NHTSA Complaint #11110760 — 2014 ACURA RLX

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE STRAIT AT LOW SPEEDS, I STARTED TO HEAR MOANING OR RUBBING NOISES FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION ON A REGULAR BASIS. A FEW TIMES, I WOULD FEEL LIKE MY CAR WOULD SLIDE IN THE BACK END AND QUICKLY CORRECT ITSELF. ON A PARTICULAR TIME ON A LOCAL CITY STREET TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 30MPH, MY VEHICLE'S REAR STARTED TO DRIVE SIDEWAYS TAKING MY CAR TOWARDS A DITCH ALONG THE ROAD. AFTER 2-3 SECONDS, THE CAR CORRECTED ITSELF. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PRECISION-ALL WHEEL STEER SYSTEM (PAWS) NEW FOR THE 2014 YEAR MODEL RLX. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS THROUGH THE INTERNET, I LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS WERE HEARING THE SAME NOISES AND FEELING THE SAME LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ONE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE THAT WAS AIMED AT SOME LOOSE REAR SUSPENSION BOLTS BELIEVED TO BE CAUSING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS. THE OTHER HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO REAR TOE ACTUATORS IN THE PAWS SYSTEM. ACURA HAS PLACED SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE ACTUATORS BUT IS NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE FLAWS OF THE PAWS SYSTEM AND DEFECTIVE PARTS. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL REPEAT THE SAME UNSAFE ACTION AND FEEL THAT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE OR SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT FROM AN ACCIDENT. WE ARE TRYING TO ALSO ADDRESS THIS WITH ACURA AND ARE AWAITING A RESPONSE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET AND THEY MIGHT NOT BE AWARE TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH 69,0000 MILES. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE.
