NHTSA lists 2 safety recalls and 208 owner complaints for the 2023 Acura Integra. Most complaints involve steering (189) and lane departure (12). The EPA rates it 30–33 mpg combined, and NHTSA gives it 5 stars overall.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Acura Integra, Civic Type R, CR-V Hybrid, CR-V, HR-V, 2022-2025 Civic, Civic Hatchback, 2024-2025 Acura Integra Type S, 2025 CR-V Fuel Cell EV, Civic Hybrid, and Civic Hatchback Hybrid vehicles. The steering gearbox assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause excessive internal friction and lead to difficulty steering the vehicle.
Honda (America Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023 Civic, Acura RDX, Acura Integra, and 2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A ball valve in the vehicle stability assist (VSA) modulator may leak brake fluid, which can result in unintended vehicle movement when the brake hold feature is engaged or an unexpected increase in brake pedal travel.
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“Failed Recall Remedy / Recurring Safety Defect: Electronic Power Steering BindingMy vehicle previously underwent the official manufacturer remedy for NHTSA 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…”
“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…”
“Active but slow leak of oil coming from the front of the valve cover of the motor. The leak is leaking from the top down the block and eventually gets burned off or leaks onto the engine mount. The vehicle will be taken to the dealership for this issue and hope to get it looked at soon as the car has 27000 miles. From my understanding from the forums this is a common issue on this motor which needs new new valve cover gaskets to resolve the issue.”
