Steering Problems of Acura Integra - part 2

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.

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.

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.

Steering wheel sticks while driving and needs more force then normally necessary to make minor steering corrections.

Car has 5700 miles and intermittently experience the steering getting stuck in a position until I give it a little tug to break it free. Happens more frequently after taking a long wide turn and trying to straighten the wheel after.

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.

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.

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 feels sticky. It takes more effort than it should to adjust steering when driving straight. This is more noticeable when driving at higher speeds.

I noticed that the steering on my vehicle has become "sticky". The steering wheel seems to stay stuck in position while driving. It takes extra effort to move it from the stuck position. It does not take a lot of force to move it from the stuck position, but it is definitely noticable. This is certainly annoying, and I feel this could be a safety issue.

Sterring wheel sticks when driving. Has been happening for a couple of months. I have 18,000 miles on car. . Could cause crash.

We brought my son's car in earlier in the year for an issue it was having with its steering ( the steering sticks/locks when attempting to turn the steering wheel left ). The dealer acknowledged the issue and stated that the steering box needs to be replaced. The dealer sent us home with the car saying it was 'safe to drive' and they would call us when part was received. We insisted, however, for the dealer to provide a loaner since we felt any acknowledged issue with the steering is not safe. We have recently been informed from the dealer that the part needed to address the problem is on backorder with no anticipated delivery date and that the next available update will be in August. (btw - we also have the same problem with the stereo amp, which is on backorder with no anticipated delivery date). I have a couple major problems with this 1) my son's brand new car is sitting in the FL sun/heat getting damaged waiting for an indefinite period of time; 2) my son cannot drive the loaner, 3) and we are being asked to wait several months for an update on part availability for a new car. These are all completely unreasonable situations. I see 1 of 2 options: Honda/Acura - needs to work with the dealer to figure out how to give my son (17) a car to drive while they wait on replacement parts. I also want permission to bring my son's car home and have it garaged until part is received and repair is scheduled. Or Honda/Acura - needs to give us a new car (and take back my son's car back) as part of lemon law. It is completely unreasonable for a new car to have such major safety issues and furthermore have the manufacturer and dealer say we have to wait months for an update on part availability. We also have a loaner that my son cannot drive. I would like a response to this situation ASAP before I seek legal action.

The steering wheel is quite sticky when I'm driving and causes some safety concern as the effort to turn my car at high speed is affected. Need a resolution on this one quickly as during tight turn and high speeds this is a big safety issue.

I am having a sticky steering wheel issue and is available for inspection upon request. While driving I have lost temporary control overcorrecting the sticky steering while pulling into traffic and keeping the vehicle in the lane in heavy traffic. It creates an not predictable driving experience and feel extremely unsafe. I notice the steering wheel favors pulling left like its alignment is constantly off to the left. I have taken it to the dealer when it first started happening and we could not repo it then. It is happening more frequently and I will be scheduling a follow up appointment. My vehicle has no been inspected by the manufacturer, police or other insurance representative. There are no associated warning lights or messages. I noticed at first the wheel was pulling left before the sticky wheel problem occurred.

My car for the last week has been getting the infamous "sticky" steering when doing highway speeds. It does lead to overcorrection which could be me and other motorist in danger or in harms way. It almost keyword here "almost" got me into a wreck because when trying to pass into another lane, my steering wheel felt stuck and I had to apply some extra force to get into my lane. Luckily, no one was there on the other lane but the overcorrection felt a knee jerk into the lane. No waring lights appear on the dash since the sensor won't pick it up. I have taken my car to the dealership to see if it can be fixed, so far 3 days with no updates and will have to play the "telephone" game to get any updates.

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).

Experiencing 'sticky steering' at highway speeds. Steering wheel becomes somewhat stuck and requires more force than should be necessary to make a small adjustment when traveling within a lane. The problem has gotten worse over time as it has become much more noticeable after crossing 15,000 miles. Concerned about future degradation and highway safety.

The steering is sticking while traveling a low and high speeds. You have to pull the wheel to break the sticking wheel. This most frequently occurs at highway speeds. This is not occurring due to lane departure or other adas system error as they are not engaged. This has been happening for a few weeks now and appears to be a known issue by Honda/Acura with no recall or resolve.

