2019 Acura RDX Complaint Log

GOT IN DRIVER SEAT CLOSED THE DOOR AND THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED NO PRIOR DAMAGE TO WINDOW. IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY

TRAVELING 70 MPH DOWN INTERSTATE IN LIGHT RAIN WENT TOO ACCELERATE TO PASS A SEMI AND THE CAR NOT WOULD NOT RESPOND IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO GO FROM 70 TO 40 . VERY LUCKY WE WERE NOT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, THE LEFT SHOULDER WAS CLOSED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. TURNED ON HAZARD FLASHERS AND MANEUVERED TO AN EXIT AND PULLED OVER. WE LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED. SEEMS FINE NOW BUT READING ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON AND DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. IT SEEMS THAT A HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS MENTION RAIN IN THEIR EXPERIENCES. ACURA NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED (MAY HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED).

I WAS DRIVING DOWN AN EXPRESSWAY AND HAD STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. AS THE SIGNAL TURNED GREEN, I ACCELERATED AND AS SOON AS THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE INTERSECTION, IT WENT INTO THE SO CALLED 'LIMP MODE' WITH ALL POWER GONE. THE CAR STARTED TO FLASH ALL LIGHTS LIKE CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE SYSTEM, ACC SYSTEM ETC. AND I HAD TO STOP ON THE SHOULDER. CALLED EMERGENCY SERVICES AND GOT THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BY OTHER CARS.

THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS HAVE WORN AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN MARCH OF 2019.

ISSUE WITH BREAK HOLD FEATURE. WHEN BRAKE HOLD BUTTON IS ON CAR WILL KEEP THE BRAKE ON EVEN WHEN DRIVER RELEASES THE PETAL. IN ADDITION THE VEHICLE IS DEFAULTED SO THE ENGINE AUTOMATICALLY WILL SHUT OFF WHEN BRAKE PETAL IS PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. BUT OFTEN WHEN THE HVAC SYSTEM NEEDS TO RUN IT WILL START THE ENGINE WHILE STOPPED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE AUTO BRAKE RELEASES AND CAR STARTS MOVING FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, BRAKE HOLD IS ON, ENGINE AUTO OFF IS ON AND SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ENGINE IS OFF BUT CAR IS TURNED ON. AC STARTS WHICH MAKES ENGINE START, ENGINE STARTING CAUSES BRAKE TO RELEASE. THE VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD. IT COULD CRASH INTO ANOTHER CAR OR RUN SOMEONE OVER. IT HAPPENS A LOT. DO I NEED TO REPORT EACH TIME IT HAPPENS?

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65 MPH. IT WAS RAINING. I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY IN ORDER TO AVOID A CAR THAT WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO MY LANE. WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR CUT OFF. THIS CAUSED ME TO LOOSE SPEED AND ALMOST HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO GET IT BACK INTO DRIVE.

CAR STALLS WHILE ACCELERATING. MUST TURN OFF AND RESTART TO DRIVE AGAIN. WHILE ENTERING FREEWAY WITH SIGNAL, CAR JERKS HARD TO CORRECT LANE TRANSITION. CAR BREAKS HARD WITH LARGE DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 VEHICLES.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. NOTHING HIT IT - THE SOUND WAS LIKE A BALLOON POPPING BUT MUCH LOUDER. THANKFULLY I HAD THE SUN VISOR CLOSED OR ELSE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN GLASS EVERYWHERE INSIDE THE CAR. I HAVE A GAPING HOLE IN THE SUNROOF. I CONTACTED ACURA AS I SAW THIS SAME PROBLEM REPORTED BY OTHER DRIVERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HOWEVER THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO GO THROUGH INSURANCE.

WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH 50MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPS DEVELOPING POWER AND BEGINS TO COAST DOWN TO A STOP, REGARDLESS OF GAS PEDAL INPUT. THE VEHICLES 'MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP', 'ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) SYSTEM INDICATOR', 'VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) SYSTEM INDICATOR', 'ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION (RDM) INDICATOR', 'COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) INDICATOR', AND 'BRAKE SYSTEM' LIGHT ILLIMINATE SIMULTANEEOUSLY. THE CENTER DISPLAY ROTATES THROUGH THESE PROBLEMS , ADVISES TO AVOID HEAVY ACCELERATION AND HIGH SPEED, AND ADVISES TO SEE THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPPENED WHILE MERGING INTO A LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED ME. THIS CAR MUST BE RECALLED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ON ALL REQUIRED INSPECTIONS, IS RUN ON 91OCT GAS, AND WAS JUST IN A CERTIFIED ACURA DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A MONTH AGO FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE.

I HAD THE CRUISE AND LKAS ON AND SET TO 75. I MANUALLY CANCELLED CRUISE AND BEGAN TO INCREASE SPEED TO GET INTO ANOTHER LANE. WHILE PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, MY RDX COASTED AND DECELERATED INSTEAD OF GAINING SPEED. I MADE AN EMERGENCY STOP (AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE) AND PUT THE RDX IN PARK. SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE AND I COULD HEAR MY RPMS GOING UP BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IT BY LOOKING AT THE GAUGE. KEEP IN MIND THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS BLINKING, SOLID, BLINKING, AND THEN STOPS ALTOGETHER (NEVER HAVE SAW THIS ORANGE LIGHT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED). I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, AND DROVE AWAY LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED AND THE LIGHT WAS GONE.

