The steering wheel locks momentarily at cruising speed of 35-45 mph. This results in the need of over or under compensating the steering with extra effort. The steering is generally locked in the same position and it also frequently moves the direction of the vehicle to the point that i fear this is a severe safety issue.
The steering wheel gets stuck when driving dealership stated that’s under investigation but this is a safety issued that can cause a accident and death
Electronic steering appears to cut on and off briefly when driving. This happened multiple times in a five mile trip. It sounds like this is the "sticky stearing" issue already under investigation for honda/acura.
Sticky steering wheel. Difficult to adjust steering. Small adjustments causing large swaying in lane.
The steering wheel sticks at times so i cannot steer the car safely. I brought the car to the dealer and they said it is fine and there is nothing wrong with it. I have read on line many other people with the same problem. They had their steering components replaced and it fixed the problem. The problem is still occurring daily.
The steering wheel occasionally "sticks" when trying to turn the wheel at medium speeds. It still turns but it is harder to turn and not smooth. From what i can tell, this issue is similar to the steering issues present in honda civics, which share the same drivetrain.
At 10k miles, my '23 acura integra, made a strange noise, coming from the rear passenger tire. Sounded like a few rocks went around the wheel. There were no rocks in the road, so i parked & checked my tire sensor on the dash & the rear passenger tire sensor read as "--" instead of the pressure number. I got out, took a look, there was nothing visibly wrong. After leaving work, i checked the tire again, nothing visibly wrong. I left the parking lot, drove maybe 2mins down the road & the tire sensor number came back on & read "35" this time. So i thought nothing of it. A few days later, i noticed the steering wheel felt different. Again, not visually but physically. The steering wheel sticks requiring an abnormal amount of effort to steer the vehicle in the desired direction. It started out noticeably on highways or freeways at accelerated speeds but now that i'm at 17k, it is noticeable at any speed on any road, especially if i'm driving straight for a long period of time, moving the steering wheel ever so slightly requires way too much force which can cause over correction while trying to maintain my lane. It is also very noticeable when driving on a curve & trying to steer the wheel back to the center. It feels like it gets stuck in "notches" that you have to force into the direction you need it to go. It makes driving incredibly a daunting task & also feels extremely unsafe to drive. I feel like i'm forced to drive with two hands at all times & really grip the wheel which leads to my hands & wrists becoming strained. That's not normal at all! I literally think about the "sticky steering" the whole entire time i'm driving. It's not fun & i love driving. When i drive my husband's '23 kia stinger, i don't even think about this issue. I hadn't noticed that i didn't think about it until i drove his car for an extended time & then got back in my integra the same day. There needs to be a recall before someone dies!
This vehicle was sold 4. 10 with an issue commonly referred to as sticky steering. A bulletin went out july 2023 (23-037) directing dealers to replace the electronic power steering gearbox with a new one. Sticky steering occurs at most speeds. The steering has what i can best describe as pixelated movements rather than smooth. When you are trying to maintain control while driving straight or turn the wheel slightly it seems to jump to the next notch instead of slide smoothly. This often results in slight overcorrection and is very scary at higher speeds or in thicker traffic. You have to fight the steering wheel to maintain control. This condition is extremely dangerous and causes the car to pull to either side with diminished control of the steering.
While taking the vehicle on long drives and driving on a straightaway for a few miles possibly 3-4. The steering becomes very heavy to the sense it’s becoming stuck and electric power steering motor is failing.
When in reverse the passenger mirror dips to give a better view of the curb. Once the vehicle is taken out of reverse the mirror does not return to the original position. I have had the vehicle in the dealership and they say they cannot reproduce the error. I have brought it in with the mirror in the dipped position. I have shown them videos of the mirror as it dips and then as it fails to return to the original position.
