2019 Acura Rdx

ON TV NEWS AFTER SEEING A COUPLE OF CARS EVEN A SMALL SUV OVERTURNED IN THE EXACT LOCATION I DAMAGED MY ACURA RDX. I DECIDED TO REPORT MY ACCIDENT. NOT SURE THE EXACT DATE BUT GIVE OR TAKE OCTOBER 15,2019. IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING OF CONSTRUCTION AT THE CORNER OF TREMONT AVE AND VAN NEST A ISLAND WAS CONSTRUCTED WITH WHAT WOULD BECOME A STAND UP TWO AND A HALF FOOT SQUARE BOX WHICH LOOKS LIKE THE BASE FOR A STREET LIGHT.I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT THE LIGHT.THIS STOOD IN A BLIND SPOT NO MARKINGS NO BARRICADES NOTHING NO CONES AND NO FLAGS . I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING UNTIL I FELT AND HEARD THE BOOM BANG. I THEN GOT OUT AND LOOKED AND REALLY SAW NOTHING DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD UP TRAFFIC IT WAS AROUND 6-7 PM. I LOVE MY VEHICLE.IT IS A LEASE BUT I TAKE SUCH GOOD CARE OF IT. I LOOKED AT IT AGAIN AND WAS BROKEN HEARTED THE IMPACT WAS FROM THE BOTTOM WHICH CAUSED BODY DAMAGE

2019 ACURA RDX ADVANCE SH-AWD ODOMETER 12,900 TUESDAY 01/14/2020 14:20; LKAS ON, COMFORT MODE, ENGINE IDLE STOP/START CANCELLED WITH THE BUTTON, 60 DEG F. ON A 300+ MILE ROAD TRIP, THE LATTER HALF UNDER HEAVY RAIN. NEARING MY HOME, THE RAIN WAS ALMOST STOPPED, AND AS I ACCELERATEDUP A LONG STEEP GRADE, THE RDX FELT LIKE IT RAN OUT OF GAS. IT JUST SPUTTERED ALONG UP THE HILL UNTIL I CAME TO A DRIVEWAY AND TURNED IN. I NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED A FEWMINUTES, THEN IT RESTARTED AND HAS BEEN OK SINCE THEN. I DID NOTICE THE NEXT DAY THAT THE IDLE START/STOP FUNCTION IS "UNAVAILABLE" AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO RUN WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I DO QUITE A BIT OF 2 LANE TRAVEL, AND OFTEN MUST PASS SLOWER TRAFFICUNDER FULL POWER. IF THIS SITUATION OCCURS DURING A PASSING MANEUVER WITH SHORT SITE DISTANCE, IT WOULD BE DISASTROUS. BASED ON THIS FEAR, MY DRIVING ABILITY IS NOW SEVERELY LIMITED UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS DIAGNOSED AND RESOLVED.

MY BRAND NEW 2019 ACURA RDX THAT HAD 9200 MILES ON IT SHUT DOWN ON ME ON THE FREEWAY. IT WAS RAINING AND I PULLED OUT TO PASS, GOING ABOUT 75 MPH, AND IT WENT INTO WHAT I NOW KNOW IS LIMP MODE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A DIFFERENT SOUND THAN NORMAL. I HAD SOMEONE TAILGATING ME, SO I AM LUCKY IT DIDNT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. GOT PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO COME IN. THEY SPECULATE RAINDROPS GOT ON THE ENGINE FILTER (FORGET THE NAME) AND THE CAR THOUGHT IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND SHUT DOWN. I HADNT TURNED THE CAR OFF BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID ID BE STRANDED, SO I DONT KNOW IF IT WOULD HAVE RESET ITSELF. STILL, I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR DEPENDABILITY AND IVE LOST ALL TRUST. I HAD HAD THREE ACURA CARS BEFORE THIS. IVE BEEN TOLD THERES NO FIX AND ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON IT BUT THEY COULDNT RECREATE THE SITUATION AND ITS WORKING OKAY NOW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON A TWO-LANE PASSING AND COULDNT GET BACK IN WHEN IT SHUT DOWN BEFORE AN ONCOMING CAR! SO I CANT DRIVE IT IN THE RAIN OR PASS NOW? THE DEALERSHIP HAD ONE OTHER RDX DO THE SAME THING AND IM READING SEVERAL ONLINE. I FEEL LIKE ITS RUSSIAN ROULETTE. DO I JUST HAVE A LEMON OR IS IT A DESIGN FLAW? IM SCARED! THE CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT. THEY DON'T HONESTLY KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRANDED OR MISSING A FLIGHT OR BEING INJURED OR KILLED IS NOT OFF THE TABLE! THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT NOT MAKING IT PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. IT'S A BRAND NEW DESIGN SO THERE MUST BE A FLAW.

