THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2008 ACURA RDX MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN APPLIED ON A SLIGHT DOWNGRADE OR WHEN STOPPING SLIGHTLY HARDER THAN NORMAL. I EXPERIENCED W/ ORIGINAL BRAKES, REPEATED VISITS TO DEALER HEARD & FOUND NOTHING. AT TIME OF BRAKE REPLACEMENT, BRAKES WERE FINE, NOISE STARTED AGAIN ABOUT 15K MILES INTO THE NEW BRAKES. TOOK TO DEALER ON SAT THEY AGAIN FIND NOTHING REPORT PADS/ROTORS NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP NOW STATES THAT ACURA IS AWARE AND HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GRABBING ONTO THE ROTOR. FEEL MUSHY, RUBBING AND SLOW TO STOP. THE SOUND IS SIMILAR TO METAL TO METAL GRINDING. HAD A LOANER AND BRAKES WERE 1000% MORE STABLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE FAILS TO SHIFT AND HITS REV LIMITER STOPING ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM. MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE IS MARKETED AS AN AUTOMATIC, BUT WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN "S", YOU HAVE TO USE THE SHIFTERS TO SHIFT, HOWEVER IF YOU ARE IN EVEN A SLIGHT TURN, YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE SHIFTERS AS THEY TURN WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS OF THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. ACURA HAS BEEN CONTACTED AN REFUSES TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE.
