2017 ACURA RDX Complaints

THIS VECHICLE STARTS TO LOOSE POWER, JERKY ACCELERATION THEN CUTS OUT COMPLETELY. ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE AND REMAINS ON UNTIL I TAK IT TO THE DEALER. PURCHASED IN MARCH 2018, THIS IS A CONTINUAL PROBLEM AND GETTING WORSE. THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR THREE WEEKS FROM JUNE 20, 2019, AFTER THREE (3) WEEKS HE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. PROBLEM OCCURED AGAIN TODAY, JULY 28, 2019.

MY VEHICLE HAD TWO RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM . IT WAS SERVICED BY THE FIRST RECALL , HOWEVER THE SAME PROBLEM RETURNED WITH ANOTHER AIRBAG NOTIFICATION . WHEN I CONTACTED ACURA AND MY DEALER THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT DESPITE THE LATEST RECALL MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST. I BELIEVE IT HAS TO BE RELATED ,BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY VEHICLE IS EXEMPT FROM THE SECOND RECALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE IMMINENT DANGER . I NEED YOUR HELP. I NEED TO KNOW WHY VEHICLE IS EXEMPT .

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM ON AND CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE VEHICLE WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY BRAKE FOR NO REASON. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. WITH LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM ON AND CRUISE CONTROL OFF, THE VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY GIVE A "BRAKE NOW" WARNING FOR NO REASON. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE ISSUE HAS BEEN CORRECTED BUT IT IS UNKNOWN IF THIS IS CORRECT.

I REQUESTED FREE DIAGNOSTIC FROM ACURA AND THEY DENIED DUE TO INVOLVEMENT OF ACCIDENT ON 2/27/2018(REAR-END). BUT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN THE BODY SHOP CERTIFIED BY ACURA AND I MADE CLAIM AGAIN TO GEICO INSURANCE COMPANY TO FIGURE OUT. THE SUBJECT VEHICLE HAVE THE FUEL CONSUMPTION DROPPED FROM 25 MILES/GALLON TO 20 MILES/GALLON AND SMELL GASOLINE WHEN TURN ON THE ENGINE. ACURA CASE# IS 09121073 AND MR. AMARY TALKED ME ABOUT THEIR WAY TO DEAL WITH CUSTOMER. THE SUBJECT VEHICLE IS LEASED AND WE HAVE STILL 2 YEARS TERM LEFT ON IT. ACURA IS TRYING TO IGNORE A POTENTIAL HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US OUT...THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME READING THIS.

THE AIR CONDITIONER/CONDENSERS ON HONDA AUTOMOBILES ARE PRONE TO DAMAGE FROM ROAD DEBRIS BECAUSE OF A DESIGN DEFECT THAT HONDA & DEALERS REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND I WANTED TO SLOW MY CAR DOWN BECAUSE I WAS APPROACHING A CONSTRUCTION AREA. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE BREAK PEDAL WENT RIGHT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS TOTAL BREAK FAILURE DID NOT ALLOW ME TO STOP MY CAR.

WHEN THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE, YOU CONTINUE TO DEPRESS THROTTLE, THEN THE ENGINE BEGINES TO JERK AND SLOWLY ACCELERATE. ENGINE APPEARS TO DIE WHEN YOU ARE IN THE SLOW DOWN SITUATION. I HAVE TO PRESS ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR GOING. GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE YOU NEED A LOT OF ROOM TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE A V6 ENGINE HESITATED AT THE ACCELERATION AND EVEN YOU ALREADY DRIVING. PASSING CARS IS NOT EVEN AN OPTION, FAILURE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY IS NOT POSSIBLE . STARTED EXPERIENCING IT AT 800 MILES . VERY UNSAFE, UNPREDICTABLE, AND A BIG DISSAPOINTMENT.
