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
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.

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.
