Complaint Timeline
Chronological view of owner reports
Near miss of deer at night due to incredibly poor visibility of low beam headlights. Brightest bulb replacements installed and no change in visibility. Low beam internal reflection is defective
The backup camera has failed. This is a safety problem.
My regular headlights are so dim. When driving at night I have to use my high beams or I cannot see the road. Acura has admitted that there is a problem for the 2015 RDX but has not issued a recall. The original halogen headlight bulbs have damaged the reflective casing that the bulb reflects from. I have tried to improve the beam by replacing the bulbs but nothing works. It is a HUGE safety concern and a flaw in the Acura 2015 RDX headlight assemblies over time.
THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE THAT CAME WITH ALL SEASON TIRES, WAS NOT DESIGNED TO KEEP THE WIPERS FROM ICING UP DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DROPPED TO 26 DEGREES, AND THE DEFROST SYSTEM COULD NOT KEEP ICE FROM FORMING ON THE WIPER BLADES, CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ACURA HAS OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAVE A SAFETY SYSTEM TO KEEP ICE OFF THE WIPER BLADES, SO IT IS OBVIOUS THEIR ENGINEERS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBABILITY OF ICE ON WIPER BLADES. *TR
