ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER LONG DRIVES AND HOT WEATHER. AFTER SEVERAL INSPECTIONS BY MY MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TURBO. I HAVE 147,000 MILES ON THE CAR. HE TOLD ME MY CAR WOULD JUST STOP AT SOME POINT. IS THIS REALLY THE PROBLEM? THE ENGINE LIGHT IS SCARY. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A CERTIFIED DEALER IN 2016. MULTIPLE TIMES, THE VEHICLE LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND MAINTAINS ITS CURRENT SPEED. AS IT IT BECAME SLUGGISH. YESTERDAY, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, THE ENGINE STALLED SUDDENLY.

VEHICLE THAT I BOUGHT HAS KNOWN ISSUES WITH MISSING REAR DRIVING DIFFERENTIAL BOLT, THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR UNDER A YEAR AND SINCE I'VE HAD IT IT'S HAD A RATTLE THAT I THOUGHT WAS COMING FROM THE MUFFLER ADDED PUT ONTO A LYFT AND TO MY SURPRISE THE REAR SUSPENSION AND DIFFERENTIAL BOLT/MACHINE JUST SO HAPPEN TO NOT BE THERE. WHEN DRIVING AS CAR HITS SMALL OR MEDIUM BUMPS CORNER ONLY PULLS IT'S ALSO RATTLES DO TO THIS BUSHING MISSING.

TURBO IS ISSUING CHECK ENGINE CODE P2263. *TR

WHEN STOPPED CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN.VERY SCARY.THIS HAS HAPPEN MORE THAN ONCE.WE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF FAST.

I OWNED A 2007 ACURA RDX. ALMOST ONE MONTH AGO, ON AUG 29TH, 2018, I WAS REAR-ENDED ON A FREEWAY, WHILE STOPPED DUE TO TRAFFIC. THE POLICE REPORT SHOWED THE AT-FAULT DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 50MPH. THE IMPACT FROM THIS ACCIDENT BROKE BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATBACKS AND HEADRESTS, WHERE THEY WERE ALMOST TOUCHING THE BACK SEATS AND WE WERE LAYING DOWN LOOKING AT THE ROOF OF THE CAR WHEN THE CAR CAME TO COMPLETE STOP. I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED AND SEATBACKS SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUSTAINED THE IMPACT AND SUPPORT OUR BODIES IN AN ACCIDENT. THE BROKEN SEATBACKS WOULD HAVE PINNED, SEVERELY CRUSHED AND INJURED BACK SEATS PASSENGERS. I'M CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT CAR, AND HAVE A HIGH SAFETY CONCERN ON THE SEATS STRUCTURE WITH ANY ACURA MODEL. I CONTACTED ACURA TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS NOT A COMMON ISSUE, HOWEVER I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSE AT ALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT.

DRIVER'S SEAT BELT OFTEN COMES UNLATCHED RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING.

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL AND I NEVER RECEIVED MY REGISTRATION, AND PLATES, THEY HAD NEVER MENTIONED TO ME THAT THE STATUS OF THE CAR WAS SALVAGE. I ALSO WASN'T INFORMED THEY WERE OUT OF BUSINESS WHEN I WAS IN PROCESS OF PURCHASING MY CAR. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON, AND THE BACK OF THE CAR IS MESSED UP.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED A LETTER DATED 3/2016 FROM ACURA INFORMING ME OF A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR AIR BAG PROBLEMS, WHICH IS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS CONCERN. THE LETTER INDICATED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016. THIS IS NOW NOVEMBER AND THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE CALLED ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS TWICE AND MY LOCAL DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TWICE TO OBTAIN THE PART, ALL THESE EFFORTS WERE WITHOUT RESULT. IN MY MOST RECENT CALL TO ACURA THE REP COULD NOT HELP AND REFUSED TO TRANSFER ME TO A MANAGER FOR ASSISTANCE. I WOULD LIKE THE PART TO BE MADE AVAILABLE ASAP

