STEERING
Potential Consequences:
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.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
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.

Honda (american Honda Motor Co.)
Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
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.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
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.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
“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.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
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

Potential Consequences:
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)

SEAT BELTS
Potential Consequences:
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.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
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
Potential Consequences:
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.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
On 1/19/24 I took my 2023 Acura Integra in for an oil change at an Acura dealership. I notified the service desk staff member that for the past couple months I have been experiencing a sticky/notchy steering issue. I also mentioned that this issue has been reported frequently online with the other 2023 integras and other Hondas around the same year. Fortunately, I was able to accompany the service manager while he performed a quick test drive and he confirmed the issue at speeds of approximately 30mph. That day the dealership contacted Acura and determined that my steered rack needed to be replaced, however they would need to order a new steering rack. After over a month of waiting for the new part, there is no ETA when the dealership will receive the new steering rack. The dealership found that there were no logged errors. This issue still persists daily and makes it difficult to maintain the center of the lane when driving at speeds higher than 30mph. My car currently has approximately 13,000 miles and was purchased in October 2022.

After over a month of waiting for the new part, there is no ETA when the dealership will receive the new steering rack. The dealership found that there were no logged errors. This issue still persists daily and makes it difficult to maintain the center of the lane when driving at speeds higher than 30mph. My car currently has approximately 13,000 miles and was purchased in October 2022.
Additional Notes:
On 1/19/24 I took my 2023 Acura Integra in for an oil change at an Acura dealership. I notified the service desk staff member that for the past couple months I have been experiencing a sticky/notchy steering issue. I also mentioned that this issue has been reported frequently online with the other 2023 integras and other Hondas around the same year.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Steering wheel sticks at speeds over 20 mph. On the freeway, you have to overcome the resistance the steering wheel provides and has resulted in slight over correcting of the steering to remain on intended course. The car is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others are at risk if I make a poor over correction, which could cause me to lose control and/or crash in to other vehicles. No inspections at this point, I have an appointment with the dealer. No warning lights or other symptoms of the problem.

Honda (american Honda Motor Co.)
Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
When traveling in a straight line for more than a few seconds, it becomes noticeably more difficult to make small adjustments in steering. The additional force required increases the risk of steering more than intended, and often requires an immediate correction in the opposite direction. This is more noticeable at high speeds, but is almost always present after 20-30 minutes of driving. This is reproducible regardless of steering mode or lane keeping assist being active.
