The contact owns a 2023 Acura Integra. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and turning the steering wheel to the right or to the left, the steering wheel seized. The contact stated that upon turning the steering wheel to the intended position, the steering wheel pulled out of the intended position and seized. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was test-driven, and the dealer informed the contact that no failure was found. A software update for the EPS system was performed; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Action Number: EA23003 (Steering). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 17,200.
When driving straight at speeds above 45 MPH the steering locks or freezes up and requires additional force to move at which point it loosens and over corrects. It has happened periodically over the 10k miles I have had it, purchased new, but lately is happening very frequently as in every minute. I have also experienced the wheel jerk the wrong direction while in a turn. This has happened maybe 6 times over that 10k miles but is very scary. These issues to me do not feel like mechanical issues and rather software/technological in nature.
