2019 Acura RDX Complaint Log

I received the notification from Honda via Acura Link regarding my 2019 RDX Fuel Pump Manufacture Safety Recall on 12/18/2023. For additional references, a complaint was filed with Honda (Complaint No. 14397579). I have made several attempts with Acura Dealerships (McGrath Acura Morton Grove & McGrath Acura of Downtown Chicago) to have the fuel pump replaced. Each time I was advised that unless I am experiencing problems, they can not service my vehicle as the do not have the parts available. They did not even inspect my vehicle to assure me that my vehicle is safe to drive. Per NHTSA website it states "if the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury". But what about more severe damages for me, my passengers or others? What about additional out of pocket expenses for repairs/services that could occur because my vehicle was refused service? Now, when driving, I have anxiety every time I drive my vehicle when it stalls. I WANT MY CAR SERVICED & MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED ASAP!! National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), American Honda Motor Company, Inc. (Honda) and McGrath Acura Morton Grove & McGrath Acura of Downtown Chicago are hereby on notice that my RDX was not inspected. I was refused service and the recall has not been properly addressed even though NHTSA issued a recall to replace a defective fuel pump.

The back glass shattered without anything hitting it or any visible cracks prior to incident. The lift gate was opened via the automatic function and then closed with the automatic function. The trunk was empty and nothing was touching the glass. While closing the glass shattered and spidered the entire back glass. The temperature was about 45 F. The problem appears to be consistent in the 2019 to 2023 models according to Acura forums.

I’ve had this happen 4 times now with my 2019 RDX. The latest Is on 12/10/23. Low speed braking and the tac revels to over 5000. Vehicle lurches forward with both feet on the brake peddle nearly hit a car broadside that was moving perpendicular to me., Three times under warranty to the dealer who could find anything. They even had the factory rep , in who after keeping the car for 5 days replaced an abs sensor. Now that the warranty is up they want 120.00 an hour to diagnose the problem that they couldn’t before .. But this is a dangerous vehicle that.I’m scared to drive. After reviewing several forums this appears to be a know problem Acura won’t address.

When I got into my car and closed the front door the back windshield completely shattered. My car was parked and was not on yet. The glass from the back windshield had not been hit by anything external (there was nothing in the car that had come from the outside and there are cameras in the parking lot where I was which confirmed nothing had damaged it). If the back windshield's glass had shattered while I was driving the shock would have posed a severe safety concern for me and for others on the road. Additionally, if the back windshield glass had shattered as I was opening up the back door I could have gotten injured. The car was taken to have the back windshield glass replaced. When the car was serviced and ready to pick up I was informed that glass remains in the tailgate and can not be removed without the entire rear of the car being removed, cleaned and then replaced. Honda, Acura, the glass company and my insurance will all not fix this problem. Spontaneously shattering glass is a known problem with Honda Acuras and I have since learned there is a class action lawsuit about this problem. Honda Acura denies this claim. This car is a newly purchased vehicle.

We have now have 2 incidents where the rear hatch glass has imploded without warning or any previous cracks. The first incident was on 12/08/2023. My wife was getting into the car and the rear hatch glass imploded. We had to replaced by our insurance and Safelite. On January 8th 2025 my wife was leaving work and came out to the car. She got in and heard a crack from the back. She went out to the back of the car and notice the glass has cracked all over. Open opening the hatch the entire glass imploded in. Upon filing the second claim the Safelite tech stated this was a common theme in this make and model. Both incidents occurred while the car was warming up.

There was a recall for the fuel pump modules but the parts are not available at any dealership in my area and this is going on over a year. Acura keeps sending me direct mail that there is an issue but there is no solution.

GLASS WAS REPLACED BUT SINCE THE HATCH DOOR IS SOLID ONE PIECE ALL THE SHATTERED GLASS IS TRAPPED INSIDE AND LOUDLY SLIDES AROUND WHEN OPENEIN, CLOSING OR DRIVING. i WAS TOLD THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THE GLASS OUT WITHOUT REPLACING THE HATCH DOOR.

I have owned my RDX for four years and have 60,000 miles on the car. I was driving on a two lane road when a car was coming from the opposite side into my lane. I hit the horn and nothing. I repeatedly hit the horn and no sound came out. I was almost killed because I could not warn the other driver. I have probably used my horn a few dozen times since I have owned this car. This is a known problem and there is a service bulletin. My horn was replaced as it was defective. There was no warning. This could be a life and death issue and should be recalled by Acura.

