2000 Acura Integra problems
The Honda Integra (Japanese: ホンダ インテグラ, Hepburn: Honda Integura), sold in North America as the Acura Integra and later the Acura RSX, is an automobile produced by the Japanese company Honda from 1985 until 2006, and then since 2021. It succeeded the Quint as a more luxurious and sport-oriented derivative of the Civic. The Integra was one of the launch models for Acura in the US in 1986 alongside the Acura Legend. Throughout its production run, the Integra was highly regarded for its handling and performance. The 1995–2001 Integra Type R is widely regarded as one of the best front-wheel-drive cars of all time.
The Integra nameplate was revived in 2021 after a 16-year hiatus. The Honda Integra nameplate is used for a restyled Honda Civic sedan for the Chinese market, while the Acura Integra nameplate is used for a Civic-based liftback for North America, replacing the Acura ILX.
First generation (1985)
This vehicle debuted in Japan in February 1985 as the Honda Quint Integra, available only at Honda's Japanese dealership sales channel Honda Verno before going on sale a year later in North America as part of the then-new luxury Acura lineup. The three-door liftback was the only model available originally, with a five-door arriving in October 1985. The four-door saloon bodystyle became available in Japan in the autumn of 1986. Only the liftback versions were sold in the U.S. A 1.6 L DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine powered most versions. The engine was the vehicle's most publicized feature, as DOHC, multi-valve engines were not commonplace in entry-level models at the time. In most European countries, only the five-door liftback was offered, as a replacement for the Honda Quint. Typically for European Integras, only the 1.5-liter 85 PS (63 kW; 84 hp) 4 Weber carburetors engine was available. The five-door liftback model was also sold in Australia rebadged as the Rover 416i. Except for in Britain, Honda did not offer the more powerful 1.6 DOHC fuel injection engine (in the UK known as the Integra EX16) in Europe. The ZC engine was also shared with the Honda Concerto, which was sold at newly established Japanese dealership sales channel called Honda Clio, which sold luxury oriented products like the Honda Legend.
In Japan, while the VX- and RX-trimmed four-door (DA2) used the 1.5 L EW5 engine, all other model and trim combinations offered only the DOHC ZC engine, with a carburetor on GS, ZS, and LS trim packages, and PGM-FI on the top level GSi three- and five-door, and the RSi three-door trim package. Vehicles installed with a carburetor earned 15.4 km/L (44 mpg‑imp; 36 mpg‑US) in Japanese Government emissions tests and 115 PS (84.6 kW; 113.4 bhp), and 26 km/L (73 mpg‑imp; 61 mpg‑US) at consistent speeds above 60 km/h (37.3 mph). Vehicles with PGM-FI earned 14.4 km/L (41 mpg‑imp; 34 mpg‑US) in Japanese Government emissions tests with 135 PS (99.3 kW; 133.2 bhp), and 24.5 km/L (69 mpg‑imp; 58 mpg‑US) above 60 km/h (37.3 mph). In Japan, the Integra took the entry level marketing position at Honda Verno, below the sporty Prelude and larger, luxury focused Vigor.
Compared to the US, the European Integra was aimed downmarket and generally lacked equipment, with neither trim level (LX or EX) offering painted bumpers, central locking, power windows, nor air conditioning, even though a small number of fully equipped, left-hand drive fuel-injected Integras were sold in the Netherlands. The Integra EX16 did offer a sunroof, painted bumpers, a rear spoiler and Hi-Fi stereo equipment, but neither electric windows, central locking nor air conditioning were available. This was considered as a drawback to its European competitors such as the Peugeot 309 1.6 injection and the Renault 11 Turbo, that all could be equipped with comprehensive, albeit expensive, equipment. The first Integra never became as popular in Europe as it did in the US, but was praised by most motor magazines for its styling and overall road performance. The styling reflected the popularity of Honda's performance coupe, the Honda Verno sports coupe companion Honda Prelude, with the Integra offering a coupe for added cargo accommodation, and a slightly smaller appearance to the larger Honda Vigor. Largely unencumbered by emissions regulations, British market cars produce 85 PS (63 kW) in the 1.5 and 125 PS (92 kW) in the 1.6-liter EX16.
Being designed as the successor of the Honda Quint, the Integra is closely related to the Civic, although it featured a small list of key upgrades over its smaller stablemate to help merit a price increase over the CRX Si, which was otherwise the sportiest subcompact vehicle being offered by Honda Verno; enlarged 4-wheel disc brakes replaced the small front-disc/rear-drum setup used by the Civic and CRX, suspension calibration was re-worked, better tires were used and a 113-hp DOHC fuel-injected 16-valve engine was used in place of the SOHC unit from the CRX Si. Just like the Prelude and the Vigor of that period, the Integra featured sleek, sporty pop-up headlights, like its Japanese dealership Honda Verno stablemates, with the CRX adopting semi-concealed doors over the headlights. Nearly 228,000 units were sold during the four-year run of the first-generation model, most of them in the United States.
The first-generation Acura Integra came with 1.6-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder (D16A1) engine which received an update mid-cycle. The 86–87 engine is commonly called the "Browntop" while the 88–89 engines are referred to as the "Blacktop" due to the color of their valve covers. The improvements in the "blacktop" engine included lighter rods, domed pistons for slightly higher compression, and an electric advance distributor (the "browntop" came with a vacuum advance distributor). The overall gain in performance was about 5 hp (3.7 kW) for 118 hp (88.0 kW).
The Integra received a minor facelift for the 1988 model year which featured slightly reshaped indicator lights, an improved climate control system and an update of the instrument clocks. In Europe, the Integra five-door Liftback was discontinued in October 1989 following the launch of the Rover-based Honda Concerto.
This was the only generation to offer 3-, 4-, and 5-door models. Production of the 5-door liftback ceased in 1988.

