1 Brake Grinding Noise problem of the 2020 Acura RDX

Failure Date: 04/14/2020

I bought a brand new 2020 Acura Rdx. After a few months, at 1210 miles I started hearing a squealing, grinding noise while applying the brakes under moderate use . The brakes have been serviced or repaired 5 times at two different Acura service centers. The noise seems to go away for a bit but always comes back. Acura corporate has advised for these makes and models that came off the production line at a certain time all have this same issue. They are supposedly working on a service bulletin to fix it. They claim the noise is not an indication of any safety concern. My new premium vehicle is sitting in the driveway as I have concerns driving it due to continual breaking noises. Acura was well aware of these issues and continued to sell the vehicles to consumers.

3 Brake Grinding Noise problem of the 2016 Acura RDX

Failure Date: 06/18/2016

June 18, 2016, I had a service appointment for a road trip special. I was going on a road trip a few days later. I advised jay my steering wheel is shaking a little when breaking from higher speeds. When I got my car back, jay stated they replaced the front rotors and pads. About 2 weeks later, I began hearing a noise sounded like a little grind. Kept driving didn¿t hear it again. As I went about my day, time and time again I would hear this small grind. Some days would go by and I would hear nothing, then suddenly as I am driving I would hear it again. I have taken the car back and advised I am hearing what appears to be a grinding noise. In July I told them I was going on a road trip and wanted my brakes checked because I am still hearing this noise. When I picked up my car they did not hear anything. I told them if I hear any noises on my trip I was going to be pissed. My brakes were grinding while I was on my trip. I called the dealership left jay a voicemail he did not return my call. I didn¿t think then to record it. I made a service appointment for Aug 2, nothing came of it. I took the car in, took the tech on a ride and of course could not get the car to make the grinding noise. As a result, jay told me, mrs. Hatter, we already changed the pads and rotors, if we cannot hear the noise we cannot fix it, when it makes the noise to bring it back. I was pissed. Not satisfied, I contacted the service department again spoke to the service manager adam, he offered that he would take my car and drive it to see if he could hear the noise. Aug 10 he stated he did not hear the noise. I told him there is clearly a problem, and someone needs to address it, take the car apart and look at the breaking mechanism. He told me that they cannot just throw parts on the car hoping it would fix the problem, they need to hear the noise in order to fix it.

4 Brake Grinding Noise problem of the 2007 Acura RDX

Failure Date: 02/25/2010

The front brakes on my 2007 Acura Rdx make a loud grinding noise when applied on a slight downgrade or when stopping slightly harder than normal. The brakes have been replaced twice by the dealer and the problem continues. The dealership now states that Acura is aware and has no fix for the problem. The brakes feel like they are grabbing onto the rotor. The sound is similar to metal to metal grinding.

5 Brake Grinding Noise problem of the 2008 Acura RDX

Failure Date: 09/11/2009

The front brakes on my 2008 Acura Rdx make a loud grinding noise when applied on a slight downgrade or when stopping slightly harder than normal. I experienced w/ original brakes, repeated visits to dealer heard & found nothing. At time of brake replacement, brakes were fine, noise started again about 15k miles into the new brakes. Took to dealer on sat they again find nothing report pads/rotors normal. The dealership now states that Acura is aware and has no fix for the problem. The brakes feel like they are grabbing onto the rotor. Feel mushy, rubbing and slow to stop. The sound is similar to metal to metal grinding. Had a loaner and brakes were 1000% more stable.
