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.

When driving on the freeway, I started noticing the steering would stick when attempting to make slight movements to follow the changes in the road. I would have to put more effort into my steering to correct it and it would feel sticky immediately. This happens on the whole trip where I'm constantly having to correct it slightly left and slightly right, with more effort, as if the power steering system was low on fluids, which makes it a very uncomfortable. I do not know if this will get worse to the point that it will take even more effort to correct the steering or even lock itself in one position which can lead to dangerous for myself and any occupants. This vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I have an appointment with the dealership tomorrow morning for them to take a look at this issue. Hopefully they will be able to fix it. I have not seen any warning on the dash. …
Engine & cooling
For the 6th time, my 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec with the 6spd manual transmission has completely shut off. While the immediate thought might be that I stalled or the auto stop/start engaged, that's not the case here. The car completely shuts off. Almost like a hard reset, the engine dies, and the electrical system shuts down. In several of the cases, some features like lights, still work. But in others, everything dies. Locks, radio, wipers, lights. It takes awhile to restart the car. This happens when I come to a complete stop and then when I put my foot on the clutch and on the gas. This has happened in warm and cold Temps (ranging from 25 F to 75 F ). In 3 of the cases, the auto stop/start (acura calls it idle stop or something) was disengaged/turned off because I was in sport mode. Plenty of gas in the tank. The car is brand new, not even 4 months old with 14000 miles. …
I have the Integra Aspec CVT model. It's been 8 months since I bought it, it's close to 10k miles and it was a week ago that it suddenly started to turn off completely as if it were like hard reset. It has already happened to me 7 times. Sometimes he doesn't want to turn back on quick so I have to wait couples minutes before trying to turn it on again and on the screen I get the alert to turn it on with the remote key but my car doesn't have that option. I don't get any error alert in the tachometer, only that suddenly everything is turned off, both the engine and the electrical components.
