First "issue" with my RDX

My commute is to work is about 7 miles each way and my max speed is about 45 mph. We took a trip to Jacksonville last weekend and noticed a lot of vibration on the interstate especially over 60 mph - which is why I haven't noticed it before now. My husband took the RDX in yesterday and apparently we lost a wheel balancing weight at some point. Customer services was excellent. A little inconvenient but its all good now and I'm looking forward to the next road trip

Ahhhh, fond memories of Buckhead, Perimeter Mall, Turner Field, etc... Spent many a day down in ATL for business several years ago and now get back to Duluth, GA once a year for about a week.

Anyways, when I lived in downtown Indy, I had a 7 minute walk or a 3 minute drive - very similar to your commute as my car never got over 30 mph and I too had a balance problem one weekend when I took my car out of town and up to speed.

Perhaps I miss most the "Southern Belle" hospitality and kindess from all of the wonderful women from Georgia. My co-workers (male and female) were always amazed at how approachable and kind the women were.

Anyways, a nice area up there!

My husband read this and called to correct me. Apparently we didn't lose A balancing weight, we lost all of them.

That seems really odd. I would think that balancing would be done at the factory, so somebody really flaked on your car.

No, it was done at the dealership because I opted for the 19" wheels.

Was it Acura Carland? The wheels were never balanced to begin with.

No, it was Ed Voyles Acura in Chamblee. I guess it is possible that no one balanced them to begin with, but my husband said they were very apologetic about them "falling off" and he said the service person was great when he brought it in so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for now.