DRIVING ON A WET DAY, LOOKING TO ACCELERATE OUT OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION MERGE AS TRAFFIC OPENED UP, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO WHAT I NOW UNDERSTAND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM (BUT NO RECALL) CALLED "LIMP MODE." I FELT A BUMP, ALMOST LIKE A GEAR SHIFT. THE CAR COULD NOT GET OVER 40 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY. PARK AND RESTART. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO HAVE VANISHED, AS I HAVE TESTED IT WITH INCREASINGLY "AGGRESSIVE" ACCELERATIONS UNTIL I FELT COMFORTABLE DRIVING AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS NONETHELESS VERY CONCERNING. THIS CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENS AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME. I HAVE ONLY EVER USED 93 GAS. I'VE HAD THE CAR LESS THAN 3K MILES. IT IS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WITH 23K TOTAL. THE ACCELERATION I TRIED WAS INDEED A HARD ONE, BUT THAT IS WHAT THIS CAR IS FOR.

THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE, THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS ASSIGNED NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11277657. SIMILAR TO THE INCIDENT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE, LOST ACCELERATION, STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE CAR INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND PULL OFF INTO THE SHOULDER. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN WE TURNED IT BACK ON THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. AS WITH THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT, THIS OCCURRED IN THE RAIN. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND, AS WITH THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT, WE WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO US. WE WERE TOLD THAT IF THE ISSUE OCCURS AGAIN TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AS STATED IN MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS TIME MY TWO CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR ACURA TO FIND AN ACCEPTABLE RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM? HOW MANY OF THESE MALFUNCTIONING VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD???

ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHEN DRIVING IN WET WEATHER AT 50-60 MILES AN HOUR ON A 2 LANE ROAD, I ACCELERATED TO PASS A VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE PASSING MANEUVER SAFELY DUE TO LOSS OF ACCELERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED CONTINUALLY AS THE VEHICLE COASTED TO AN EVENTUAL STOP. PULLED OFF ROAD, TURNED VEHICLE OFF, AND THEN RESTARTED IT AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER BLINKING, VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND COULD EASILY RESULT IN A COLLISION.

WE HAVE HAD THE RDX FOR 18 MONTHS AND HAVE PUT 5,000 MILES ON HER. DURING THIS TIME THE ENGINE HAS STALLED ON US PERHAPS 6 TO AS 8 TIMES; THE STALLS HAVE BEEN AND WORRISOME, COUPLE SECONDS. THE STALLS HAVE OCCURRED MERGING ON THE FREEWAY, AT INTERSECTIONS WHILE MAKING A LEFT OR JUST PUSHING DOWN THE PEDAL WHEN YOUR CRUISING. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE STALL HAPPENS. IT IS DANGEROUS.

WINDSHIELD CHIPS, SCRATCHES, CRACKS VERY EASILY. ONCE A CHIP OCCURS, WINDSHIELD CRACK(S) EXPAND SIGNIFICANTLY IN JUST HOURS/DAYS. THIS CAUSES OBVIOUS DRIVER INTERFERENCE OF VISIBILITY. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 4 WINDSHIELDS PROFESSIONALLY IN 40K MILES AT 18 MONTHS FROM PURCHASE.

DRIVING AT HWY SPEED, RAINING AND ACCELERATED PAST SLOW SEMI TRUCKS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WENT IN TO LIMP MODE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT

1. TWICE WHILE DRIVING, WARNING LIGHTS FLASH "APPROACHING OBJECT" WHEN THERE IS NOTHING AROUND THE VEHICLE, SPEED ABOUT 20MPH, EMPTY, RURAL ROAD, NO BAD WEATHER, 8AM IN THE MORNING. 2. WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENTIRE CAR SHUDDERED AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. RE-TRIED AND THE CAR STARTED. CAR WAS STATIONARY IN A GARAGE. 3. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH, HWY 29 NORTH IN DANVILLE, VA, THE ENTIRE CAR SHUDDERED FOR 2-3 SECONDS LOSING POWER. THE VEHICLE DIDN'T SHUTOFF AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME SAFE DRIVING. NO INCLEMENT WEATHER AT THE TIME. 4. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT IN VIRGINIA, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD (ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN) WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND I HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO RESUME SAFE OPERATION AFTERWARDS. NO INCLEMENT WEATHER. NORMAL BUSY TRAFFIC IN NORTHERN VA. REFER TO REPAIR ORDER # 6138673, 7/31/2020, CHEVY CHASE ACURA, BETHESDA, MD FOR ADDITIONAL INFO.

MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING WEST ON INTERSTATE 64 AROUND MILE MARKER 240

6 HOURS INTO A CROSS COUNTRY DRIVE, MY WIFE WENT TO PASS A LINE OF SLOWER MOVING CARS IN A DESIGNATED PASSING AREA ON US45 IN MS. AS SHE PUSH DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AT 55 MPH, THE CAR DROPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR AS IT ACCELERATED TO 60 MPH, THEN BUCKED AND WHEN INTO LIMP HOME MODE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, WITH SPEED DROPPING RAPIDLY TOWARDS 20 MPH. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET SAFELY TOWARDS THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE SHE SWITCHED OFF THE ENGINE. A MINUTE LATER, SHE RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OUT, AND THE CAR RESPONDED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED FOR THE REMAINING 2 HOUR.DRIVE HOME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL 4 CODES FROM THE OBDII SYSTEM: P0300, P0301, P0304, AND C1555. THE FIRST THREE ARE FOR MISFIRE OF THE IGNITION SYSTEM, WHILE THE LAST IS FOR AN INCOMPATIBLE SCAN TOOL. THE CAR HAD HALF A TANK OF 93 OCTANE GAS, TEMP WAS AROUND 90 WITH HIGH HUMIDITY. THE CAR HAS 25000 MILES. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS MISHAP IF THERE HAD BEEN SOMEONE BEHIND HER ATTEMPTING TO PASS ALSO. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER 2019 ACURA RDX'S ON THIS REPORTING SITE, AS WELL AS ON AN ACURA RDX FORUM. SOMEONE AT THE NHTSA NEEDS TO GET ACURA TO GET ON THE BALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

WHILE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON I-64 AT 65 MILES PER HOUR IN THE LEFT LANE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND TURNED OFF. WE HAD NO ACCELERATION NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER. WE COULDN'T GET SAFELY TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND WERE FORCED TO PULL TO THE LEFT NEXT TO THE JERSEY WALL AND IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. 1/3RD OF OUR VEHICLE WAS STILL IN THE LEFT LANE SINCE THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ROOM ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE CALLED THE STATE POLICE AND THEY GOT TO THE SCENE APPROX 15 MINUTES LATER. THE ACURA LINK SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK EITHER. WE COULD HEAR THE ACURA LINK REP BUT THEY COULDN'T HEAR US. A TOW TRUCK WAS DISPATCHED AND WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE CLOSEST ACURA DEALER. AT THE DEALER THEY INFORMED US THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO A FUEL PUMP RECALL. WE WERE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND TRIED TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED 3 WEEKS PRIOR. OUR COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS FUEL PUMP DEFECT PUT US IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WE ARE LUCKY THAT THERE WEREN'T MULTIPLE FATALITIES FROM BEING REAR-ENDED WHILE SHUT DOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE. ACURA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS DEFECT WITH ALL SUBJECT VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON, STEERING BECAME HARD ETC. GOT IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BARELY. CAR WOULDN'T RESTART, GO INTO NEUTRAL OR ANYTHING. APPARENTLY THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE RADAR WAS FAULT AND KILLED THE CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO DISABLE THE RADAR. IF THE RADAR IS FAULTY IT WILL KILL ALL PROPULSION AND ALSO THROW MULTIPLE ERRORS IN THE CAR CREATING A HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES ENGINE STOPPED WHILE GOING UP A VERY BUSY BRIDGE ON I-10 - STARTED SHAKING AND FLASHING NO BRAKES NO STEERING CONTACT DEALER. COASTED TO CONSTRUCTION AREA ON TOP OF BRIDGE AS TO NOT BE HIT BY 18 WHEELERS. THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 1200 MILES ... THAT'S RIDICULOUS

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT APPROPRIATELY WHEN SLOWING OR TRAVELING A LOW SPEED AND THE NEED FOR FAST ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. THERE IS ABOUT A 3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE ANY THROTTLE RESPONSE OR ACCELERATION. CAR IS STUCK IN 5 OR 6 GEAR AND GOING 10-15 MILES PER HOUR AND NO ACCELERATION DESPITE GAS PEDDLE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. HIGHLY DANGEROUS DELAY IN ACCELERATION RESPONSE LIKE WHEN CROSS TRAFFIC. THIS WILL GET PEOPLE KILLED. DEALER SAYS IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. BUT IT A VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW THEN. I CAN SLOW FROM 40 MPH TO 10 MPH AND THEN APPLY FULL ACCELERATION AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE FOR 3 SECOND. VERY REPEATABLE. NO ACCELERATION DESPITE GAS PEDDLE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. *TR

HAVE HAD A SECOND OCCURRENCE OF A BRAKE PROBLEM WHICH ACURA HAS ACKNOWLEDGE BUT WILL NOT PROVIDE A FIX DATE. ONLY TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT ENGINEERS AY IT IS NOT A DANGER. BUT WON'T PUT IT IN WRITING SO DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT UNSAFE. I NEED TO ALERT GOV SAFETY DEPT. IN EVENT IS UNSAFE & SOMEONE IS HURT. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION ON MAY 28, 2020. I HAVE CALLED THREE TIMES SINCE JUNE 1, 2020 AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR THE RECALL.

