At a glance

Next to the 2024
At 52 complaints for each year on the road, the 2023 runs 2.5 times the 2024 (21). That's the only adjacent model year with enough complaints to set beside it.
Top problem
One problem takes up much of the file: sticky steering, named in 159 of the 208 complaints (76%). Sticky steering tends to show up early. Of the 43 owners who gave a mileage for it, half were under about 10,000 miles and a quarter under about 7,000.
Crash, fire and injury reports
Only 5 of the 208 complaints (2%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, well under the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 5 reports mention a crash and 3 people were hurt.
Recalls behind the top problems
sticky steering and power steering loss all have recalls on the same system, and the same campaigns cover them: 24V-744. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
When owners filed
Filings peaked in 2023 at 103 and have dropped every year since, to 6 in 2025. So far in 2026, 6 more have come in.

        How this compares

        2023 Acura Integra208
        Median 2023 model here (63 vehicles)152
        Median 2023 sedan here (9)113

        208 complaints is 1.4 times the median 2023 model on this site and 1.8 times the median 2023 sedan. Among the 1 Integra model years here it ranks 1st for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.

        Complaints filed by year

        Complaints by the year NHTSA received them: 2022: 2, 2023: 103, 2024: 91, 2025: 6, 2026: 62'22103'2391'246'256'26

        103 complaints came in 2023, 51.5 times the year before. Owners file in waves when a problem gets press or an investigation, so a spike measures attention as much as failures.

        Steering · model years 2023 to 2024

        Momentary increased steering effort. Closed jan 28, 2025, led to recall 24V-744.

        NHTSA summary
        On November 29, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Engineering Analysis (EA23003) to assess allegations of momentary increase in steering effort in model years (MY) 2022-2023 Honda Civic, 2023MY Honda CR-V, and 2023MY Acura Integra vehicles (subject vehicles). The complaints received by ODI alleged that the subject vehicles experienced a momentary increase in required steering effort (described as “sticky steering”) occurring mostly at highway speeds after driving for an extended amount of time; these complaints could not be duplicated during dealer service technicians’ quick test drives. The complaints had been received over the previous two years with most occurring with low vehicle mileage. The steering gear of these vehicles is aided by an electrical power assist unit. This power assist unit inputs force on the steering rack via a worm gear and worm wheel assembly. During PE23005, Honda stated this condition of momentary increase in steering effort occurs due to two factors within this power assist unit. First, during manufacturing, the steering worm wheel goes through annealing and component conditioning processes. These processes cause internal stress and strain within the steering worm wheel. This strain is slowly released over the first few months of the vehicle life. Over time, the released strain causes deformation of the teeth on the worm wheel, causing the worm gear to catch on the worm wheel. This catching results in the dri
