Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I was driving in the rain on a dark desolate road. The engine began to malfunction, suddenly losing most power. The car would only go up to 20mph. I believe this condition is known as “limp mode”. Simultaneously the “check engine” light was illuminated. When I pulled off the road I shut the car off. I waited a couple of minutes and restarted the car. The condition miraculously disappeared. This was a very frightening experience because it happened on a major highway in the middle of the night.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Today, when accelerating on an onramp, merging into interstate traffic, the vehicle suddenly decelerated to about 30mph. Traffic, including a semi, was approaching at a higher rate of speed. I was able to get off the into the emergency lane but was concerned about being struck from behind. I stopped the engine, restarted it, and had no further problems. I tried to reproduce the problem but was unable. I contacted the dealer but was told it would be hard to repair if it wasn't reproducible and was advised to see if it recurred.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My wife purchased this car about one month prior to this incident. It was presented as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. While traveling on the PA turnpike, the car suddenly and with no warning went into "limp mode", with only enough power available to maintain about 20 mph. The "check engine" light came on, and we continued at about 20 mph on the shoulder, hoping to come to an exit. After a few minutes and no exit in sight, we stopped and turned off the engine while considering what to do next. When the air inside of the car became uncomfortably warm, I turned on the engine so we would have a/c. Immediately, it became apparent that the engine was working normally: no "check engine" light, plus other positive indications. We resumed our trip, arriving home safely. Our safety was at risk since the engine lost power with no warning whatsoever, and occurred while we were in a travel lane. As of this report, the car has not been taken to a dealer.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I exited a highway, decreasing speed to merge with local traffic, tried to accelerate and car revved but would not go over 30 mph. Drove home with safety flashers on, then tried to back into driveway to keep front of the car accessible, but the car would not shift into reverse. Toggled back and forth between drive and reverse and it finally shifted and I back in. Had the car towed to the dealer, they had it for 2 days but could ot duplicate the problem, and told me it was probably a communication error among the various car computers. I have since learned that this has happened twice to my neighbor who also has the same model/year vehicle. I have not gotten any satisfaction from the dealer.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
On July 20 2021, I was driving at 45 mph when I pressed the accelerator and the car did not accelerate while making a loud sound. I pressed it again and it repeated the behavior. Meanwhile the car became slower and slower. There were no warning lamps or messages. I stopped the car and after about five minutes, I restarted it and it worked as usual. However, the technicians at the dealership were unable to confirm the issue with the vehicle losing power while driving through a DTC check. They mentioned that there were no PGM-FI DTCS present and are not sure what component may have malfunctioned. It was so scary, I am afraid to drive this car. This issue is extremely dangerous because the car rapidly decelerated in the middle of the road. This could have easily caused a potentially fatal crash in traffic. It unsafe to drive this car knowing that this issue could repeat at any time without warning.

Potential Consequences:
Vehicle went into limp mode while I was accelerating up to speed onto a highway crossing lanes and driving uphill. All acceleration stopped, and the vehicle quickly decelerated due to being on a steep hill. It was not raining at the time. I had moved into the leftmost lane, and luckily there was a left shoulder to pull the car onto. The check engine light came on and was flashing. I turned the car off and back on, and it started. There could have been a very bad accident.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Driving on the highway ~ 70mph in a rain the vehicle had a loss of engine power and went in to limp mode. It was a harrowing experience in the bad weather with traffic and no place to safely pull to the side of the road. Vehicle would only crawl @ ~ 5mph. This is the second incidence in a year. Its a major safety issue. Acura says it cannot be fixed unless they can duplicate the problem with my vehicle. Highly unlikely that will happen. I pointed out that other owners of the RDX have had the same issues. Acura stated that they do not listen to online forums. This is a serious issue in my opinion that will one day or perhaps already has caused loss of life.

Potential Consequences:
Three hours into a four hour road trip, we had been driving in the rain when needed to overtake a slow car in the right lane. Went to accelerate when car lost all power and a check engine light came on flash. Pulled over to the emergency lane and turned flasher on. Car had to be glided into the lane as there was little to no power when using the gas. Thankfully we had not passed the vehicle yet when we lost power and the car behind us had enough room to slow down. After turning the car off and on again check engine light went off and car had normal power again. We were able to drive it for the next hour without further issue. We will be bringing this into the dealer to have it inspected. Currently car has only around 18k miles on it and have never had this issue before.

Defect Description:
VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
Windshield chips and cracks easily from minor road debris. My 2019 Acura RDX Advanced with approximately 22,000 miles has needed to have the windshield replaced 3 times since purchasing (fourth windshield since buying). The latest replacement lasted less than a week before cracking again. These cracks hinder the structure of the windshield, can obscure view, or refract light; limiting driver visibility and affecting the safety system. Seemingly minor strikes from road debris cause stellate chips and cracks 3-4 inches long that cannot be repaired; requiring complete replacement of the windshield and realigning of camera/radar safety systems. The windshield was replaced by professional service (Acura referral) service center using Acura replacement glass. Based only on my personal experience with other cars, this seems a too common event that is likely the result of a manufacturing defect or design flaw. Speaking with the tech at the service center, he said this is a common problem for this vehicle but could not point to any official reports or references.

The latest replacement lasted less than a week before cracking again. These cracks hinder the structure of the windshield, can obscure view, or refract light; limiting driver visibility and affecting the safety system. Seemingly minor strikes from road debris cause stellate chips and cracks 3-4 inches long that cannot be repaired; requiring complete replacement of the windshield and realigning of camera/radar safety systems. The windshield was replaced by professional service (Acura referral) service center using Acura replacement glass. Based only on my personal experience with other cars, this seems a too common event that is likely the result of a manufacturing defect or design flaw. Speaking with the tech at the service center, he said this is a common problem for this vehicle but could not point to any official reports or references.
Additional Notes:
Windshield chips and cracks easily from minor road debris. My 2019 Acura RDX Advanced with approximately 22,000 miles has needed to have the windshield replaced 3 times since purchasing (fourth windshield since buying).
