Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
3
+1 complaint in 30 days
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Steering
Filed Oct 28, 2026

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.

Steering
Filed Oct 13, 2026

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.

Filed Jan 31, 2026

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.
