STEERING
While driving, especially at speeds over 40 mph, the steering wheel will become slightly "frozen" where minor corrections or adjustments to the steering wheel cause the wheel to jerk or over-correct. This is especially noticeable at highway speeds. So far, the over-correction is not severe enough to cause me to depart my existing lane but at highway speeds, I've had a few close calls where simply the speed combined with traffic have made me very nervous and not fully in control. At first it would only happen occasionally but over the past several weeks, it has become a constant occurrence, every time I drive. Although the car is equipped with adaptive steering and lane keep assist, I do not have these functions active. It does not result in any warning lights or alarms. Additionally, I have tried changing the drive "modes" and found that it occurs in all modes, including normal, comfort, and sport. My vehicle currently has 9,000 miles. I took the vehicle to my local dealer last week (9/21/23) and after test driving it, they advised that the steering was functioning "as intended" and any oddities I was noticing were intentional. I do not accept this response and will be returning to the dealer again in the coming week or so to have them test again, once my schedule allows.

STEERING
While driving at speeds above 40 MPH the steering becomes "sticky", taking more force than usual to move it from a neutral position. This just began occurring after 14,000 miles and is not associated with any error messages from the car. The condition happens with cruise control on or off and with lane keep assist features off. From reading reports this issue seems to be affecting 2022 Honda Civic and Civic SI models as well which share the same drivetrain components as the Acura Integra.

STEERING
The problem I am reporting is that while driving at speeds of greater than 40mph, every single time the steering wheel has this issue where it begins to stick in place and requires more force than usual to change directions, which then results in an over correction every time, where I then have to put it back into a centered position. It is more apparent at speeds greater than 75 mph and not noticeable under 30 mph. 1. The Steering wheel seems to be the problem, according to some sources online with similar experiences the steering rack could be the problem. 2. My safety, as well as the safety of all passengers and other drivers are affected by this, as I have to use more force than usual which could create unpredictable movements in the car. This can be especially dangerous on ice or snow. 3. The issue has multiple reports online, as well as an active investigation in the 2022-23 Honda Civics who share a drivetrain with the integra. 4. My specific Integra has not been investigated by any other sources, although I will soon set up an appointment to get it looked into. 5. There were absolutely no warnings or signs as to when this started happening. It just randomly started happening around two weeks ago at the 15,000 Mile mark, with no external forces or maintenance recently to cause this. 2.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Was driving at 75 to 80 mph speeds on interstate, and had approximately 4 to 5 seconds (400 feet+ at 75 mph) of clearance ahead of me before the next car. I had cruise control enabled and the adaptive cruise control was on the closest setting. Weather was clear and sunny and there were no visibility issues. The nearest vehicle in front was far beyond the ACC clearance zone. Suddenly the collision mitigation braking enabled and the car braked, beeped, and the warning light flashed. The car slowed suddenly from 75-80 down into the low 60mph range. I then had to tap the brake to disable or acknowledge the warning, resulting in another sudden brake. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the dealer but I have contacted them. Safety of myself was at risk of sudden high speed braking or flipover if I had been in a turn. I also could have been easily rear ended. This happened twice in an hour span on the same drive. I believe both times this happened, the nearest vehicles in front were full size motorcycles.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The calibration for the blind spot is off, it detects there’s a vehicle in the blind spot and beeps when I try to change lanes although the vehicle is clearly behind my vehicle and is safe to change lanes. Another issue is that on the dash when I change songs sometimes on Apple CarPlay it freezes, it plays a song but the title of the song is the previous song that was playing.

STEERING
Steering is very jerky and sticks into a turning position while driving at highway speeds. It takes a heavy correction to get the car out of the “lock”. Nearly had a couple of accidents due to the car trying to swerve in the opposite lane in turns.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
There is a separation from the windshield and the A frame on the drivers side. The car has been in multiple times and the service department cannot fix the problem because they claim it is a manufacturers defect. American Honda is saying that because it is "a manufacturing defect", they are not obligated to fix it and there is no fix available and I have no recourse.

STEERING
While driving at highway speeds around 60-65 mph, the steering feels "sticky". It takes more effort than normal to move the steering wheel and correct course. Rarely, the steering wheel does not return to the center position after a long sweeping curve on a highway and needs to be jerked back slightly to get it to return to center. This tends to happen around an hour or more into a long drive, usually when it's warm weather. For reference, the car only has around 6500 miles on it.

STEERING
Steering wheel is “sticking” at highway speeds. When driving straight, I have to lightly force the wheel to get it to click out of where it was last place. It ends up jerking the wheel to get it out of this stuck position.

STEERING
Sticky steering observed at highway speed. Steering wheel would lose power assist or feel sticky or jerkiness briefly by giving steering wheel a very slight turn to either the left or right at highway speed when going straight. Complaint to dealer and already replaced steering rack under warranty once at 10000 miles. Problem seems to have come back again after driven the newly replace steering rack for 5000 miles. Right now, problem would come and goes intermittently already contact dealership for appointment to troubleshoot the issue.

STEERING
Steering produces a sticking sensation, specifically when traveling at speed on straight roads and slight steering adjustments are needed to correct course. When attempting to make the adjustments, more effort is needed for a very short amount of time, to get the steering to unstick. It ranges on severity from very minute to quite a bit of force needed to steer from straight. Dealer looked at the problem and said they could not reproduce the effect. I took tech for a ride and had them feel when it was happening when I was driving. The tech felt it, but said that was “normal”. Vehicle has not been independently inspected as I took to dealer because it is still under warranty. No warning lights have occurred.

Same issue with the '22/'23 Honda Civic, which the Integra is based on -- "sticky steering". AutoBlog reported on it at https://www.autoblog.com/2023/03/21/nhtsa-honda-civic-sticky-power-steering-investigation/.

STEERING
The steering wheel sticks at times. Driving straight and in turns. It's a slight stick, but increasingly more noticeable. While driving straight it happens if I don't touch the wheel for a few seconds. Then I'll need to make a minor correction and it's stuck. I have to put some decent pressure on the wheel to make it unstuck, which causes an over-correction. If i steadily make corrections it doesn't stick. Same in a turn. If I am making a slow or wide turn, wheel stays in same position for a second, it doesn't just roll out of the turn easily. I have to force it to come out of the turn. Again once it's unstuck it feels fine. Leaving it in one position for more than a second or two initiates the stuck.

STEERING
Car at around 3K miles. The steering at higher speeds >40mph started to stick and takes some force to steer. It is most noticeable when driving in a straight line and the steering wheel will require some force to turn but then will be more fluid. But then returning to a straight line causes the same sticky feeling. Because the steering sticks, it requires an overcorrection when trying to adjust directions.