Acura failed to remedy fuel pump safety recall. Reference Recalls: May 28 2020 20V314000 March 25 2021 21V215000 December 18 2023 23V858000

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE PASSING ON HIGHWAY FOLLOWED BY NUMEROUS SYSTEM ERROR LIGHTS *BF*JB

MY 2019 ACURA RDX EXPERIENCED A TOTAL, UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A TRUCK ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY. ALL PROPULSIVE POWER SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED JUST AS I EXPECTED THE TURBOCHARGER TO KICK IN FOR SAFE PASSING. I FIRMLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR A COUPLE TIMES WITH ZERO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A SENSE OF THE ENGINE MISFIRING. MY BELIEF IS THAT THIS PROPULSION FAILURE IS RELATED TO A TURBOCHARGER ACTIVATION ISSUE. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE MY DEALER HAS FOUND NO ONGOING ENGINE PROBLEM IN MY CAR, THE DEALERSHIP HAS ORDERED TURBOCHARGER RELATED PARTS AND INTENDS TO INSTALL THEM NEXT WEEK. ALSO, WHILE STRANDED, WE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND REFERENCES TO SEEMINGLY SIMILAR ACURA FAILURES THAT OCCURRED IN WET AND RAINY CONDITIONS. WE WERE DRIVING IN COOL AND RAINY CONDITIONS AT THE TIME OF THIS FAILURE. FORTUNATELY, WE AVOIDED A CRASH AND COASTED TO A STOP ON THE LEFT SHOULDER. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND THE CAR PUT ITSELF INTO CREEP MODE, WHICH ALLOWED MOVEMENT TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. A VERY DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT WAS LUCKILY AVERTED. THE VEHICLE WAS HAULED 130 MILES TO MY LOCAL ACURA DEALERSHIP WHICH REPORTED AN ENGINE MISFIRE INDICATION FROM THE CAR'S COMPUTER BUT NO FURTHER INDICATION OF PRIOR OR SUBSEQUENT ISSUES.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH, ON A CITY STREET, AND I FELT THE CAR VEERING TO THE RIGHT. THE NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS SIDE SWIPING A PARKED CAR AND REALIZED THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING. WHEN I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AND OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC, SEVERAL WITNESSES CAME OVER TO MAKE SURE I WAS OKAY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS, HOWEVER, WE ALL SAW THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS PERPENDICULAR TO THE WHEEL WELL AND THE TIE ROD WAS BROKEN IN TWO. WITNESSES, POLICE OFFICERS WHO RESPONDED TO THE SCENE, AND THE AAA TOW TRUCK DRIVER WERE SHOCKED TO SEE THE DEFECT IN THE TIE ROD, AND ALL COMMENTED THAT HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE, OR CAUSED A FATAL CRASH AND HARM TO OTHERS. THANKFULLY THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, BUT THE FACT THAT THE TIE ROD BROKE IN A RELATIVELY NEW CAR MAKES ME EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT EVER DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN, EVEN IF IT IS SOMEHOW 'REPAIRED'.

THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE IS LOOSE AND ROCKS UP TO AN INCH OR MORE. WE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS STANDARD ON THE 2019 ACCURA RDX. SEATS THIS LOOSE DO NOT SEEM SAFE TO ME. WE HAVE AN INFANT IN A CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR. HER CAR SEAT IS SUPPOSED TO MOVE LESS THAN ONE INCH WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED. WITH THE BACK SEAT AS LOOSE AS IT IS, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO INSURE HER SAFETY IN THIS CAR. THE SEAT IS LOOSE ALL THE TIME- REGARDLESS OF WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION- AS LONG AS SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IS SUPPLYING ENOUGH FORCE. WE HAVE A VIDEO OF THE SEAT MOVEMENT, BUT THERE IS NO WHERE TO ADEQUATELY ATTACH IT TO THIS REPORT.

WHEN USING AUTO BRAKE HOLD WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND IF ENGINE AUTO START STOP IS ENGAGED, IF THE AUTO START STOP TURNS THE ENGINE BACK ON THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE AUTO BRAKE HOLD RELEASES BY ITSELF AND CAR STARTS MOVING FORWARD. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN CASE THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN IN THE CROSS WALK OR IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY COULD HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. I DO NOT SEE ACURA HAVING ANY RECALL TO FIX THIS. A FORUM LINK OF OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE: HTTPS://ACURAZINE.COM/FORUMS/3G-RDX-PROBLEMS-FIXES-458/BRAKE-HOLD-ISSUE-977762/

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 ACURA RDX I ATTEMPTED TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE. DURING ACCELERATION MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE. THIS PREVENTED ME FROM PASSING AND FORCED ME TO FALL BACK IN BEHIND THE VEHICLE I WAS PASSING. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS IF ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING. AFTER FALLING BACK IN BEHIND THE VEHICLE I PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND UPON TURNING IT BACK ON; IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I PAID NEARLY $50,000. TO HAVE A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS ISSUE IT BASICALLY SITS IN THE GARAGE. CONTACTING ACURA DEALERS / SERVICE DEPARTMENTS THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS BUT ARE WAITING FOR THE COMPANY ACURA TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND MY LIFE AND FAMILY'S LIFE WERE PUT INTO JEOPARDY. ACURA DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO PUT THEIR CUSTOMERS LIVES IN JEOPARDY. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR ALLOW THEIR CUSTOMERS TO RETURN THIS DEFECTED VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY.

