New Car Assessment Program
The 2001ACURAINTEGRA carries 6 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, 2 injuries, 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 2001 INTEGRA is tires with 2 filings, followed by steering: steering wheel/handle bar (1) and engine and engine cooling:engine (1). 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. This model year has 5 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 3 investigation files overlapping the 2001 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.

(847) 991 9000 BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL MAY 31, 2005. THEY HAVE HAD IT ALL NOW THEY TELL ME THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY SAID SOMETHING BROKE IN THE ENGINE THAT'S WHY IT STOPPED RUNNING. I THINK THEY SHOULD FIX IT BUT THEY KEEP SAYING THEY WILL NOT. WHY DO THEY PUT A WARRANTY ON A CAR IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STAND BEHIND IT. I NEED YOU HELP TO GET IT FIXED.
