VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT STARTING HESITATION, TOOK TO ACURA DEALER, DEALER DIAGNOSED LOW PRESSURE FROM FUEL PUMP (40 PSI VS. 55 PSI SPEC). HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP, AND PAID FULL COST OUT OF POCKET.

I AM THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE OWNER AND MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE QUITE WELL.

Re: Safety Concerns with 2015 Acura RDX Engine.

Despite multiple repair attempts by McDaniel's Acura dealership (timing belt replacement, spark plugs, front cylinder head replacement, pulley replacements), the issues have persisted and worsened. Technicians found oil in cylinders 1&3, metal debris in the oil filter, and diagnosed the engine as failing in May 2024. Current symptoms …

GAS MILES IS TERRIBLE SOMETIMES I GET 0-7 AVERAGE GAS MILES WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOW AND FAST ON FREEWAY AFTER RESETING MILES PER GALLON. I USE PREMIUM GAS AND I LET ACURA AWARE OF PROBLEMS. I FILLED MY GAS TANK UP AGAIN AND IT CONTINUES TO GET POOR GAS MILES.
