Acura Integra reliability: problems and recalls.
Owners filed 310 complaints about the 2000 to 2025 Acura Integra with the government, most about steering.
No Lemon Index score yet: too few model years have finished our complaint window, so here's what YouTube owners say, next to the raw complaint counts.
YouTube rank and complaints, by model year
Show 6 older years (1994–1999, YouTube videos only)
YouTube rank: we read 398 YouTube videos about the Acura Integra and ranked each year with 10 or more videos by how much they praise it vs. how much they talk about problems. It measures tone, not failure rates. Complaints are the raw number owners filed with NHTSA: popular years draw more partly because more were sold, and without usable sales figures we can't turn them into a per-car score.
