2014 ACURA RLX Complaints

WHEN MAKING A LEFT HANDED TURN AT LOW SPEED, CAR MAKES A MOAN SOUNDS COMING FROM THE REAR COMPLETELY THROWING OF THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE STEERING OF THE CAR. RESEARCHED AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE REAR TOE ACTUATOR NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. ACURA HAS THIS RECOGNIZED AS A SERVICE ISSUE ( SERVICE BULLETIN 13-041) WITH 2014 ACURA RLX MODELS PLEASE HELP REMEDY THIS SITUATION. A FULL RECALL IS NEEDED. LIVES ARE AT STAKE!!!

SUDDEN FISH TAIL MOTIONS WHILE TRAVELING ON ROAD AND CAUSE WHEELS TO GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND COULD LEAD TO POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOT ONLY ME BUT OTHERS THAT OWN A 2014 ACURA RLX

THE LAST MONTH OR SO, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE REAR END FISHTAILING FOR A FEW SECONDS THAT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. TODAY AFTER I PULLED OUT OF WORK, THE CAR FISHTAILED WHEN I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING-PAWS, BRAKE ASSIST,POWER STEERING, HILL,LANE DEPARTURE,ETC. THE POWER TO ENGINE WAS CUT, STEERING WHEEL ALIGNMENT OFF. VERY SCARY ON A 65 MPH HIGHWAY. I GOT TO MY GARAGE AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT. THE ERROR CODES SHOWED REAR WHEEL STEERING BUT NOTHING FURTHER. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED AND HOW TO FIX. THE CODE DID NOT HELP. I SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT ACURA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR BEFORE ACCIDENTS OCCUR!

CAR RANDOMLY STEERS ITSELF INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES OR ONTO THE ROADSIDE. ACURA DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT IT, REPAIR COST IS EXTREMELY HIGH. TOO DANGEROUS TO TRUST THE VEHICLE WITH THESE ISSUES. LKAS, LDW, ACC, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM LIGHTS COME ON AND GO OFF. HAPPENS IN PARKING LOTS, AND COUNTRY ROADS, ON HIGHWAYS. STEERING IS ERRATIC AT ALL SPEEDS WHEN THIS OCCURS, NOT NECESSARILY OVER OR UNDER 50MPH. AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A PARKING LOT. ALL TOGETHER WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE 14 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 6 WEEKS. *TR

IN MAY 2015, I PURCHASED A 2014 ACURA RLX AND WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR, I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY START STEERING ALL OVER THE ROAD, MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SEVERAL SENSOR LIGHTS, POWER STEERING SYSTEM (EPS), HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA), LANE DEPARTURE WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, ETC.. WILL COME ON THE DASHBOARD. ONCE THE SENSOR LIGHTS COMES ON THE DASHBOARD, THE CAR BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND STEER. I NOTICE THESE SENSORS WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND/OR MAKING TURNS. SINCE 2015, THIS PROBLEM WILL PERIODICALLY OCCUR UNTIL I TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER IN THE SUMMER OF 2016, APPLE ACURA, YORK PENNSYLVANIA. THIS 2016, DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES UNTIL OCTOBER 2019 AND STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE AS TODAY, JUNE 2020. *TR

MMEDIATELY ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED THE FOLLOWING SENSOR CODES POP UP: VSA, ALL WHEEL STEERING, EPS PROBLEM, FORWARD COLLISION PROBLEM. THE CAR CAN BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. WHEN THE SENSORS ARE ON THE CAR IS NOT ABLE TO GO ABOVE 50 MPH.

I HAD BOTH ACTUATORS REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO. RECENTLY AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL WENT 90 DEGREES RIGHT AS I WAS DRIVING OVER 60 MPH, WHILE TRACKING STRAIGHT, AND ALL THE COMPUTER SENSOR WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING--BRAKES, POWER STEERING, PAWS, LANE DEPARTURE, ETC. VERY SCARY. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. TOOK TO DEALER SERVICE TODAY, AND TOLD ACTUATORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND PERHAPS THE CONTROL UNIT. REPAIR XPENSIVE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, PARTICULARLY IF ONE ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT STEERING WHEEL OFF CENTER SITUATION.