The rear glass spontaneous exploded. The vehicle was parked in my driveway. It

I was driving on the highway and it was raining. I tried to pass another car so I started to accelerate. But during my attempt to accelerate, my 2019 Acura RDX would not respond to throttle response. So I slowly started to loose speed the car. The engine warning light started to flash and the car came to a stop on a dangerous road construction area with no medians. I had to turn on my hazards and wait ON THE ROAD at night. I quickly turned off the engine and tried to turn the engine on again. When I turned the engine on it no error codes were shown and the check engine light was gone. I started to drive again and was able to get to a service road. After a while I decided to try to keep driving so I could get home and when I was merging into the highway, it happened again. The same situation, I was accelerating when my engine decided to stop accelerating and flash the check engine light (it didn’t stall but it wouldn’t respond to throttle response). I stopped on the side of the road and turned the engine off before turning it on again. Again the check engine light was not on, and the car acted like nothing happened. It seems like accelerating to higher speed in the rain is a huge safety issue…

I purchased this Acura RDX model in 2019 and exported it to Europe, Moldova. Last Saturday when I just started moving my car accidentally got stall and repair service reported the fuel pump crash. I've start researching and learned that fuel pump issue is recognized by Acura and they do a change for this part. As I live in the Republic of Moldova is there a chance to receive this part? I can send you back the defective part as well. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My rear glass shattered and the broken glass went into the tailgate. Due to its design flaw, it's impossible to completely remove the shattered glass from the tailgate. This is a safety hazard as broken glass can fall out from the small holes on the tail gate. This is a known problem in our model, and the design flaw has been confirmed by an auto glass repair professional.

My car has been shaking on acceleration but no engine light or any warning popped up. When I called an Acura dealership, they said they would have trouble diagnosing the problem without a light on. A few days later, while accelerating on the highway, my car started shaking violently and lost power. The engine light started flashing. I could have gotten into an accident because I could no longer accelerate on the highway. I had to slowly pull off to a safe stop. This could have been a dangerous and life-threatening situation. Someone could have crashed into me behind me and I could not quickly get into a safe area. I brought it to an Acura dealership and they could not find anything. The engine light had turned off. Though, when I took the car again, the car was still shaking on acceleration. I was afraid to drive at normal speeds since it is extremely safe. I took it to another personal mechanic and he was able to reproduce the problem. He saw there is a service bulletin out for just this problem. The possible cause is “humid air within the intake tract May condense and accumulate excessive moisture during steady driving.” I would have to replace the intercooler system and get the PGM-Fl software updated. This is a safety issue, and Acura has not released any recalls on this. The dealerships are also saying it will not be covered by warranty for me.

The contact owns a 2019 Acura RDX. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the check engine warning light suddenly illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power and started to decelerate.

The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 57,000.

The rear windshield shattered while closing the driver door, glass pieces could fall into passenger on the back seat, Acura posted a Service Bulletin (22-014) on 10/28/2022. The vehicle hasn’t been inspected by the manufacturer. There wasn’t any service lights, it just randomly happened while closing the driver door, something to point out I did used the rear windshield defroster in the morning.

Car engine turned on and suddenly shut off as I was pulling onto a highway from a store driveway. As it was sudden and unexpected, as well as the first occurrence, this is highly dangerous to driver and passengers in the car.Problem confirmed by AAA auto repair shop, confirming it was due to a fuel pump failure . This car year, make and model is on recall for this exact item but my car is not on the list, despite the recent event. Dealer refusing to pay for replacement stating it’s not on the recall list. Insurance will be contacted shortly.

On 02/25/2023 our car abruptly stalled on us while driving without any warning in a remote area out of state over 3 hours away from our residence at night with temperatures below freezing with a minor in the car. We were lucky it happened on a back road and not on highway with hi velocity just an hour earlier because this would have killed us. The car came to a complete stall in the middle of the road, the red battery sign came on and the car would not start. We had a very poor cell phone reception, it took us over 3 hours to get a tow track, by the time the truck arrived we were shivering from cold. The car is impossible to put in neutral while in full stall that makes removing car from the road and towing near impossible. The car got towed to the nearest Acura repair center in PA. We were left with no car with a minor in the middle of the night in the cold out of state with very limited financial resources. As of now the car is still at the repair shop in PA, we are back in Maryland without any vehicle. The repair shop told us that there is no fuel pressure and it is likely fuel pump failure, that has already been reported and recalled on other Acura RDX 2019, but for some reason is not associated with our VIN. This is a major safety concern with a faulty part on a 4 years old car that could have potentially killed us and now is putting unimaginable financial, logistical and emotional hardship on us being left without a vehicle out of state and absolutely no timeline on when this very costly repair will be done due to unavailability of the part. Please issue a recall on this VIN ASAP before somebody will get hurt. It seems to be problem with many Acura RDX 2019 cars and is calling for much larger recalls then previously issued NHTSA recalls: 21V-215 FAM 2019-20 RDX Fuel Pump Motor Safety Recall Expansion and 20V-314 S7D2019 /RDX Fuel Pump Motor Safety Recall. This same exact fuel pump failure is reported all over the internet in forums and RDX 2019 reviews.

