Engine light comes on after long drives and hot weather. After several inspections by my mechanic, I was told I needed a new turbo. I have 147,000 miles on the car. He told me my car would just stop at some point. Is this really the problem? The engine light is scary. It happens while driving on the freeway.
I purchased this car from a certified dealer in 2016. Multiple times, the vehicle lost its ability to accelerate and maintains its current speed. As it it became sluggish. Yesterday, on my way home from work, the engine stalled suddenly.
Vehicle that I bought has known issues with missing rear driving differential bolt, this is indeed a safety concern. I have had this vehicle for under a year and since I've had it it's had a rattle that I thought was coming from the muffler added put onto a lyft and to my surprise the rear suspension and differential bolt/machine just so happen to not be there. When driving as car hits small or medium bumps corner only pulls it's also rattles do to this bushing missing.
Turbo is issuing check engine code p2263.
When stopped car accelerates on its own.very scary.this has happen more than once.we put the car in park and shut it off fast.
Vehicle stability assist applies brakes without driver pressing the brakes

I owned a 2007 acura rdx. Almost one month ago, on aug 29th, 2018, I was rear-ended on a freeway, while stopped due to traffic. The police report showed the at-fault driver was driving at about 50mph. The impact from this accident broke both the front driver and passenger seatbacks and headrests, where they were almost touching the back seats and we were laying down looking at the roof of the car when the car came to complete stop. I don't think this should have happened and seatbacks should be able to sustained the impact and support our bodies in an accident. The broken seatbacks would have pinned, severely crushed and injured back seats passengers. I'm currently looking for a replacement car, and have a high safety concern on the seats structure with any acura model. I contacted acura to find out that this is not a common issue, however I did not receive any response at all. I don't know what to do at this point.
