Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2024 Acura Integra owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
The contact owns a 2024 Acura Integra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel had to be overcorrected. There was an abnormal thumping noise detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000. The VIN was not available.
The contact owns a 2024 Acura Integra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel seized and became difficult to turn in either direction. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 3,500.
When driving, the steering wheel occasionally "sticks" in place. It's most noticeable when 1.) Exiting the apex of a curve and attempting to gradually return the wheel to the center position, and 2.) Driving in a straight line for an extended period then attempting to turn the wheel to navigate a curve. The steering wheel requires significant driver input to "unstick" it and move freely. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This is a major safety concern as the input needed to "unstick" the wheel may lead to overcorrection and loss of control. It also makes slight steering adjustments difficult due to the input needed to "unstick". Several times this has led to unintended swerving. I routinely transport my young children around and I fear for the safety of them and myself. …
The steering on this vehicle began feeling sticky intermittently, not every trip starting 7/31/2024. Since then it has become more and more of an issue. The sticky steering is most noticeable on the interstate when trying to recenter the steering wheel after going around a curve. More so when straightening from a left turn. I had researched, just after leasing the vehicle, and saw this was an issue on 2023 models. Nothing has happened until about 10,000 miles on my odometer. It has become prevalent during every trip taken now, including on secondary roads at lower rates of speed. A service appointment was scheduled with my dealer, a couple of days prior to the recall. I was advised to bring it in, as the recall had not been announced at that time. …
I've been having issues with the steering on my 2024 Acura Integra. It has roughly 8k miles on the odometer. There is an intermittent issue where it feels like my steering gets hung up/takes more effort to make a turn. When the issue recurs on certain drives, but doesn't occur at all on other drives. I've noticed the issue most frequently when traveling on the highway. The issue feels similar to fighting against the lane keeping system, but there are no warning lights and I'm not close to leaving my lane. I've had the issue occur when the lane-keep system is off and cruise control is off so I don't think it is occurring due to the safety systems. I see an open investigation into this issue and a technical service bulletin was released for the Honda Civic SI(same car mechanically). I've informed my Acura dealer, Pohanka Acura in Chantilly, VA. …
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? STEERING. MOMENTARY INCREASE IN STEERING EFFORT FREQUENTLY OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? RISK OF LOSS OF CONTROL. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? YES, DEALER CONFIRMED ON 3/8/2024. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? ISSUE WAS REPRODUCED AND ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE DEALER BUT THE ACTUAL STEERING WAS NOT INSPECTED TO MY KNOWLEDGE. THEY INDICATE THAT ACURA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS NOT ISSUED ANY DIRECTION EVEN THOUGH THE WELL KNOWN FIX IS REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING RACK. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NO
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.
The steering wheel "sticks" in the center position and does not move smoothly from the center position while driving the vehicle. It requires extra effort to move the steering wheel from the center position resulting in the steering wheel moving slightly further than the amount desired . This started a couple of days ago and the vehicle is three months old with approximately 3300 miles. I have checked the smoothness of the steering using the vehicle's different driving modes, i.e. Comfort, Normal and Sport modes. The result is the same no matter which drive mode is selected. I am concerned about the issue getting worse which is a safety concern. An appointment has been scheduled with the dealer to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle does not display any type of warning messages.
Recently, after approximately 4000 miles of driving, my steering has become "sticky." When trying to make small adjustments in direction, my steering wheel gets "stuck" and requires more force than normal to make the steering correction. This extra force causes a greater change in direction than intended. This past week while traveling on an interstate with wet roads...this problem presented itself. It felt incredibly dangerous as I felt I was zigzagging across the lane. This issue seems to be somewhat intermittent, but I am struggling to determine under what conditions the problem presents itself. Again... this issue presented with around 4000 miles on the odometer. I currently have approximately 5200 total miles driven.
My 2024 Acura Integra is exhibiting the sticky steering wheel event that the Honda Civics are experiencing (EA23003 and PE23005). When driving at highways speeds the wheel becomes "stuck" in one position. When you go to make a small correction there is added resistance and when the wheel does move it moves abruptly due to the extra force required. This causes the wheel to move farther than needed / expected causing the car to abruptly at highway speeds. I've turned off the LKAS system and switched between all of the different steering "modes" to try and correct this. Found out that this is an issue with the Civics and now prevalent in the Integra. Very unsafe. I've also experienced it some on a curvy road which was quite disturbing.
