Driving vehicle est 40mph, straight road city right lane. Car ahead of me (est 2 + car length) turned right,and was no longer on the road I was driving, my vehicle slowed down. I did not press brakes or change drive to neutral. There was no input from me to change vehicle speed. "space reserved" bars use radar to keep designated space. There were no bars for a safety margin. No lights or indicators display on dashboard for reason of deceleration. Normally if I am close to a person who is turning off the road, sensors may detect than and flash brake on the dashboard. This same braking when a person turned has occurred when I was in the left lane city road westbound .that vehicle was approaching me, a 4 lane wide street. I was on the left lane of my divide, the other vehicle was in the right line of their divide eastbound. That opposite vehicle was turning right, my car slowed down although the other car was twice as far away compared to the right-turn complaint above. No input from me, no dashboard warnings, too far away to be considered a safety issue. Another occurrence: was driving straight, est 20mph city road.. Came towards a small dip in the road, est 3' wide, shallow. No vehicles on road. Car slowed down, no indications. I stepped on the gas, no response. Pressed drive button, no response. After getting over the dip, I pulled to the side of the road. Turned car off and restarted, drove correctly after that. Used same road to come back, car handled dip in road appropriately. Summertime drive. Separate issue: brakes are squealing when I drive car at low speeds. City roads, varied speed limits; 25mph to 40mph. Reversing out of parking, press brakes, squeal. Drive to stop sign, squeal. Drive from that stop sign in straight line, city road, come to stop sign, does not squeal. Environments are different; using vehicle in -15f temp up to 85, 90f.

What owners say
2019 new rdx! The car brakes sound horrible everyday! I have been promised over 9 months its being worked on. I've had them changed 3 time by the dealer and still squeaks every time I stop. I'm fearing for my safety because they cannot fix the problem and I feel they will fail soon. It's a very well known problem if you google 2019 and 2020 rdx brake problems they gave me a $300 visa card for my inconvenience!!! I don't know who to turn to anymore because the company doesn't care to fix this 2 year old model's problem
Brakes intermittently make squealing noise (since new) that sound like the built in wear indicators that alert you there is a problem with the brakes. My safety concerns is that I have had to accepted the noises as normal and if there were a problem with the brakes I most likely will ignore the wear indicator noise, like the story of the little boy that cried wolf. People riding in the car, hearing the noises that I no longer notice have made comments that I need to have the brakes check.the car has been taken several times to the acura dealer who says that it is a common issue but can not do anything till acura issue a fix. I have talk to acura customer relations several times but they have not offered any solutions.please help.
Brakes have squeaked esp in the mornings within the first 5-10 min of driving the car ever since I purchased in oct 2018. This is a known problem without any fixes as per previous complaints. Noticed that brakes feel as if something is loose when you apply deep pressure. I have also noticed an interior cabin clicking or rattling type noise when braking as if something is loose in the cabin.
The brakes squeak loudly all the time when I come to a stop or apply pressure. I have been to the dealership 3 times and had them replaced also called acura corporate. Its a known problem that they are looking into but I don't feel safe in this vehicle anymore.I feel like my life is in danger everyday driving this car. Purchased at acura of seattle.
Since purchasing car, I've had: squeaky brakes. Acura is aware but does not have fix. Lane departure issue. A lot of "false positives" which causes car to shake and slow down - very dangerous when another car is driving behind. Acura is aware but does not have fix. Issues with radio and apple care. Does not work intermittently. Acura has done software update to fix but still have problems. Squeaky wipers. Were replaced in september. Need another replacement.
Squeaking and shaking brakes since car was purchased. Has been to dealer 3 times. Acura says this is a known issue on all 2019 rdxs yet has not provided a fix. This is unsafe and needs recalled
There is a constant squealing while braking from the front brakes at all outside temperatures.
My brakes have been squeaking ever since I purchased it in october 2018
