STEERING

186 complaintsSafety-related

Owners of the 2023 Acura Integra frequently report issues with "sticky" steering, where the steering wheel resists movement and requires extra force to adjust, often resulting in overcorrection. This problem is described as occurring at both high and low speeds, with many owners noting it becomes more pronounced after driving for several miles. Complaints often mention a jerky or pixelated movement of the steering wheel, and in some cases, an audible clunking sound accompanies the issue. The mileage at which these problems occur varies, with reports starting as early as 10,000 miles. Safety implications are significant, as two complaints involve crashes attributed to steering failures, highlighting potential risks of loss of control. This information is crucial for potential buyers to consider, especially if looking at vehicles with higher mileage or those that have not undergone steering repairs.

186 complaints total2 crashes

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

5 complaints

Owners report several issues with the 2023 Acura Integra, with the most frequent being problems with the car's audio system amplifier, which fails and incurs high repair costs, with concerns about its longevity. Multiple owners describe issues with the vehicle's blind spot detection system, which incorrectly signals a vehicle in the blind spot when it is safe to change lanes. Other complaints include the sunroof unexpectedly shattering while driving, separation between the windshield and the A-frame that service departments attribute to a manufacturing defect, and an "Emissions system problem" alert that reduces engine power at around 6,000 miles. While no injuries or crashes are reported, the sunroof incident involves glass falling on occupants, indicating a potential safety risk.

5 complaints total

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

3 complaints

Owners of the 2023 Acura Integra frequently report issues with the vehicle's electrical system, particularly involving the audio system and unexpected shutdowns. One common complaint describes the sound system ceasing to produce audio despite the display and radio functions appearing normal, suggesting a potential defect in the electrical or audio components. Another issue involves the vehicle unexpectedly turning off entirely, affecting both the engine and electrical components, with owners noting this occurs around 10,000 miles after about eight months of ownership. While no crashes or fires are reported, the sudden loss of power could pose a safety risk. These patterns suggest potential electrical system concerns that prospective buyers should be aware of.

3 complaints total

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE (2 complaints)

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

2 complaints

Owners report issues with the adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance systems in the 2023 Acura Integra. Complaints frequently mention the adaptive cruise control unexpectedly engaging the brakes at high speeds without any vehicles nearby, sometimes slowing the car dramatically and risking rear-end collisions. Additionally, the lane-keeping assistance is described as steering the vehicle toward lane edges or even over lane markers, causing conflict with the lane-departure warning system. These issues persist despite recalibration efforts, and both incidents occur at freeway speeds, posing potential safety risks. The problems have been noted within the first few months of ownership, indicating they may manifest early in the vehicle's life.

2 complaints total

SERVICE BRAKES (2 complaints)

SERVICE BRAKES

2 complaints

Owners report issues with the 2023 Acura Integra's service brakes, with complaints frequently mentioning noise when braking and excessive brake pedal travel. One owner describes a persistent noise occurring each time the brakes are applied, despite multiple dealership visits. Another owner notes the brake pedal nearly reaches the floor before engaging, with the vehicle having only 7,500 miles, suggesting premature wear or malfunction. This issue is linked to a recall, though some affected vehicles may not be covered based on VIN. No safety incidents such as crashes or loss of control are reported, but potential buyers should be aware of these brake performance concerns at relatively low mileage.

2 complaints total

POWER TRAIN (2 complaints)

POWER TRAIN

2 complaints

Owners of the 2023 Acura Integra report issues with the manual transmission, particularly involving difficulty shifting gears and unexpected vehicle shutdowns. One complaint describes a stiff and difficult-to-shift manual gearbox, allegedly due to an improper downshift at high speed, resulting in potential transmission damage. Another owner reports the vehicle shutting off entirely, resembling a hard reset, where the engine and electrical system die, with some incidents leaving only a few electrical features operational. This shutdown occurs when stopping and attempting to accelerate, and has happened multiple times within the first 14,000 miles of ownership. Both issues pose safety risks, such as being stuck in traffic or potential accidents during unexpected shutdowns.

2 complaints total

AIR BAGS (2 complaints)

AIR BAGS

2 complaintsSafety-related

Owners of the 2023 Acura Integra report issues with airbag non-deployment during crashes. In two noted incidents, airbags fail to deploy despite significant impacts, including a rear-end collision at approximately 70 mph and a direct hit to the driver's side door. Both incidents result in injuries and mention that the seat belts do not lock as expected. These complaints highlight potential safety implications in crash scenarios, with owners specifically observing the lack of airbag activation and seat belt restraint during accidents. No specific mileage or timeline patterns emerge from the complaints.

Active but slow leak of oil coming from the front of the valve cover of the motor. The leak is leaking from the top down the block and eventually gets burned off or leaks onto the engine mount. The vehicle will be taken to the dealership for this issue and hope to get it looked at soon as the car has 27000 miles. From my understanding from the forums this is a common issue on this motor which needs new new valve cover gaskets to resolve the issue.

How We Calculate Reliability Scores

Auto Reliability Index scores are calculated on a 0–100 scale using a weighted formula that combines multiple public data sources. Each factor is weighted based on its predictive value for real-world ownership experience.

Key Ranking Factors

Complaint Severity

NHTSA owner complaints weighted by component category (e.g., powertrain, safety systems, electronics, cosmetic) — safety-critical issues carry more weight than cosmetic ones. Adjusted for sales volume so high-volume models aren't unfairly penalized.

Repair Costs

Independent reliability ratings based on repair frequency, average repair costs, and severity of typical repairs for each model.

Recall Impact

Number of NHTSA recalls weighted by severity. “Stop driving” and fire-risk recalls are penalized more heavily than minor software or labeling recalls.

Issue Diversity

Measures how many major vehicle systems (engine, transmission, electrical, braking, etc.) have recorded complaints. A vehicle with issues spread across many systems may indicate systemic quality issues.

Scores are grouped into four tiers:

80–100: Excellent— Top-tier reliability, minimal issues
60–79: Good— Reliable with some minor concerns
40–59: Mixed— Notable issues, research before buying
0–39: Risky— Significant problems, proceed with caution

Data is sourced from NHTSA recall records, owner complaint filings, and independent repair databases. Scores are recalculated as new data becomes available. While the weighting model is proprietary, all underlying data sources are public and traceable.