Rear window randomly shattered. Nothing hit the window and it simply shattered.

Woke up on 2/11/2023 and my whole rear window was shattered into a million pieces. No signs of anything thrown at or hitting it. Filed insurance claim to replace window but still have glass stuck in between frame and plastic because they can not remove plastics. They are welded to the body of vehicle. No warning signs or alerts. Luckily I was parked in my driveway and not driving when this occured. Had I been driving I probably would have caused an accident.

Once again, 3 weeks after the first time it happened, my 2019 ACURA RDX lost ALL power and I had to drift to the side of the road. This occurred on the Baldwin Beach Express and luckily there is not a lot of traffic this time of year so I could get on the shoulder. Car would not restart, all lights around the speedometer had come on. I had to have it towed to the Acura dealership in Mobile where it was towed the first time when this happened. At that time the told me they could not duplicate the problem. Three weeks later it has happened again . The tow truck driver tried to start the car and said " you're not getting any fuel" and asked if the fuel pump had been checked. Supposedly it has been replaced when it was first recalled. Could it be another faulty fuel pump? My question....how dangerous would this be if this happened in the I-10 Mobile tunnel?????? The first time it happened I tried to call Acura but the complaint department is not open on Sundays. This time it happened on a Friday and I was able to file my complaint. Will I get a response to this event now that it has happened a second time?

I was driving on the interstate at 75 miles per hour. The back window literally exploded. There was a very loud boom. Upon pulling over, I discovered that the window had shattered. Part of the glass fell down inside the car. We were not going under an overpass and did not hit anything that would have caused the glass to suddenly shatter. Acura has issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) but not a recall. Since the car was out of warranty, the repair is not covered. The internet is full of posts about unexplained glass shattering on 2019 Acura's. This is a safety issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Acura RDX. The contact stated that the rear windshield suddenly shattered after the contact entered the parked vehicle. There was no impact to cause the rear windshield to shatter. Additionally, the vehicle had not been turned on at the time of the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the windshield. The failure reoccurred. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000.

The rear windshield spontaneously shattered when I got in and closed the door. Temp was better 30-40F. I have seen so many complaints online about similar issue.

On January 16, 2023, at approximately 5:00 PM, I returned to my vehicle, a 2019 Acura RDX in a secured parking lot after work, got into the driver’s seat, closed the door, turned on the vehicle, and my rear windshield spontaneously shattered without any signs whatsoever of external impact. The entire rear windshield shattered from end to end without explanation. Upon further researching this issue, it appears to be a common problem with several model years of the Acura RDX. I reported this incident to Acura, corporate customer relations, who declined to offer any assistance for the problem, despite there being a technical service bulletin issued for this problem for all 2019 Acura RDX VINs. I was fortunate that this did not occur while my vehicle was in motion, however, the problem poses a serious safety issue that Acura refuses to do anything about. I’m not sure why they would issue a TSB yet decline to authorize a repair or replacement of the windshield. This is a common problem that is known to Acura and poses a safety issue to the motoring public.

While driving on interstate 65 headed towards Mobile, Al. My 2019 Acura RDX lost ALL power. Every light surrounding the speedometer was lighted. No power, nothing.. was able to coast from the right hand lane to the shoulder of the interstate. . No power steering and I was moving slower and slower because I was on a hill. Frightening to say the least. If I had been in the left hand lane I’m not sure I could have made it to the shoulder. And if a truck had been behind me an unable to change lanes I would have been smashed. Car towed to dealership.

When I was approaching my vehicle from the rear, I noticed my back window had chunks of glass missing and it appeared cracked. As I got closer, I noticed the entire back window was shattered. Pieces of glass were on the ground, meaning this occurred here, at the store. I would have noticed this earlier when leaving work because I approach my vehicle from the rear and the window was fine. Even looking through the rear window while driving it was clear. I went back into the store I was at and asked the store management to review the cameras to see if a person did this. I contacted the police. Management of the store stated no one approached my vehicle. They did see “a weird occurrence of the glass just shatter, no one was near the vehicle”. The police showed up, reviewed video and said there was nothing they could do because no crime was committed. I contacted my insurance to have it repaired. I had to drive the vehicle home and then to Safelite to have it repaired, all while my rear view vision was obstructed by having shattered glass. The way the glass shattered, pieces could have struck a person walking by. If I were in the vehicle or had people in the backseat, they would have been struck with glass. Glass was scattered all throughout the back of the vehicle. I believe the tint I had on the window kept it from completely falling into the trunk. If this would have happened while being driven, it could have caused an accident. Safelite replaced the window, but was unable to remove the glass that had fallen into the tailgate. I now hear glass moving around when I drive and also when I lift and lower my tailgate. This is going to depreciate the vehicle value and also prevent me from selling the vehicle. I have also noticed while doing research, many other owners of RDX are having the same issue, yet no Recall. Acura has not considered this to be a problem.

