The steering on this 2026 Acura Integra at 5000 miles has progressively become sticky and stuck while driving. Although the 2026 model is not in the prior recall, (it should be added to include 2026 model) the same defect has occurred in this new model. The dealer is aware and is replacing the Steering Wheel Assembly on my car.
The steering gets sticky and hard to control and make small corrections at highway speeds. It feels very unsafe to drive as the steering feels like im ping ponging on the road and causes me to get close to others cars almost causing a crash. This has been on going since September of this year and I only bought the car in March of this year 2026. Please help.
I was on my way home from work this morning and all warning lights (electric power steering, ABS, collision control warning, brake system sensors, etc.) randomly came on and the steering became very still. When parking, I wasn’t able to turn the car off without pressing the “push to start” button multiple times.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
