Steering
190 reports3 crashes1 related recall
“I am reporting a recurring steering safety concern involving my 2023 Acura Integra. My vehicle underwent the steering gearbox safety recall repair (NHTSA 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,…”
Lane departure
12 reports1 crash
“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…”
Engine
5 reports
“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.”
Forward collision avoidance
4 reports
“Steering is sticky. Difficult to maneuver away from straight, particularly at higher speeds (45+). Car does not center in lane when LKAS is engaged, and will often drive out of the lane by itself.”
Electrical system
4 reports
“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.”
Service brakes
3 reports
“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.”
