2023 Acura Integra

Steering was sticky, shifty and driver could not recover resulting in loss of control and impact into an electrical pole and total loss of vehicle. Manufacturer and insurance are set to inspect vehicle. Police reported driver at fault as they did not have the mechanical / technical expertise / evidence to determine cause of accident when the recall notice was brought to their attention.

The sticky steering issue has returned even after the initial recall repair. Instead of replacing the entire steering rack, they only applied a temporary fix with grease the first time. The steering wheel stickiness comes and goes, which makes it even more frustrating and unpredictable. At times, the steering wheel even locks up during turns at speeds of 45+ mph, especially on highways and ramps, which is extremely concerning and unsafe. I brought the car back to the dealership, but they were unable to replicate the issue, so no repairs were made leaving me stuck without a solution. I’ve continued driving like this, and now at nearly 65,000 miles, the problem is worse than ever. Overall, this has been a completely horrible experience. Looking back, I wish I had done more research before buying this car. Save yourself the headache.

1. On multiple occasions, the adaptive cruise control has slammed the brakes at freeway speeds with no vehicles in front or next to me. The dashboard display showing vehicles in proximity indicated no new vehicles were sensed during these incidents (meaning the automatic braking was randomly triggered with no visual or audible warning). On one occasion at night, I was in the left lane of the freeway at going 75mph when this system slammed the brakes, slowing me to almost 40mph, causing the car behind me to have to swerve into the left shoulder to avoid rear-ending me. 2. The lane-keeping assistance will randomly start steering the car towards the edge of the lane. Sometimes it will actually steer the car over the lane markers, triggering the lane-departure warning, which proceeds to fight the lane-keep assist’s steering to keep the car in the lane. This will even occur after having steered the car correctly in the middle of the lane for some time. This poses a risk when the current lane is adjacent to a highway median, when there is a car in the lane next to me, or when there is no shoulder on a highway. I have had the ADAS systems on my 2023 Acura Integra recalibrated twice in the last 4 months and neither issue has improved. This is a major safety issue with Acura’s ADAS system which I have not experienced while driving multiple cars of other brands with the same feature set.

My car’s amplifier died. Now they’re trying to charge me like $2,000. I check online. Other people reported the same complaint coming with heavy price to fix it. Plus if they did replace the amplifier, it’s not granted that it won’t died in 1-3 years again.

I own a 2023 Acura Integra, and the sound system suddenly stopped working — there’s no audio from the speakers, even though the display and radio functions appear normal. I’ve seen multiple videos and posts online from other Acura owners experiencing the exact same issue, which suggests this may be a widespread electrical or audio system defect. All fuses and battery checks came back fine. This may indicate a deeper issue with the car’s electrical system or amplifier that’s not being properly addressed by the manufacturer. I believe this issue should be investigated for a potential recall or service bulletin, as many 2023 Acura Integra owners appear to be affected. Also I am unable to attach videos of what’s going on with the car due to it being photos only.

The Intermittent sticky steering wheel is back once again! So what was the whole-point of getting it fixed the first time under the recall when it’s going to happen again later on along the line. Now the car is approaching 50k and back to the dealer we go to see if they can replicate the problem to get it fix under the warranty. If not just going to have to wait and see if other integras is having the same issues.

Keep having problems with brakes after taking the vehicle in to the dealership multiple times. They are generating a noise every time I hit the brake.

Active but slow leak of oil coming from the front of the valve cover of the motor. The leak is leaking from the top down the block and eventually gets burned off or leaks onto the engine mount. The vehicle will be taken to the dealership for this issue and hope to get it looked at soon as the car has 27000 miles. From my understanding from the forums this is a common issue on this motor which needs new new valve cover gaskets to resolve the issue.

The brakes squeak and squeal loudly when the car is cold and reversing. I took it to the acura dealership that I bought it from to get it looked at. They were able to reproduce the sound and said the sound was coming from the vsa (vehicle stability assist) . They compared it to a "known good vehicle" and said it made the same noise. Essentially the dealer said all cars of similar make and model have this issue and make this noise so no repairs were done or necessary. See attached document

In December 2024, I brought my 2023 Acura Integra to the local Acura dealership to address a recall related to a steering gear manufacturing defect, as well as to perform an oil change. The service department at Acura efficiently completed the work on my vehicle in one hour. On December 24, 2024, while operating the vehicle, the dashboard lights illuminated, and the steering wheel abruptly veered to the left, leading to a collision with large stationary rocks (boulders) alongside the road. The vehicle was required to be towed to a collision repair facility. The insurance claim has been submitted, and a police report has been filed. The collision shop performed a thorough inspection of the damage, and their analysis indicated that the cause of the accident is related to the steering system. The Acura Dealership has been informed of this information, and a claim has been submitted to Honda/Acura Manufacturer. No one from Acura has yet to send some one to inspect or investigate this matter.

