2024 Acura Integra Problems

What owners report

Most complaints for this model year concern steering, and owners most often describe sticky or stiff steering that resists small corrections, especially at highway speed, sometimes leading to overcorrection. Where mileage is stated, most reports fall between about 2,000 and 10,000 miles, so they mostly come from early ownership. Some owners say dealers could not reproduce the problem, or that repair parts were on backorder.

   Sticky steering that resists small corrections

   • 46 complaints (72%)
   • typically at 0.2 yrs old
   • filed 2023–2026

   Owners describe steering that sticks or feels stiff when making small adjustments, often after a period of highway driving. The wheel can resist and then release with a jerk, which some say makes them over-correct or drift within their lane. Some report the steering wheel does not return to center after a turn, and a few mention the same feel with lane-keeping assistance turned off, with some saying the symptom is worse in colder weather. Where mileage is stated, these reports fall between about 2,000 and 10,000 miles, often after extended highway driving.

   Recall 24V7440002 related service bulletins

   What to check: Ask whether the steering gearbox recall (campaign 24V-744) and the service bulletin on the wheel not returning to center have been completed, and request those records. On a test drive at highway speed, make small corrections and a gentle turn, then check whether the wheel returns to center smoothly and whether extra force is needed.

   2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records

   “The steering intermittently sticks and requires more force before it releases in a jerk. This can cause more steering angle than desired or required. The issue seems to be getting worse. My symptoms seem to match the 2023 issue : EA23003, but my car is a 2024 model year. I suspect nothing in the steering system changed between model years however.”

   NHTSA complaint #11565243, filed 2024-01

   “My Integra is doing what others have dubbed sticky steering . About a month ago, I noticed the steering wasn't smooth and felt like it wasn't going to turn (tho it HAS always turned) it just feels like it's sticking. It gets worse sometimes and then I turn the wheel back and forth (once turned off) and it seems to help some, but it comes back happening again where it feels like it sticks. …”

   Steering

   Dealer could not reproduce; repairs or parts delayed

   • 21 complaints (33%)
   • median 7,750 mi at 0.4 yrs old (2 state mileage, few)
   • filed 2023–2026

   Owners describe visiting the dealer more than once without the steering symptom being found, since the problem seems to come and go. According to complaints, the dealer inspected the car, found no fault code, and could not recreate the problem, and in another case a recall steering remedy did not stop the symptom. Other owners say the steering rack, column or other parts were on backorder, so repairs were delayed for months. Most of these complaints do not record mileage, and the complaint that does lists approximately 12,000 miles.

   Recall 24V744000

   What to check: Ask the dealer whether the steering recall remedy has been performed and whether any steering parts are on order for this car, and request written records of the recall work and parts orders. Because the symptom can be intermittent, ask the seller to describe when it happens and try a longer test drive at highway speed before buying.

   “This is an ongoing issue regarding this vehicle's steering where it can become very hard to turn the steering wheel when going highway speeds. I tried calling a dealer and corporate, and they both told me that parts are not available and I have to wait.”

   NHTSA complaint #11623216, filed 2024-11

   “The steering sticks. I have taken it to the dealer three times and they can’t find anything wrong. It happens a lot when I’m driving but they haven’t felt it on a short test drive. It’s happens frequently, just not enough for the dealer to notice.”

   Steering

   Steering briefly locks, seizes, or freezes

   • 16 complaints (25%)
   • median 3,500 mi at 0.5 yrs old (1 states mileage, few)
   • filed 2023–2026

   Some owners describe the wheel locking in place for a moment at cruising speed, so that corrections need extra force and the wheel then moves too far. Others describe a seized wheel that is hard to turn in either direction, or a wheel that freezes and shakes with a steering warning message on the display. In a few cases the wheel stays stuck until it is pulled or tugged free. Where mileage is given, these reports fall between about 3,500 and 5,700 miles, and another owner notes the problem was noticed within two weeks of purchase.

   What to check: Ask whether any steering warning messages or steering-related repairs have been recorded, and request the service history. On a test drive at highway speed, make small steering corrections and a gentle turn to see whether the wheel catches or stops for a moment, and ask a mechanic to check the electric power steering system for stored codes.

   “I purchased this car 2 weeks ago and noticed when I drive over 45 mph the steering wheel kind of freezes up and shakes. A warning sign pops up that say steering required and has a symbol of a steering wheel with hands on each side of it. This lasts for about 10 seconds or so, then goes away. Feels really scary like I could get into an accident. This is the first place I have reported the problem to.”

   NHTSA complaint #11727000, filed 2026-03

   “Sticky steering, when trying to make small adjustments the steering wheel feels locked and takes more of a rotation to get it “unstuck”. This causes me to look like I’m swerving almost just trying to make a small adjustment to the steering wheel.”

   NHTSA complaint #11589235, filed 2024-05

Buying note. Buyers considering this model year may want to test the steering at highway speed, including after a longer drive, and ask whether the steering gearbox recall and the related service bulletin have been completed. Because many complaints describe an intermittent symptom that dealers could not reproduce, a longer test drive and written dealer records can help show how the car behaves.

Summary written with AI from a sample of 60 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. Other counts refer to the sample.