My car has the known "sticky steering" issue associated with this and many '22, '23, and '24 vehicles from Honda. It's been mild and almost imperceptible for a while until recently getting worse. I'd have a hard time knowing when it started; probably 6-8 months ago which was about a year into owning the car.

This issue is very similar (same as) to the issue described in NHTSA investigation ea23003 (momentary increased steering effort). The issue occurs at highway speeds after the vehicle warms up. While driving straight there is a slight resistance to a steering change that results in an overcorrection to steering that then will need to be followed by another correction in the opposite direction to keep vehicle tracking straight. The magnitude of corrections in themselves don't force the vehicle out of the lane but are a major driving distraction that removes focus from critical driving activities like monitoring traffic & road conditions. Effectively, this issue prevents optimal vehicle steering position without constant small steering adjustments.

At highway speeds my steering wheel sticks when trying to make small steering adjustments. When the wheel finally releases it causes an exaggerated movement in the steering wheel causing the car to jerk left or right depending on the steering input.

I have been experiencing “sticky steering”—the momentary need to apply additional force to steer the vehicle while on the highway.

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.

After approximately 15 minutes of driving at highway speeds, the steering wheel felt "sticky. " making small, lane keeping adjustment suddenly took much more effort and felt very notchy and jerky. When turning, the steering wheel did not return to center as normal, but had to forcibly returned to a center position. It was uncomfortable and felt unsafe, like it would be difficult to fully control the vehicle, especially in the event of an emergency. It made the small, normal adjustments of driving much, much more difficult. I made an appointment with the dealer of the car and was told that their was a failure in the steering rack/power steering system that caused the symptoms. I was told parts would take 5 months to arrive. There was no warning light, audio signal, or any other indication that the failure was about to occur. The issue disappears under 40 miles an hour, but reappears immediately once highway speeds are achieved. Once turned off and rested for several minutes the car will steer normally until the same 10-15 minute period of highway speeds.

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. . .

The steering is malfunctioning and is available for inspection. The steering wheel is stiff and sticky at high speeds and when driving in a straight line. Before this began, I could move my steering wheel very smoothly to adjust for minor positional changes within my lane. Now, the steering wheel freezes in place, so a very slight left or right position has be veering towards one side. I have to apply noticeably more force to dislodge the steering wheel from its stuck position to correct the car's trajectory. My safety and the safety of others is at risk. I am afraid that driving at high speeds and needing to make rapid adjustments to avoid collision will be catastrophic due to unnatural steering and needing to apply significantly more force to move the wheel. I have not taken the car to the dealership, however, the problem has been reported numerous times on online forums and confirmed by other dealerships. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone since the car's last oil change 3 months ago. There were no warning signs, messages or symptoms of the problem before it appeared.

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 becomes “sticky” not centering in an unrestrained state resulting in excessive constant input required to center vehicle in otherwise straight line driving like it is contantly tracking off course and never in a neutral position. Problem persists even after a battery disconnect to reset electronics.

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.

When exceeding 30-35 mph regardless of driving conditions, the steering wheel will not rotate smoothly. Steering is notchy or sticks requiring extra effort to turn the steering wheel to make even the slightest correction. I purchased the car with 9,275 miles on it and the problem manifested itself from the start of ownership. Deactivating the lkas has no effect on the problem. - steering/vehicle is available for inspection -I've been able to overcome the steering resistance but there is potential for an accident to occur -I have not had the problem confirmed by a dealer but will do so at the next service appt. -at the time of purchase, the vehicle did pass state inspection and dealer inspection, but no issues were reported -there are no alerts or warning lights associated with this issue.

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.

Steering wheel sticks at highway speed and takes some force to move it.

Vehicle steering can stick and cause a momentary increase in steering effort that could potentially cause over-correction and an increased risk of a crash.

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.

The contact owns a 2024 Acura Integra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel had to be overcorrected. There was an abnormal thumping noise detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being backordered. The manufacturer was contacted, who opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000. The VIN was not available.
