Consumer Description

Low beam headlights have become very dim. By not adequately lighting the road ahead, a dangerous condition is being created for the driver. High beam headlights must be used to provide adequate lighting but must be switched to low beam to avoid blinding oncoming vehicle drivers. Acura is aware of the faulty manufacturing of the low beam headlight units but refuses to issue a recall on the RDX model and the dealer charges over $3000 for replacement.
