STEERING
When driving, particularly at highway speeds, the steering will stick and get tight, it makes the car difficult to maintain in the lane and requires effort to regain control. It is a dangerous condition. It does not always do it and is sometimes worse than others. This began occurring within the first 1,000 miles, now at about 10,000 miles.

STEERING
Steering wheel sticks when making small adjustments at highway speed, which can cause jerking/swerving. Occurs more often in colder weather and after car has been driven for a period of time. Does not happen consistently and was unable to replicate the issue for the dealership. No warning lights on dashboard.

STEERING
At highway speeds while traveling in straight lines, the steering becomes temporarily hard, almost sticky-feeling where even minor adjustments require unusual effort. The wheel feels like it's locked and with noticeable effort becomes unstuck, causing an over-correction. Only noticeable at highway speeds after driving for a while (engine warm).

STEERING
Steering feel is for lack of a better term, sticky in its steering effort. Sometime is is very fluid, and other times it has more resistance. This can happen with a few seconds, or a few minutes. Sometimes the steering wants to pull to one side or the other, and I have to manually correct it. All steering assist features are turned off to verify that there is no computer related interaction affecting the steering feel and response. This happens in all three drive modes. Has manifested it self more as the weather got colder. Even at a stop light, the steering pressure will change, and I will feel more or less resistance in the steering wheel.

STEERING
After driving for a certain amount of time and above 35 mph, the steering wheel becomes sticky when trying to adjust direction of the car. For example if there is a bend on the highway, the steering wheel will be come stuck for a second before applying a little more force to turn the vehicle.

STEERING
While driving at highway speeds in a straight line, the steering wheel stiffens, and takes effort to adjust steering. Also, sometimes while driving at moderate speeds, the steering wheel gets stuck when taking long left turns and does not revert back to center without forcing it back to center with hands.

STEERING
Sticky steering. After warm-up and driving, the steering ‘catches’ in curves and if not caught, it will stay in a turning position. Does this turning either direction and in any Driving Mode. Acura of North Austin refuses to look into it, stating, after driving it 5 miles over a 4-day period, they can’t seem to replicate the issue and now refuses to work with me toward a solution. This steering issue has gradually become worse over time. I’m afraid of the safety issue and unnecessary wear on the tires. Please help if at all possible!

STEERING
Recurring issue where the steering wheel is sticking/not turning smoothly. This feels as though the car may suddenly overcorrect (such as into oncoming traffic or off the road) when the wheel finally snaps into place as you turn it. It is scheduled to go to to the dealer. There are no warning lights or messages.

STEERING
Car has "sticky steering" issue. When turning the wheel, it feels as if the steering wheel sticks in places, and you need to apply more pressure to overcome the sticking before it turns. If it happens unexpectedly, could cause a jerky steering action in the car, which could potentially lead to an accident. This issue has not yet been confirmed by a dealer - we have not taken it in yet. There are no warnings or lamps or anything.

STEERING
When driving down the highway, trying to make small adjustments to keep the car in the lane, the steering wheel does not want to turn. When it does finally turn you can end up swerving. It has 12k miles and it has only started doing this the last 3-4 weeks. This car is only driven on the highway 55-70mph. Took it into the dealership and explained to them that it only happened on the highway. They took it out for a test drive in the city 35-45, so of course they were unable to repeat it and sent me on my way, without inspecting anything else. Driving down a back road highway could easily cause a head-on collision trying to force the steering wheel to move. There are no warnings of any kind when this occurs.

STEERING
While operating the vehicle we have noticed the steering sticking while attempting to turn the wheel. Usually occurs on the highway or curvy roads. Seems very unsafe as you must jerk the wheel to maintain control. If not, the vehicle will remain locked in the turn and not straighten out.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The steering wheel on all driving modes (sport, comfort, normal and individual) is stiff and sticky randomly at all speeds and both on regular city streets and highways/freeways. The issue comes and goes during both cold and hot weather. It is also stiff when I am doing the driving without lane assistance and also does it when the lane assistance is on. Problem has been going on for about 3 weeks. I also hear a loud thumping sound when the car break is on and the wheel is turned all the way to the left or right.

STEERING
After driving for a few minutes, the steering wheel will require additional effort to steer or keep the car centered in the lane followed by a sudden return to the normal level of effort. This can cause a over correction.

STEERING
I am having issues with the steering 'feel' of my car. I live in Minnesota, and since October, I've noticed the steering feels 'stuck' on center when driving on the highway at speeds of 65mph and over. The wheel takes extra force to move off center, then feels jerky and steers too quickly when moving off center. I mention that I live in a cold state and only noticed the issues when the temperature dropped and think it's worse on cold days. At speeds above 60mph, the steering feels loose and it is hard to keep the car centered in a lane - it always feels like you're driving on a windy day. The problem is much worse at speeds exceeding 70 mph. It seems like the effort required to turn the wheel at speed is variable and always changing. I've also started to notice the wheel will 'fall' off center and jolt slightly to the right or left when sitting at a stop light. I took my car to an Acura dealer on December 4 and expressed my concerns. I thought I had a tire or alignment issue and googled 'Integra sticky steering' on a whim and found that there may be a widespread problem with Honda Civics and Acura Integras, which are mechanically identical. The dealer said they've never heard of any issues. They drove my car with me and said it felt fine. I asked them to get it up to 70 mph but they stayed below 60 mph. The weather that day was above freezing, and I didn't notice the steering feel issues I've observed on colder days. The service advisor said Acura had no technical service bulletins about the issue, and said they called the tech line who claimed they've only had one issue with an Integra somewhere on the east coast. I think Acura is downplaying this problem. I'm worried about the safety of my car.

Steering Wheel sticks in the center position when driving above 30mph. Takes above average pressure to safely drive vehicle in a normal manner. Appears to be an issue with Hondas of the same year models

STEERING
Steering wheel becomes sticky after 40mph and at highway speeds. The steering wheel is very hard to adjust and the smallest movement will cause it to jump, stick to either side. The car is constantly swerving because there is no smooth movement or adjustability on the steering wheel. When parking and steering there is noise coming out of the steering column when the steering wheel is moved.
