Consumer Description
RDX headlights become dim after 6 years and important safety issue when driving at night ; dealership initially blamed sun damaging outside plastic however despite repeated buffing nothing improved spending almost a one thousand in cost for buffing without any improvement in dim light ; now they are stating it is an issue with reflective surface inside ; the acura RLX was recalled for this issue why has the acura RDX; the dealership is charging each customer at least 2-3 thousand dollars to replace ; should this not be a basic function of the car ; do we have to have an accident for a recall to occur ; I am having to use my high beams driving at night ;
