2024 Acura Integra Complaint Log

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.

La columna de dirección se queda como bloqueada y para realizar pequeñas correcciones cuando vas en la autopista debes aplicar un poco más de fuerza y esto hace que el carro se sienta inestable para conducir ya que debes sobre corregir para mantener el carro en el carril. Esta situación está muy peligrosa.

At higher speeds (i.e. 45+ mph) steering wheel feels 'sticky' when driving in a straight line. When driving like this and when I need to adjust the direction a little, the wheel feels stuck in the existing position (i.e. it resists movement) and only after pulling harder on it will it move - and when it moves it moves too much, so car looks like it is weaving around when simply trying to go in a straight line. After moving the steering wheel it loosens up and is OK, but then after going straight again for a few seconds, it gets sticky again. It does not happen all of the time, but seems to happen 70-80% of the time (so far). It is very dangerous, especially at high speeds.

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.

My Acura has around 3000 miles and for the last 1000 miles or more the steering seems to "stick" even when lane keep assist is off. I am able to move the steering wheel with some force but it often over corrects the problem. It happens at 25 MPH and over regardless of drive mode. In a quick internet search this seems to be an issue with both Acura Integra and Honda Civic. I first noticed it on the highway at 55+ MPH but am noticing it at lower speeds. This has happened multiple times not 1 incident.

At highway speeds and for most speeds after driving at highway speeds, the steering will “stick”. The steering sticks in the center and slightly to the left when making slight left turns and take more than minimal effort to return the steering to center. Additionally, any small correction that need to be made while driving are made to be more difficult because of the sticky steering. Around town and on more aggressive turns, the steering is more normal. Issue has been consistent for several months. Appointment scheduled with dealer for 10/26/2023

Steering wheel is jerking/sticking and making it necessary to have to make steering adjustment and making the car swerve while driving. This seems to be a common occurrence on comparable Honda Civic models as well. This vehicle only has 2,800 miles on it.

Steering is notchy/sticky when turning. Has slight grab then it releases. Very subtle but forums say it is a potential recall.

Steering wheel is sticky at highway speed causing overcorrection to maintain the car in the lane. Especially concerning in rain.

The rear camera view that shows lines to assist in parking and taking the car out of the parking is so much misaligned that resulted my car hitting my garage when taking it out . Acura needs to address this to prevent the damages it can cause to the adjacent cars and properties

When driving 65+ MPH on the highway the vehicle begins to glide. Left or right. It is hard to bring back into center. I noticed it when I get the car two months ago but it is getting worse to the point I’m uncomfortable driving it. I have noticed I am not the only one with this complaint. I also do have an appointment with my local Acura dealership to get this assessed.