2019 ACURA RDX ADVANCE SH-AWD ODOMETER 12,900 TUESDAY 01/14/2020 14:20; LKAS ON, COMFORT MODE, ENGINE IDLE STOP/START CANCELLED WITH THE BUTTON, 60 DEG F. ON A 300+ MILE ROAD TRIP, THE LATTER HALF UNDER HEAVY RAIN. NEARING MY HOME, THE RAIN WAS ALMOST STOPPED, AND AS I ACCELERATEDUP A LONG STEEP GRADE, THE RDX FELT LIKE IT RAN OUT OF GAS. IT JUST SPUTTERED ALONG UP THE HILL UNTIL I CAME TO A DRIVEWAY AND TURNED IN. I NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED A FEWMINUTES, THEN IT RESTARTED AND HAS BEEN OK SINCE THEN. I DID NOTICE THE NEXT DAY THAT THE IDLE START/STOP FUNCTION IS "UNAVAILABLE" AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO RUN WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I DO QUITE A BIT OF 2 LANE TRAVEL, AND OFTEN MUST PASS SLOWER TRAFFICUNDER FULL POWER. IF THIS SITUATION OCCURS DURING A PASSING MANEUVER WITH SHORT SITE DISTANCE, IT WOULD BE DISASTROUS. BASED ON THIS FEAR, MY DRIVING ABILITY IS NOW SEVERELY LIMITED UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS DIAGNOSED AND RESOLVED.

MY BRAND NEW 2019 ACURA RDX THAT HAD 9200 MILES ON IT SHUT DOWN ON ME ON THE FREEWAY. IT WAS RAINING AND I PULLED OUT TO PASS, GOING ABOUT 75 MPH, AND IT WENT INTO WHAT I NOW KNOW IS LIMP MODE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A DIFFERENT SOUND THAN NORMAL. I HAD SOMEONE TAILGATING ME, SO I AM LUCKY IT DIDNT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. GOT PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO COME IN. THEY SPECULATE RAINDROPS GOT ON THE ENGINE FILTER (FORGET THE NAME) AND THE CAR THOUGHT IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND SHUT DOWN. I HADNT TURNED THE CAR OFF BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID ID BE STRANDED, SO I DONT KNOW IF IT WOULD HAVE RESET ITSELF. STILL, I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR DEPENDABILITY AND IVE LOST ALL TRUST. I HAD HAD THREE ACURA CARS BEFORE THIS. IVE BEEN TOLD THERES NO FIX AND ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON IT BUT THEY COULDNT RECREATE THE SITUATION AND ITS WORKING OKAY NOW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON A TWO-LANE PASSING AND COULDNT GET BACK IN WHEN IT SHUT DOWN BEFORE AN ONCOMING CAR! SO I CANT DRIVE IT IN THE RAIN OR PASS NOW? THE DEALERSHIP HAD ONE OTHER RDX DO THE SAME THING AND IM READING SEVERAL ONLINE. I FEEL LIKE ITS RUSSIAN ROULETTE. DO I JUST HAVE A LEMON OR IS IT A DESIGN FLAW? IM SCARED! THE CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT. THEY DON'T HONESTLY KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRANDED OR MISSING A FLIGHT OR BEING INJURED OR KILLED IS NOT OFF THE TABLE! THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT NOT MAKING IT PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. IT'S A BRAND NEW DESIGN SO THERE MUST BE A FLAW.

DRIVING VEHICLE EST 40MPH, STRAIGHT ROAD CITY RIGHT LANE. CAR AHEAD OF ME (EST 2 + CAR LENGTH) TURNED RIGHT,AND WAS NO LONGER ON THE ROAD I WAS DRIVING, MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. I DID NOT PRESS BRAKES OR CHANGE DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. THERE WAS NO INPUT FROM ME TO CHANGE VEHICLE SPEED. "SPACE RESERVED" BARS USE RADAR TO KEEP DESIGNATED SPACE. THERE WERE NO BARS FOR A SAFETY MARGIN. NO LIGHTS OR INDICATORS DISPLAY ON DASHBOARD FOR REASON OF DECELERATION. NORMALLY IF I AM CLOSE TO A PERSON WHO IS TURNING OFF THE ROAD, SENSORS MAY DETECT THAN AND FLASH BRAKE ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS SAME BRAKING WHEN A PERSON TURNED HAS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE CITY ROAD WESTBOUND .THAT VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING ME, A 4 LANE WIDE STREET. I WAS ON THE LEFT LANE OF MY DIVIDE, THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS IN THE RIGHT LINE OF THEIR DIVIDE EASTBOUND. THAT OPPOSITE VEHICLE WAS TURNING RIGHT, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN ALTHOUGH THE OTHER CAR WAS TWICE AS FAR AWAY COMPARED TO THE RIGHT-TURN COMPLAINT ABOVE. NO INPUT FROM ME, NO DASHBOARD WARNINGS, TOO FAR AWAY TO BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. ANOTHER OCCURRENCE: WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT, EST 20MPH CITY ROAD.. CAME TOWARDS A SMALL DIP IN THE ROAD, EST 3' WIDE, SHALLOW. NO VEHICLES ON ROAD. CAR SLOWED DOWN, NO INDICATIONS. I STEPPED ON THE GAS, NO RESPONSE. PRESSED DRIVE BUTTON, NO RESPONSE. AFTER GETTING OVER THE DIP, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED, DROVE CORRECTLY AFTER THAT. USED SAME ROAD TO COME BACK, CAR HANDLED DIP IN ROAD APPROPRIATELY. SUMMERTIME DRIVE. SEPARATE ISSUE: BRAKES ARE SQUEALING WHEN I DRIVE CAR AT LOW SPEEDS. CITY ROADS, VARIED SPEED LIMITS; 25MPH TO 40MPH. REVERSING OUT OF PARKING, PRESS BRAKES, SQUEAL. DRIVE TO STOP SIGN, SQUEAL. DRIVE FROM THAT STOP SIGN IN STRAIGHT LINE, CITY ROAD, COME TO STOP SIGN, DOES NOT SQUEAL. ENVIRONMENTS ARE DIFFERENT; USING VEHICLE IN -15F TEMP UP TO 85, 90F. *TR