SEAT BELTS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2013-02-08
- Components: SEAT BELTS
- Summary: I PURCHASED MY INTEGRA IN 2012 WITH 75,000 MILES AND TO THIS DAY THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT HAS COME UNDONE MULTIPLE TIME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS BEING CAUSED BY A SEAT COVER BUT AFTER REMOVING THE SEAT COVER IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. *TR
SEAT BELTS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2010-03-16
- VIN: JH4DB7554YS
- Components: SEAT BELTS
- Summary: THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLE COMES UNDONE ON ITS OWN. THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH MULTIPLE PASSENGERS (~5) OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS (2003-2010). THE REPORTED DATE ON THIS INCIDENT IS THE DATE OF LAST OCCURRENCE. THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED, NO RECORDS WERE KEPT BECAUSE IT WASN'T OBVIOUS THAT THE ISSUE WAS A ONE-OFF INCIDENT DUE TO INCORRECTLY INSERTING THE BUCKLE. EACH TIME, THE BELT BUCKLE MADE AN AFFIRMATIVE CLICKING SOUND WHEN INSERTED, BUT GETS UNDONE OWN ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT COMES UNDONE, A FAINT CLICKING SOUND CAN BE HEARD, FOLLOWED BY THE LATCH WITHDRAWING SLOWLY. THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE REPRODUCED BY LATCHING AND UNLATCHING THE BUCKLE, AND ACURA DOES REFUSES TO REPLACE THE BUCKLE. *TR
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2007-09-26
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: I OWN A 2000 ACURA INTEGRA (BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM A DEARLERSHIP IN NJ) TOWARDS THE END OF 2000. I FEEL QUITE STRONGLY THAT MANY ACURA MODELS HAVE DEFECTS WITH THEIR "SRS LIGHTS" COMING ON UNEXPECTEDLY ON AUTOMOBILES. LAST YEAR, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A CLOCK SPRING WHICH WAS REPLACED. THIS YEAR, THE SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS WAS TOTALLY A SHOCK TO ME SINCE I THOUGHT THAT AIRBAGS ARE USUALLY REPLACED WHEN THEY ARE DAMAGED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT OR AFTER THEY ARE DEPLOYED. I HAD THE AIRBAG REPLACED AND IT COST OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO DO SO. I HAD CONTACTED MY INSURANCE AGENT AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF AN AIRBAG BEING REPLACED OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE SKY. AFTER THE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED, I REQUESTED FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE AIRBAG THAT WAS REMOVED FROM MY CAR TO HAVE IT INSPECTED INDEPENDENTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD NOT TAKE IT SINCE THEY HAVE TO DISPOSE OF IT THEMSELVES FOR SAFETY REASONS. I NOTICED IN DOING SOME OF MY OWN RESEARCH THAT SRS LIGHTS COMING ON QUITE A BIT IN ACURA'S AND IT IS DEFINITELY A COMPLAINT FROM MANY CUSTOMERS AND THIS INFO CAN BE FOUND BY DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL (02V196) ON THE 2001 ACURA INTEGRA MODEL WITH DESCRIPTION "PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULES WERE TO PROPERLY WELDED AND MAY NOT DEPLOY IN A COLLISION". I TRIED CONTACTING ACURA DIRECTLY VIA LETTER AND PHONE AND TO NO AVAIL. THEY ARE UNCOOPERATIVE. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER SINCE ITS MIND-BOGGLING TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT AN AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OUT OF THE BLUE AND CONSIDERING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY CAR OWNERS OF ACURA MODELS, ITS NOT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD VERY WELL BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. PERHAPS A COMPONENT RATHER THAN A WHOLE BAG NEEDED REPLACEMENT. PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS MATTER SINCE YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE TO SOLVE THIS UNFORTUNATE MATTER. *TR

I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION FOR OVER 2 WEEKS AND IT WILL BE ANOTHER WEEK BEFORE I CAN PICK MY CAR UP.

