We purchased a 2017 RDX in July 2016. Less than 2 weeks after we bought it, brakes started squeaking- after some inspection, they replaced the rotors and pads. Now we are at just less than 18 months, and 2 MORE SETS of ROTORS, and 4 more sets of pads, and the brakes still squeak and sometimes it still jerks a bit when you begin to stop. Acura/Honda knows this is an issue... the dealership basically wiped their hands clean. The manufacturer basically doesn't care. Anyone else have these issues...? I read somewhere there was a class action suit about this... Thoughts..?

 

 

2016 RDX Base AWD had this but lived through it
2016 ILX Premium had this only when car wasn't used for a period of time, lived through it
2018 RDX AWD Advance just picked up yesterday and squealed for a moment. Point being big deal, no reasons change your breaks or rotors. If this is such an annoyance change brands?

 

We have suffered the same with our 16... I have had a similar amount of replacements and still have squeaks. We also had a defective parking brake from the get go which would not register as being on when the car was started. l drove 50 miles with the brake on with no warnings given. The dealer didn't believe me until they saw it themselves. A connector was not done properly from the factory. I had to have the entire parking brake system replaced under warranty. Many other issues as well. Won't be buying another Acura in the future...

 

a one post wonder?

 

If only the OP had suggested a class action suit in the first sentence I wouldn't have had to read any further. These guys seem to pop up in forums for all manufacturers, suggest the same, get shouted down and are never heard from again. OP, if you're still around, just go to the auto supply store, get some 'disk brake quiet' (or similar) and apply it to the offending pads. A simple solution.

Cheers!

 

 

Could it be this TSB?

TSB 17-049 - Front Brake Noise and/or Front Brake Judder (2013–18 RDX)

 

 

I think a lot of people who spend $40k on a vehicle expect certain things, because, well they just dropped forty large.

I look at it this way; cars are made of metal, there ARE going to be squeaks and squeals, etc. and should only be a minor annoyance

 

I agree. Honda/Acura just aren't great with brakes and rotors, but this is such a minor thing and most of the time fades after a while or I just don't notice it.

Every brand has some kind of issue I'd rather had it be squeaky brakes than a faulty transmission
