STEERING
I've been having issues with the steering on my 2024 Acura Integra. It has roughly 8k miles on the odometer. There is an intermittent issue where it feels like my steering gets hung up/takes more effort to make a turn. When the issue recurs on certain drives, but doesn't occur at all on other drives. I've noticed the issue most frequently when traveling on the highway. The issue feels similar to fighting against the lane keeping system, but there are no warning lights and I'm not close to leaving my lane. I've had the issue occur when the lane-keep system is off and cruise control is off so I don't think it is occurring due to the safety systems. I see an open investigation into this issue and a technical service bulletin was released for the Honda Civic SI(same car mechanically). I've informed my Acura dealer, Pohanka Acura in Chantilly, VA. They brushed off the technical service bulletin because its from Honda, not Acura. They're essentially the same car...

Steering feels sticky. It takes more effort than it should to adjust steering when driving straight. This is more noticeable when driving at higher speeds.

STEERING
FOR SOME TIME NOW, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (35+ MPH) AND TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THERE WILL BE RESISTANCE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE MICRO-ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL AS YOU WOULD WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT (TO KEEP THE CAR AS STARIGHT AS POSSIBLE. A BIT MORE EFFORT IS REQUIRED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND ONCE SUCCESSFUL IN DOING SO, THE INPUT WINDS UP BEING TOO MUCH AND YOU HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL NOW IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO CORRECT THE OVER-CORRECTION. ULTIMATELY, YOU WIND UP BOUNCING FROM LANE LINE TO LANE LINE ON FAIRLY STRAIGHT ROADWAYS. THIS IS INDEPENDENT OF ANY OTHER FACTORS INCLUDING LKAS, LANE DEPARTURE MITIGATION AS WELL AS THE STERRING 'DRIVE MODE' (COMFORT, NORMAL, SPORT). I CAN REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH COMBINIATIONS OF ALL OF THESE SETTINGS ACTIVE/INACTIVE. THIS ISSUE ALSO SEEMS TO APPEAR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR INTO ANY COMMUTE.

STEERING
I am having a sticky steering wheel issue and is available for inspection upon request. While driving I have lost temporary control overcorrecting the sticky steering while pulling into traffic and keeping the vehicle in the lane in heavy traffic. It creates an not predictable driving experience and feel extremely unsafe. I notice the steering wheel favors pulling left like its alignment is constantly off to the left. I have taken it to the dealer when it first started happening and we could not repo it then. It is happening more frequently and I will be scheduling a follow up appointment. My vehicle has no been inspected by the manufacturer, police or other insurance representative. There are no associated warning lights or messages. I noticed at first the wheel was pulling left before the sticky wheel problem occurred.

STEERING
At under 3k miles I am experiencing something called “sticky steering.” The steering wheel will get stuck and I would need to use more force to turn the wheel. For example When making turns, the wheel should return back to its normal position when you let go of it. However, with the sticky steering issue, it does not and I would need to forcefully straighten out the wheel. This occurs at both low and high speeds and seems to be more prevalent in colder weather. A quick Google search seems to show a common issue with this generation Acura Integras and Honda Civics.

STEERING
My 2024 Acura Integra is exhibiting the sticky steering wheel event that the Honda Civics are experiencing (EA23003 and PE23005). When driving at highways speeds the wheel becomes "stuck" in one position. When you go to make a small correction there is added resistance and when the wheel does move it moves abruptly due to the extra force required. This causes the wheel to move farther than needed / expected causing the car to abruptly at highway speeds. I've turned off the LKAS system and switched between all of the different steering "modes" to try and correct this. Found out that this is an issue with the Civics and now prevalent in the Integra. Very unsafe. I've also experienced it some on a curvy road which was quite disturbing.

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.

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.
