2015 Acura RDX Structure

Paint started to peel off at upper side of rear roof (under the upper side of the gate). I have reported this issue el the dealership and as of today they haven’t yet responded. Vehicle sleeps in the garage every day and.only has about 72,000 miles. Same issue happened with my 2012 Honda Odyssey (same white diamond color). Honda fixed the van under extended warranty. So I hope Acura (Honda) does the same for my RDX. I understand same is happening on the MDX of similar years.

Paint peeling inside tailgate frame and rear roof

DISCOVERING MULTIPLE LOCATIONS WHERE PAINT IS PEELING. IDENTICAL LOCATIONS TO THE ACURA MDX WHITE PEARL PAINT. REAR ROOF NEAR REAR DOOR, REAR DOOR BELOW GLASS, LEFT REAR PANEL, FRONT PANEL NEAR HOOD, REAR BUMPER AND FRONT WINDOW PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FRAME.

SIMILAR TO THE 2015 MDX, THE RDX WHITE PAINT IS ALSO PEELING IDENTICAL TO THOSE AREAS OF THE LISTED ON THE PAINT WARRANTY EXTENSION OF MDX.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY MOONROOF SUDDENLY SHATTERED. I HAD TAKEN A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND SHORTLY AFTER I REACHED THE 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AT FIRST, THEN I HEARD MORE CRACKLING FROM ABOVE AND FIGURED IT WAS THE MOONROOF. LUCKILY I HAD THE SHADE CLOSED AND THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME AT THE TIME. SINCE THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND AND I WASN'T DRIVING UNDER AN OVERPASS, IT SEEMS TO ME THIS HAPPENED SPONTANEOUSLY VS SOMETHING LIKE A ROCK HITTING THE MOONROOF.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN US RTE 95 YESTERDAY, GOING OVER THE BRIDGE INTO PORTSMOUTH, NH AT ~65 MPH, MY SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED, COVERING ME AND THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR WITH BROKEN GLASS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO AN EXIT JUST OVER THE BRIDGE AND CALL FOR ASSISTANCE. I THINK I AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT BY VIRTUE OF THERE NOT BEING A LOT OF CARS NEAR ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS A SUNNY DAY, ~50 DEGREES AND MY CAR THERMOSTAT WAS AT 67 DEGREES SO TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL WAS NOT A FACTOR. BOTH THE STATE POLICE OFFICER AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER OPINED THAT THE WINDOW BLEW OUT FROM WITHIN. THE OFFICER ALSO CHECKED THE BRIDGE FOR POSSIBLE FALLING DEBRIS THAT MIGHT HAVE HIT THE CAR AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF THAT.

TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 74 MPH THE MOON ROOF SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE INSIDE VISOR WAS OPEN AND THE GLASS MOON ROOF WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME. GLASS FRAGMENTS DROPPED ON TOP OF DRIVER AND PASSENGER.
