“Steering was sticky, shifty and driver could not recover resulting in loss of control and impact into an electrical pole and total loss of vehicle. Manufacturer and insurance are set to inspect vehicle. Police reported driver at fault as they did not have the mechanical / technical expertise / evidence to determine cause of accident when the recall notice was brought to their attention.”Owner report · Steering · Apr 2026
“My car's amplifier died. Now they're trying to charge me like $2,000. I check online. Other people reported the same complaint coming with heavy price to fix it. Plus if they did replace the amplifier, it's not granted that it won't died in 1-3 years again.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Jan 2026
“The Intermittent sticky steering wheel is back once again! So what was the whole-point of getting it fixed the first time under the recall when it's going to happen again later on along the line. Now the car is approaching 50k and back to the dealer we go to see if they can replicate the problem to get it fix under the warranty. If not just going to have to wait and see if other integras is having the same issues.”Owner report · Steering · Aug 2025

“Active but slow leak of oil coming from the front of the valve cover of the motor. The leak is leaking from the top down the block and eventually gets burned off or leaks onto the engine mount. The vehicle will be taken to the dealership for this issue and hope to get it looked at soon as the car has 27000 miles. From my understanding from the forums this is a common issue on this motor which needs new new valve cover gaskets to resolve the issue.”Owner report · Engine · May 2025
“The brakes squeak and squeal loudly when the car is cold and reversing. I took it to the acura dealership that I bought it from to get it looked at. They were able to reproduce the sound and said the sound was coming from the vsa (vehicle stability assist) . They compared it to a "known good vehicle" and said it made the same noise. Essentially the dealer said all cars of similar make and model have this issue and make this noise so no repairs were done or necessary. See attached document”Owner report · Electrical System · Mar 2025
“Driving straight and want to turn slightly but the steering wheel HEAVILY resists which produces a sticky steering feeling at highway speeds. This is a steering rack defect which is commonly experienced among 2023+ Integra owners.”Owner report · Steering · Oct 2024
“The contact owns a 2023 Acura Integra. The contact stated while driving at 55 MPH, the steering wheel seized, and the brake pedal was depressed to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and the steering failure message was displayed; however, the power steering functionality had not returned. The vehicle was driven to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer had confirmed that the steering wheel had seized. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall on the VIN for the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.”Owner report · Steering · Sep 2024
“A drunk driver ran into the back of my car as soon as the light turned green. I just release my break and h9t hit going about 70mph. The airbags never went off at such a great impact. The car was totaled.”Owner report · Structure · Sep 2024
“I recently purchased a this vehicle approximately two weeks ago and have since noticed a recurring problem with the steering. Specifically, the steering feels like it "sticks" when driving on a straightaway, making it difficult to maintain a smooth, consistent path. Initially, I thought the steering was simply stiffer compared to my previous vehicle, but after driving it for a couple of weeks, it has become clear that this is an ongoing issue. The steering tends to become jerky when I try to make small corrections to keep the car centered in its lane, which compromises the smoothness and control of the vehicle.”Owner report · Steering · Aug 2024
“The steering wheel seems to stick while trying to make adjustments and when it unsticks it jerks the car around. At first it was only at higher speeds and wasn't as bad, but after a while it's happening at low speeds. It sticks during curves which makes it really dangerous. There is an audible clumping sound now whenever making slight adjustments and turns. The sound is also heard when turning the steering wheel at a complete stop. It's been happening since November. I avoid freeways now because of how dangerous it can be. The adapted lane keep assist also struggles with steering the car because of this.”Owner report · Lane Departure · Jun 2024
