STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT THE CAR FEELS LIKE THE BACKEND IS COMING AROUND TO THE FRONT OF CAR, THEN I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHILE TIGHT BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE I'M GONNA LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR THEN IT'LL STRAIGHTEN BACK UP. I CAN BE DRIVING ON THE STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY THE SAME THING. AND SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR IT HAS HAD A ROARING NOISE IN THE REAR END AND I HAVE BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND EVERY SHOP I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THEY SAY IT'S THE TIRES BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT SO.

STEERING
PAWS REAR WHEEL STEERING ABRUPTLY TURNS REAR WHEELS WHEN CAR IS GOING STRAIGHT. USUALLY AFTER A TURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEEDS OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO. DEALER UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BUT INSTALLED NEW STEERING SOFTWARE THAT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ONLY DEALER SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE REAR STEERING ACTUATORS FOR APPROX. $4K BUT CAN'T BE SURE THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND CONSUMERS ARE NOT BEING TREATED FAIRLY BY ACURA. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IF UNSTABLE ABRUPT STEERING OF THE REAR WHEELS WERE TO OCCUR AT HIGH SPEED IN TRAFFIC OR ALONG WINDING 2 LANE ROADS, SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
A MOANING OR RUBBING NOISE IS HEARD FROM THE REAR WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AND MAKIN SMALL SIDE-TO-SIDE TURNING MOVEMENTS AND WHEN YOU MAKE A SMALL TURN IT FISH TAIL SO U HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND LET THE WHEELS CATCH UP. WITH THE REAR P-AWS ACTUATORS. I FELL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR 2015 ACURA RLX. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JACKSON MS AND THEY SAY THE ACTUATORS IS BAD. THEY TOLD ME THAT EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. HOW CAN I GET THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX MY CAR. HOW CAN I SEND YOU MY COPY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN, MY WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL GET OUT OF SYNC AND THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO TEMPORARILY BECOME HARD TO STEER. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND TO NORMAL STEERING GESTURES. IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS GOING TO VEER OUT OF THE LANE AND IT DOESN'T RESPOND FOR ME TO CORRECT IT FROM VEERING OFF UNLESS I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY TOWARDS THE LEFT HAND TRAFFIC WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL AND VERY SCARY. WHEN TO CORRECT ITSELF, THE CAR JERKS ITSELF AS THE STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES RE-ALLIGN THEMSELVES. THIS MAKES THE CAR SWERVE TOWARDS THE OTHER LANE AND I THEN HAVE TO VIOLENTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE OPPOSITE WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. JUST SEEM TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN I MAKE LEFT TURNS. THE DEEPER THE LEFT TURN THE MORE NOTICEABLE IT IS. I HAVE NOT SEEM TO NOTICE IT WHEN I MAKE RIGHT TURNS. THIS SEEMS TO BE WEARING OUT THE TREAD ON THE LEFT REAR TIRE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING, THE ALL-WHEEL STEERING OR COMPUTER CALCULATIONS. I'M GOING TO TAKE IT TO YOU LOOKED AT THIS WEEK. THIS JUST BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE THIS PAST WEEK. PRIORITY IS I ASSUMED THAT THERE WERE SOME IMPERFECTIONS ON THE STREET THAT CAUSES THIS LIKE A SMALL SINKHOLE OR AN UNEVEN SECTION OF THE ROAD. I'VE OWNED TWO TLS, AND I OWN A RL AND THIS RLX, AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

STEERING
THE 2014 ACURA RLX INTRODUCED ACURA'S NEW PAWS SYSTEM (PRECISION ALL WHEEL STEERING). THE REAR WHEELS TURN SLIGHTLY IN THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR AND ARE CONTROLLED BY THE VEHICLE NOT THE DRIVER (DRIVER CONTROLS ONLY THE STANDARD FRONT WHEEL STEERING). THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY SOUNDS LIKE AN UPGRADE IN THEORY AND MAY EVEN BE IN CASES AT HIGH SPEEDS WITH THE REAR WHEELS TURNING EVER SO SLIGHTLY. HOWEVER, I HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE IT FEELS LIKE I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FROM MY DRIVER'S SEAT. WHILE IN MOTION, IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMPLETING A TURN, THE REAR WHEELS APPEAR TO BE LATE IN CORRECTING BACK TO THE CAR'S NEW DIRECTION (APPROX. 2-3 SECONDS LATE). THIS RESULTS IN A FEELING OF "FISHTAILING". I CAN FEEL THE BACK END OF THE CAR PULLING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND MY NATURAL INSTINCT IS TYPICALLY AN OVERCORRECT. MY BEST EXAMPLE WOULD BE A ROUNDABOUT TURN. THE REAR WHEELS ATTEMPT TO STAY IN THE CIRCULAR TURN EVEN WHEN YOU EXIT THE ROUNDABOUT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. THE PROBLEM IS THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE IS PULLING TOWARDS THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS FEELING IN AN "S" CURVE AND A U-TURN. WHAT PROMPTED ME TO FINALLY SPEAK UP ABOUT THIS IS IN MY MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE IT WAS RAINING. THE WET ROAD MADE THE REAR END OF THE CAR FEEL LIKE IT WAS SLIDING OUT OF MY CONTROL. THERE IS A LOCAL RATHER LARGE ROUNDABOUT WITH 4 LANES AND HIGHER THAN USUAL SPEEDS FOR A ROUNDABOUT. IN THESE INSTANCES, THE REAR WHEEL STEERING SHOULD BE DISABLED FOR SAFETY REASONS.

