Hi everyone, so long story short I purchased a 2019 acura rdx tech package july 10th of this year. Love the car, however last week it started doing this strange thing, the alarm randomly goes off, and the car will not react to key fob. I have to take the key out of the fob and manually unlock the car for it to stop the alarm.

sometimes when i try to turn the car off, it will flicker, the instruments, headlights and everything. Sometimes all the accessories will turn off, and the engine will keep running despite me having pressed the off button.

Its still under warranty, but im stressed if they’re even gonna cover it as i had gotten the car detailed a couple of days before the electrical issues started, that detail involved the use of a power washer, so maybe water got somewhere it wasn’t supposed to?

but yea, if anyone has any insight to what this may be, id really appreciate it.

 

perhaps the battery in the car is going out.

 

i hope its as simple as that. Im taking it in today to see what the issue could be. Ive noticed the start stop wont work either, so it really might be the battery.

 

Update

took it in today, turns out it was the body control module. The module is back ordered, but all covered under warranty. Just have to bring it back when the part arrives, asked for a loaner car, but they said “it could take a month, so we cant loan out a car that long” wack :/

 

same thing happened to me.. the part has been back ordered for more then half an year for me what did you do about it?

 

Hey bro. So I contacted acura corporate about my situation almost a year ago. They then contacted the dealer and said to keep my car there and give me a loaner, and that’s what they did. My car was there almost 6 months, as I drove a loaner. But they were able to fix it, and ever since then it’s been flawless.