TAKATA RECALL AS AN OWNER OF A 2007 ACURA RDX I RECEIVED A LETTER ON THE RECALL ISSUED. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE ON JULY 1 , 2016. SOME 3 MONTHS LATER THE SYMPTOMS THAT WERE FIRST NOTICED HAVE RETURNED. THAT IS THE CLICKING SOUND FROM BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE AIRBAG NOTIFICATION WARNING ON THE DASH. I CONTACTED ED VOYLES ACURA WHO PERFORMED THE REPAIRS FOR THE RECALL TO LET THEM KNOW THAT I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN . THEIR RESPONSE WAS SHOCKING AS I WAS GIVEN A CONVOLUTED EXPLANATION THAT AMOUNTED TO THE ASSERTION THAT THE SYMPTOMS I AM EXPERIENCING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. THE VERY SAME ISSUES THAT ALERTED ME TO A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND A VERY DANGEROUS ONE AT THAT WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN MY ACURA RDX WHICH THE DEALER IS INSINUATING THAT ANY REPAIRS DONE WILL BE AT MY EXPENSE. IN MY OPINION THIS IS NOT RIGHT NOR FAIR AND THE ISSUE REMAINS UNRESOLVED. *TR

PARASITIC BATTERY DRAIN FROM HANDS FREE LINK UNIT CAUSING BATTERY TO GO DEAD. GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND SAW MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

I TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND REMOVED THE KEY, 4 HOURS LATER MY BATTERY WAS DEAD.

I OWN A 2007 ACURA RDX. ON APRIL 13, 2015, MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT DID NOT RETRACT, AND THEREFORE WHEN I STEPPED OUT OF CAR, THE SEAT BELT WAS LODGED BETWEEN THE DOOR, AND THE FRAME OF CAR. ADDITIONALLY I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MIDDLE PASSENGER BACK SEAT. THE SEAT BELT IN THE BACK CANNOT BE USED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT RETRACT. I CALLED ACURA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SEAT BELT HAS A WARRANTY UP TO 15 YEARS AND OR 150,000 MILES. MY CAR IS COVERED, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO DEALER ON APRIL 17, 2015, THAT TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS TO BE BROKEN, AND THAT THESE COSTS WILL BE CHARGED TO ME. MY ACURA 2007 RDX IS ALSO SCHEDULED FOR INSPECTION, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A FAILURE. PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 ACURA RDX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE REVVED AND CAUGHT FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE OR FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE FIRE WAS RELATED TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, IRRESPECTIVE OF YOUR SPEED OR TIMING SELECTION. THIS IS NOW CONSTANT AS THEY WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THE WIPER SPEED IS FAST AND WHEN IT DOES INTERMITTENTLY STOP, IT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVERS VIEW AND CANNOT BE MOVED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 AUDI 2.0 (N/A). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WITH HESITATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE OCCURRENCE WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY IN COLDER WEATHER. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD EXHIBITED A GLARE UNTIL THE GLASS WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, IRRESPECTIVE OF YOUR SPEED OR TIMING SELECTION. THIS IS NOW CONSTANT AS THEY WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THE WIPER SPEED IS FAST AND WHEN IT DOES INTERMITTENTLY STOP, IT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVERS VIEW AND CANNOT BE MOVED. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER IS DISTRACTED TRYING TO FIX THE WIPERS AS WELL AS THE WIPERS BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW. THE WIPERS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE LONG AND BROAD. WHICH OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVERS VIEW HEAD ON. IN EYE RANGE. *TR

I HAD TWO EVENTS. ONE WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND STRAIGHT LINE DRIVING AND CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I THREW CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STEPPED ON GAS HARD FOR A SECOND AND CANCELATION STOPPED. THEN FIVE MINUTES LATER, WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, SAME EXACT EVENT TOOK PLACE. I DID THE SAME THING. I HAD THE BRAKES ON HARD AND NO STOPPING CAR. FIRST TIME CAR HAS DONE THIS AND I AM ONLY DRIVER FOR SIX YEARS. BROUGHT TO ACURA AND THEY SENT A CORPORATE MECHANIC TO CHECK AND SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING. JUST GOT CAR BACK. A LITTLE SCARY.

