1 Software problem

Failure Date: 03/17/2017

My car had 9100 on Rdx I needed to have my pads and rotor replaced on from brakes. I had problems with brakes at 5000 miles. When I pick up car I heard noice when pumping breaks when I was picking up vehicle and mechanic could not find anything wrong. I have talk to Acura customer service which were not helpful. I spoke to jim brown gm at ron tonkin. He stated he would talk to his manager of repairs and Acura rep about car. I have already had the radio and board replaced. Lane keep assist warning light come on 2 times and reset my software reset. The microphone replaced. I have had terrible case mile I have never gone above 19. 6 mpg per gas tank refill. Darrel said that is epa suggestion. My navigation keeps alarming 4 blocks away from my home. Siri does not work properly. I will tell it to call someone sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt even with new microphone. I have had the car in the shop 4 times close to 4 weeks. I have a lemon and would never tell anyone to by an Acura.

2 Software problem

Failure Date: 03/17/2016

My navigation system starts alarming 3-4 blocks from home stating I home when I am not on my street. Also systems says I am at an exit in seattle but it is incorrect. I spoke with Acura and they stated the maps are 5 years old when I bought the car I would think maps were up to date. Also my radio would erase stations that were preset and show zzzzz on stations. They needed to update software and replace computer boards and radio. Also when on a call it would drop the sound when on phone. I also have static while on phone. Acura stated that the software would correct this but it continues the error. Also the car would brake when on its own when I am a 100 ft away from the other car. They upated software on 9/27/2016.
