STEERING
When approximately 50+ mph, steering corrections when going straight are met with momentary increased steering effort which require me to force the steering wheel to turn before it reacts normal. It is not intermittent, but occurs each time. The effort required also seems to increase the longer the car is being driven during any given trip.

STEERING
After driving at highway speeds (55-65 mph) in a straight line for a period of 15 minutes, the steering wheel becomes completely stiff and difficult to turn to make small corrections to stay within my lane. This typically happens on cooler mornings after the car has had a chance to warm up and no significant curves exist in the road or turns are required. I am able to overcome the resistance from the steering wheel to maintain my lane with two hands but have come close to over-correcting while driving with one hand (the other was on the shifter) and almost went into the occupied lane next to me. The effort to overcome the resistance from the steering is fairly consistent. No warning lights have appeared when I started having this issue with the steering. The problem appeared when I reached 2500 miles on the odometer. I have not had the vehicle examined by the Acura dealership but plan to very soon. No other official in law enforcement or insurance has looked at the vehicle either

STEERING
“Sticky steering” wheel. When executing a turn the wheel will stick in a position and not return to center unless force is used to “unstick” the steering. This happens regardless of drive mode settings and driver assist settings. Much more pronounced at highway speeds and I am concerned as to the overall safety of the car, especially if I have to make a defensive maneuver at highway speeds. I took the car into my local dealer and while they confirmed my suspicions, they said that Honda/Acura did not have a fix. No warning lights have come on in the vehicle. I have read that similar complaints were filed on certain 2022 and up Honda civic models.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The rear window defroster does not operate to normal standards on the rear windshield. For example, it took almost 30 minutes for the rear defroster to begin working from the time it was powered on. This was on a relatively warm day, with condensation on the back windshield. Rear visibility was affected on my drive. I do plan to have the dealer inspect since it's a brand new car, but have not yet. No warning lights, etc. Multiple complaints on Integra forum similar to this complaint.

STEERING
TThe problem occurs while driving at freeway speeds. When adjusting the wheel slightly to the right, from off center, the wheel sticks a bit. It's as if it's stuck in a notch. This first occurred when the car was a little over a year old with around 8000 miles on it. We took the car to CardinaleWay Acura in Las Vegas on [XXX]. They confirmed that it is a known issue. They told us that Acura did not have a solution at this time, and they would notify us when they do. We have yet to hear back. This was concerning to us, as we read about accidents associated with this defect. We also read about instances where Acura did provide a Steering Rack replacement as a solution. We do not know why this option was not provided to us. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SEAT BELTS, STEERING
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
The issue I experienced is with the steering. Intermittently, the steering will 'freeze' or stick and requires MUCH more force to turn than normal. It is mostly evident when going in a straight line and trying to make slight steering input. The additional force to 'unstick' the steering often causes too much steering input, resulting in over-correction. This issue makes it very difficult to stay centered in a lane, and sometimes the over-correction results in going into another lane. The dealer acknowledged there was an issue but stated no corrective action could be taken until Acura sent a TSB or recall. This is unacceptable as it is often a safety risk. The inconsistency of the issue also is a safety impact as certain times the steering seems normal while others require at least 3-4 times the effort to make even a small adjustment. First occurrence is listed below but issue has occurred on almost every drive since that date.

STEERING
Steering sticks. Steering sticks every time vehicle is driven more than 15-20 minutes at highway speeds with and without lane keeping assistance on. Very uneasy feeling driving this vehicle. First noticed problem the day after I purchased this certified preowned dealer loaner Acura Integra A Spek vehicle with 4000 miles on Jan 3, 2024. Reported problem to Acura Dealership where I purchased vehicle on February 8, 2024. Awaiting guidance from dealership and Acura representative.

STEERING
The electric power steering sticks when driving and does not self return. It sticks in one position. It seems to be worse on highways or at higher speeds, it will stick at a given angle or position. This is something that can be inspected upon request. Our safety is put at risk due to increased steering effort required which can cause perking motion from the position it's sticking in. It also is an ergonomic issue with having to constantly correct the stiffness. The dealership is aware of the issue but it has not been addressed or inspected for the issue. It is easily reproducible for it to be addressed. There are no warning lights for this issue.

STEERING
I have been having this issue for over 6 months where the steering wheel get slightly stuck and I have to make an effort to correct the wheel. It is a constant need to correct the steering left and right. It becomes very tedious to drive and I am worried the steering is getting worse.

STEERING
The steering wheel sticks and/or takes more effort to turn when traveling >30MPH. The steering wheel does not return to center on its own at these speeds. When the steering wheel sticks during a turn (as if it were in a notch) it takes more effort to get the wheel out of the notch and I have over corrected in a turn multiple times because of the extra force needed to turn the wheel. Symptoms started around 3500 miles, 3 months into ownership. Issue is inconsistent, not easily replicated except under precise driving conditions. at speeds <30 MPH, the issue is rarely present.

STEERING
On 1/19/24 I took my 2023 Acura Integra in for an oil change at an Acura dealership. I notified the service desk staff member that for the past couple months I have been experiencing a sticky/notchy steering issue. I also mentioned that this issue has been reported frequently online with the other 2023 integras and other Hondas around the same year. Fortunately, I was able to accompany the service manager while he performed a quick test drive and he confirmed the issue at speeds of approximately 30mph. That day the dealership contacted Acura and determined that my steered rack needed to be replaced, however they would need to order a new steering rack. After over a month of waiting for the new part, there is no ETA when the dealership will receive the new steering rack. The dealership found that there were no logged errors. This issue still persists daily and makes it difficult to maintain the center of the lane when driving at speeds higher than 30mph. My car currently has approximately 13,000 miles and was purchased in October 2022.

STEERING
When traveling in a straight line for more than a few seconds, it becomes noticeably more difficult to make small adjustments in steering. The additional force required increases the risk of steering more than intended, and often requires an immediate correction in the opposite direction. This is more noticeable at high speeds, but is almost always present after 20-30 minutes of driving. This is reproducible regardless of steering mode or lane keeping assist being active.

STEERING
Steering wheel sticks at speeds over 20 mph. On the freeway, you have to overcome the resistance the steering wheel provides and has resulted in slight over correcting of the steering to remain on intended course. The car is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others are at risk if I make a poor over correction, which could cause me to lose control and/or crash in to other vehicles. No inspections at this point, I have an appointment with the dealer. No warning lights or other symptoms of the problem.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, STEERING
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.