AFTER I DROVE MY 2007 UP MY DRIVEWAY ON A HILL, PARKED, AND GOT OUT, THE CAR BEGAN MOVING BACK OUT IN REVERSE DAMAGING THE CAR DOOR AND GARAGE WALL. THIS CAR ALSO WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN EVEN WHILE ON THE BRAKES. MY DEALERSHIP AND ACURA WAS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN. *TR

SUA INCIDENT. I SLOWLY ENTERED UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE WITH BRAKES ON, TURNED INTO PARKING STALL (BRAKES ON) AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY, RAPIDLY ACCELERATED, OVER RIDING BRAKES AND CRASHED HEAD ON INTO CEMENT WALL CAUSING AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. OVER $9000.00 IN DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE. WITNESS BEHIND ME TESTIFIED THAT I WAS GOING VERY SLOWLY AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON FROM THE TIME I ENTERED THE PARKING GARAGE TO THE TIME OF THE CRASH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ACURA RDX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THIS COMPLAINT IS A FOLLOW-UP TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, ODI #10394383 REGARDING MY RADIAN 65SL, SERIAL #120900960 03603. DESPITE MY HAVING PROPER INSTALLATION VERIFIED BY SEVERAL CPSTS, THE MANUFACTURER CONTINUES TO INSIST THAT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT I AM NOT TIGHTENING THE BELT ENOUGH. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AS EVIDENCED IN THIS VIDEO: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TE4C6YKU8_W THEY HAVE SENT ME TWO REPLACEMENT LATCH BELTS THAT HAVE DONE THE EXACT SAME THING. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT THEY CLAIMED DID NOT WORK BECAUSE "AN INTERN IN THE WAREHOUSE TOOK IT OUT OF A BOX OF DEFECTIVE BELTS." EVENTUALLY, I SENT ALL 3 BELTS BACK FOR "FURTHER TESTING." I WAS INFORMED BY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH ANY OF THE BELTS, AND THAT THEY WERE SENDING ME BACK THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT TO REINSTALL. UPON REINSTALLATION, IT FUNCTIONS EXACTLY THE SAME -- IT CAN BE LOOSENED BY MY 2.5 YEAR OLD'S FOOT WHILE HE IS PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN THE SEAT. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE BELT THEY SENT ME BACK THE SECOND TIME WAS THE SAME ONE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FROM "THE DEFECT BOX IN THE WAREHOUSE." I KNOW BECAUSE I RECORDED THE SERIAL NUMBERS OF EACH BELT THEY SENT ME. THIS BELT SERIAL NUMBER IS SSK -000306-SB-08, LOT# 09J1, DOM 10/09. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS TRYING TO COVER UP THIS PROBLEM SO AS TO AVOID A COSTLY GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2007, MAKE=ACURA, MODEL=RDX). *TR

MY REAR-FACING 2.5 YEAR OLD IS ABLE TO LOOSEN THE TILT-LOCK MECHANISM THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TIGHTEN THE LATCH STRAP ON MY RADIAN 65SL WITH HIS FOOT. HE PRESSES DOWN ON IT WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IT BECOMES LOOSE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2007, MAKE=RDX, MODEL=ACURA). *TR

ERRATIC/UNRELIABLE WIPERS/MOTORS AND CONTROL (NOT BLADES). WIPERS WILL NOT ACTIVATE PROPERLY AND WHEN ACTIVATED ACT ERRATICALLY, EXAMPLE WILL NOT GO INTO VARIABLE SPEED, WILL STOP MID WINDSHIELD. WHEN DEACTIVATING CAN TAKE A MINUTE. THE WHOLE WIPER SYSTEM WHEN TURNED OFF WILL STOP IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE WIPERS WILL STOP AT AN UNPREDICTABLE TIME AND IN YOUR FIELD OF VISION. THUS BLOCKING SOME VIEW AND ALSO DISTRACTING THE DRIVER. SHOULD YOU NEED MORE PROOF, I SHOT A VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENS AND CAN PROVIDE IT IF NEEDED. ACURA ONLY HAS A TSB FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE BUT SEEMS TO BE FOR OTHER VIN#'S. THE VEHICLE IS A 2007 ACURA RDX. ATTEMPTS TO HAVE ACURA RESOLVE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. *TR

