2023 Acura INTEGRA 5 HB FWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2023 Acura INTEGRA 5 HB FWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Standard
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Component Complaints

Choose a component to see what complaints people have made about them.

Complaint:
"this issue is very similar (same as) to the issue described in nhtsa investigation ea23003 (momentary increased steering effort). the issue occurs at highway speeds after the vehicle warms up. while driving straight there is a slight resistance to a steering change that results in an overcorrection to steering that then will need to be followed by another correction in the opposite direction to keep vehicle tracking straight. the magnitude of corrections in themselves don't force the vehicle out of the lane but are a major driving distraction that removes focus from critical driving activities like monitoring traffic & road conditions. effectively, this issue prevents optimal vehicle steering position without constant small steering adjustments."
Components Involved: STEERING
Date of incident: 2026-06-01
Complaint:
"the steering is malfunctioning and is available for inspection. the steering wheel is stiff and sticky at high speeds and when driving in a straight line. before this began, i could move my steering wheel very smoothly to adjust for minor positional changes within my lane. now, the steering wheel freezes in place, so a very slight left or right position has be veering towards one side. i have to apply noticeably more force to dislodge the steering wheel from its stuck position to correct the car's trajectory. my safety and the safety of others is at risk. i am afraid that driving at high speeds and needing to make rapid adjustments to avoid collision will be catastrophic due to unnatural steering and needing to apply significantly more force to move the wheel. i have not taken the car to the dealership, however, the problem has been reported numerous times on online forums and confirmed by other dealerships. the vehicle has not been inspected by anyone since the car's last oil change 3 months ago. there were no warning signs, messages or symptoms of the problem before it appeared."
Components Involved: STEERING
Date of incident: 2026-02-01
Complaint:
"the steering is sticking while traveling a low and high speeds. you have to pull the wheel to break the sticking wheel. this most frequently occurs at highway speeds. this is not occurring due to lane departure or other adas system error as they are not engaged. this has been happening for a few weeks now and appears to be a known issue by honda/acura with no recall or resolve."
Components Involved: STEERING
Date of incident: 2026-07-01
Complaint:
"after approximately 15 minutes of driving at highway speeds, the steering wheel felt "sticky." making small, lane keeping adjustment suddenly took much more effort and felt very notchy and jerky. when turning, the steering wheel did not return to center as normal, but had to forcibly returned to a center position. it was uncomfortable and felt unsafe, like it would be difficult to fully control the vehicle, especially in the event of an emergency. it made the small, normal adjustments of driving much, much more difficult. i made an appointment with the dealer of the car and was told that their was a failure in the steering rack/power steering system that caused the symptoms. i was told parts would take 5 months to arrive. there was no warning light, audio signal, or any other indication that the failure was about to occur. the issue disappears under 40 miles an hour, but reappears immediately once highway speeds are achieved. once turned off and rested for several minutes the car will steer normally until the same 10-15 minute period of highway speeds."
Components Involved: STEERING
Date of incident: 2026-03-01
Complaint:
"my car has the known "sticky steering" issue associated with this and many '22, '23, and '24 vehicles from honda. it's been mild and almost imperceptible for a while until recently getting worse. i'd have a hard time knowing when it started; probably 6-8 months ago which was about a year into owning the car."
Components Involved: STEERING
Date of incident: 2026-07-01
Complaint:
"the steering wheel feels like it is getting stuck when making small adjustments. it requires a momentary increase in force to overcome the resistance which causes the car to not drive smoothly. it seems like the issue is getting worse as time goes on. i am worried that this will eventually lead to an overcorrection and potential crash. i have reached out to the service center at the dealership and have not received a call back yet to resolve this issue. my wife has the same car and she is not experiencing this issue yet but when i drive her car, it makes the steering issue in my car much more apparent in comparison."
Components Involved: STEERING
Date of incident: 2024-10-11
Complaint:
"at highway speeds my steering wheel sticks when trying to make small steering adjustments. when the wheel finally releases it causes an exaggerated movement in the steering wheel causing the car to jerk left or right depending on the steering input."
Components Involved: STEERING
Date of incident: 2026-06-01
Complaint:
"after i reached about 8k miles, i started to get the “sticky steering”. it’s more noticeable at higher speeds, but it’s noticeable in general. the steering is no longer smooth and while driving, it’s almost like you’re battling with it to keep a straight line."
Components Involved: STEERING
Date of incident: 2023-01-11
Complaint:
"my power steering started out notchy and now it’s actually sticking in some cases and i can hear noises when i turn the steering wheel when i’m at a stop. the problem started after my first oil change around 6500 miles and it’s actually getting worse where i can feel it more and more. i told the dealer and they said they have no fix for the problem with no updated parts and then i should complain on this website to make it known."
Components Involved: STEERING
Date of incident: 2026-04-01
Complaint:
"around the 8,000 mile mark, a problem with “sticky/jerky” steering appeared. the problem is much more noticeable at speeds over 50 mph, but it can also be felt at lower speeds. the steering wheel does not rotate smoothly. instead, it constantly gets stuck at various spots, and it requires additional driver force to angle it to the desired position. this constant adjustment causes the car to move in a noticeable zig zag fashion, and it much more apparent at highway speeds due to the amount of distance covered per every steering adjustment. at times, it feel dangerous since you are constantly fighting to stay within your lane. countless reports have surfaced online, and it seems to be affecting the acura integra lineup as well as the 11th generation honda civic lineup. the flaw appears to be with a faulty worn gear in the steering shaft."
