What Owners Say
"Front Sensor is inconsistent. Alarm goes off when no objects present or fails to signal when object present"
Frederick S., FL (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"The front parking sensors went bad twice but this was covered by warranty and replaced by dealer for free."
Serguei D., TN (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"In beige color, screen can't be brightened to see choices"
Frederick S., FL (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Numbers and letters on display screen were jumbled and not readable. Received prompt and corrective action from ACURA dealer"
Robert K., AR (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Occasionally (but not frequently), the radio control channels do show correctly on the entertainment screen."
Anonymous, WA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"The screen would freeze and or show jibberish"
Anonymous, CA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"The pre-set channels came up blank, wrong, or late. The dealer replaced the unit and it works ok now"
Counseling C., ID (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"When I go into reverse the backup camera does not always come on. I have taken it in and they say that is the way they are and that you have to immediately put the car in reverse after you turn it on. Don't take a few seconds to fix mirrors etc. Unfortunately I still have the problems sometimes even when I immediately put it in reverse. Then once I back up without the camera and put it into drive the backup camera comes on and is very disruptive. It almost makes you dizzy."
A M., CA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"The screens would fill with random gibberish or go blank. A new unit was installed."
Anonymous, CA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"I've taken the RDX in numerous times, but nothing has been done to stop the issue. I provided photos and a video of the screen going black. The bottom line is this- planning on trading it"
Anonymous, FL (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"I had some issues continuing the SIRIUS XM on the car past the free period. It also loses my speed dials and contacts"
Anonymous, VA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Interface with iPhone does not work - requires a Pandora app that doesn't work. USB regularly cuts out with iphone and disconnects. Blue tooth is very slow reaction"
Dennis Q., VA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Pandora connection is very poor. Interface does not sync consistently with current selection"
Anonymous, VA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Nav has numerous errors such as incorrect street names, exit names and numbers"
Anonymous, NY (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"You need to learn Acura language, it is totally useless when driving using voice commands and not much better when stopped and using on screen controls. Only way I can even begin to use it without wasting time is through Acura Link which I can then forward to the vehicle, then it works. In contrast I rented a 2017 Ford Escape, that took me 30 seconds to learn, it understood my voice commands even when I wasn't very clear!"
Gerry S., SK (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Nav system does not work with toll roads even though there is an option for it"
Anonymous, VA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"NAV is a joke, completely useless. I use it as entertainment comparing it to WAZE which is flawless"
Guy L., NY (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"The Navigation is completely useless. It is supposed to route you around traffic but it does not. i takes you on convoluted routed to your destination. There are numerous errors min the maps. Acura dealer reinstalled software to no avail. I don't use it anymore, I use Waze"
Guy L., NY (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Most of the time having trouble with incoming and out going phone calls"
Anonymous, IL (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Android phones keep dropping and reconnecting on conversations"
Bart C., FL (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Occasionally I have to pair my phone to the Bluetooth. It should stay paired al the time. not worth going back to dealer for"
Harvey S., MA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"You have to reset it every once in a while (Pairing)"
Anonymous, IL (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Sometimes radio would show information in what looked like Japanese characters versus English"
Anonymous, SC (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Screen displayed unknown characters/symbols instead of the station call numbers, i.e. 92.9 FM etc"
Anonymous, AB (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Radio display response was very slow and sometimes the display was in Japanese"
Anonymous, SC (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Intermittently, all stations except one disappear and SiriusXM doesn’t work. Then everything's okay the next time the car starts."
Anonymous, PA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Channel screen fields on the screen would remain blank"
Anonymous, TX (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"The voice control feature is near worthless, as it rarely identifies the commands we are giving to it the first time (or at all). It's quite frustrating, especially since it makes the in-car navigation system essentially not worth using."
Anonymous, WA (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"the system often does not follow commands"
Anonymous, OH (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)"Same issue as Navigation system, needing to use Acura language - useless!"
Gerry S., SK (2016 Acura RDX None 3.5-L V6)
"Auto collision avoidance system went wonky.. Simple dealer fix . All is ok now"
