Safety Defects: Acura MDX Problems and RDX Vehicle Issues

The RDX and MDX have had a number of different performance issues related to the engine. With that, both of these Acura vehicle models have been subject to a number of investigations and lawsuits, conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

  • Problems with 2016-2020 Acura RDX vehicles. 
  • And problems with 2016-2020 Acura MDX vehicles.

Drivers have noticed dangerous vehicle defects and problems that include: 

  • Problems with the vehicle decelerating. 
  • The engine shutting down or stalling without warning. 
  • Vehicle stalling while accelerating. 
  • An unexplained and/or sudden decrease in engine power. 
  • Transmission problems and stalling when shifting gears. 

 

The plaintiff in this class action suit demonstrated that many of these problems with Acura MDX and RDX vehicles may be caused by malfunctions in communication that occurs between the transmission and the software that controls it.
