What owners report
Owners of the 1995 Acura Integra most often describe air bags that did not deploy in crashes, and some describe air bags deploying without any impact. Another group of complaints describes ABS warning lights, ABS pumping, or brakes locking up, while the remaining reports cover a range of other topics such as engine and fire problems. Where mileage is given, the air bag complaints are at about 114,000 to 170,000 miles.
- Air bags
Airbags failing to deploy or deploying unexpectedly
- 19 complaints (37%)
- median 142,000 mi at 14.9 yrs old (2 state mileage, few)
- 15 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 1995–2017
Owners describe air bags not deploying in collisions, including frontal crashes, barrier impacts, and crashes that followed brake or steering failures. Some describe air bags deploying while driving with no collision or impact. According to complaints, the reason was often not determined, and in some reports no air bag warning light appeared before the crash. Where mileage is given, these complaints are at about 114,000 to 170,000 miles, and some describe crashes at 40 mph or more.
What to check: Ask whether the air bag warning light comes on at startup and goes off normally, and whether any air bag or crash repairs are on record. A pre-purchase inspection can check the air bag system and look for stored fault codes.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“While waiting in line for car inspection, had the car in neutral with the hand brake on, I then put the car in drive and suddenly it lunged forward. Trying not to hit other cars, but could not stop the car. Finally I hit a guard rail, bounced off a curb and hit a truck and finally smashed into a concrete wall. Air bags did not deploy.”
NHTSA complaint #10151577, filed 2006-03, 114,000 miles“The driver was involved in a frontal collision. Both frontal air bags failed to deploy. This caused the driver to sustained minor injuries and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. The vehicle was towed to a garage. The cause has not been determined at this time. Please provide further details.”
NHTSA complaint #10096978, filed 2004-10 - Brakes
ABS warning light or unexpected ABS behavior
- 5 complaints (10%)
- typically at 5.7 yrs old
- 2 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 1996–2017
Owners describe the ABS warning light coming on, with the pump buzzing or the system disabling itself. Some describe the brake pedal not responding, or the brakes locking up while the car was moving, which led to a loss of control. According to complaints, a parking brake left slightly set at start-up can lead the ABS to register a failure, and the repair was described as costly because the whole system was reportedly needed. Mileage is not stated in these complaints; some occur at low speed or when starting with the parking brake partly set.
What to check: Ask whether the ABS warning light has been checked, and whether the parking brake and brake fluid have been inspected. On a test drive, confirm the ABS light goes out after startup and that the brake pedal feels firm.
Buying note. For a 1995 Integra, ask for records of any air bag, ABS, or brake repairs, and whether the air bag warning light works normally at startup. A pre-purchase inspection that covers the brakes, ABS warning light, and air bag system can show whether these concerns are present.
Summary written with AI from a sample of 23 NHTSA complaints for this model year (picked at random, with complaints that state a mileage and recent ones taken first), then checked automatically against the source records. Where a problem shows a complaint count, every complaint for this model year was matched with fixed keyword rules (written with AI and tested against the sample), and the mileage, age and repair figures are calculated from those complaints; owners' figures are as stated, not verified.

The Acura dealer (in omaha nebraska; 84th street) was queried about this problem and the service department employee indicated they had replaced three radiators in the previous few weeks. They stated this appeared to be a higher than normal failure rate. The individual provided me Acura's regional number and I called to advise them of this problem. …”