WE HAVE A PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED 2007 ACURA RDX, AND NOTICED THAT FROM TIME TO TIME THE IGNITION DOES NOT RELEASE THE KEY WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED US THAT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THAT TYPE OF PROBLEM.. WATER LEAKS FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR INTO THE CABIN, WHICH DISABLES THE IGNITION SWITCH AND PREVENTS THE KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CAR. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED ON ROAD, THREE VEHICLES STOPPED BEHIND THE STALLED CAR. FIFTH VEHICLE HIT THE LEFT REAR OF MY WIFE'S SUV SENDING HER INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AND SO ON. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN MY WIFE'S VEHICLE. *TR

THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2007 ACURA RDX MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN APPLIED ON A SLIGHT DOWNGRADE OR WHEN STOPPING SLIGHTLY HARDER THAN NORMAL. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE BY THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE DEALERSHIP NOW STATES THAT ACURA IS AWARE AND HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GRABBING ONTO THE ROTOR. THE SOUND IS SIMILAR TO METAL TO METAL GRINDING. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 ACURA RDX; NOTICED THE RECALL ON LEXUS/TOYOTA; MY VEHICLE HAS RUBBER MATS OVER THE CARPET MATS AND RECENTLY ACCELERATED; THE PEDAL GOT CAUGHT IN THE MAT AND I HAD TO PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID A COLLISION UNTIL I COULD GET PEDAL TO RELEASE. *TR

PURCHASED NEW 2007 ACURA RDX IN JULY 2007 WITH MICHELIN PILOT TIRES. ON 5/5/08 WITH LESS THAN 14,000 MILES, EXPERIENCED SIDEWALL BLOWOUT ON I-270 IN MARYLAND WHILE TRAVELING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT (TRAFFIC). PURCHASED NEW TIRE AT ACURA. I WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY RUNNING OVER SOMETHING IN THE ROAD (WHICH I DON'T RECALL DOING). 8/22/08 NOTICED ANOTHER TIRE WAS LOW ON AIR. THERE WAS A SMALL HOLE IN THE TREAD AREA SO THE TIRE WAS REPAIRED AT LOCAL SHOP. AGAIN WAS TOLD I RAN OVER SOMETHING. ON NOVEMBER, EXPERIENCED BLOWOUT WITH A LARGE HOLE IN THE SIDEWALL WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON I-70 IN MARYLAND. BROUGHT CAR TO ACURA AGAIN AND WAS TOLD I WAS JUST UNLUCKY AND AGAIN, RAN OVER "SOMETHING" IN THE ROAD. AT THIS POINT, I HAD NOW REPLACED TWO TIRES AND HAD A THIRD REPAIRED. ON DECEMBER 5, I DROVE TO PENNSYLVANIA. THE CAR SAT PARKED ALL DAY. AT NIGHT, WHEN I WENT OUT, THE REMAINING TWO ORIGINAL TIRES WERE BOTH FLAT. I HAD TO STAY OVERNIGHT AND WAIT UNTIL MORNING. I FOUND A LOCAL TIRES PLUS AN PURCHASED FOUR NEW BRIDGESTONE TIRES AS I DID NOT FEEL THE MICHELINS WERE SAFE. IN 17 MONTHS, WITH 22,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I HAVE PURCHASED 6 TIRES AND SPENT OVER $1400. I DRIVE MOSTLY HIGHWAY ON WELL MAINTAINED AND HEAVILY TRAVELED ROADS. I DON'T SPEED OR DRIVE RECKLESSLY. THE VEHICLE IS KEPT IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT AND HAD BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AT ACURA. IN OVER 30 YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE ONLY HAD ONE OTHER FLAT TIRE. I HAVE HAD 4 IN 7 MONTHS. ALL 4 OF THE ORIGINAL MICHELIN TIR

DURING A ROUTINE TIRE ROATAION ON MY 2007 ACURA RDX I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY WORN (90%) AND THE PADS WERE WEARING UNEVENLY. THE FRONT BRAKES SHOWED ONLY 10% WEAR - THE CAR HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
