I dont feel safe at all when turning because it feels like the steering wheel is sticking and doesn-??t move. Very unsafe feeling.

- Danbury, CT, USA

The steering sticks when the vehicle has been traveling straight for a period of time (time varies, as does speed). The stuck steering requires additional force on the wheel to steer the vehicle, which results in an over correction. It's getting worse and occurring at all speeds, started at only highway speeds. No warning lights, etc. Problem was confirmed by the dealer 3/29/2024. I was told by the dealer that Acura is no longer authorizing replacement of the steering rack under warranty. They can offer no warranty solution at this time.

My car, with less than 18,000 miles on it has begun to have steering which sticks as the car is driven straight. In order to make a correction to the right of left it is necessary to jerk the wheel in that direction to unstick the steering. This is more than an annoyance as it has caused me to veer slightly out of my lane unless I am very careful. I have parked it and am driving my daughter's old car until this can be resolved. It appears from my internet search that this is happening to a lot of Acura Integra owners. The approximate date I am using for the next question is incorrect as this was an ongoing issue every time I drove the car. The dealership here has been excellent and has done all that they can. I have contacted Acura to see when I can expect repair but have received no response.

While driving down [XXX], the steering felt stiff and almost like it stuck into a certain position. It required far more force than normal to move the steering wheel from its position which almost caused me to change lanes to the right without wanting to. This is not the first time this has happened, but it was a particularly dangerous instance since the steering wheel stuck several degrees to the left of center which would have directed to into the center divide. I took the car to the dealership in March 2024 to discuss the issue and they acknowledged that two other integras had come into the dealership for a similar problem. Not having absolute control of the vehicle is extremely dangerous and the steering sticking into a certain position without Lane Keep Assist influencing the steering is a design flaw and puts drivers at risk.

Since I purchased the Integra over a year ago, I-??ve routinely experienced a sticky/jerky steering issue. When driving, the steering wheel will jerk to the left or right continuously and feel stuck in position and difficult to correct. Not only do I have to consistently -??fight-?? the steering wheel to keep the car aligned, I have had the vehicle veer into another lane and swerve towards cars in the neighboring lane due to the jerking motion. Overall, this creates a difficult driving experience - my focus is consumed by the steering, I feel I have limited control of the vehicle, and an overwhelming sense of being uneasy/unsafe when the issue is prevalent. Passengers feel it too. This is most notable when highway driving or going above ~45/50 mph and, oddly, seems to be more prominent in certain weather, particularly during warm, but not hot, days (60-80 degrees). No warning signs or vehicle setting notices display. Issue persists regardless of altering vehicle modes and settings. I have reported this to the Acura dealership twice. The first was early on and I had no reference of others with this experience. The second time, I expressed there are numerous reports of this online. They noted it, stated everything appeared normal, and that they drove the vehicle and couldn-??t recreate it, but my Acura app trip history did not reflect this. The concern was dismissed. This is my 3rd Acura sedan - I-??ve had an incredible experience with Acura, my dealership, and previous vehicles. I commonly recommend them to friends/family. That said, it takes a lot for me to feel strongly enough to report an issue/negative review, but this driving experience is simply unacceptable and potentially dangerous.

The steering becomes -??sticky-?? and is resistant to turning both at low and high speeds. This results in situations where significant force must be applied to the wheel to create a direction change. It has resulted in sudden movements after -??breaking-?? the steering wheel free from its -??stuck-?? position in the middle. It even affects driver assist systems, which will also demonstrate difficulty managing a steering wheel that gets -??stuck-?? in the middle. The cold and wet seems to make it worse. However this has been an ongoing problem for the last several thousand miles and is definitely getting worse as the miles go by. I have taken the car to the dealership and was informed this is a known issue with no available repair. Seems to be a substantial safety concern that should warrant a repair.

- Charlotte, NC, USA

When driving on the highway, the steering wheel gets "sticky". The steering wheel feels like it gets stuck and I have to constantly make slight adjustments against a slightly resisting steering wheel. It makes me feel like I am forced to constantly move the steering left just to stay in my lane even when I'm going in a straight line on the highway.

- Los Angeles, CA, USA

Steering intermittently feels sticky when turning, requiring extra effort to rotate the wheel. When it occurs steering safely may be harder to accomplish, as it requires more of the driver's attention to correct unintentional movements. Issue is more pronounced when driving at slow speeds/parking and has gotten worse as the car ages. The car has not yet been inspected and the issue has not yet been attempted to be replicated by any service center, though a service is scheduled. There have been no warning lights or messages in the car that warn of this issue since it started about 6 months ago.

- San Diego, CA, USA

Car has about 8,000 miles; noticed "sticky steering" over last 1,000 miles. At highway speed, steering requires more effort even for changing lanes, then it releases while driving straight. Very disturbing to driver; tempted to oversteer. Problem has been reported by other owners on [XXX] No warning lamps. Next step is to bring to dealer INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle's steering has a "sticky" sensation requiring increased input to allow the vehicle to turn. This makes the vehicle difficult to maintain in a straight line and also results in dangerous steering overcorrection when the steering wheel finally does begin to turn. This creates a dangerous driving environment to myself and other drivers as this issue makes the vehicle difficult to control. The issue started two months ago (January 2024) when the car had approximately 9,000 miles on the odometer. The issue began as intermittent, but is now continuous in all driving conditions. There are no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms. This issue has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance. My vehicle's problem has not yet been reported to the manufacturer, although there are several complaints available online from those experiencing the same problem with this vehicle. There is currently no recall to correct this issue, allegedly created by a manufacturing defect in the steering box.

