane departure or other adas system error as they are not engaged. This has been happening for a few weeks now and appears to be a known issue by Honda/Acura with no recall or resolve.

STEERING
The steering is malfunctioning and is available for inspection. The steering wheel is stiff and sticky at high speeds and when driving in a straight line. Before this began, I could move my steering wheel very smoothly to adjust for minor positional changes within my lane. Now, the steering wheel freezes in place, so a very slight left or right position has be veering towards one side. I have to apply noticeably more force to dislodge the steering wheel from its stuck position to correct the car's trajectory. My safety and the safety of others is at risk. I am afraid that driving at high speeds and needing to make rapid adjustments to avoid collision will be catastrophic due to unnatural steering and needing to apply significantly more force to move the wheel. I have not taken the car to the dealership, however, the problem has been reported numerous times on online forums and confirmed by other dealerships. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone since the car's last oil change 3 months ago. There were no warning signs, messages or symptoms of the problem before it appeared.

STEERING
This issue is very similar (same as) to the issue described in NHTSA Investigation EA23003 (Momentary Increased Steering Effort). The issue occurs at highway speeds after the vehicle warms up. While driving straight there is a slight resistance to a steering change that results in an overcorrection to steering that then will need to be followed by another correction in the opposite direction to keep vehicle tracking straight. The magnitude of corrections in themselves don't force the vehicle out of the lane but are a major driving distraction that removes focus from critical driving activities like monitoring traffic & road conditions. Effectively, this issue prevents optimal vehicle steering position without constant small steering adjustments.

STEERING
At highway speeds my steering wheel sticks when trying to make small steering adjustments. When the wheel finally releases it causes an exaggerated movement in the steering wheel causing the car to jerk left or right depending on the steering input.

STEERING
The steering wheel feels like it is getting stuck when making small adjustments. It requires a momentary increase in force to overcome the resistance which causes the car to not drive smoothly. It seems like the issue is getting worse as time goes on. I am worried that this will eventually lead to an overcorrection and potential crash. I have reached out to the service center at the dealership and have not received a call back yet to resolve this issue. My wife has the same car and she is not experiencing this issue yet but when I drive her car, it makes the steering issue in my car much more apparent in comparison.

STEERING
After I reached about 8K miles, I started to get the “sticky steering”. It’s more noticeable at higher speeds, but it’s noticeable in general. The steering is no longer smooth and while driving, it’s almost like you’re battling with it to keep a straight line.

STEERING
My power steering started out notchy and now it’s actually sticking in some cases and I can hear noises when I turn the steering wheel when I’m at a stop. The problem started after my first oil change around 6500 miles and it’s actually getting worse where I can feel it more and more. I told the dealer and they said they have no fix for the problem with no updated parts and then I should complain on this website to make it known.
