Only 700 Miles on the 2014 RDX and Transmission Problems - 2014 Acura RDX
By billy411 - August 6 - 1:42 pmTransmission was slipping badly. We had to have it towed to dealer with only 700 miles on the car. Quality was the reason I bought Acura and lack of quality will be the reason I sell my Acura.

Test drive a few times before purchasing an RDX - 2014 Acura RDX
By kelley shimo - May 6 - 6:52 amThe RDX rides rough, I can feel every dip, bump, manhole, etc in the road. Test drive on city roads and you will understand what I am talking about. I have encountered some strange brake noises that the Service center said is standard. There is a strange clanging noise in the front when you cross over lane separators or bumps. It is annoying and is standard in the RDX and I also heard it in the TL. It sounds as if the front axle is loose. Substandard paint used on this vehicle, after 1 week, I already have chips. After 7 months, more chips and many scratches some as long as 12". These are not malicious or deliberate scratches; more likely someones purse rubbed against my car as they walked by. I had my Mercedes ML320 for 19 years and did not have this many chips and scratches. The placement of the air vents is nonsensical, the drivers vent is blocked by the steering wheel base and the levers for the turn signal and windshield wipers. I dont see how this design flaw was not noticed by Acura, I need the heat directed toward me not my steering wheel and levers. The heat control is baffling. This car is 3 years old, but in 51 degree weather, it takes a good 10 minutes for the heater to work. Heater set at 73-80 degrees and cool air comes out of the vents. I think for a newer car, I had higher expectations of design and functionality of an Acura. Too many little things add up to an annoying vehicle.

Look elsewhere! - 2014 Acura RDX
By Mac - November 10 - 11:23 pmI have had my 2014 RDX for just over a month. Worst car Ive ever owned. Has a constant vibration, hesitant transmission, rear shocks had to be replaced due to clunking noise, and the list of problems go on. If you are considering purchasing the Acura RDX, my advice is to look elsewhere.
