not surprised, had an 07, then an 08 RDX, both left the dealer not aligned and not balanced. the 07 took 3 tries to balance, the 08 - they got lucky and did it right the 2nd time lol, the 08 steering wheel had to be reset as well, it was all cockeyed ha

well...they come ready but to an extent....they still need to be checked, and there are procedures that need to be done.

my dealer excuse with the 08 - they said they didnt have the computer specs for the 2008 models at the time so they couldnt properly align the car, yet they still had no problem giving it to me all waked out. ehhh.

I'm not sure about in the US, but over here in Canada we have a "pre-delivery" checklist. The dealer is responsible to go over the whole list and make sure the car is ready for delivery according to those requirements in the list. I forgot the requirements and I'm not sure if I still have the paper, but I can try find one at the dealer.

yea there is a pre-delivery checklist with them all, but this is done by the dealer...so refer to said complaints above lol

its easy to make a check mark in a box, but its not easy to actually check, or maybe it is, but they still dont do it.
