I OWNED A 2007 ACURA RDX. ALMOST ONE MONTH AGO, ON AUG 29TH, 2018, I WAS REAR-ENDED ON A FREEWAY, WHILE STOPPED DUE TO TRAFFIC. THE POLICE REPORT SHOWED THE AT-FAULT DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 50MPH. THE IMPACT FROM THIS ACCIDENT BROKE BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATBACKS AND HEADRESTS, WHERE THEY WERE ALMOST TOUCHING THE BACK SEATS AND WE WERE LAYING DOWN LOOKING AT THE ROOF OF THE CAR WHEN THE CAR CAME TO COMPLETE STOP. I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED AND SEATBACKS SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUSTAINED THE IMPACT AND SUPPORT OUR BODIES IN AN ACCIDENT. THE BROKEN SEATBACKS WOULD HAVE PINNED, SEVERELY CRUSHED AND INJURED BACK SEATS PASSENGERS. I'M CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT CAR, AND HAVE A HIGH SAFETY CONCERN ON THE SEATS STRUCTURE WITH ANY ACURA MODEL. I CONTACTED ACURA TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS NOT A COMMON ISSUE, HOWEVER I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSE AT ALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT.

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL AND I NEVER RECEIVED MY REGISTRATION, AND PLATES, THEY HAD NEVER MENTIONED TO ME THAT THE STATUS OF THE CAR WAS SALVAGE. I ALSO WASN'T INFORMED THEY WERE OUT OF BUSINESS WHEN I WAS IN PROCESS OF PURCHASING MY CAR. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON, AND THE BACK OF THE CAR IS MESSED UP.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED A LETTER DATED 3/2016 FROM ACURA INFORMING ME OF A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR AIR BAG PROBLEMS, WHICH IS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS CONCERN. THE LETTER INDICATED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016. THIS IS NOW NOVEMBER AND THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE CALLED ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS TWICE AND MY LOCAL DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TWICE TO OBTAIN THE PART, ALL THESE EFFORTS WERE WITHOUT RESULT. IN MY MOST RECENT CALL TO ACURA THE REP COULD NOT HELP AND REFUSED TO TRANSFER ME TO A MANAGER FOR ASSISTANCE. I WOULD LIKE THE PART TO BE MADE AVAILABLE ASAP

TAKATA RECALL AS AN OWNER OF A 2007 ACURA RDX I RECEIVED A LETTER ON THE RECALL ISSUED. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE ON JULY 1 , 2016. SOME 3 MONTHS LATER THE SYMPTOMS THAT WERE FIRST NOTICED HAVE RETURNED. THAT IS THE CLICKING SOUND FROM BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE AIRBAG NOTIFICATION WARNING ON THE DASH. I CONTACTED ED VOYLES ACURA WHO PERFORMED THE REPAIRS FOR THE RECALL TO LET THEM KNOW THAT I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN . THEIR RESPONSE WAS SHOCKING AS I WAS GIVEN A CONVOLUTED EXPLANATION THAT AMOUNTED TO THE ASSERTION THAT THE SYMPTOMS I AM EXPERIENCING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. THE VERY SAME ISSUES THAT ALERTED ME TO A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND A VERY DANGEROUS ONE AT THAT WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN MY ACURA RDX WHICH THE DEALER IS INSINUATING THAT ANY REPAIRS DONE WILL BE AT MY EXPENSE. IN MY OPINION THIS IS NOT RIGHT NOR FAIR AND THE ISSUE REMAINS UNRESOLVED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN CALLING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP REGULARLY SINCE I RECEIVED THE RECALL IN MARCH 2016. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER AND THEY STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS WAY BEYOND THE "REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME" OF 60 DAYS. I AM BEYOND UPSET ABOUT THIS AS THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTER. I WAS TOLD INITIALLY BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT A RENTAL REALLY WASN'T NECESSARY DESPITE CONTINUED WARNINGS. WHAT IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO GET THIS RECALL REMEDIED??
