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…
When driving 65+ MPH on the highway the vehicle begins to glide. Left or right. It is hard to bring back into center. I noticed it when I get the car two months ago but it is getting worse to the point I’m uncomfortable driving it. I have noticed I am not the only one with this complaint. I also do have an appointment with my local Acura dealership to get this assessed.
The contact owns a 2025 Acura Integra. The contact stated that while attempting to make a left or right turn, there was an abnormal sound coming from the steering wheel, and the vehicle became difficult to steer. Neither a dealer nor an independent mechanic was contacted. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (STEERING); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified o…
I was on my way home from work this morning and all warning lights (electric power steering, ABS, collision control warning, brake system sensors, etc.) randomly came on and the steering became very still. When parking, I wasn’t able to turn the car off without pressing the “push to start” button multiple times.

UNKNOWN Accident involving direct hit to driver side door with no air bag deployment. Body shop estimator stated no codes were recorded, which is not normal. Also stated that seat belts did not lock, also not normal.
My daughter was driving my car and another person coming the other direction turned into ongoing traffic causing the cars to tbone. My car front was crushed in with $9,000 worth of damage head on. My daughter hit her head on the steering wheel and suffered a concussion.
The contact owns a 2025 Acura Integra. The contact stated that while driving through an intersection at approximately 15 MPH, another vehicle ran the red light and struck the front passenger’s side of the vehicle, causing the contact to crash into another vehicle before coming to a stop. The contact stated that upon the initial impact, his wife's head struck the front passenger’s side window. The contact stated that there was a delay in the side curtain air bag deploying, and the passenger was trapped between the air bag and the side window. Th…
Vehicle only has 6,000 miles and I have an “Emissions system problem” along with “rev match disabled” message on my dash. Engine is now performing at a lower power level. Nothing out of the ordinary occurred before this. No error codes prior.
The rear camera view that shows lines to assist in parking and taking the car out of the parking is so much misaligned that resulted my car hitting my garage when taking it out . Acura needs to address this to prevent the damages it can cause to the adjacent cars and properties
