My car has been shaking on acceleration but no engine light or any warning popped up. When I called an Acura dealership, they said they would have trouble diagnosing the problem without a light on. A few days later, while accelerating on the highway, my car started shaking violently and lost power. The engine light started flashing. I could have gotten into an accident because I could no longer accelerate on the highway. I had to slowly pull off to a safe stop. This could have been a dangerous and life-threatening situation. Someone could have crashed into me behind me and I could not quickly get into a safe area. I brought it to an Acura dealership and they could not find anything. The engine light had turned off. Though, when I took the car again, the car was still shaking on acceleration. I was afraid to drive at normal speeds since it is extremely safe. …

I received the notification from Honda via Acura Link regarding my 2019 RDX Fuel Pump Manufacture Safety Recall on 12/18/2023. For additional references, a complaint was filed with Honda (Complaint No. 14397579). I have made several attempts with Acura Dealerships (McGrath Acura Morton Grove & McGrath Acura of Downtown Chicago) to have the fuel pump replaced. Each time I was advised that unless I am experiencing problems, they can not service my vehicle as the do not have the parts available. They did not even inspect my vehicle to assure me that my vehicle is safe to drive. Per NHTSA website it states "if the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury". But what about more severe damages for me, my passengers or others? …

Vehicle: 2019 Acura RDX (Technology Package) I am reporting a serious safety issue involving sudden loss of engine power while driving. On March 14, 2026, I filled my gas tank before traveling approximately 1.5 hours out of town. The vehicle operated normally that day. The following morning, during snowy and icy conditions, while accelerating in traffic, the vehicle suddenly lost power and stalled. Multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard ("Christmas tree" effect), and the steering became very stiff, making it difficult to safely maneuver the vehicle out of traffic. I was able to restart the vehicle, but warning lights remained on. The next day, while driving on the highway under normal conditions, the same issue occurred again. While accelerating, the vehicle suddenly lost power and stalled in traffic, creating a dangerous situation. …

Once again, 3 weeks after the first time it happened, my 2019 ACURA RDX lost ALL power and I had to drift to the side of the road. This occurred on the Baldwin Beach Express and luckily there is not a lot of traffic this time of year so I could get on the shoulder. Car would not restart, all lights around the speedometer had come on. I had to have it towed to the Acura dealership in Mobile where it was towed the first time when this happened. At that time the told me they could not duplicate the problem. Three weeks later it has happened again . The tow truck driver tried to start the car and said " you're not getting any fuel" and asked if the fuel pump had been checked. Supposedly it has been replaced when it was first recalled. Could it be another faulty fuel pump? My question....how dangerous would this be if this happened in the I-10 Mobile tunnel?????? …

I received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) for my 2019 Acura RDX; however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer, Smithtown Acura, has been contacted on numerous occasions since early Spring with no firm date on part availability. Acura has exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. It appears that Acura is delaying compliance in anticipation that more of the affected vehicles are taken off market, therefore, lessening the number of repairs. Is Nhtsa, or any other regulatory agency, expediting, or following up with Acura, for status? My current mileage is 54,700. I do not want to be caught in a situation as a result of dereliction of recall compliance.
