Issues with multiple axel replacements
I have a 2010 FWD RDX tech pkg. First had to replace the axels in 2015 at around 100k miles. Second replacement was 2018 with an additional 55k miles. Axels failed s week later. Acura replaced the axels no charge...here we are s month later and they are failing again. I am the first owner of this car. It has always been serviced at Acura and all of the replacemts have been done at Acura. Is anyone else having this kind of issue?

Hello
Has the place you've had them replaced mentioned what exactly has failed on the axles?
Two things come to my mind, either (1) might be a transmission issue with where the axles go in (a bearing) and causing them to fail; or (2) the wheel hub (also a bearing) where the other end of the axle goes has something wrong causing premature failure.
It's highly unlikely you've gotten bad axles each time, but the possibility does exist. I honestly just feel like they may not be solving the actual issue(s).
Do you have any driveability issues? Vibrations, noises, etc?

Only had the car serviced at an Acura dealership. I never thought to ask what caused them to fail until now. The car is going back in to the shop tomorrow. I too think there is an underlying problem that’s not being fixed. Can you expand on the two issues you stated so that I am a little more educated when I take it in? I find it really hard to believe that I would have three sets of bad factory parts. The car does start shaking normally for about 10 mph (like between 40-50 the first time) it’s started between 70-80 this time.
