I’m in the same boat as you, @sosajeffrey! The adaptive cruise control has seriously startled me a couple of times. It’s like the car has its own agenda!
As for the infotainment issues, I found that resetting the system sometimes helps. Still, it’s annoying to have to do that frequently.
I didn’t know that! I’ll give it a try to see if it makes any difference. Thanks for the tip!

Honestly, I’ve started to think of my RDX as a quirky companion rather than a reliable vehicle! It keeps me on my toes with all these electrical hiccups.
Haha, I can relate! My car is like a stubborn pet with a personality of its own. I love it despite all the quirks!
Reflecting on this, I think these electrical problems really take the shine off an otherwise fantastic vehicle. It’s a shame because the comfort and design are top-notch.
True @david72, but do you think the newer models have addressed these issues? Would it be worth considering an upgrade?
I’ve heard that the 2016 Acura RDX had some recalls, notably for the fuel tank and steering column. It’s good to keep up with those updates.
That’s right! Acura addressed these issues quickly, and they usually covered repairs under warranty for affected models.

In terms of service updates, I read that they provided software fixes for some of the infotainment glitches. It’s worth checking with your dealer for the latest recommendations.

Yes! The technology can be a bit finicky, and those updates can really help smooth things out.
And don’t forget about the airbag recall! That’s a big deal and every owner should ensure their vehicle gets fixed.
Exactly! Safety is key! They also sent notifications to owners, but you should check the VIN on the Acura site just to be safe.
I’ve had issues with the brakes on my RDX. Has anyone else experienced premature wear?

Yeah, I had that problem too! I think the pads might need to be replaced more often than expected.

I’m also curious, what kind of costs can I expect if I need to replace parts due to these recalls or issues?

Typically, recalls are free, but outside of that, it can vary greatly depending on the repair shop. Always good to get multiple quotes!
The RDX is a great vehicle, but these issues can definitely be a headache! Just stay on top of your maintenance, everyone!

True! But at least we have each other to share tips and experiences! It’s like a support group for RDX owners!
I mean, if my biggest problem with the 2016 RDX is dealing with a few glitches, that’s not too bad, right? But the thrill is in the adventure!