WE TURNED ONTO THE ON-RAMP OF I40 WEST IN ARKANSAS AT EXIT 58 HEADING WEST. I ACCELERATED TO GET UP TO SPEED TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I REACHED 70MPH THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATION AND VERY RAPIDLY SLOWED TO 20MPH IN FRONT OF MULTIPLE CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN MISSED BY THE TRAFFIC BEHIND US AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 10-20MPH. WE LIMPED TO THE NEXT EXIT AND FOUND A PARKING LOT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY AGAIN. MY ENTIRE FAMILY COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED! DURING THE INCIDENT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON UNTIL TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 ACURA RDX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED WHILE HIS WIFE WAS OCCUPYING THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED TWICE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOSPORT ACURA OF DENVILLE (3109 ROUTE 10 EAST, DENVILLE, NJ 07834, (973) 298-0330), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 10088356. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 ACURA RDX. WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PARAGON ACURA (56-02 NORTHERN BLVD, WOODSIDE, NY 11377, (347) 862-9539) WHERE IT WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE AN UPDATE WAS COMPLETED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 500.

THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE WAS LEASED IN MARCH 2019. I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT COMES STANDARD WITH MY VEHICLE. THE SCREEN IS GOING BLACK AND NOT RESPONDING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A BRIDGE. THIS IS CAUSING MY BLUETOOTH, BLINDSPOT ASSIST, NAVIGATION, AND ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING. IT WAS AT ONE POINT I WAS TOLD TO PLACE MY KEY NEAR THE START BUTTON IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. I WAS INFORMED BY DANIEL FLORES OF ACURA OF WAPPINGER FALLS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL BE PLACED IN A SITUATION WHERE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF OR A PEDESTRIAN. MY VEHICLE IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND I HAVE I INVESTED MORE THAN $10000 IN IT. THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET OUT OF IT IS TO SPEND AN ADDITIONAL $133.00 A MONTH (WHICH I DO NOT HAVE) AND CHANGE THE VEHICLE OUT TODAY!!!. I AM LOOKING FOR HELP. MY HUSBAND RECENTLY HAD A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE CATCH ON FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY JUST UNDER MY BEDROOM WINDOW. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS MAY OCCUR AGAIN.

ERRATIC DISPLAY OPERATION CAUSES DRIVER DISTRACTION PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO CAR OPERATION (TRANSMISSION). AS SHOWN IN ATTACHMENTS IT DISPLAYS SYSTEM ERROR. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SCREEN GOES DARK. TIRE PRESSURE DISPLAYS FALSE INFORMATION. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES; EACH TIME THE DEALER SAYS NOTHING WRONG OR THEY BELIEVE PROBLEM WILL BE FIX WITH THE RADIO UPDATE. THEY CONSTANTLY RESET THE VEHICLE AND WRITE ON THE REPORT, NO PROBLEMS FOUND. MY OPINION IS THAT THERE IS AN INCOMPATIBILITY WITH THE VEHICLE ELECTRONICS AND THE DISPLAY SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT ACURA IS USING TO PRESENT VEHICLE DATA TO THE DRIVER. IMG_0807 SHOWS THE WARNING OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE WHEN IN FACT ALL TIRES HAVE CORRECT PRESSURE. IMG_0802 SHOWS SYSTEM ERROR WHEN TRYING TO ACCESS A RADIO STATION. IMG_0801 SHOWS THE SYSTEM REQUIRES AN UPDATE BUT NO DEALER OR SERVICE GROUP HAS THE UPDATE. I'M UNABLE TO SHOW THE BLANK OR FLICKERING DISPLAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TELL IF THE VEHICLE IS IN COMFORT MODE OR SPORT OR SNOW
