damn I have no problem wit my steering wheel , I clean my car every week, I have no openings In tha back and my shit don’t jerk and I have tha same car 🥴🥴 they sold you a throw away
I don't have those issues on mine, but experience shattered rear window, fuel pump recall, all warnings on now and need to get to dealership. It's still on list of more reliable than Korean, European and other American brands.
What made you opt for the FWD model over the SH-AWD, given the steering issue mentioned ? Did you not test drive the two prior ? I’m guessing that you didn’t give the car a once over/check for any design flaws before buying !
Out of honesty it was the only available combination in the State of Georgia at the time with the White exterior and red interior. I reviewed an RDX with AWD a few months prior. In hindsight, I’m glad that I went with the FWD because it’s a much more dramatic driving experience. And I did, but these things are minuscule. I still enjoy it. I’ll get service to check on the braking issue.
The one thing that you really lacking let me tell you I will drive is where it’s at when it comes to twisty roads the all wheel drive is very active and you can feel it when the ass of the car rotates around like a rear wheel drive car. As far as your interior complaints about keeping it clean use some 303 interior cleaner, it resist dust.
My wife's Honda Pilot had the same issue with the hatch having large gap on one side when we took delivery new in 2018. We complained to the dealer and they had their autobody shop adjust it to sit even on both sides. They said it was common and when I walked around their lot every single one was off center. Was bizarre though because when we were at a different dealership theirs were all perfectly even so it was either a poorly finished batch or the other dealership was proactively fixing them.
You sprung for A Spec but not SH-AWD is what you don’t like about your RDX. The RDX has a strong engine for the small platform that it’s running. So it’s going to feel “jerky” especially without AWD.
And if you live the car in hot son your infotainment screen gets burn, had to replace mine, lucky was under warranty. But I love the car and performance is great.
Good to know! Got a '23 last week and I noticed the jerky transmission. Going to inquire on my next scheduled maintenance visit. Otherwise, nice car. Thanks!
I have a different steering wheel. No issues with mines. It looks even on both side of the back. The inside doesnt get dusty like yours and ive had mines for a month already 😂. I wonder where you live at?
Good video, what did Acura told you about the gap on the back door. I’m thinking of buying one but here in PR are sow expensive I’m interested in the aspec Sh-awd which goes for $74,000.00 and that is without bank interest and insurance sow when you add those things you’re looking about $80k maybe a bit more for that model here in Puerto Rico.

my mom has a 2020 RDX base awd. it doesn’t have the steering, transmission, or lift gate issues, but it has a rattle somewhere near the steering wheel and on the front right dash/roof area. the transmission performance is actually amazing and very responsive. i would Check if Acura can fix the lift gate under warranty.
@@IAmTheKiaKing kias are garbage lol. acura is like lexus. i mean they’re nice at first but they don’t hold any value and very cheaply made. also they catch on fire all the time and have tons of recalls. personally i will always stay far away from kias.
That's the thing with Acura's, it's only sold in North America, Lexus is sold in every single country world wide and would never have quality control issues like that!!
I bet you the tailgate can be fixed by Acura. And all wheel drive systems on crossovers is very pointless. It’s added weight, extra maintenance, and lower fuel economy. No matter what band you get, AWD systems cost cost more, they don’t do very much for performance. Acura added one to keep up with stupid auto makers like Audi.
This is probably due to when you place your car in park and let go of the gas, your car starts to either roll forward or back and when you change it to drive, the gears will move move and pop out of park to drive. This will eventually mess up your transmission. Which is why it’s important to utilize the parking brake after you place your vehicle in park
Dude you have more dust in a week than I have in mine after 40k miles. What desert do you live in? Also, that looks like it’s been rear ended. No way Honda sent that out like that.
We have a 2020 RDX Tech Starting at 8,000 miles the transmission has a hi pitched whine starting at 62 mph thru about 78 mph Acura service Rep says normal which is BS This is our 4th new RDX and our 6th new Acura…likely our last
The underpaying is just a Honda. You kinda just get what you’ve asked for. I’d be grateful that at least they have better sound insulation when compared to other Honda models.
@@IAmTheKiaKing nice, thanks for the reply. I’m in Canada and looking for a new SUV, how would you rate/compare the Sportage PHEV to either the Tucson PHEV or the RAV4 prime PHEV? No bias since you work for KIA though, lol. TIA
I just can’t believe, in 2023 people are into that old bubble/round design. It reminds of early 2000 lexus RX models. And that hideous, tacky interior dash with 50 buttons. It’s just really odd to me.
I think you got a lemon dude
😂😂😂
Damn lol
I’m happy you posted this because I thought I was losing my mind. My trunk is the same way.
Y’all got lemons. Mine is fine
Ultra easy fix this happens to any brand if the tailgate gets forced closed on something.

Probably because they were the first couple of vehicles out of the production line after some kind of adjustments to their machines or materials
My 2.0t accord with the ten speed is jerky asf too that’s just how they are

How so?

Wow that gap! This is why I like my Japanese made and assembled Mazda CX5 w turbo
Yes i agree with everything you said, same issues I have
Good information. Thank you for posting
That gap is no joke! Hope you have that covered under warranty.
Transmision can be túned at the dealer for free, they did mine.
Good to know! Got a '23 last week and I noticed the jerky transmission. Going to inquire on my next scheduled maintenance visit. Otherwise, nice car. Thanks!
Only thing I agree with is the jerky transmission at low speeds. Minor issue all things considered. 2023 owner here.

Well I hope everything work out good 👍🏻

The thing about the black on the infotainment area is bull crap it gets dusty like that on every car
Why do Acura keep putting that dated dash
It looks like the 90 cassette deck like the Aiwa.
Wish they would make it more mature.
Looks fine to me
Me too!!!
Good for you guys!

Had the same problem with the tail gate at the same side, gap is big....
I think you got a lemon
Should you have gotten a Lexus RX, BMW X3, or Honda Passport instead of Acura RDX?
Who gets a acura in fwd when they offer sh awd smh I understand the gloss black complaint though for sure
my transmission is jerky too.. going from P to Drive, the car will bounce sometimes.

Dude you have more dust in a week than I have in mine after 40k miles. What desert do you live in? Also, that looks like it’s been rear ended. No way Honda sent that out like that.
Agreed. Looks rear ended and Honda needs to stand by their work.
Do you buy or lease your cars
Both of mine are leased!
Lease - you can return it after the lease
Buy it out if you like the car
They should offer a wood trim instead of gloss black plastic
I disagree about the steering, agree with the plastic and low speed trans
What do you mean "disagree"? He may have an issue with HIS car.
@@raknoknak ok well when he was talking about the steering he said “Acura’s electric assisted steering setups”. Not my steering setup
Offtop question: are there automatic wipers in A-spec package?
Yes
Mine is also jerky on low speeds
Mine is a 6 speed manual so is kinda normal for me lol
So I have the same 2021 Rdx a spec and I have NONE of these isssues
We have a 2020 RDX Tech
Starting at 8,000 miles the transmission has a hi pitched whine starting at 62 mph thru about 78 mph

Should of got the Genesis
Buns!!!
It sure isn't a kia. Thank god.
If you don’t like it responsive at low speeds get a 4 cylinder 😂
Here is some things I don’t like about your video…
Why are we shooting VIDEO in photo mode instead of landscape? 🤦🏼♂️
Keep a micro fiber towel and wipe ur dash man.
