| We purchases a 2010 acura rdx. my wife noted the fuel indicator stated she had 20 miles left before empty. before she could exit for gas (within 5 miles the vehicle ran out of gas). she was on a freeway in a very dangerous area at rush hour. the police brought in back up and set flares, then ordered the car to be towed due to the danger to my wife and the officers responding. we alerted our salesman at acura. he stated this was the 4th complaint he personally received about running out of gas due to a faulty calibration on the fuel indicator. i believe this issue has the potential to result in injuries if not deaths. in my opinion, a warning letter should be issued by acura. *tr | |||
| SEAT BELTS | |||
| 11/06/2011 | |||
| Was sitting at a top light and car hit me from behind. my seat belt didn't stop me and hit my head and arm on the steering wheel. it did stop the passenger. filed a complaint with acura and they said the seat belt worked as designed. i am 5'10 so i do not sit close to the steering wheel. if the seat belt would have stopped me, i would have not slammed my head on the steering wheel and gotten a head injury. | |||

| I just walked away from buying a 2010 or 11 acura rdx, and may do the same w/ other new cars. in this new model, my neck was pushed forward so far, that i got a terrible headache and neck pain w/in a 20 min test of this car. if they are all like this, i'll keep my old car. there really should be adjustments depending on size and height. too bad, i really like the auto. some things are just going over the top. | |||
