STEERING
Sticky steering, when trying to make small adjustments the steering wheel feels locked and takes more of a rotation to get it “unstuck”. This causes me to look like I’m swerving almost just trying to make a small adjustment to the steering wheel.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
When driving the vehicle over 40 mph's the car will not allow for you to readjust the lane alignment without having to jerk on the wheel. When making a turn on an exit ramp the wheel will "stick" into place instead of naturally moving with the turn. This causes you to jerk your wheel in turns and potentially lose control of the car.

STEERING
The steering wheel locks momentarily at cruising speed of 35-45 MPH. This results in the need of over or under compensating the steering with extra effort. The steering is generally locked in the same position and it also frequently moves the direction of the vehicle to the point that I fear this is a severe safety issue.

STEERING
Electronic steering appears to cut on and off briefly when driving. This happened multiple times in a five mile trip. It sounds like this is the "sticky stearing" issue already under investigation for Honda/Acura.

STEERING
The steering wheel sticks at times so I cannot steer the car safely. I brought the car to the dealer and they said it is fine and there is nothing wrong with it. I have read on line many other people with the same problem. They had their steering components replaced and it fixed the problem. The problem is still occurring daily.

STEERING
The steering wheel occasionally "sticks" when trying to turn the wheel at medium speeds. It still turns but it is harder to turn and not smooth. From what I can tell, this issue is similar to the steering issues present in Honda Civics, which share the same drivetrain.

STEERING
At 10k miles, my '23 Acura Integra, made a strange noise, coming from the rear passenger tire. sounded like a few rocks went around the wheel. There were no rocks in the road, so I parked & checked my tire sensor on the dash & the rear passenger tire sensor read as "--" instead of the pressure number. I got out, took a look, there was nothing visibly wrong. after leaving work, I checked the tire again, nothing visibly wrong. I left the parking lot, drove maybe 2mins down the road & the tire sensor number came back on & read "35" this time. so I thought nothing of it. a few days later, I noticed the steering wheel felt different. again, not visually but physically. The steering wheel sticks requiring an abnormal amount of effort to steer the vehicle in the desired direction. It started out noticeably on highways or freeways at accelerated speeds but now that I'm at 17k, it is noticeable at any speed on any road, especially if I'm driving straight for a long period of time, moving the steering wheel ever so slightly requires way too much force which can cause over correction while trying to maintain my lane. It is also very noticeable when driving on a curve & trying to steer the wheel back to the center. It feels like it gets stuck in "notches" that you have to force into the direction you need it to go. It makes driving incredibly a daunting task & also feels extremely unsafe to drive. I feel like I'm forced to drive with two hands at all times & really grip the wheel which leads to my hands & wrists becoming strained. That's not normal at all! I literally think about the "sticky steering" the whole entire time I'm driving. It's not fun & I love driving. When I drive my husband's '23 Kia Stinger, I don't even think about this issue. I hadn't noticed that I didn't think about it until I drove his car for an extended time & then got back in my Integra the same day. There needs to be a recall before someone dies!

STEERING
This vehicle was sold 4.10 with an issue commonly referred to as sticky steering. A bulletin went out July 2023 (23-037) directing dealers to replace the electronic power steering gearbox with a new one. Sticky steering occurs at most speeds. The steering has what I can best describe as pixelated movements rather than smooth. When you are trying to maintain control while driving straight or turn the wheel slightly it seems to jump to the next notch instead of slide smoothly. This often results in slight overcorrection and is very scary at higher speeds or in thicker traffic. You have to fight the steering wheel to maintain control. This condition is extremely dangerous and causes the car to pull to either side with diminished control of the steering.

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
When in REVERSE the passenger mirror dips to give a better view of the curb. Once the vehicle is taken out of REVERSE the mirror does not return to the original position. I have had the vehicle in the dealership and they say they cannot reproduce the error. I have brought it in with the mirror in the dipped position. I have shown them videos of the mirror as it dips and then as it fails to return to the original position.

STEERING
FROM DAY ONE ON THIS $43,000 NEW CAR THE STEERING STICKS SO WHEN ON THE ROAD THE STEERING STICKS AND I GET CLOSE TO RUNNING INTO OTHER CARS OR GOING OFF THE ROAD THIS IS CONTINUOUS DURING THE ENTIRE TIME DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN TILL I HAVE DRIVEN FOR A FEW MILES AND DOES NOT SHOW UP ON A TRIP AROUND THE BLOCK BUT DOES SHOW UP SOON AFTER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE PUT IN FOR A NEW PART REPLACEMENT BUT DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL ARRIVE. THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS ON THE ROAD AND BRINGS GREAT ANXIETY WHEN DRIVING IT AND I CAN NOT DRIVE IT MORE THAN A FEW MILES. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON THE ROAD. THIS IS AN ONGOING AND CONTINUOUS PROBLEM.

STEERING
We brought my son's car in earlier in the year for an issue it was having with its steering ( the steering sticks/locks when attempting to turn the steering wheel left ). The dealer acknowledged the issue and stated that the steering box needs to be replaced. The dealer sent us home with the car saying it was 'safe to drive' and they would call us when part was received. We insisted, however, for the dealer to provide a loaner since we felt any acknowledged issue with the steering is not safe. We have recently been informed from the dealer that the part needed to address the problem is on backorder with no anticipated delivery date and that the next available update will be in August. (BTW - We also have the same problem with the stereo amp, which is on backorder with no anticipated delivery date). I have a couple major problems with this 1) my son's brand new car is sitting in the FL sun/heat getting damaged waiting for an indefinite period of time; 2) my son cannot drive the loaner, 3) and we are being asked to wait several months for an update on part availability for a new car. These are all completely unreasonable situations. I see 1 of 2 options: Honda/Acura - Needs to work with the dealer to figure out how to give my son (17) a car to drive while they wait on replacement parts. I also want permission to bring my son's car home and have it garaged until part is received and repair is scheduled. OR Honda/Acura - Needs to give us a new car (and take back my son's car back) as part of lemon law. It is completely unreasonable for a new car to have such major safety issues and furthermore have the manufacturer and dealer say we have to wait months for an update on part availability. We also have a loaner that my son cannot drive. I would like a response to this situation ASAP before I seek legal action.

STEERING
The steering will get tight at speeds above 40 mph. The steering tightens up and almost feels like it's a ratchet/gear that catches constantly, it is not a smooth turn how it should be. It is manageable at lower speeds, however on the highway it is very worrisome. The steering is even tighter at highway speeds and gets stuck in position and is hard to turn correctly. I often find myself over correcting trying to get the wheel unstuck from its position, causing me to swerve on the road.

STEERING
The contact owns a 2024 Acura Integra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel had to be overcorrected. There was an abnormal thumping noise detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000. The VIN was not available.

STEERING
After driving on longer drives the steering becomes "sticky" off center. Looses its smoothness of operation. Usually does not occur on shorter drives, but, the longer you drive the more prevalent the problem becomes. This is my wife's car and I had not driven it for a while, as I was driving it the problem manifested itself. As soon as I said something to my wife, she said she had noticed it as well. Upon a suggestion from a auto tech friend I turned off all the electronic nannies, but, the problem is still there.
