So I've only had my 2019 Rdx Aspec a week now. Not in l love with the road departure mitigation system. Dont like my steering wheel shaking. Also, the automatic stop/start engine. Not a fan! My thinking is what if the engine doesnt start at an intersection. Then I'm left stranded. Also, this has to cause wear and tear on the starter. So, last but not least I had the lane keeping assist off and I felt like there was play in the steering. I had a hard time holding it in the road on the highway doing 70. Not sure what this was all about. May have to reach out to the dealership on this one if it keeps up. Also, the sports+ mode seems.like it revs up the engine to 3k rpm. Feels like it's not shifting when it should. Kind if stresses me out for something I've paid 45k for. Positves: the body style is spot on. I have the white & black. It really reminds me off a Evoque. The interior- love it. The look is awesome and the dual moon roof.. love it!! I hope these issues subside within a few weeks. Thought Acura would have done their home work better before releasing this vehicle. We also have a 2018 Rdx tech pkg and I love that vehicle..

Loved it and now I regret It

I have had my new RDX for 4 months. I have 5k miles on it. Gear shifting is spotty. Brakes scream. Suspension crunches and squeaks when you go over bumps. I’m driving a brand new car the rides and sounds like a 15y/o car. Dealership tells me Acura is aware of all these issues but head quarters won’t let them fix it till there is an official recall. They are not sure what is causing it yet. My screen freezes and fails all the time. To protect myself I started videoing all the noises and issues. Now they are taking me more seriously! This is my 3rd time at service and it’s really hard not to tell the couple in the show room to run! I loved this car and I’m truly disappointed by it. When everything is working it’s amazing, but that’s a rare occurrence. Sorry for typos I’m on my phone and I am truly aggravated that I am sitting her at the dealership yet again.

2019 RDX A-Spec. Poor infotainment performance

Technology systems experience random failures, at various times sometimes when driving. Functionality can sometimes be restored by stopping the car and restarting the engine. Sometimes the vehicle must sit for hours with engine off to restore functionality. System failures include dashboard lighting, vehicle display screen, and heads-up display. Numerious dealer visits have provided no solution till today when I was informed that that this is a software issue and that a software vehicle update is required. However this is not available, has not been available for around since November 2018 when I bought my car and no timeline has been offered for this update. I regard this as a safety and driver distraction issue that can lead to collisions. Acura needs to place a higher priority on this issue in order to provide owners with a safer driving environment.

My Blue Apex Pearl RDX: Awesome SUV

Reading over many unsatisfied customers, I am relieved that my own experience isn't the same. I know how frustrating it is when your car doesn't function and live up to the value of the car. I had some run-ins with my own MDX; minor issues that can mount to be real annoyance. Nevertheless, this RDX has been awesome to drive and the engine's sound it produces is really nice; especially during cold starts, the engine hums with power. I love it! Although many others complained about the touch pad, my own experience has been very positive. It took some time to get use to but the fixed position to control the infotainment is perfect and easy to use. The ability to swap the split screen was an excellent decision by Acura. The only annoyance with the navigation system is the fact the speech recognition software isn't very accurate. When I tell it to navigate to a concern address, it often gets it wrong; I would have to repeat it several times before it gets it close. Sometimes, the spoken address is completely wrong and doesn't get it right. Having used the Acura system before, you need to make sure the city location is according to its own database. Another minor issue with my car, is the rubber seal that surround my panoramic roof. It doesn't leak but it is slightly off on the right side. It looks like it is slightly more pressed in; potential problem of dust and dirt getting trapped in that space and eventually ending up in the water drain in the sun roof. I may take it in to have service look at it. Other than these very minor issues, nothing else to report. Right now, it has nothing but joy to drive and enjoy the new car.

Just joined Class Action RDX lawsuit

My 20 year love affair with Acura is over! I also just joined the recently filed Class Action lawsuit... [HTML removed] Nothing but infotainment connectivity headaches, screen blackouts, CarPlay unavailability, and transmission issue at 2,000 miles. The ride and new styling are great, but hassles with infotainment issues, upgrades, and six trips (one was flat-bed tow in) within first 10 months is ridiculous. Presently am considering other car options. To those who have not experienced/or poo-pooed the infotainment issues, consider yourselves lucky!
