Power steering loss on other Integra years

What this problem usually is
Power steering loss is the steering wheel suddenly going heavy, usually with a warning on the dash. Nearly six in ten complaints in this group mention a warning light or message, and almost two thirds mention driving or highway speed rather than parking.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the steering rack (7 reports).
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the steering system covers the 2023 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The steering gearbox assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause excessive internal friction and lead to difficulty steering the vehicle.

“While taking the vehicle on long drives and driving on a straightaway for a few miles possibly 3-4. The steering becomes very heavy to the sense itâs becoming stuck and electric power steering motor is failing.”

“Intermittent 'stickiness' occurs in the electronic power steering when driving straight at speeds above 35 MPH. This manifests as a sensation of the wheels being locked in a forward position, requiring extra effort for minor steering adjustments. The issue persists even with all lane assist features deactivated. While the extra effort needed is slight, it occasionally feels unsafe.”

“Steering is "sticky" and the car makes you use more effort to do lane corrections. Sort of feels like somebody has a finger on the wheel holding the wheel while you try to adjust the course. Once the wheel starts to move it loosens up, but it just feels unnatural while driving. This is even with lane keep assist turned OFF.”

“Even with the steering safety assistance turned off... the steering "sticks" while trying initiate turns/adjustments. Turning straight after a curve becomes jerky and unsafe. Keeping straight in a lane without jerking an overcorrection can cause concern. This is also adding to hand/wrist fatigue over long distance commute. Bottom line it feels unsafe.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 32 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