WHEN TURNING A CORNER, THE PAWS ENGAGES, AND KEEPS TURNING EVEN WHEN I TRY TO STEER AWAY..IT HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY DOING THIS..TODAY, IT DID IT HORRIBLY, SCARING ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO FISH TAILS HORRIBLY WHILE TURNING TIGHT CORNERS.. I AM AFRAID I'M GOING TO GO OFF OF THE ROAD, OR HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

STEERING
SIMILAR TO OTHER REPORTS. FIRST, WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS UP A HILL OUT OF MY HOUSE, I STARTED TO HEAR A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION ON A REGULAR BASIS. I WAS TOLD BAD TIRES, I TOOK IT TO GET ALIGNED. I CHANGED TIRES AND HAD THE CAR ALIGNED. STILL HAD THE SOUND. I DONT HEAR IT AS MUCH, BUT DO STILL GET IT FROM TIME TO TIME. MOST RECENTLY, ALMOST A DOZEN TIMES I WOULD FEEL LIKE MY CAR WOULD ACCELERATE AND SLIDE IN THE BACK END AND QUICKLY CORRECT ITSELF. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS ON A METAL GRATE AND SLIPPED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT CORRECTS ITSELF. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM AT A SLOW SPEED AND MAKING A TURN AND ACCELERATING. IT HAPPENS BOTH WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR A LEFT TURN. ITS QUICK AND VERY STARTLING. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH PAWS. LESS THAN 50K. LOOKS LIKE OTHER DRIVERS ARE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE..BOTH WITH NOISE AND THE SLIPPING. ACURA HAS PLACED SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE ACTUATORS REGARDING THE NOISE BUT NOTHING REGARDING THE ISSUE WITH THE PAWS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP, BUT BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE, THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE AND FIX.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING EVER I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE CAR WITH MY SON WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED DECELERATING WHAT A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO HAPPEN . I PURCHASED THE CAR 94 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS INCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO THE ACURA DEALER WHICH THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE RECALL FOR FRONT COLLISION WARNING LIGHT THAT COMES ON WAS NOT DONE EVER ON THIS CAR . THE INFORMATION EMAILED TO ME FROM THE GENTLEMAN I SPOKE WITH ON THE PHONE DOES NOT SHOW THE WORK DONE I'M VERY ANGRY AND FEEL LIKE MY LIFE COULD'VE BEEN ENDED ALL BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED

