2013 ACURA RDX Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - ACURA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE FAULTY AIRBAG INFLATORS SINCE AT LEAST FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. IT IS NOW JULY AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. AN ACURA DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT ACURA CORPORATE HAS NOT SENT THE PARTS TO THE DEALERS, MEANWHILE HONDA HAS BEEN ACTIVELY REPLACING AIRBAG INFLATORS ON THEIR VEHICLES.

MY TRUCKS HEADRESTS ARE TILTED SO FAR FORWARD THAT IT CAUSES SIGNIFICANT PAIN IN MY NECK. THEY CAME THIS WAY FROM THE FACTORY. I HAVE TO TURN THE HEADREST AROUND TO RELIEVE THE PAIN, WHICH THEN EXPOSES ME TO AN EVEN HIGHER RISK OF WHIPLASH. YOU IDIOTS AT NHTSA WHO CHANGED THE REGULATIONS SO THAT CAR MANUFACTURERS HAD TO BUILD THEM THIS WAY NEED TO REPEAL THE LAW.

THE BRAKES MAKE A HIGH-PITCHED SQUEAL WHEN AT LOW SPEEDS WITH LIGHT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. MOSTLY OCCURS GOING DOWN A SLOPE(PARKING GARAGE), DOWN A DRIVEWAY, AND SOMETIMES RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT ROADS. THE BRAKES ON THE ACURA RDX CONTINUE TO SQUEAL AFTER BEING "FIXED" TWICE. IN THE DEALER-PERFORMED SERVICES, THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED. WHEN CONTACTING THE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AGAIN, THE DEALER STATED THAT ACURA WAS WORKING ON A SOLUTION. WHEN CONTACTING ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS, THEY ADVISED ME TO SPEAK TO MY DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS NO HELP.
