2014 ACURA RDX Suspension Problems

REAR ROOF BODY PAINT IS PEELING NEAR THE TAIL GATE. REAR SUSPENSION IS CLUNKING WHEN DRIVING OVER MINOR ROAD IMPERFECTIONS.

ACURA HAS A REAR SUSPENSION ISSUE WITH MANY OF THEIR SUV'S BUT IS TRYING TO AVOID ISSUING A RECALL BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO CHEAP TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THE REAR SHOCKS HAVE A DEFECT WHICH RESULTS IN A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. ACURA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T GET OFF THEIR REAR ENDS AND FIX THE ISSUE. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING AT ACURA IN DENVER COLORADO FOR OVER THREE MONTHS AND THEIR HANDS ARE TIED BECAUSE ACURA DOESN'T SEEM MOTIVATED TO FIX THE PROBLEM PROMPTLY. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE CARS WAITING FOR REPLACEMENTS ALL OVER THE USA AND OTHERS ACURA OWNERS THAT DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS SITUATION IS GOING ON BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING MISLED AND ACURA IS INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO KEEP THIS UNDER WRAPS.

BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY AT 61,000 MILES

1. FAULTY SHOCK ABSORBERS. THIS IS KNOWN THE PROBLEM WITH ACURA'S. MANY RDXS FRONT AND REAR SHOCKS MUST REPLACED, BEFORE 50,000 MILES 2. ABNORMALLY CORRODING BRAKE ROTORS. 3. FAULTY BUSHING ON SHOCK ABSORBERS. THIS CAR CLUNKS LIKE THE JUNK PILE IT IS. 4. DEALERSHIP REQUESTING TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE FLUID CHANGE, ON A 28,000-MILE VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 ACURA RDX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE STRUT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

AT SLOW SPEEDS (< 30 MPH), WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE, A LOAD DRONE/CLUNK NOISE OCCURS FROM THE READ OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT THE DEALER AND HAD THE REAR STRUTS REPLACED. PROBLEM WAS RECTIFIED BUT NOW THE ISSUE IS SLOWLY RETURNING. THIS ISSUE IS BEING SHARED BY MANY AS DISCUSSED ON THE ACURA RDX FORUMS. *TR