STEERING
PAWS REAR WHEEL STEERING STICKING CAUSING SUDDEN CORRECTION TO REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. AFTER TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT FROM A FULL STOP SUDDEN CORRECTION FEELS LIKE REAR OF CAR IS FALLING OUT, DRIVER MAY RESPOND WITH AN OVER CORRECTION PLACING EVERYONE IN DANGER. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH, DEALER SEEMS CONCERNED BUT BRING MONEY. CONTACTED ACURA AMERICA, THEY DENY ANY KNOWLEDGE, WILL TAKE MY REPORT WITHOUT ANY FOLLOW UP. ACTUATORS FOR PAWS SYSTEM WERE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 9000 MILES BECAUSE OF NOISE, DIDN'T HELP, ACURA SHOULD STEP UP. OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO NHTSA.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2014 THE FIRST WEEK I DETECTED A NOISE ON THE REAR OF THE CAR, I WENT TO THE ACURA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY FOUND PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUATORS, THEY RECEIVED THE VISIT FROM AN USA SERVICE CENTER TECHNICIAN AND CONFIRMING A MALFUNCTION ACTUATOR THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL WORK ON A NEW DESIGN. APPARENTLY, THEY DID AND SINCE THEM THEY HAVE REPLACE THE ACTUATORS IN 4 OCCASIONS. LATELY WHEN I DO AN 'U' TURN THE CAR WHEELS CONTINUES FACING THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN FOR OVER 200 METERS, THEN THE CAR SLIPS ABRUPTLY FROM THE BACK TO TRY TO ALIGN THE WHEELS/CAR. THIS REPRESENT A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN SINCE YOU LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND CAN CREATE A COLLISION IF YOU ARE NOT ALERT AND PREPARE TO RESPONSE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE STRAIT AT LOW SPEEDS, I STARTED TO HEAR MOANING OR RUBBING NOISES FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION ON A REGULAR BASIS. A FEW TIMES, I WOULD FEEL LIKE MY CAR WOULD SLIDE IN THE BACK END AND QUICKLY CORRECT ITSELF. ON A PARTICULAR TIME ON A LOCAL CITY STREET TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 30MPH, MY VEHICLE'S REAR STARTED TO DRIVE SIDEWAYS TAKING MY CAR TOWARDS A DITCH ALONG THE ROAD. AFTER 2-3 SECONDS, THE CAR CORRECTED ITSELF. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PRECISION-ALL WHEEL STEER SYSTEM (PAWS) NEW FOR THE 2014 YEAR MODEL RLX. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS THROUGH THE INTERNET, I LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS WERE HEARING THE SAME NOISES AND FEELING THE SAME LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ONE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE THAT WAS AIMED AT SOME LOOSE REAR SUSPENSION BOLTS BELIEVED TO BE CAUSING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS. THE OTHER HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO REAR TOE ACTUATORS IN THE PAWS SYSTEM. ACURA HAS PLACED SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE ACTUATORS BUT IS NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE FLAWS OF THE PAWS SYSTEM AND DEFECTIVE PARTS. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL REPEAT THE SAME UNSAFE ACTION AND FEEL THAT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE OR SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT FROM AN ACCIDENT. WE ARE TRYING TO ALSO ADDRESS THIS WITH ACURA AND ARE AWAITING A RESPONSE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET AND THEY MIGHT NOT BE AWARE TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH 69,0000 MILES. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR HAS BEEN DAMAGED 3 TIMES BY RODENTS CHEWING ON WIRING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE. FORTUNATELY, THE BREAKDOWNS HAVE OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED, AND NOT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. BUT, YOU ONLY NEED TO DO A SEARCH OF THE 'NET TO FIND REPORTS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD BREAKDOWNS WHILE DRIVING, AND EVEN FIRES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM IS THAT MANUFACTURING OF WIRING IS NOW USING "ECO-FRIENDLY" LUBRICANTS BASED ON SOY OR PEANUTS. THIS CREATES AN "ATTRACTIVE NUISANCE" FOR RODENTS TO CHEW ON THE WIRING, THINKING IT MAY CONCEAL FOOD. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PICTURE I ATTACHED, THE WIRING HAD BEEN WRAPPED WITH A GREY "ANTI-RODENT" TAPE (WHICH CONTAINS CAPSAICIN) THE SECOND TIME IT WAS REPAIRED. BUT, I DON'T THINK IT WAS COMPLETELY WRAPPED ALL THE WAY TO THE CONNECTOR, AND ONLY A SMALL PART WAS LEFT EXPOSED. THIS TAPE IS AN ACTUAL HONDA PART THAT CAN BE ORDERED BY THEIR SERVICE DEPT. SO, HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THREE MEN FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST AMERICAN HONDA IN 2016. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS BY HONDA TO DISMISS IT, THE PLAINTIFFS FILED A MOTION TO CERTIFY THE LAWSUIT AS A CLASS ACTION. WITHIN WEEKS, THE LAWSUIT WAS WITHDRAWN WITHOUT PREJUDICE BY THE PLAINTIFFS, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE HONDA SETTLED. THIS METHOD OF MANUFACTURE IS IMPOSING SIGNIFICANT COSTS ON CONSUMERS TO REMEDY THE RESULTING PROBLEM, INCLUDING HIGHER INSURANCE PREMIUMS. I'M ACTUALLY NOT FILING A CLAIM ON MY LATEST DAMAGE, BECAUSE MY INSURANCE COMPANY CAN CANCEL MY INSURANCE IF I HAVE MORE THAN ONE CLAIM IN A YEAR DUE TO ANIMAL DAMAGE. I AM NOT ASKING FOR A RECALL. BUT, SOME REGULATION IS NEEDED TO BAN AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS FROM USING FOOD-DERIVED LUBRICANTS IN MANUFACTURING, FOR SAFETY REASONS.
