When using auto brake hold when stopped in traffic and if engine auto start stop is engaged, if the auto start stop turns the engine back on there are times when the auto brake hold releases by itself and car starts moving forward. This could be a safety issue in case there is a pedestrian in the cross walk or if the driver does not hit the brake pedal immediately could hit the vehicle in front. I do not see acura having any recall to fix this. A forum link of other people reporting the same issue: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-rdx-problems-fixes-458/brake-hold-issue-977762/
2019 Acura RDX brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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
I reported an issue with my 2019 acura rdx, where if: engine auto stop is enabled, and brake hold is enabled. On two occasions, the vehicle lurched forward while the brake hold is enabled this propelled me to the side of the intersection today, with a 2020 loaner, it happened again
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.
Vehicle would not change gears, stuck in first gear going over 50 MPH on the highway.
From march 2019 to present: when driving at speeds above 55mph, the vehicle slams on it's brakes automatically and comes to a complete stop. I then have to put the rdx in park, then back into drive before I can accelerate again. This happens when no other cars are around the front of the vehicle. This has happened a total of 10 times. A couple of the times it has happened, other cars have had to swerve around me to miss rear ending me. There is no warning lights or noises before the car slams on the brakes. I have previously had pain from the seat belt locking up so quickly in my shoulder and chest areas. This has been reported to both acura corporate, acura customer service, white bear lake acura, and jay wolff acura. This has been in the shop a total of 5 different times within 2 different states with each time the service department saying "couldn't duplicate the issue". This vehicle will injure someone if this issue continues. The infomative screen is also solid black and has not worked for the past 38 days. The radio, navigation, back up cameras, etc does not work. The dealerships are also not able to fix this after 5 times in the shop.
My 2019 rdx awd twice now under 4600 miles had steering lock up while traveling on a busy highway. Collision brake mitgation system warning started flashing on display and lost control of steering the car! Lucky both times that I was able to pull off road out of traffic!! Dealer could not find anything wrong the first time and said no recalls or incidents reported. Happened today again 7-13-29 and having car towed back to dealer.
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