Transmission intermittently gets stuck in a gear while driving and will not shift until car is powered off and on again. Brake system, LKA, power steering, vehicle stability/traction control, hill assist, cruise control, collision mitigation, and road departure mitigation intermittently stop working and error. Infotainment and audio intermittently error or get stuck on after powering off vehicle. Trunk randomly opens when no one is in range of the vehicle. Horn randomly sounds for approximately 30 seconds on hot days after vehicle is stopped. Engine cylinder heads, transmission, and horns have been replaced without resolution. MOST bus system has been replaced twice without resolution. All issues have been recorded on video and documented with the local Acura dealer and Acura Client Relations, but neither has been willing to help reach a resolution.

WE TURNED ONTO THE ON-RAMP OF I40 WEST IN ARKANSAS AT EXIT 58 HEADING WEST. I ACCELERATED TO GET UP TO SPEED TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I REACHED 70MPH THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATION AND VERY RAPIDLY SLOWED TO 20MPH IN FRONT OF MULTIPLE CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN MISSED BY THE TRAFFIC BEHIND US AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 10-20MPH. WE LIMPED TO THE NEXT EXIT AND FOUND A PARKING LOT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY AGAIN. MY ENTIRE FAMILY COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED! DURING THE INCIDENT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON UNTIL TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.

I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY IN RURAL MISSISSIPPI. ONCE ON A STRAIGHTAWAY AND WITH PLENTY OF SPACE TO PASS, I ATTEMPTED TO DO SO. AS SOON AS I ACCELERATED, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, I LOST ALL POWER, ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON, AND I WAS TRAPPED IN THE LEFT LANE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC RACING AT ME. WITH LESS THAN TWO SECONDS TO SPARE AND WITH THE HELP OF DOWNHILL MOTION, I WAS ABLE TO SQUEEZE AHEAD OF THE VEHICLE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS AND INTO THE RIGHT LANE JUST AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHIZZED BY. I SAT ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND LITERALLY SHOOK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO ACURA OF JACKSON. WHILE SITTING AT THEIR DEALERSHIP, I FOUND ALL THESE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. LIKE ALL THE OTHERS, NO CODES SHOWED UP AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS AND COULD NOT GET IT TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION. I DROVE IT BACK TO TEXAS AND AM JUST WAITING FOR THE ISSUE TO HAPPEN AGAIN...PRAYING THAT IF AND WHEN IT DOES, IT WILL NOT BE A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION THIS TIME. WHY IS THIS CONTINUING TO BE REPORTED AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE? OTHERS REPORTED THIS HAPPENING IN HEAVY RAIN. I WAS TRAVELING AT 70MPH ON A WET ROAD AT THE TIME. IT WAS CLOUDY, BUT IT WAS NOT RAINING AT THE TIME. THE CAR WAS IN COMFORT MODE AT THE TIME.

WHEN A LIGHT SNOWFALLS AND COVERS THE A BADGE ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE A WARNING LIGHT SHOWS UP SAYING RADAR IN AN ORANGE BOX AND SAYS SOME DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEMS CANNOT OPERATE RADAR OBSTRUCTED. IN SNOW YOU NEED ALL SYSTEMS WORKING. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS.

I REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH MY 2019 ACURA RDX, WHERE IF: ENGINE AUTO STOP IS ENABLED, AND BRAKE HOLD IS ENABLED. ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD WHILE THE BRAKE HOLD IS ENABLED THIS PROPELLED ME TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION TODAY, WITH A 2020 LOANER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN

