I am having issues with when you accelerate, the trans jerks & flutters, which is quite dangerous when trying to merge into traffic. I would like this checked into & something done about it, as I love my car, but that is a danger not only me & my family but others as well. There is also a loud clanging noise in the rear, like shocks. I do not live or go down bumpy dirt roads or messed up roads with pot holes. But for my car to be this new, it should not have bad shocks already. As this is concern of mine & by reading others as well.
I am a very careful driver who drives mostly local driving. Without any warning I suddenly started hearing a knocking sound coming from by back drivers side. Then noticing a rough drive and hard knocking sound when driving even over small bumps in the road. I had to replace the back shocks! which was quit expensive!! my car only has 55 thousands miles. I find that to be very unusual on a 5 years old car with on 55 thousand miles. Is this normal
The contact owns a 2013 Acura Rdx. While driving approximately 40 mph, the contact heard an abnormal clunking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle after driving over a small pothole. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rear dampers needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 16,451.
Update to original complaint, Acura dealer said they could not find anything wrong with my car in October 2014, had me test drive a 2015 Acura Rdx to compare the ride to mine. Taking car back again this week January 7th 2015. Car ride is unacceptable to me !!! I feel it is riding even worse than it was in October when they said they couldn't find anything wrong. I feel every small bump in the road and when I have to go over a slightly bigger bump or pull up in a driveway I hear a hollow clunking sound. Overall rough ride. Very disappointed.
