RDX rear suspension issues-2015 and later?

I'm sure this topic has been discussed before; on this site I read several complaints by owners that their 2g RDX had rear suspension noise and other issues, at least up to 2014.
I'm looking at the 2015/16 RDX and wonder if those problems have been fixed in the 2015 vehicles and forward?

I have a 2018 and the noise is bad, a very annoying bass rumble. For my 2015 I complained and the dealer substituted a different set of rear shocks, but the improvement was slight.

I had the clunk in my 16 (I have had almost all the issues the RDX is known for). The dealer CSR told me the TSB was mostly for northern based cars, but did the bushing upgrade anyway. It is certainly better than before, but not silent.

My 2013 RDX had a rear clunk for about 3 years prior to the suspension finally collapsing. Luckily it was covered under warranty.

In my RDX, rear suspension noise rises a lot more when cold out.

My front suspension has been making a ton of noise this winter.

What do you mean by 'collapsing'? What part(s) failed?

Don't remember the exact verbiage the dealership used but I believe the shock basically broke on my rear passenger side. The car rode like garbage over any type of imperfection in the road until Acura replaced it for me.
