2020 Acura Rdx

PURCHASED BRAND NEW. AT 100 MILES BRAKES MAKE NOISE AND I CAN FEEL ABRASIVE RUBBING/GRINDING. AT WET CONDITIONS, NOISE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE AND GENERATE VIBRATIONS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. DEALERSHIP REPLACE BOTH FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS ONLY TO HAVE TO THE SYMPTOM RE-OCCURRENCE ABOUT 20 MILES LATER. SUBMITTED COMPLAINT TO ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS AND WAS TOLD IT IS COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA BRAKES AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.

FRONT BRAKES MAKE NOISE AND YOU CAN FEEL THE ABRASIVE RUBBING. I HAVE HAD BOTH THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED AR APPROX 2500 MILES ONLY TO HAVE THE SYMPTOM REOCCURRENCE ABOUT 500 MILES LATER. DEALER SAYS A TICKET HAS BEEN OPENED WITH ACURA TO REMANUFACTURE BRAKE PADS BUT I HAVE NOT HAD AN UPDATE IN OVER TWO MONTHS I THINK. HAPPENS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES GOING ABOUT 40-45 MPH

BRAKES DEFECTIVE. NEW 2020 ACURA RDX AT APPROX 1100 MI BRAKES STARTED LOUDLY GRINDING/SQUEALING DURING STOPPING. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2020 RDXS AND THEY WOULD PERFORM A 2019 TECH BULLETIN FIX. AUTO WAS FINE FOR 2 MONTHS AND STARTED AGAIN AT 2100 MI. RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE AWARE OF ISSUE AND THERE WAS NO FIX BUT IT WASN'T A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY WOULD CALL IF ACURA EVER DETERMINED THE PROBLEM AND A FIX. CAR NOW ONLY HAS 2400 MI BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE ON A HIGHWAY GOING OVER 40 MPH BECAUSE OF SAFETY. CAR WAS SOLD BRAND NEW WITH A KNOWN BRAKE DEFECT. CLAIM WAS FILED DIRECTLY WITH ACURA AND THEY ADVISED THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX BUT ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE WE HAVE A $49,000 CAR SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FURTHER THAN A FEW MILES. ACURA DID NOT TELL US WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE WE DON'T THINK THEY KNOW OR THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A FIX.

BRAKES MAKE A CONTINUOUS HIGH PITCH SQUEAL NOISE WHEN ENGAGED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES EVERY TIME I START DRIVING MY CAR REGARDLESS OF WEATHER. STERLING ACURA REPLACED THE BRAKES AND ROTORS BUT THE ISSUE REMAINED. HONDA SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THEY REASSURED ME THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TELLING ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT OR HOW TO FIX IT. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY BRAND NEW 2020 ACURA RDX ASPEC.

WE HAVE A 2-MONTH OLD 2020 ACURA RDX. WE PURCHASED THE CAR ON OCTOBER 21ST, 2019. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 1,500 MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME. WE WERE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE ON A 4-LANE ROAD. AS WE APPROACHED A RAILROAD CROSSING, OUR CAR CAME TO AN ABRUPT AND FORCEFUL HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE RAILROAD TRACKS ARE NOT ROUGH AND WE HAD NOT APPLIED THE BRAKES AT ALL. THE LIGHTS WERE NOT FLASHING AND THERE ARE NO GATES AT THIS RAILROAD CROSSING. WE WERE SHOCKED AS THIS WAS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED. WE ARE WORRIED THAT SHOULD THIS HAPPEN WHEN WE'RE DRIVING IN SNOW OR RAIN, WE MAY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN WHEN WE'RE BEING FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER CAR, IT WILL CERTAINLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE AND ALSO A DASH-CAMERA VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