2019 Acura RDX Advance - Upon entering driver side and closing driver door, rear hatch glass shattered. Vehicle was stationary in my closed garage in Upstate NY after being parked overnight and was then remote started to warm up. Approx. overnight temps were in the teens. There was no evidence of any prior damage to the glass. Damage to the window is more in the lower center above the rear wiper mount.

Rear windshield shattered as driver shut the driver door after entering the car. There was no sign of anything hitting the glass. There was an Acura TSB for this exact problem but my dealer refuse to acknowledge.

The contact owns a 2019 Acura RDX. The contact stated that after she exited the vehicle, her husband closed the front passenger’s side door, and she heard a crack. The contact stated that the rear window had shattered. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the glass could be ordered; however, the vehicle was not repaired.

On November 26, 2022 RDX rear glass shattered while parked. This was reported to ACURA to find out if this is a known defect. Acura replied that they don’t have a recall on this problem. Coincidentally, few days after glass was replaced (insurance) the remote start failed due to “open trunk, doors or hood”. Acura dealer replace defective trunk switch. On a few other occasion the infotainment screen will go blank and then turned ON and stay ON while vehicle is off. Battery died several times while this happened. Last occasion was Jan 15, 2023. Again, Acura was called and didn’t have a recall/repair solution. Battery was disconnected and screen resumed operation!

Rear windshield shattered. No explanation. I had no tree branches near or on by my car. Car was parked in my driveway. I called Acura corporate and at this time no recall.

Told by dealer that the passenger seat frame assembly has a defect but they will not repair it unless I pay approx $1500

The rear (trunk) window of my 2019 Acura SUV shattered upon entrance into the vehicle after I closed my driver side door. The vehicle was parked at my place of employment and when I approached the vehicle, the vehicle looked fine, and window was intact. In addition, there prior to the incident, there is no visible crack on the window or indication of attempted theft. There were no lights warning issues. The vehicle has always been serviced by the dealership and never was I informed of any issues with the rear window. This is a safety issue as the window could have shattered while I was driving the vehicle and the sudden shattered cause have harm passengers in the back seat. I was fortunate that I was not driving which may have caused an accident not knowing what could have occurred on the road especially on a freeway.

On 9/22/22 travelling on I-290 near Boylston, MA I was passing a large tractor trailer in the far left lane going up a hill. It was and had been raining very hard for at least the previous hour. When I stepped on the accelerator to increase speed, the car suddenly decelerated to about 20 mph and the check engine light began flashing. I was able cross all three lanes in very heavy traffic to the shoulder. I then slowly made my way off the interstate to a gas station right beyond the exit. My passengers and I were very concerned about the suddenness and the abrupt reduction in speed on an extremely busy roadway. A call to the nearest Acura dealer service department confirmed he had seen nearly the same symptoms the prior week under similar road conditions and the same model car as mine. He found no codes on the other car. I also notified Acura customer service who confirmed the existence of a Service Bulletin on precisely this issue (flashing light with loss of power).

The contact owns a 2019 Acura RDX. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, he closed the front driver’s side door and the rear window glass exploded. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer suggested that the vehicle be taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

On July 24, 2022, while driving from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois back to our home in Lisle, IL, in a heavy rainstorm, our RDX suddenly started flashing the engine light and lost power on Interstate 57. We were fortunate to be able to maneuver it to the side of the road, and off the nearby ramp at Bradley, IL. We ‘googled’ the circumstances on our iphone, to learn that this is considered a serious, potentially life-threatening situation, and that Acura recommended immediate Service Bulletin 20-053, dated May 25, 2021, states the symptom as “The MIL is flashing with loss of power.” It indicates “Corrective Action” for the RDX as “Update the PGM-FI and replace the intercooler, the intercooler outlet pipe assembly and the intercooler outlet hose.” Affected vehicles include “ALL” 2019-2020 RDX models.” Despite the Service Bulletin that was issued, many RDX owners, noted the same response from their local Acura dealer. They note that the dealers “played dumb,” claim they could not locate a Service Code, nor “replicate the conditions and response” in the shop…. precisely my experience! In fact, the Service Receipt, indicates the car was driven less than one mile, hardly sufficient to replicate conditions. Acura Client Relations has refused to assist. I contacted the CEO Jon Ikeda but his office has not responded. I fear driving the car in wet conditions.

Brake hold disengages and the car starts to move forward often. The manual states it should stay engaged for 10 minutes. Car pulls away at stop lights and towards pedestrians and bikers while brake hold is engaged. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-rdx-problems-fixes-458/brake-hold-issue-977762/
