2008 Acura Rdx

Acura rdx Acura says that the filter in the transmission is none serviceable but now my car is in a shop to replace the converter and they said the filter should be replaced which is why the torque converter went bad in the first place but they say it’s not to be serviced and now the shop would have to split the transmission to replace this filter which I can’t do being it would cost more then I paid for the car I think it’s definitely a safety issue if it locks the transmission up on the road I think something should be done about this filter issue which the shop said they put it inside the transmission for a reason so you’d have to spend money thanks

THE SRS WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. WE HAD THE 2 RECALLS 2016 & 2019 DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG REPAIRED AT ACURA OF DAYTON IN OCTOBER 2019, AND THEY RESET THE WARNING LIGHT. IT CAME BACK ON WITHIN A FEW DAYS. THE CODE IS 31-21 INCREASED RESISTANCE L/S AIRBAG INFLATOR. I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE RECALL THESE, AS I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS.

THE TURBO ON MY 2008 ACURA RDX HAS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN THAT THE WASTE GATE ACTUATOR HAS A CONNECTION POINT THAT WITH OPERATING TIME BECOMES OBLONG AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE WASTE GATE TO OPEN AND CLOSE TOTALLY EFFECTING PERFORMANCE AND EVENTUALLY CRACKS AND BREAKS MAKING THE CAR GO INTO AN EMISSIONS FAULT MODE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO ONE ACURA DEALERSHIP AND TWO ENGINE TURBO SHOPS TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO ALL THREE. DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO ESTIMATED THE REPAIR AT SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE ACTUATOR ARM ATTACHMENT POINT IS OBVIOUSLY MADE OF A SOFT METAL TO CAUSE IT TO WEAR OUT INTO AN OBLONG SHAPE FROM A ROUND BOLT HOLE UNDER NORMAL USAGE. ALL MECHANICS CONSULTED WERE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND ONE EVEN SHOWED US A YOUTUBE VIDEO SHOWING US THE PROBLEM UP CLOSE AND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AND HOW IT WAS RECTIFIED. WHOEVER MADE THE ACTUATOR FOR ACURA SOLD THEM A DEFECTIVE PART FOR IT TO BE SO COMMON.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE TWO CONFLICTING REPORTS FROM NHTSA. ONE STATES A RECALL DATE OF 2/03/2016 (16V061000) ON THE AIRBAGS AND THE SECOND REPORT STATES THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS. WHICH IS CORRECT?? ALSO: EQUIPMENT LABEL RECALL #07V358000 RECALL DATE 8/13/2007

TAKATA RECALL MY 2008 ACURA RDX WAS A PART OF THE TAKATA AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL AND WAS APPARENTLY REPAIRED ON JANUARY 20TH OF 2017. HOWEVER, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2008 ACURA RDX ON 7/27/2018 WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AS I STARTED THE VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP IN WEXFORD, PA ON 8/4/18, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS OPEN CAUSING THE SRS SYSTEM TO DEFAULT (CODE #32-21). MEANING THAT MY AIRBAG SAFETY SYSTEM WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, DUE TO THE FAULTY AIRBAG INFLATOR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, AND I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE RESOLVED BY A FOLLOW UP RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATORS FOR ALL CARS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL. TO MY UNDERSTANDING, WHEN MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS REPLACED/REPAIRED BACK IN 2017, THEY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR AS WELL. SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT I CAN GET THIS FAULTY SYSTEM REPLACED THROUGH A RECALL OF BOTH AIRBAG INFLATORS FOR THE 2008 ACURA RDX (BOTH MEANING: DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG INFLATORS). PLEASE SEE ATTACHED INVOICE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TAKATA RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY COMPLETED,BY DEALER AWHILE AGO. NOW GETTING A 'CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM' MESSAGE AND 'SIDE AIRBAG OFF. UNDERSTAND THERE ARE A FAIR NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS RE THIS AND WONDERING IF SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE ON A BLOG SAID THEIR HONDA ELEMENT SIMILAR ISSUE WAS COVERED BECAUSE SAFETY ISSUE. AS IT IS ABOUT $1000 REPAIR HOPING YOU CAN TELL ME IT SHOULD BE COVERED.
