In the owners’ words

“The rear glass shattered suddenly when the car was parked. Acura issued a TSB 22-014, but my model is not listed in the TSB.”NHTSA complaint, 2022 Acura RDX owner
“while on vacation, upon entering the parked vehicle, the rear hatch window spontaneously shattered. No local place was open (Sunday) and the wait for a new window was days out so I had to drive two hours home with a makeshift windshield made from a tarp and duct tape. This is an obvious hazard as I could not see out the back window. Replacement window to be installed in the coming days. No warnings indicated.”NHTSA complaint, 2022 Acura RDX owner
“Automatic braking system came on when the vehicle sensed another vehicle. As the breaking system turned on, the steering wheel locked and did not allow for the driver to steer in order to not avoid a collision. This happened in the streets. It is currently under investigation with insurance. The vehicle had applied the emergency breaks system a few days before, in the highway, while the driver already had the foot on”NHTSA complaint, 2022 Acura RDX owner
