STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering wheel sticks and/or takes more effort to turn when traveling >30MPH. The steering wheel does not return to center on its own at these speeds. When the steering wheel sticks during a turn (as if it were in a notch) it takes more effort to get the wheel out of the notch and I have over corrected in a turn multiple times because of the extra force needed to turn the wheel. Symptoms started around 3500 miles, 3 months into ownership. Issue is inconsistent, not easily replicated except under precise driving conditions. at speeds <30 MPH, the issue is rarely present.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
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. They brushed off the technical service bulletin because its from Honda, not Acura. They're essentially the same car...

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
At under 3k miles I am experiencing something called “sticky steering.” The steering wheel will get stuck and I would need to use more force to turn the wheel. For example When making turns, the wheel should return back to its normal position when you let go of it. However, with the sticky steering issue, it does not and I would need to forcefully straighten out the wheel. This occurs at both low and high speeds and seems to be more prevalent in colder weather. A quick Google search seems to show a common issue with this generation Acura Integras and Honda Civics.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
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.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering component has a defect to where when you’re driving and go to slightly turn the steering wheel it feels as if it “gets stuck” and then just gives. It is a safety issue because it causing you to steer harder and then when it gives you are pulling the steering wheel with a little more pressure you almost over correct. Could cause a wreck. It was inspected by dealership and there was no code and “drives how vehicle was intended by manufacturer” they were unable to re create it. I’ve been driving the car since September and just started having this issue 3 weeks ago around 7k miles. I’ve read other integras especially 23’ has had this issue. They won’t replace it until there is a recall for it.

Potential Consequences:
Steering becomes sticky, making it difficult to turn the vehicle. It first occurred on the highway going 70 mph where it almost completely locked and caused the car to veer off road or into other vehicles. It now always takes more effort to turn the wheel and feels very unsafe. Acura has validated the problem, saying power steering rack is faulty, part #53620-3S5-A34. The part if on back order so it will be months until it is replaced. However the replacement is the exact same part that will very likely get the same problem.

Potential Consequences:
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Electronic Power Steering How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Sticky power steering needed to make micro adjustments while driving on freeway or speed 40mph+. Sticky steering causes me to overcorrect, merging to other lane. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? An appointment is made for the dealer to check the vehicle on 01/20/2024 Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? NA Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, No illuminated warning lamps nor codes or messages. And when did they first appear? I noticed the issue started last November 2023 right around reaching 3500 miles. Below are what I observed that changed: Sticky steering observed while- - Sitting idle - Driving straight line on freeway or speed 40mph + - Driving on curvy road - Backing up or parking Other issues noticeable or changes in the car since I bought it: - Keep making micro adjustment on freeway speed - feels like power steering shuts off while on idle (auto stop disabled) - steering sometimes feel harder in any drive mode (sport, normal, and comfort - feels like there's a gap (lack of precise word) in steering I made observations with vehicle safety features on and off. An accident almost happened on 01/10/2024 while driving on curvy road. The steering momentarily felt sticky and hard causing left side of my car to go past the dividing lane. There were oncoming vehicles when it happened luckily car responded before completely crossing the dividing lane.

The steering intermittently "sticks" and requires more force before it releases in a jerk. This can cause more steering angle than desired or required. The issue seems to be getting worse. My symptoms seem to match the 2023 issue : EA23003, but my car is a 2024 model year. I suspect nothing in the steering system changed between model years however.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
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.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
• 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. After doing some research, this seems to be a well known issue with late model Integra/Civic/CR-V and several wrecks have been reported as a result. The bottom line is I do not feel safe driving this car but it's my only means of transportation. • I have not yet taken the car to a dealer. • No manufacturer or agency has inspected the vehicle. • No warning lights are present. The vehicle currently has 3,800 miles, I first noticed the issue around 2,000 miles. It has progressively gotten worse since the initial occurrence.

The bottom line is I do not feel safe driving this car but it's my only means of transportation. • I have not yet taken the car to a dealer. • No manufacturer or agency has inspected the vehicle. • No warning lights are present. The vehicle currently has 3,800 miles, I first noticed the issue around 2,000 miles. It has progressively gotten worse since the initial occurrence.
Additional Notes:
• 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.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
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.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
After driving the car for around 15 minutes or so the steering becomes very stiff and takes extra effort to turn the wheel. It almost feels like it’s sticking and then releases when it gets to a certain point and then sticks again when the wheel is straightened. It seems to happen more when at speeds of 40mph and over. When the vehicle comes to a stop and you try turning the wheel it somewhat clicks and then becomes easy to turn again.