While driving a 2023 Acura Integra with a manual transmission, and when performing a three-point turn on a residential street with a 25 MPH speed limit, I noticed the manual gearbox shifter was very stiff and difficult to shift the vehicle into a gear, despite having the clutch pedal pressed completely down. No warning lights, messages or other alerts were displayed on the dashboard. No other vehicle symptoms were noted prior to this incident. This incident posed a potential safety risk, as the vehicle was stuck in the middle of the road in direct line of traffic and needed to be pushed out of the road to avoid potential collision with other moving vehicles. The vehicle was inspected by both a dealership and the manufacturer, who both stated based on a computer scan of the vehicle, which revealed Engine Code P0219 Engine Over-Speed Condition, caused physical damage to the transmission as a result of an improper downshift. Details indicated the car was allegedly downshifted improperly at a speed of 67 MPH with an RPM of 5,551. I am unsure how this issue could have happened, as I have never abused the transmission, and have always driven the car in a responsible manner in which it is intended to be driven. The vehicle has always been serviced by an Acura dealership and have never had any prior issues. The vehicle is also still new and under warranty, however I was told they will not be covering this incident under warranty as they claim there was alleged physical damage. Neither the dealership nor the manufacturer could provide me with a time stamp or other data to substantiate their claim of physical damage, so I am unable to isolate the alleged incident to a specific date or time of occurrence. I do not see any open recalls relating to the transmission or gearbox, however I do see one open recall (VJV 2023-25) which says the steering gearbox worm wheel may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause the wheel to swell when hot or damp. Please investigate.

The contact owns a 2023 Acura Integra. The contact stated that while driving on a ramp at approximately 30-35 MPH, while turning to the right, the steering wheel continued turning a complete 360 degrees, causing the contact to lose control of the vehicle and crash into a nearby wall. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle received structural body repairs and the worm gear spring was replaced. The contact learned that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering) after the repair. The contact mentioned that the vehicle prior to the crash experienced a sticky steering wheel. There were no injuries sustained and no medical attention was needed. A Police report was filed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 16,700.

Driving straight and want to turn slightly but the steering wheel HEAVILY resists which produces a sticky steering feeling at highway speeds. This is a steering rack defect which is commonly experienced among 2023+ Integra owners.

A drunk driver ran into the back of my car as soon as the light turned green. I just release my break and h9t hit going about 70mph. The airbags never went off at such a great impact. The car was totaled.

The contact owns a 2023 Acura Integra. The contact stated while driving at 55 MPH, the steering wheel seized, and the brake pedal was depressed to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and the steering failure message was displayed; however, the power steering functionality had not returned. The vehicle was driven to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer had confirmed that the steering wheel had seized. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall on the VIN for the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.

I recently purchased a this vehicle approximately two weeks ago and have since noticed a recurring problem with the steering. Specifically, the steering feels like it "sticks" when driving on a straightaway, making it difficult to maintain a smooth, consistent path. Initially, I thought the steering was simply stiffer compared to my previous vehicle, but after driving it for a couple of weeks, it has become clear that this is an ongoing issue. The steering tends to become jerky when I try to make small corrections to keep the car centered in its lane, which compromises the smoothness and control of the vehicle.

at highway speeds steering sticks making it so i have to put temporarily more force into it.

The steering wheel seems to stick while trying to make adjustments and when it unsticks it jerks the car around. At first it was only at higher speeds and wasn’t as bad, but after a while it’s happening at low speeds. It sticks during curves which makes it really dangerous. There is an audible clumping sound now whenever making slight adjustments and turns. The sound is also heard when turning the steering wheel at a complete stop. It’s been happening since November. I avoid freeways now because of how dangerous it can be. The adapted lane keep assist also struggles with steering the car because of this.

The steering wheel “sticks” so that extra force is needed even to make tiny adjustments. This causes the car to over correct and is dangerous to drive. I will no longer let my teenage children drive the car.

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.
