This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
1. faulty shock absorbers. This is known the problem with Acura's. many Rdxs front and rear shocks must replaced, before 50,000 miles 2. abnormally corroding brake rotors. 3. faulty bushing on shock absorbers. This car clunks like the junk pile it is. 4. dealership requesting transmission/transaxle fluid change, on a 28,000-mile vehicle
The front brakes on my 2014 Acura Rdx wore out after only 15,000 miles. This is two to three times faster than any previous vehicle. They wore out so quickly that the brakes wore all the way down to the rotor causing metal to rub.
The brakes do not stop the vehicle consistently. The story of my incident goes as follows: I was driving in dry conditions as I approached a stop light and began to apply the brakes. Once the vehicle came to a complete stop the car then began to slide into a busy intersection. The only way I was able to stop was by putting the car in park. Luckily the other drivers were able to see something was wrong and did not proceed to drive through me. This has happened to me twice! the other time I was driving under wet conditions and the car did not even come to a complete stop. It just continued to slide into the intersection. I am very concerned for my safety and life! Acura dealership refuses to admit that there is anything wrong with the vehicle after inspection and I don't know what else to do. The dealership has continued to dismiss my concerns.
