NHTSA Complaint #11187042 — 2019 ACURA RDX

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM HAS MULTIPLE GLITCHES CAUSING MANY OF THE FEATURES, RADIO, GPS OPERATION, DRIVE MODE CHANGES, SOUND, CLOCK FREEZING, KNOBS AND DIALS NOT WORKING. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP AND WENT IN SEVERAL TIMES. THEY SAID THERE WERE UPDATES WHICH THEY TRIED TO INSTALL AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T RESPOND TO ANY UPDATES PROVIDED BY ACURA. CALLED ACURA, GOT A CASE NUMBER, AND WAS VIRTUALLY TOLD THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON THESE PROBLEMS . THESE 2019 CARS HAVE BEEN OUT SINCE MAY OF 2018 AND THEY ARE STILL MANUFACTURING CARS AND PUTTING THEM OUT TO THE CONSUMER KNOWING THESE ELECTRICAL AND SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED PROPERLY. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE PROBLEMS ARE INTERMITTENT. IT DOES BECOME A SAFELY ISSUE WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS BECAUSE THE DRIVER IS NOT ABLE TO DEAL WITH ISSUES WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. ACURA HAS BEEN LESS THAN COOPERATIVE WITH EITHER THE DEALERSHIP OR THE CONSUMER, JUST TELLING ALL THEY ARE SORRY TO BE PATIENT "THEY ARE WORKING ON IT". MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS (SINCE THE DAY I DROVE IT OUT OF THE LOT.) I HAVE SCREEN SHOTS OF THE MESSAGES RECEIVED ON THE SCREEN WHEN IT IS INOPERABLE AND WELL DOCUMENTED NOTES AND DATES AS TO WHEN IT WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND TO THE ACURA SERVICE REPRESENTED.