- Miami, FL, USA

When exceeding 30-35 mph regardless of driving conditions, the steering wheel will not rotate smoothly. Steering is notchy or sticks requiring extra effort to turn the steering wheel to make even the slightest correction. I purchased the car with 9,275 miles on it and the problem manifested itself from the start of ownership. Deactivating the LKAS has no effect on the problem. - Steering/vehicle is available for inspection -I've been able to overcome the steering resistance but there is potential for an accident to occur -I have not had the problem confirmed by a dealer but will do so at the next service appt. -At the time of purchase, the vehicle did pass State inspection and dealer inspection, but no issues were reported -There are no alerts or warning lights associated with this issue.

Steering constantly sticks and is hesitant and making turns at times. A real struggle.

- Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA

When approximately 50+ mph, steering corrections when going straight are met with momentary increased steering effort which require me to force the steering wheel to turn before it reacts normal. It is not intermittent, but occurs each time. The effort required also seems to increase the longer the car is being driven during any given trip.

- Hampton , NH, USA

After driving at highway speeds (55-65 mph) in a straight line for a period of 15 minutes, the steering wheel becomes completely stiff and difficult to turn to make small corrections to stay within my lane. This typically happens on cooler mornings after the car has had a chance to warm up and no significant curves exist in the road or turns are required. I am able to overcome the resistance from the steering wheel to maintain my lane with two hands but have come close to over-correcting while driving with one hand (the other was on the shifter) and almost went into the occupied lane next to me. The effort to overcome the resistance from the steering is fairly consistent. No warning lights have appeared when I started having this issue with the steering. The problem appeared when I reached 2500 miles on the odometer. I have not had the vehicle examined by the Acura dealership but plan to very soon. No other official in law enforcement or insurance has looked at the vehicle either

-??Sticky steering-?? wheel. When executing a turn the wheel will stick in a position and not return to center unless force is used to -??unstick-?? the steering. This happens regardless of drive mode settings and driver assist settings. Much more pronounced at highway speeds and I am concerned as to the overall safety of the car, especially if I have to make a defensive maneuver at highway speeds. I took the car into my local dealer and while they confirmed my suspicions, they said that Honda/Acura did not have a fix. No warning lights have come on in the vehicle. I have read that similar complaints were filed on certain 2022 and up Honda civic models.

- Union, KY, USA

TThe problem occurs while driving at freeway speeds. When adjusting the wheel slightly to the right, from off center, the wheel sticks a bit. It's as if it's stuck in a notch. This first occurred when the car was a little over a year old with around 8000 miles on it. We took the car to CardinaleWay Acura in Las Vegas on [XXX]. They confirmed that it is a known issue. They told us that Acura did not have a solution at this time, and they would notify us when they do. We have yet to hear back. This was concerning to us, as we read about accidents associated with this defect. We also read about instances where Acura did provide a Steering Rack replacement as a solution. We do not know why this option was not provided to us. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

There is a squeaky sound from where the seatbelt anchors to the car in the driver-??s seat. It mainly sounds like the right side, however, it can be heard when leaning to the left(away from the shift nob). You have to have the seatbelt on while driving, to hear the sound. I-??ve taken the vehicle 4 times and thought it was the seat, however, I still hear the sound and only hear it while driving with the seatbelt on. The steering wheel is also starting to slightly stick. I have to apply force to turn and nothing will happen, then it will move in cm increments, not smoothly as it did prior to 10,000 miles.

The issue I experienced is with the steering. Intermittently, the steering will 'freeze' or stick and requires MUCH more force to turn than normal. It is mostly evident when going in a straight line and trying to make slight steering input. The additional force to 'unstick' the steering often causes too much steering input, resulting in over-correction. This issue makes it very difficult to stay centered in a lane, and sometimes the over-correction results in going into another lane. The dealer acknowledged there was an issue but stated no corrective action could be taken until Acura sent a TSB or recall. This is unacceptable as it is often a safety risk. The inconsistency of the issue also is a safety impact as certain times the steering seems normal while others require at least 3-4 times the effort to make even a small adjustment. First occurrence is listed below but issue has occurred on almost every drive since that date.

Steering wheel sticks at highway speed and takes some force to move it.

- Pearland, TX, USA

The electric power steering sticks when driving and does not self return. It sticks in one position. It seems to be worse on highways or at higher speeds, it will stick at a given angle or position. This is something that can be inspected upon request. Our safety is put at risk due to increased steering effort required which can cause perking motion from the position it's sticking in. It also is an ergonomic issue with having to constantly correct the stiffness. The dealership is aware of the issue but it has not been addressed or inspected for the issue. It is easily reproducible for it to be addressed. There are no warning lights for this issue.
