WE HAVE A PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED 2007 ACURA RDX, AND NOTICED THAT FROM TIME TO TIME THE IGNITION DOES NOT RELEASE THE KEY WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED US THAT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THAT TYPE OF PROBLEM.. WATER LEAKS FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR INTO THE CABIN, WHICH DISABLES THE IGNITION SWITCH AND PREVENTS THE KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CAR. *TR
2010
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE PURCHASES A 2010 ACURA RDX. MY WIFE NOTED THE FUEL INDICATOR STATED SHE HAD 20 MILES LEFT BEFORE EMPTY. BEFORE SHE COULD EXIT FOR GAS (WITHIN 5 MILES THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS). SHE WAS ON A FREEWAY IN A VERY DANGEROUS AREA AT RUSH HOUR. THE POLICE BROUGHT IN BACK UP AND SET FLARES, THEN ORDERED THE CAR TO BE TOWED DUE TO THE DANGER TO MY WIFE AND THE OFFICERS RESPONDING. WE ALERTED OUR SALESMAN AT ACURA. HE STATED THIS WAS THE 4TH COMPLAINT HE PERSONALLY RECEIVED ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF GAS DUE TO A FAULTY CALIBRATION ON THE FUEL INDICATOR. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RESULT IN INJURIES IF NOT DEATHS. IN MY OPINION, A WARNING LETTER SHOULD BE ISSUED BY ACURA. *TR
