   The sticky steering issue has returned even after the initial recall repair. Instead of replacing the entire steering rack, they only applied a temporary fix with grease the first time. The steering wheel stickiness comes and goes, which makes it even more frustrating and unpredictable. At times, the steering wheel even locks up during turns at speeds of 45+ mph, especially on highways and ramps, which is extremely concerning and unsafe. I brought the car back to the…

   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…

   My car’s amplifier died. Now they’re trying to charge me like $2,000. I check online. Other people reported the same complaint coming with heavy price to fix it. Plus if they did replace the amplifier, it’s not granted that it won’t died in 1-3 years again.

   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…

   The Intermittent sticky steering wheel is back once again! So what was the whole-point of getting it fixed the first time under the recall when it’s going to happen again later on along the line. Now the car is approaching 50k and back to the dealer we go to see if they can replicate the problem to get it fix under the warranty. If not just going to have to wait and see if other integras is having the same issues.
