Drove vehicle home during daylight. At nite the low-beam lights are useless high-beam needed to be able to see. Carfax was unaware of a "safety recall" for this problem. I found numerous complaints about this on the web. There needs to be a "recall" to get this corrected. Should be addressed by mfg and not consumer.

An electrical keyless part in the vehicle drains the battery causing it to stall wherever or whenever you are on the road. It has been confirmed by the dealer(Courtesy Acura) that the vehicle needs a new part that they are unable to manufacture in a timely manner. It has been almost a year since the incident, and Honda is still not supporting a product that was faulty the day the car rolled off the assembly line. I was told by a representative of Honda that my car, 2015 Acura RDX, is the only vehicle with that VIN number to have this problem, and I know that not to be true.

The Keyless Entry TPMS controller in the car, part #38320-TX4-Ao1 malfunctions, and the care does not turn itself off. The engine normally stops, but electrical systems continue operating and the car will drain its battery with a few hours. This is not an isolated occurance, while dealership personnel have not given firm #s, I beleive this may be effecting as high as 20% of the vehicles with this part. We have had a replacement part on back order since August 30th of 2023, today the dealship told me we are elevated to Urgent Backorder with not estimated fulfillment. On service tech told me the issue is that Acura suspended manufacture of the part as they try to solve this issue.

I've had the vehicle since around 44 k, Purchase and shortly months later technology lighting a battery issues, someone started hacking me saying they were a car warranty services, harassment in cybersecurity daily I've had over 6-8 electrical light replacements, 2-3 battery replacements, 3 alternator replacements, hacking is daily asking me to pay brides of $1000 which I have never participated in, someone talks the entire time stating they are getting my information, hacked my plates, tries to control the vehicle and using cyber security. Department of justice suggested to go to acura dealer for cyber ecu reset, inquired car about the car someone hacked the car saying they are trying to steal social security benefits, and preventing employment and want to impact finances. Car was hacked and shut down had triple AAA come out to look at the vehicle which was not working was informed it was the communicator of the body throttle but would need to have dealer process and program because of computer communication to release and preform gas pedal and power train. Picture video proving the noise and item car unable to lock some one broke into the vehicle and impacted the timing belt and etc. I have documents to support but want to be cautious of hackers and would be willing to share directly for safety pre-cautions

After driving on the interstate and then slowing down, a check vsa system, check hill start assist system, and check power steering light comes on the dash. Sometimes after a restart the light doesn't come on. Sometimes it takes multiple drives and restarts to clear the light.

Something is draining the battery, keep having to jumpstart it and stalls sometimes when driving. Battery pass as good. I did research on it and a lot of complaints about it.
