Owner report 11498375 · 2022-12-21 (December 21, 2022)
I was driving on December 19, 2022 and noticed difficulty steering at cruising speeds (45mph). The steering became resistant to small movements. It did not move smoothly when I turned it to make minor adjustments, it required extra force to move from a still position. Once I applied enough force to turn, it turned freely. At low speeds such as turning in a parking lot, I did not notice any problems, but upon reaching approx 40mph, I did notice the problem. This makes the vehicle more difficult to operate in an unexpected manner and makes a co…

Owner report 11500114 · 2023-01-04 (January 4, 2023)
While driving at highway speeds (45-75 mph) the steering will begin to stick. The steering wheel requires extra force to make an adjustment. After getting past the friction point, the steering is normal but will soon gain the friction point back. On highway ramps, the steering will hold the turn without any additional pressure and fails to return to the straight position. Added force required to get it back to straight.

Owner report 11538465 · 2023-08-14 (August 14, 2023)
Was driving at 75 to 80 mph speeds on interstate, and had approximately 4 to 5 seconds (400 feet+ at 75 mph) of clearance ahead of me before the next car. I had cruise control enabled and the adaptive cruise control was on the closest setting. Weather was clear and sunny and there were no visibility issues. The nearest vehicle in front was far beyond the ACC clearance zone. Suddenly the collision mitigation braking enabled and the car braked, beeped, and the warning light flashed. The car slowed suddenly from 75-80 down into the low 60mph rang…

Owner report 11561226 · 2023-12-20 (December 20, 2023)
Brake pedal has to travel almost to the floor to gain braking traction. Feels like the brakes have 50K miles on them. Car has 7,500 miles currently. Matches the current recall. Dealer would not look at or fix due to my VIN number didn't match up in the recall.

Owner report 11498597 · 2022-12-22 (December 22, 2022)
For the 6th time, my 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec with the 6spd manual transmission has completely shut off. While the immediate thought might be that I stalled or the auto stop/start engaged, that's not the case here. The car completely shuts off. Almost like a hard reset, the engine dies, and the electrical system shuts down. In several of the cases, some features like lights, still work. But in others, everything dies. Locks, radio, wipers, lights. It takes awhile to restart the car. This happens when I come to a complete stop and then when I p…

Owner report 11505307 · 2023-02-03 (February 3, 2023)
I have the Integra Aspec CVT model. It's been 8 months since I bought it, it's close to 10k miles and it was a week ago that it suddenly started to turn off completely as if it were like hard reset. It has already happened to me 7 times. Sometimes he doesn't want to turn back on quick so I have to wait couples minutes before trying to turn it on again and on the screen I get the alert to turn it on with the remote key but my car doesn't have that option. I don't get any error alert in the tachometer, only that suddenly everything is turned off…
