Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering wheel feels like it is getting stuck when making small adjustments. It requires a momentary increase in force to overcome the resistance which causes the car to not drive smoothly. It seems like the issue is getting worse as time goes on. I am worried that this will eventually lead to an overcorrection and potential crash. I have reached out to the service center at the dealership and have not received a call back yet to resolve this issue. My wife has the same car and she is not experiencing this issue yet but when I drive her car, it makes the steering issue in my car much more apparent in comparison.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
After I reached about 8K miles, I started to get the “sticky steering”. It’s more noticeable at higher speeds, but it’s noticeable in general. The steering is no longer smooth and while driving, it’s almost like you’re battling with it to keep a straight line.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
My power steering started out notchy and now it’s actually sticking in some cases and I can hear noises when I turn the steering wheel when I’m at a stop. The problem started after my first oil change around 6500 miles and it’s actually getting worse where I can feel it more and more. I told the dealer and they said they have no fix for the problem with no updated parts and then I should complain on this website to make it known.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Around the 8,000 mile mark, a problem with “sticky/jerky” steering appeared. The problem is much more noticeable at speeds over 50 mph, but it can also be felt at lower speeds. The steering wheel does not rotate smoothly. Instead, it constantly gets stuck at various spots, and it requires additional driver force to angle it to the desired position. This constant adjustment causes the car to move in a noticeable zig zag fashion, and it much more apparent at highway speeds due to the amount of distance covered per every steering adjustment. At times, it feel dangerous since you are constantly fighting to stay within your lane. Countless reports have surfaced online, and it seems to be affecting the Acura Integra lineup as well as the 11th generation Honda Civic lineup. The flaw appears to be with a faulty worn gear in the steering shaft.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
As others who also have the same issue put it: It almost felt like a video game steering wheel that was glitching. When I'd try to make small corrections to keep the car in the center of the lane, I'd apply pressure and get nothing. Then I'd apply more pressure and the wheel would "pop" and I'd get more correction than I wanted. I thought that was odd, so I googled it and found this thread. Sticky Integra steering; Starting feeling the steering wheel "stick", more prominent on freeways after driving straight. The wheel doesn't feel smooth when trying to adjust smaller turns. It feels like the wheel locked or stuck in a notch. But after moving it, it becomes smooth again before not turning the wheel again. This has been a continuous problem that frequently happens on the highways. It is particularly dangerous as it takes away driver attention and potentially causing crash as the steering needs to freed occasionally!

Potential Consequences:
Steering wheel sticks at center when driving in a straight line. You have to make a slight turn of the wheel to get it unstuck. This started right around 5,000 miles. Apparently I am not alone in this issue with my new car. I am driving it far less because of this issue and the uncertainty that it might get suddenly stuck and not be able to steer the car.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Sticky steering problem. The steering wheel will randomly require significant effort to move left or right the first 5 to 10 degrees. This results in uncommanded drifting into other lanes. When going in a straight line at interstate speeds, the steering wheel will randomly pick 5 to 10 degrees left or right as the new center point and require significant effort to override. When this randomly occurs, "sticky steering" overrides BOTH lane keep assist and road departure mitigation as they think the action has been manually commanded.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Experiencing "sticky steering". While driving highway speeds, common corrections to steering randomly require an extra effort due to a slight "sticky" feel on the steering wheel. Applying the extra force suddenly releases it, but it is concerning since you have to be ready to re-correct in case you applied more effort than needed (otherwise you can be in the risk of dangerously invading another lane). I would definitely consider this a drive safety risk. Additional Observations: - It has been more noticeable also in cold weather, up to the point that it also presents itself at low street speeds while doing turns. - Have been noticing a combination of "sticky" and "too loose" steering. According to dealer, there is nothing worn or loose in the steering components, nor an alignment or balancing issues on wheels/tires. - As the mileage increases, the issue becomes more noticeable and more concerning. - Started to experience this since around 9k miles in the odometer.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
This vehicle has what's been described as "sticky steering". At highway speeds and going straight a steering wheel movement (such as repositioning in your lane) sticks on straight before driver's slight pressure on the wheel overcomes the "stickyness" and the car then responds to driver's steering command. Not sure if this defect is a safety problem but anything unusual in the steering mechanism concerns me. Is something in the steering mechanism in the process of failing? Am I about to lose control of the car? I've been driving for 62 years and never encountered anything like this Problem has been reproduced by the dealer.

Potential Consequences:
When driving above 40 mph, steering wheel feels sticky when making slight turns. It resists subtle movements and in general doesn’t turn smoothly. It’s a safety concern because it almost feels like it’s locking up and I’m not sure in an emergency situation that I could maneuver the vehicle as easily as I should be. This has not been reported to a dealership yet, nor has it been inspected and reproduced in front of a professional technician. No warning lights come on when this issue occurs.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle is starting to have an issue related to steering while the driver is making small lane adjustments during normal driving. The problem is noted while the vehicle is being driven on mostly straight portions of road, but we're also noticing it in curves. While making minor adjustments to stay within the center of the lane, the steering wheel "sticks," preventing the driver from making an adjustment. As the vehicle drifts more towards the inside or outside edge of the lane, the driver needs to make a more forceful adjustment. At this point, the steering wheel "pops" loose and normal steering resumes for several seconds. The problem persists for the entire trip. Once the steering wheel "pops" loose, the driver tends to overcorrect because of the force needed to adjust the stuck steering wheel. The problem began in mid-December 2023. The vehicle had about 24,000 miles on it when the problem was first noticed. The problem is noted when the vehicle is travelling faster than 35-40 mph.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering wheel sticks during turns, curves, lane changes and requires extra effort to adjust making the car behave in a 'jerky' manner. Particularly concerning on wet roadways with short jerky movements to realign the car into its lane after a curve/turn. This 'jerkiness' began occurring about a month after I acquired the vehicle, around 4500 miles. It happens regardless of the speed or location (in town vs. hwy).
