While approaching a slowing car on the offramp, the Acura's automatic braking slammed on the brakes abruptly while flashing "Brake" on the dash. The car stopped well short of the car in front. This abrupt, uncommanded stopping resulted in a near miss whereby the driver behind my car nearly hit me. In addition to stopping sooner than required, and thus giving the driver behind me less chance to react, the system did not apply full braking force, but more like 90-95% of maximum braking force. This is an example of Schroedinger's automatic emergency braking, where a situation is simultaneously "unavoidable" such that the car intervenes, yet not dire enough to apply full braking. This car will stop from 60mph in less than 110 feet, but the system appears to be calibrated for a much lower performance car with tires made of wood, such as an A-Spec or Technology Package Acura. This car has had previous incidents of defective automatic braking at low speeds, however with nobody behind me these did not result in a near miss. During the 20 months that I have owned the car it has slammed the brakes while pulling into my garage as well. For some inexplicable reason, Acura's calibration engineers think that I am going to drive through my water heater and furnace after 25 years of driving with no accidents. Due to these previous incidents, I had adjusted the "distance" parameter for the AEB to the shortest allowable, but it still activates unnecessarily. While this low speed braking defect will not cause a serious injury or fatality, it is yet another example of the poor execution that plagues this car. In summary, the automatic braking system on this car is dangerous and unusual, and is mis-calibrated considering the performance capability of the car.

2025 Acura Integra A Spec- I have driven the car around 12,000 miles total and recently have been noticing the steering wheel is “sticking” intermittently. Very dangerous especially because it’s more likely to happen on the highway on long gradual turns

The driver seat is not made to be at appropriate lowering and lifting levels for driver safety in drives. It should allow for 120 degree angles but doesn't. SINCE leasing this vehicle my circulation has slowed and I am experiencing daily leg cramps and foot pain. It can dangerously cause blood clots if I don't get out of this vehicle soon. It's been about 8 months and I've been getting worse. I wobble when I walk now from the pain in both legs. I've reported this to my doctor and I have no medical blood tests that signify a reason for this pain. The seat hits the back of my knee. Bending my leg at the proper level causes me to have to use my ankle in awkward positions which is now causing my achilles to over-tighten and my heel to hurt. Others complain of the seats as well with similar issues in Acura Integra forums. This car is making me sick and I have no other recourse. I may need to begin a lawsuit if I cannot get them to take this car back due to this defect. I miss days from work to recuperate from the pain at times or I suffer through it. In the RDX and MDX I had no problem. I never suspected this car would do this to me.
