New Car Assessment Program
The 1993ACURAINTEGRA carries 29 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 1 crash, 0 fires, 1 injury, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 1993 INTEGRA is seat belts with 3 filings, followed by electrical system:ignition (3) and seat belts:front:anchorage (2). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 3 investigation files overlapping the 1993 INTEGRA, and 2 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

20141102FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN THE WEATHER IS IN THE HIGH 80S OR 90S, MY CAR WON'T START. IT TURNS OVER OKAY; THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM/BATTERY IS FINE. AFTER ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES OR LONGER, THE CAR WILL FINALLY START BUT IS NOT NECESSARILY OKAY FOR TRIPS. AT THE FIRST STOP THE SAME PROBLEM MAY OR MAY NOT OCCUR AGAIN. WHEN THE TEMP GOES DOWN IN THE FALL, THE CAR IS FINE AND RUNS BEAUTIFULLY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR ONLY BUT HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I THINK THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY SOMETHING IN THE FUEL INTAKE SYSTEM BUT HAVE NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE THIS. FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS OF THE YEAR I AM FORCED TO DO ALL MY SHOPPING IN THE VERY EARLY MORNING OR AT NIGHT AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM SOMETIMES THEN. *TR
