Multi purpose camera not multi after 75,000 kilome

I assume all post RDX models are equipped with CMBS systems and VSA systems etc. These and others are all dependant on a multi purpose camera mounted behind your rear view mirror. When this camera packs it in your systems all stop working. Replacing this camera can run you a nice bill of $2000. Don't expect your dealer or Honda to back you up ! ! I had barelly 75000 kilometers or 40000 miles for you Americans.My dealer has had two incidents of this type ln years and indicated to me a defective part. After 30 years of driving Hondas this will be my last. I expected a good will adjustment of some kind but they won't answer my calls ! !

After three years as our only retirement vehicle ...zero issues. In fact my wife finds it easier to drive and much better all around view of road than a GLE. Solid 23.9mpg.

1016 RDX AWD: Almost Perfect

High Tech, High quality, Excellent Value. I live on a steep hill and the AWD has worked well in heavy snow with factory all-season tires. The car has remained solid and quiet after 3 years and 21,000 miles. I find the GPS awkward to program. Integration with my android phone has been spotty. Cell phone messaging support has been on and off (currently on). When I use google maps (GPS) on the Samsung phone, I need to turn off the cellphone bluetooth or play the GPS audio through the bluetooth input (without music). I would prefer published maintenance intervals; the dealer sometimes suggested very short durations between maintenance events. The service quality has been excellent, however. Overall, I am very pleased with my choice to purchase the RDX.

Clutch started coming out

I bought Acura RDX 2016 not even 6 years and car started falling apart. Clutch started coming out and I see all the wires and airbags. All the sudden car started making a loud noise when I back up from the drive way. I been buying Acura for almost 15 years and this is the first time I seen it. Went to the dealer and they said factory warranty doesn’t cover even though I paid up to 100k. My car has only 58000mil It’s ridiculous. Beware before you buy Acura RDX now I feel uncomfortable buying a new one
