In owners’ own words
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseFiled with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the steering. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.
Steering produces a sticking sensation, specifically when traveling at speed on straight roads and slight steering adjustments are needed to correct course. When attempting to make the adjustments, more effort is needed for a very short amount of time, to get the steering to unstick.
Sticky steering observed at highway speed. Steering wheel would lose power assist or feel sticky or jerkiness briefly by giving steering wheel a very slight turn to either the left or right at highway speed when going straight. Complaint to dealer and already replaced steering rack under warranty once at 10000 miles.
Same issue with the '22/'23 Honda Civic, which the Integra is based on -- "sticky steering"
The steering wheel sticks at times. Driving straight and in turns. It's a slight stick, but increasingly more noticeable. While driving straight it happens if I don't touch the wheel for a few seconds. Then I'll need to make a minor correction and it's stuck.
Car at around 3K miles. The steering at higher speeds >40mph started to stick and takes some force to steer. It is most noticeable when driving in a straight line and the steering wheel will require some force to turn but then will be more fluid. But then returning to a straight line causes the same sticky feeling.
