Sticky steering on other Integra years
No other Integra model year has enough reports of sticky steering for a sheet of its own. See every Integra year.
What this problem usually is
Sticky steering is a wheel that catches or hangs for a moment before it turns, then moves in a small jerk. It's different from a wheel that's simply heavy: owners here describe a notch, and many say it's worst when making small corrections at highway speed.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the steering rack (18 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.

“When driving, particularly at highway speeds, the steering will stick and get tight, it makes the car difficult to maintain in the lane and requires effort to regain control. It is a dangerous condition. It does not always do it and is sometimes worse than others. This began occurring within the first 1,000 miles, now at about 10,000 miles.”

“Steering feels sticky, and wheel vibrates when turning it slowly in either direction. Vibration goes away when turning wheel in faster, sweeping motions - it's only noticeable when making small adjustments to steering. Started happening suddenly roughly after 12k miles.”

“For the past 4,000 miles or so, steering wheel has experienced slight jerks or moments of "stickiness" when driving at highway speeds. Incidents occur during all types of temperature and weather conditions. Turning the Lake Keeping Assist system on or off has no impact on steering wheel issues.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 2 of 159 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.
