The airbag light came on in XXX. on our 2017 Acura RDX. Took the vehicle to Acura Buerkle in [XXX] for service and to look at the light. We were told the vehicle is not safe to drive as the air bag sensor needs to be replaced. Initially the dealership gave us a loaner vehicle and then called and said they don't know when the part will be available and gave us a rental vehicle. That was in XXX. Every month since all we hear is there is no estimated time of delivery for the part. Today, XXX, received a call from the dealership telling us again no ETA on the part and we need to return the rental vehicle. Acura is not going to keep paying for a rental yet they continue to tell us us the vehicle is not safe to drive without the part, but they want us to pick up the vehicle anyway. Since the car has sat for 10 months, we now have to replace the battery, brakes and rotors. Escalated a complaint with Honda directly and the only response I get is a weekly email telling me no ETA on the part. Since the vehicle is not under warranty (extended warranty expired a few weeks prior to us bringing it in) this is the excuse they are using for not covering the rental. The dealership also said since this isn't a recall issue, there is not urgency to the matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Acura RDX 2021.Faulty seat weight sensor front passenger seat. My wife is petite, [XXX] " and weighs [XXX]. When she sits in front passenger seat, at times, the seat weight sensor doesn't register that she's sitting in the seat and the air bag is not engaged. intermittently, the SRS light illuminates but many times it doesn't. I've taken the vehicle into the dealer (Chevy Chase Acura, Bethesda, MD) and they say there is nothing they can do when the SRS light is not on. I've brought the vehicle into the dealership several times. They say that parts are limited and not generally available and are expedited only when the SRS light is illuminated. I've called and spoken with American Honda Customer service and they refuse to help stating the same thing the dealer says. But this is definitely a safety issue. NHSTA Recall # 24V‑064. Service Bulletin # 24-015. Please help. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On oct 31 2019 we purchased the 2020 rdx advance and the passenger front seat airbag light off has been sporadically staying on when my wife is sitting in the passenger seat. Which indicates the airbag is not armed on that side. Luckily we have been taking photos of the switch coming on with her sitting in the seat. They say its a weight issue which is unacceptable. If you turn the car off the airbag light resets to off when she is sitting in the car. If the car is running and you pick up a passenger the airbag light does not turnoff. Dealer responded it being a weight issue and that the sensors are different between the driver and passenger. This is unacceptable safety issue.

I purchased a 2010 acura rdx from car zone, located at 18690 van buren blvd I riverside, ca. Before the purchase, I addressed the tire pressure air light and the unsteadiness of the vehicle. There was also a recall on the vehicle in which the dealer did not fix. I took the car to metro acura in montclair, ca for the recall on august 5th. I drove 3 blocks and the air bag safety light came on. I took it back to metro acura on august 9th and they stated the air bag light had nothing to do with the recall. I filed a case with acura , #09780205 on august 12th. At this point, no one wants to accept responsibility for the air bag maintenance. This should not become my problem because the air bag recall should've been addressed by the dealer before the purchase. Acura corporate and metro are pointing the finger at each other. This is a safety issue for anyone whom rides in the passenger front seat. At this point, I just want it fix before it becomes a liability. Please advise, who should be responsible for the resolution? Thanks

Since I purchased the vehicle, the passenger airbag light does not always go out even with my wife who weighs 105 lbs is properly seated with seat belt on.vehicle is parked. In order to clear this, I need to turn off vehicle and re-start. This happens on occasion but is not every time. Dealer has checked several times and said they calibrated the seat weight to 65 lbs. My vehicle has been in service at least 4 times for this issue and others that are intermittent. I have several photos and videos of this issue and have currently filed lemon law for this vehicle

2019 acura rdx a spec, has had a repeated issue with the front passenger airbag indicator light coming on when a passenger is in the front seat. Passenger is 120 lb female and the light has repeatedly come on and stays on until the vehicle is stopped with the ignition switch and restarted. This has been a random issue that has been documented with video and shown to the dealership. Dealership has witnessed issue in person while the vehicle was connected to their computer. Acura has replaced the seat frame, weight plate and new sensors along with the supplemental restraint system computer. Despite repeated repairs the issue continues and acura's position is the vehicle is operating as designed. Dealership service advisers say that in the case of a front end accident while the light is on and airbag off the airbag will not deploy. This is a safety issue that acura/honda refuses to address.