I HAD IT TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP LAST FRIDAY. 2 DAYS AGO THEY CALLED TO INFORM ME A BOLT HAD COME OFF INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION NOT THE BOLT!!! IT WOULD COST $2550.00 AND WOULD NOT BE READY UNTIL NEXT WEEK. I INFORMED THEM I WANTED A DETAILED REPORT ON EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND ALL DAMAGED PARTS. I HAVE HIGH MILEAGE ON MY AUTO (82,000) AND IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I DON'T THINK IT IS REASONABLE FOR A BOLT TO FALL OFF AND DESTROY A RELATIVELY NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS IS MY 2ND INTEGRA ... I PURCHASED MY 1ST NEW INTEGRA IN 1992 AND HAD IT 9 YEARS WITH 186,000 MI BEFORE I SOLD IT. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I HAD THE ENTIRE TIME I OWNED IT WAS REPLACING THE RADIATOR. THIS IS THE REASON I PURCHASED THE 2ND ONE. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *NLM

SEAT BELTS,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2000-07-25
- Components: SEAT BELTS,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: TWO SMALL HORN BUTTONS ARE LOCATED IN THE PERIPHERY OF THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE 3:00 AND 9:00 POSITIONS RATHER THAN IN THE CENTER AS WITH OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. AS I WAS PROCEEDING PAST A MINI-BUS THAT STOPPED IN THE LEFT HAND LAND IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE, THE BUS CHANGED LANES ABRUPTLY INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE. I BRAKED HARD, TURNED TO THE RIGHT, AND TRIED TO SOUND THE HORN. WHEN THE WHEEL WAS TURNED FROM STRAIGHT AHEAD IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE THE HORN BUTTONS WITHOUT LOOKING AWAY FROM THE ROAD. I SUGGEST THAT THE MANUFACTURER BE DIRECTED TO PROVIDE A STANDARD CENTER LOCATION FOR THE HORN BUTTON SUCH THAT IT CAN BE FOUND WITHOUT LOOKING. IN THE SECOND OCCURENCE I TRIED TO FASTEN A CHILD CAR SEAT INTO THE READ SEAT. WHILE ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE THE SEAT BELT FOLDED OVER INSIDE THE SLOT OF THE MALE BUCKLE, JAMMING. IT TOOK OVER 10 MINUTES OF WORKING AT THE BELT TO FREE IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE MIGHT BE FRUSTRATED BY THIS AND NOT USE THE SEAT BELT IF IT OCCURRED. TWO REMEDIES COULD BE PROVIDED. ONE WOULD BE TO MAKE THE OPENING IN THE BUCKLE FOR THE BELT SMALLER, OR USE A THICKER BELT, SUCH THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE BELT TO FOLD OVER. THE OTHER OPTION WOULD BE TO MAKE THE BUCKLE SLOT OPENING WIDER SUCH THAT THE BELT IF IT FOLDED OVER COULD BE MORE EASILY RELEASED. *AK

Last car was an Olds. This is a real treat..... No problems it's a quick car.
-
The best car that I have driven to date. Smooth ride, solid handling. No complaints whatsoever. I could keep this car forever!!
-
I really enjoy driving this car, especially on curvy and fast roads like the PCH. Although the engine noise is noticeable inside the cabin, I personally find it quite charming. The front headroom is a bit limited, and the back seat has even less, but overall it's still a comfortable ride. The cupholders are unfortunately not adjustable and can get in the way of the gearshift, making it difficult to park if I have anything larger than a cup of coffee. However, I'm happy to report that I haven't experienced any mechanical issues, aside from the occasional difficulty in closing the hatchback. It usually takes a few tries before it stays shut.
-
I see that you bought your gsr in September 2003 and you love it! It sounds like it's really fun to drive. I agree that they should have never stopped making these cars. The leather seats sound really comfortable and the transmission sounds nice and tight. It must be awesome when the vtec kicks in and you can feel the extra power it gives you. It's great that it handles so well on the stock suspension and wheel and tire set up. Overall, it sounds like you have a really great car!
-
I've owned this car for 6 years and it still runs great. The gas mileage is on par with most Civics of this time. It's still comfortable and was a great investment I made. A couple of months ago, I thought about selling my car and getting something bigger, but since gas prices went up, I changed my mind.

I bought the GS-R as a new car after trading in my 9-year-old 3 series BMW. While the GS-R is a great car, it hasn't held up as well as my BMW and doesn't handle or drive as well as my old car did. However, if you're looking for a Civic on steroids with leather, this is the perfect car for you. It can be a bit noisy at highway speeds and uncomfortable on long trips, but it's an absolute blast to drive around town on short trips.

This is a fantastic vehicle for people under 5'10
