2023 Acura Integra problems

Filed Nov 5, 2026 · Steering · OK

I am reporting a recurring steering safety concern involving my 2023 Acura Integra. My vehicle underwent the steering gearbox safety recall repair (the federal safety agency 24V‑744 / Acura Campaign VJV) in January 2025 under dealership repair order 344890. Despite the completed recall, I continue to experience steering resistance and binding at highway speeds, generally 50 mph and above. When navigating gradual curves, the steering wheel sometimes feels as though it sticks or remains held in position. When attempting to return the wheel toward center or make a small correction in the opposite direction, additional force is required before the steering suddenly releases and moves smoothly again. This makes precise steering corrections unpredictable and presents a potential safety hazard at highway speeds. I initially suspected the lane-keeping assistance system; however, the problem occurs with lane-keeping assistance disabled, while remaining centered in my lane. I do not typically experience the condition at lower speeds. I recall noticing this steering behavior around the time of the January 2025 recall repair. The symptoms closely match the defect addressed by Recall 24V‑744, raising concern that the original remedy did not fully correct the underlying condition or that the defect has recurred. I request that the federal safety agency investigate the possibility of an ineffective or recurring recall remedy and evaluate this complaint alongside similar post-repair steering complaints involving Honda and Acura vehicles covered by Recall 24V‑744.

Failed Recall Remedy / Recurring Safety Defect: Electronic Power Steering BindingMy vehicle previously underwent the official manufacturer remedy for the federal safety agency Safety Recall Campaign 24V744 (Acura steering gearbox defect). The recall is marked as "Completed" on my VIN.Despite the remedy being performed, the dangerous safety defect has fully returned. While driving at highway speeds, the electronic power steering (EPS) exhibits a severe "sticky" and "notchy" sensation. The steering wheel momentarily catches, binds, and resists minor steering inputs, requiring excessive physical force to break the steering free, which results in sudden, dangerous overcorrections.When I returned the vehicle to an authorized Acura dealership (Team Gillman Acura, Houston, TX) to report the failed remedy, the dealership refused to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The service department stated that because the initial recall campaign had already been marked completed on my VIN, and because the vehicle is outside its standard factory warranty mileage, they have no obligation to address the recurring steering failure.The manufacturer's grease-and-spring recall remedy has failed to resolve the underlying mechanical defect (swelling worm gear/housing friction). The vehicle remains inherently unsafe to drive, and the manufacturer is refusing to provide a permanent remedy (steering gearbox replacement) for this active, federally recognized safety hazard.

VEHICLE & TRANSACTION DETAILS Vehicle: 2023 Acura Integra | VIN: [XXX] Purchaser: [XXX] | Authorized Rep: [XXX] Selling Dealer: Carvana, LLC | Delivery Date: XXX STATEMENT OF SAFETY HAZARD & DEFECT I am filing a formal vehicle safety complaint against Carvana, LLC for delivering a passenger vehicle in an unroadworthy, dangerous condition. On XXX, Carvana delivered the 2023 Acura Integra (VIN: [XXX]). Immediate post-delivery inspection by an authorized repair facility confirmed the vehicle was delivered with four severely worn, defective tires measuring below legal safety thresholds, along with a severe alignment defect. IMPACT ON VEHICLE CONTROL & PUBLIC SAFETY Delivering a vehicle with dangerously worn tires and severe alignment issues directly compromises basic vehicle safety and highway operation: Hydroplaning & Braking Failure: Tires worn past safe limits lack water evacuation channels, causing loss of control and extended stopping distances in wet conditions. Tire Failure Risk: Operating tires past wear indicators dramatically increases the risk of high-speed tread separation or sudden blowout. Handling Degradation: The severe alignment defect impairs emergency evasive steering and causes unpredictable vehicle pulling. DEALER CERTIFICATION FAILURE Carvana explicitly represented this vehicle as having passed a mandatory "150-Point Inspection" and certified it as roadworthy. Delivering a vehicle with four non-compliant tires demonstrates a major breakdown in basic safety quality control. I request that the federal safety agency log this complaint, assign an official tracking number, and investigate commercial dealer compliance regarding tire safety standards prior to vehicle delivery. Diagnostic reports and tread depth photos are available upon request. Sincerely, [XXX] (on behalf of [XXX]) [XXX] | [XXX] | [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

The sticky steering issue has returned even after the initial recall repair. Instead of replacing the entire steering rack, they only applied a temporary fix with grease the first time. The steering wheel stickiness comes and goes, which makes it even more frustrating and unpredictable. At times, the steering wheel even locks up during turns at speeds of 45+ mph, especially on highways and ramps, which is extremely concerning and unsafe. I brought the car back to the dealership, but they were unable to replicate the issue, so no repairs were made leaving me stuck without a solution. I’ve continued driving like this, and now at nearly 65,000 miles, the problem is worse than ever. Overall, this has been a completely horrible experience. Looking back, I wish I had done more research before buying this car. Save yourself the headache.

1. On multiple occasions, the adaptive cruise control has slammed the brakes at freeway speeds with no vehicles in front or next to me. The dashboard display showing vehicles in proximity indicated no new vehicles were sensed during these incidents (meaning the automatic braking was randomly triggered with no visual or audible warning). On one occasion at night, I was in the left lane of the freeway at going 75mph when this system slammed the brakes, slowing me to almost 40mph, causing the car behind me to have to swerve into the left shoulder to avoid rear-ending me. 2. The lane-keeping assistance will randomly start steering the car towards the edge of the lane. Sometimes it will actually steer the car over the lane markers, triggering the lane-departure warning, which proceeds to fight the lane-keep assist’s steering to keep the car in the lane. This will even occur after having steered the car correctly in the middle of the lane for some time. This poses a risk when the current lane is adjacent to a highway median, when there is a car in the lane next to me, or when there is no shoulder on a highway. I have had the ADAS systems on my 2023 Acura Integra recalibrated twice in the last 4 months and neither issue has improved. This is a major safety issue with Acura’s ADAS system which I have not experienced while driving multiple cars of other brands with the same feature set.

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.

I own a 2023 Acura Integra, and the sound system suddenly stopped working — there’s no audio from the speakers, even though the display and radio functions appear normal. I’ve seen multiple videos and posts online from other Acura owners experiencing the exact same issue, which suggests this may be a widespread electrical or audio system defect. All fuses and battery checks came back fine. This may indicate a deeper issue with the car’s electrical system or amplifier that’s not being properly addressed by the manufacturer. I believe this issue should be investigated for a potential recall or service bulletin, as many 2023 Acura Integra owners appear to be affected. Also I am unable to attach videos of what’s going on with the car due to it being photos only.

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.

Keep having problems with brakes after taking the vehicle in to the dealership multiple times. They are generating a noise every time I hit the brake.
