STEERING
While traveling at low speeds (under 40mph or so) there appears to be no issue. However, when traveling at speeds higher than that, the steering becomes "sticky". This is from the neutral, or forward traveling position of the the steering wheel. There is resistance felt to the wheel while attempting to correct for minor left/right adjustments. Safety of self, passengers, and others is at risk due to the potential of over correcting due to the resistance and force needed to overcome said resistance. It would seem as though this would be replicable, but has not yet been seen by the manufacturer or others. The vehicle can be made available for inspection upon request.

STEERING
My Integra is doing what others have dubbed "sticky steering". About a month ago, I noticed the steering wasn't smooth and felt like it wasn't going to turn (tho it HAS always turned) it just feels like it's sticking. It gets worse sometimes and then I turn the wheel back and forth (once turned off) and it seems to help some, but it comes back happening again where it feels like it sticks. This should definitely be looked into because the feeling when it feels like it's stuck is not good and causes a bit of panic, even though like I said, so far, it has always turned. It's not smooth. There is definitely something wrong. And I see that others are having this same issue. Below details are an estimate. It's not something that happened just once, it's ongoing. But I'll note an approximate date when it started.

STEERING
The steering feels to stick when turning at highway speed. Making minor adjustments to turn is difficult. After aligning straight, the feeling goes away. Doesn’t happen every time and tends to happen after driving a few miles on the highway.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Steering progressively gets sticky and hard to move back to center when speeds are 45 and up. Usually will occur after some highway/higher speed driving. During turns the car will fight minimal adjustments the driver will try and make as well as trying to keep the car centered in a lane. With lane keep assist fully off and on the results are similar.

STEERING
Steering feels sticky, and wheel vibrates when turning it slowly in either direction. Vibration goes away when turning wheel in faster, sweeping motions - it's only noticeable when making small adjustments to steering. Started happening suddenly roughly after 12k miles.

STEERING
The steering in my Integra becomes sticky after driving for 15/20 minutes, and then continues to get progressively worse the longer the drive is. There is a distinct banging noice when attempting to move the steering wheel from its current position when it is stuck. The degree of stick is strong enough that if the wheel is in its stuck state on a slight curve in the road, I can take my hands off the wheel and it will remain in the same position as the car continues around the bend. This issue has severely diminished the driving enjoyment factor of this vehicle, and has compromised the safely as well. When the steering wheel doesn’t respond how you are expecting it to, that’s definitely an opportunity for an accident to happen. My dealership has confirmed the issue, but they were unable to provide a solution at this time. To my knowledge, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, and there were no warning lights associated with this issue. The issue arose after about 4 months of ownership

STEERING
2023 Integra ASpec CVT, just after the vehicle turned 10,000 miles, the steering became sticky. The steering wheel sticks in position while going straight. It feels more difficult to move the steering wheel. Then as I come to a curve, it takes more pressure to move the steering wheel so the vehicle will turn. Then the steering wheel becomes loose causing over steering. This mostly happens at speed above 40mph. I currently have 13,7000 miles and problem has not changed. This first occurred during the summer months.

STEERING
For the past 4,000 miles or so, steering wheel has experienced slight jerks or moments of "stickiness" when driving at highway speeds. Incidents occur during all types of temperature and weather conditions. Turning the Lake Keeping Assist system on or off has no impact on steering wheel issues.

STEERING
Sticky steering wheel occurs while driving on the highway, requiring a momentary increase in steering effort to unstick the wheel. Began yesterday 11/30/2023 at around 5,200 miles. Same exact symptoms that are described in Investigation EA23003 for the Honda Civic, Honda CRV, and 2023MY Acura Integra. I have an appointment scheduled with my Acura dealer service department for 12/5/2023 to look at the problem.

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
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
Steering is "sticky" and the car makes you use more effort to do lane corrections. Sort of feels like somebody has a finger on the wheel holding the wheel while you try to adjust the course. Once the wheel starts to move it loosens up, but it just feels unnatural while driving. This is even with lane keep assist turned OFF.

STEERING
Intermittent 'stickiness' occurs in the electronic power steering when driving straight at speeds above 35 MPH. This manifests as a sensation of the wheels being locked in a forward position, requiring extra effort for minor steering adjustments. The issue persists even with all lane assist features deactivated. While the extra effort needed is slight, it occasionally feels unsafe.

STEERING
When traveling at speed the steering breaks loose. Steering jumps, looses firmness and then corrects. It will do this constantly on the interstate or highway. Feels like steering slack. Similar to hitting ice on a dry road. Started about a month ago and continues. Dealership will not document.

STEERING
This problem started happening a month ago when the car had about 15k miles. When I am on the highway and need to make minor adjustments to stay in my lane, the steering wheel will get stuck and I would have to apply a firmer turn on the wheel resulting in very jerky corrections of my steering. I do not feel safe anymore as I am driving on the highway and the car is giving me a hard time to stay in my lane. This is with all lane assistance turned off.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Even with the steering safety assistance turned off... the steering "sticks" while trying initiate turns/adjustments. Turning straight after a curve becomes jerky and unsafe. Keeping straight in a lane without jerking an overcorrection can cause concern. This is also adding to hand/wrist fatigue over long distance commute. Bottom line it feels unsafe.

STEERING, ENGINE
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.

STEERING
The steering sticks while driving primarily between 45 and 65 miles per hour. It occasionally happens at lower and higher speeds and is worse when it is windy. It is very difficult to keep in a lane and nothing seems to help. It started around 13000 miles. I have nt been to the dealer but plan to shortly.