ON OCTOBER 30, 2019, I WAS PASSING A DUMP TRUCK ON RT. 539 IN NEW JERSEY, I HAD JUST ACCELERATED TO COMPLETE THE PASS. AS I WAS COMPLETING THE PASS, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING, I'VE BEEN TOLD THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE CAR DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I WAS QUICKLY ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID BEING HIT BY THE TRUCK I JUST PASSED. ONCE IN THE SHOULDER, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WAS NO LONGER FLASHING AND THE CAR RESUMED NORMAL OPERATIONS. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL ACURA DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FROM OCTOBER 30 UNTIL NOVEMBER 1, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO STORED CODES ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN FOR 60 MILES, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME, I WAS INFORMED IF THE ISSUE OCCURS AGAIN TO BRING IT BACK. THIS VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 10,500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, I NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE WAS LEASED IN MARCH 2019. I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT COMES STANDARD WITH MY VEHICLE. THE SCREEN IS GOING BLACK AND NOT RESPONDING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A BRIDGE. THIS IS CAUSING MY BLUETOOTH, BLINDSPOT ASSIST, NAVIGATION, AND ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING. IT WAS AT ONE POINT I WAS TOLD TO PLACE MY KEY NEAR THE START BUTTON IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. I WAS INFORMED BY DANIEL FLORES OF ACURA OF WAPPINGER FALLS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL BE PLACED IN A SITUATION WHERE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF OR A PEDESTRIAN. MY VEHICLE IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND I HAVE I INVESTED MORE THAN $10000 IN IT. THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET OUT OF IT IS TO SPEND AN ADDITIONAL $133.00 A MONTH (WHICH I DO NOT HAVE) AND CHANGE THE VEHICLE OUT TODAY!!!. I AM LOOKING FOR HELP. MY HUSBAND RECENTLY HAD A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE CATCH ON FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY JUST UNDER MY BEDROOM WINDOW. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS MAY OCCUR AGAIN.

LKAS SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS - WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT THEN SHIFT TO LEFT DRAMATICALLY AND THEN OVERSHOOT MARKERS. WILL TAKE YOU OFF THE ROAD, CAR WILL NOT STAY IN THE CORRECT LANE. DOES NOT RECOGNIZE DOUBLE YELLOW LINES AND CUTS RIGHT ACROSS THEM, SOMETIMES UNEXPECTEDLY. PAYS NO ATTENTION TO THEM DRIVING ON A 8 LANE HIGHWAY, IN THE FAST LANE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. I AM PASSING A CAR/TRUCK GOING SLOWER IN THE NEXT LANE TO MY RIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR JUST HITS THE BRAKES AND SOUNDS AN ALARM. VERY DANGEROUS, CAN BE HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO SUDDEN UNEXPECTED BRAKING. MY CAR WAS NOT CLOSE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE ONLY APPROACHING IT. I'VE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN WHEN I'M MOVING TO AN EXIT LANE WITH THE BLINKER ON. WHEN APPROACHING AN ENTRANCE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR SEES THE GUARD RAIL AS A HAZARD AND AGAIN, BRAKES HARD WHILE FLASHING THE WARNING LIGHT. E CAR, I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE SERVICE GROUP BUT AS ALWAYS THE PROBLEMS OCCUR RANDOMLY I'VE ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN WITH A LONER, A 2020 MODEL. WHEN APPROACHING AN ENTRANCE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR SEES THE GUARD RAIL AS A HAZARD AND AGAIN, BRAKES HARD WHILE FLASHING THE WARNING LIGHT. STUPID! THE TURN SIGNAL IS IN USE. THESE ARE VEHICLE HAZARDS CAUSED BY THE SO CALLED, ENHANCED SAFETY FEATURES, BUT WHICH, IN FACT, CREATE A SITUATION THAT IS DANGEROUS. IF ANYONE ELSE DRIVES THE CAR, I HAVE TO SPEND TIME EDUCATING THEM OF THE 'PROBLEMS' THEY MAY ENCOUNTER DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE SERVICE GROUP BUT AS ALWAYS THE PROBLEMS OCCUR RANDOMLY AND NEVER WHEN THE CAR IS IN FOR SERVICE. I'VE ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN WITH A LONER, A 2020 MODEL.

ON WEDNESDAY, OCT 16, 2019, I WAS DRIVING THIS RDX FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS, AND WAS GOING SOUTH ON N CAROLINA RT #171 IN A STEADY RAIN ON A FLAT ROAD. I DROVE BEHIND A 18 WHEEL LOG TRUCK FOR 10-15 MINUTES AT 50-55MPH BEFORE CONFIRMING THERE WAS NO VEHICLES COMING THE OTHER WAY. WHEN IT WAS CLEAR FOR 1-2 MILES, I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS THE LOG TRUCK. THE RDX LEAPED FORWARD AT FIRST, BUT HALFWAY PAST THE LOG TRUCK THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SLOWED TO 35-40 MPH OR SO (MAYBE SLOWER, AS I AM GUESSING--- I WAS NOT LOOKING AT THE DASH). I WAS SCARED THAT I COULD NOT COMPLETE MY PASS OF THE TRUCK. FORTUNATELY, AFTER 5-10 SECONDS, THE TRUCK DRIVER NOTICED SOMETHING WAS AMISS, AND HE SLOWED DOWN TO LET ME PASS AT MY SLOWER SPEED. I PULLED OFF AND WAS GRATEFUL FOR TWO THINGS. FIRST THAT NO ONE WAS COMING THE OTHER WAY, AS A HEAD ON COLLISION COULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE. SECOND, THAT THE TRUCK SLOWED TO PERMIT ME TO PULL OFF ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THIS TOOK PLACE ABOUT 220PM. AFTER PULLING TO THE SHOULDER, AND LEAVING THE RDX RUNNING, I WAITED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND TRIED TO PULL FORWARD. THE LIMITED POWER CONDITION REMAINED. AND THE ORANGE ENGINE SYMBOL CONTINUED TO APPEAR ON THE DASH. I SUSPECT THE ORANGE SYMBOL APPEARED WHEN I LOST POWER, BUT I WASN'T LOOKING AT THE DASH. AFTER SEVERAL MORE MINUTES, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED FOR SEVERAL MORE MINUTES. WHEN THE CAR RESTARTED, THE SYMBOL WAS GONE, AND REGULAR POWER HAD RETURNED. I DROVE ABOUT 100 YARDS, AND THEN RE-ENTERED RT#171 WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE COMING BEHIND ME. THE RDX OPERATED FINE THEN AND I COMPLETED A 3.5 HOUR DRIVE TO MYRTLE BEACH. I DROVE NORMAL FROM THERE TO NAPLES FL OVER THE NEXT 5 DAYS WITH NO ISSUES. BUT, I DIDN'T TRY TO ACCELERATE BY DEPRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IN THE RAIN. THERE WAS A CLEAR SAFETY INCIDENT AT 220PM OCT 16TH. .

