Traded new 19' RDX ASpec
After having my 19' RDX Aspec SHAWD for 3 months, I had enough of it. I traded it off and it can be someone else's problem now.
From the horrible paint quality, to the infotainment nightmare. To the cylinder misfire to the front suspension squeaking. I hated that vehicle. There is no way Acura should be selling a $48k vehicle with such poor build quality.
Peace out Acura. Never again.

I was thinking of trading my A Spec for an F Pace. 5 year warranty and free maintanence, 0% financing, and they are selling around 10k off sticker. Would almost be an even swap depending on my trade value. I don't think it could have more problems than I've dealt with .

That's four of us so far that have jumped ship after about three months.

I am waiting for the usual suspect to post something like the following:
"That's 4 out of what? 60k RDX sold? A lot of problem free RDX out there, they don't post about it. although I really own one...blah blah blah"

@Damion Goodrich Sad to hear what you went through. Did you contact Acura customer service? If so, what was their response? I think you got a lemon.

I was shopping around last month (XT4, Q5, etc..) and then the new update came out. Since the update my infotainment has been much stabler for my uses. I’m beginning to like my car again. I’m glad I haven’t had any of the mechanical or cosmetic problems I’ve seen with others here. Although I still feel there is a lot to be desired with the electronics, I will probably hold on to the car a little longer. After 4 Acuras though, I won’t be buying another one. For a company to put out a car knowing the amount of problems with it, I will take my business elsewhere next time.

The infotainment system is definitely very glitchy. I had it freeze last week. It was inoperable but wouldn't turn off despite the car being shut off. I had to disconnect the negative cable from the battery to restart. This happened even after the new software update. Other than that I am relatively happy with the car so far (2109 A-Spec). Time will tell if there will be more problems.

Man I hope he comes back. He wouldn't be the 1st to sell a vehicle and stay for the banter.
We are all car peeps and wanna hear about what he's driving now etc...
Plus, he participates in the F1 thread and we can always use more amigos in there to talk smack about

What paint problems did you have? I'm about to fall off the Acura wagon as well. My 09 TSX had NO problems at all, mind you, it was made in Japan. Seems that the Japan made vehicles have been the better made Acura's.

The '08 TL I had was issue free, the '12 TL I had was virtually issue free, the '15 TLX I had had transmission issues, this RDX has had some minor bugs that have mostly been addressed.. nothing mechanical or exterior. .. my 2 cents

It's one of those things that once you become aware of, you can't unsee it.
Of the 16 various makes and models of vehicles I've owned since then (mostly Hondas), they've all had some degree of orange peel. Surprisingly, one of the smoothest factory paint jobs I've seen was on a two year-old Ford Fiesta that I inherited last year. Most of its paint was smooth as a mirror - I was quite surprised.
I had a door repainted on a Civic Si last year. The work was obvious in reflections because the body shop's paint job was much smoother than the factory finish.

In terms of the RDX, I seen a couple reviews where there was horrendous orange peel on the rear hatch near the license plate. It was really really bad.
