I've had the vehicle since around 44 k, Purchase and shortly months later technology lighting a battery issues, someone started hacking me saying they were a car warranty services, harassment in cybersecurity daily I've had over 6-8 electrical light replacements, 2-3 battery replacements, 3 alternator replacements, hacking is daily asking me to pay brides of $1000 which I have never participated in, someone talks the entire time stating they are getting my information, hacked my plates, tries to control the vehicle and using cyber security. Department of justice suggested to go to acura dealer for cyber ecu reset, inquired car about the car someone hacked the car saying they are trying to steal social security benefits, and preventing employment and want to impact finances. Car was hacked and shut down had triple AAA come out to look at the vehicle which was not working was informed it was the communicator of the body throttle but would need to have dealer process and program because of computer communication to release and preform gas pedal and power train. Picture video proving the noise and item car unable to lock some one broke into the vehicle and impacted the timing belt and etc. I have documents to support but want to be cautious of hackers and would be willing to share directly for safety pre-cautions

On 12/4/2020 during the last service on my 2015 Acura Rdx, the mechanic noticed badly rusted front drive axle shafts and warned me of the possibility of their breaking on the road. I just noticed that Honda is in the process of issuing a recall for the exact same problem. However, 2015 Rdx is not a part of that recall. 20V769 and 20V770 are the recall numbers for the related issue. I believe that Honda should also recall 2015 Rdx since the their drive shaft axles are also rusting.

When accelerating or braking, the car lurches forward. It occurs when even pressure is applied and is most noticeable when applying brakes and vehicle is at 1000 rpms and around 20mph. Often the driver must press hard on the brakes in order to come to complete stop and avoid hitting vehicle in front. This is a recurring issue. Brakes were replaced at 14,000 miles in 7/2016 by dealership and owner feels brakes may have prematurely worn due to the braking issue.

2015 Acura Rdx the acceleration is very touchy in that slight accelerator pressure generates an unexpected increase in speed. The vehicle also tends to hesitate when accelerating while the transmission is simultaneously shifting gears. Also, when braking and applying slight yet constant pressure to the brake, the brakes often grabbed more abruptly. When coasting/slowing down, the transmission had a noticeable deceleration when the vehicle was down shifting. The feel was similar to down shifting of a manual transmission. It was more noticeable at 20-30 mph. The issues occurred when driving in heavy/congested traffic.
