Vehicle experienced intermittent starting hesitation, took to Acura dealer, dealer diagnosed low pressure from fuel pump (40 psi vs. 55 psi spec). Had to replace fuel pump, and paid full cost out of pocket. Appears Acura fuel pump issue is for years prior to 2019, and recall should be expanded in scope, as my Acura Rdx is a 2015 and also had a faulty fuel pump. I am the original vehicle owner and maintain my vehicle quite well.

The vehicle stalls out (limp mode) when accelerating past 60 mph. It will not go above 3000 rpms. Once that happens, it is difficult to accelerate at all, even at very low speeds. I can press the pedal to the floor and nothing happens. The vehicle shakes considerably when idle.

My car would not start one morning. I could not get it out of "accessory mode" and that mode drained the battery completely. I also smelled fuel when I tried to have it jump started and it ran for 10 seconds then died. I had it towed to an Acura dealer to have it fixed and they called to tell me that the plastic fuel line on the underside of the car had "microcracks" along its entirety and was leaking fuel out of these cracks. They said that the fuel line was not damaged in a discrete location (I.e. from a rock or object that hit it but the entire plastic line spanning the front of the car to the rear of the car had cracks all over it). I asked for the fuel line for evidence and they claimed they threw it out.