ON TV NEWS AFTER SEEING A COUPLE OF CARS EVEN A SMALL SUV OVERTURNED IN THE EXACT LOCATION I DAMAGED MY ACURA RDX. I DECIDED TO REPORT MY ACCIDENT. NOT SURE THE EXACT DATE BUT GIVE OR TAKE OCTOBER 15,2019. IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING OF CONSTRUCTION AT THE CORNER OF TREMONT AVE AND VAN NEST A ISLAND WAS CONSTRUCTED WITH WHAT WOULD BECOME A STAND UP TWO AND A HALF FOOT SQUARE BOX WHICH LOOKS LIKE THE BASE FOR A STREET LIGHT.I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT THE LIGHT.THIS STOOD IN A BLIND SPOT NO MARKINGS NO BARRICADES NOTHING NO CONES AND NO FLAGS . I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING UNTIL I FELT AND HEARD THE BOOM BANG. I THEN GOT OUT AND LOOKED AND REALLY SAW NOTHING DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD UP TRAFFIC IT WAS AROUND 6-7 PM. I LOVE MY VEHICLE.IT IS A LEASE BUT I TAKE SUCH GOOD CARE OF IT. I LOOKED AT IT AGAIN AND WAS BROKEN HEARTED THE IMPACT WAS FROM THE BOTTOM WHICH CAUSED BODY DAMAGE

ERRATIC DISPLAY OPERATION CAUSES DRIVER DISTRACTION PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO CAR OPERATION (TRANSMISSION). AS SHOWN IN ATTACHMENTS IT DISPLAYS SYSTEM ERROR. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SCREEN GOES DARK. TIRE PRESSURE DISPLAYS FALSE INFORMATION. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES; EACH TIME THE DEALER SAYS NOTHING WRONG OR THEY BELIEVE PROBLEM WILL BE FIX WITH THE RADIO UPDATE. THEY CONSTANTLY RESET THE VEHICLE AND WRITE ON THE REPORT, NO PROBLEMS FOUND. MY OPINION IS THAT THERE IS AN INCOMPATIBILITY WITH THE VEHICLE ELECTRONICS AND THE DISPLAY SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT ACURA IS USING TO PRESENT VEHICLE DATA TO THE DRIVER. IMG_0807 SHOWS THE WARNING OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE WHEN IN FACT ALL TIRES HAVE CORRECT PRESSURE. IMG_0802 SHOWS SYSTEM ERROR WHEN TRYING TO ACCESS A RADIO STATION. IMG_0801 SHOWS THE SYSTEM REQUIRES AN UPDATE BUT NO DEALER OR SERVICE GROUP HAS THE UPDATE. I'M UNABLE TO SHOW THE BLANK OR FLICKERING DISPLAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TELL IF THE VEHICLE IS IN COMFORT MODE OR SPORT OR SNOW

ON OCTOBER 6, 2019 I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON INTERSTATE 80 IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AT ABOUT 70 MPH. ACCELERATED IN THE LEFT LANE TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER.. PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AS MAXIMUM SPEED DROPPED TO 40, THEN 20, THEN ABOUT 10. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AN ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING EVALUATED.

WEN I TURN THE RADIO THE RADIO PLAY FOR 1 DAY AFTER ONE DAY I HAVE TO UNPLUG THE CAR BATTERY AND RESET THE RADIO BECAUSE THE RADIO DON'T WORK IT IS SAYING THAT THE RADIO IS NOT ABELOBLE SOW I HAVE TO DISCONET DE BATTERY EVERY OTHER DAY AND RESET THE RADIO FOR THE RADIO COULD WORK EVEN WEND ACURA SEND THE NEW UPDATE ON 9/18/2019 SOW THIS

VEHICLE LOST ALL ENGINE POWER WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS FROM APPROX 60 MPH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND POWER WAS STILL NOT PRESENT UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. HAS HAPPENED ON A FEW OTHER OCCASIONS, VERY DANGEROUS IF PASSING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL 2019. TODAY FOR THE FOURTH TIME SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS LEMON OUR DISPLAY SCREEN WENT OUT AND WE ARE HAVING TO BRING THIS CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WHEN OUR DISPLAY SCREEN GOES OUT WE ARE UNABLE TO SEE OUR BACKUP CAMERA WHICH IS A REQUIRED SAFETY DEVICE
