2024 Acura Integra problems

“Vehicle: 2024 Acura Integra Affected Component: Steering Gearbox Assembly / Electric Power Steering (EPS) Related Recall: NHTSA Campaign Number 24V-744 / Acura TSB 24-054 Description of Incident: My vehicle is actively experiencing the dangerous "sticky," heavy, and "notchy" steering defect outlined in NHTSA Campaign 24V-744, which causes a sudden increase in steering effort at highway speeds. The authorized franchise dealership previously performed the initial recall remedy (grease/spring kit replacement). However, this remedy completely failed to resolve the underlying manufacturing defect, and the hazardous steering behavior persists, making the vehicle unsafe to operate. Because I live on an isolated island with only one authorized Acura franchise facility, I have no alternative dealership options. The local dealership management and the visiting Acura Field Technical Specialist are formally refusing to diagnose, evaluate, or replace this defective steering rack.

The contact was initially informed that a manufacturer field technician would need to inspect the vehicle; however, the contact was later informed that the manufacturer had sent instructions on how to service the vehicle, which the contact deemed unsatisfactory due to the safety risk. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle had previously rolled after being parked and turned off, with the parking brake engaged. There was no warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the TPMS reading had failed to display, the collision mitigation braking system had engaged erroneously, and the windows…”

“When driving it’s as if the steering gets stuck. The vehicle will start to pull from the left to right as if bouncing from one side of the lane to the other. All lane keep assist and road departure features are turned off. Began around 2k miles and currently has 5500. Causing me to over correct and make jerky motions to keep in lane. Sometimes feels like it doesn’t want to correct at all. Noticing it at low and high speeds, constantly fighting a car that feels like it is in control.”

“Coolant overflow reservoir leaks”

“Was on freeway on-ramp. Gas pedal got stuck down”

“Horrible sound coming from wheels even on smooth road surfaces at speeds higher than 50. Coulb be bearings. The sound has been increasing lately”
