What owners wrote
The all-wheel drive vehicle that came with all season tires, was not designed to keep the wipers from icing up during inclement weather. The outside temperature dropped to 26 degrees, and the defrost system could not keep ice from forming on the wiper blades, causing a serious safety issue. Acura has other vehicles that have a safety system to keep ice off the wiper blades, so it is obvious their engineers are aware of the probability of ice on wiper blades.
My 2015 rdx headlights are so dim that driving it at night is a major safety hazard. I have replace my bulbs 3 times and even upgraded them to led's and the problem dtill exist. I took it to my local acura dealership and they replaced the bulbs and suggested I needed a new housing. They installed the new housing and it still isn't any better. I've spent over $1000 trying to remedy the issue. The dealership wants $2200 to replace the headlamp assemblies.
