SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

3 complaints

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

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.

SEAT BELTS

2 complaints

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

Aug 10, 2018

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

VISIBILITY/WIPER

2 complaints

Aug 05, 2014

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

CHILD SEAT

2 complaints

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

Apr 25, 2011

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

SEATS

1 complaint

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.

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.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON, AND THE BACK OF THE CAR IS MESSED UP.

VISIBILITY

1 complaint

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

TIRES

1 complaint

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 TIRES GAVE OUT. I AM FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT INJURED BUT I AM CONVINCED THE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ACURA RDX. WHEN THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM IS PLACED ON AUTO AND THE WEATHER IS WARM, THE RECIRCULATION WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW FRESH AIR TO ENTER THE VEHICLE, AND FORCES THE CONTACT TO KEEP THE RECIRCULATION ON MANUAL. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. ACURA STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO PERFORM IN THAT MANNER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7. UPDATED 07/29/08 *BF UPDATED 08/01/08

1 complaint

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 11/23/06 AND ON 1/27/07, THE P1009 CHECK ENGINE EMISSION FAILURE CODE CAME UP ON MY NAVIGATION SCREEN JUST AS MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN ITS CURRENT SPEED. MY SPEED WAS REDUCE IMMEDIATELY FROM 60 MPH TO 20 MPH AND THE RPM DROPPED FROM 3 TO BELOW 1. THE CAR BECAME SLUGGISH AND ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS STALLING. THE CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY SENT IN FOR REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD THE SOLENOID WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY WHICH CAUSE THE VEHICLE TIMING TO BE INCORRECT. TODAY IS 2/28/07 AND THE CAR WAS TOWED AWAY BECAUSE THE SAME ERROR OCCURRED ALONG WITH A NEW ERROR. THE VSA FAILURE ALERT APPEARED ON MY NAVIGATION SCREEN FOLLOWED BY THE P1009 CHECK VEHICLE EMISSION ERROR. IT HAS BEEN 1 MONTH TO THE TEE AND THE SAME SYMPTOMS REAPPEARED. THE CAR LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE STALLED SUDDENLY. *NM
