2015 Acura RDX Fuel system Problems

“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.

My mechanic informed me of a recall for Acura RDX models 2017-2019, my car is a 2015 BUT with the exact same fuel pump! Acura won’t release the sell of said pump because it is “currently under a recall”. The recall needs to be expanded to include earlier models of this car. …”

“Re: Safety Concerns with 2015 Acura RDX Engine. My vehicle has experienced multiple serious engine failures beginning December 8, 2023, when it suddenly lost power while driving with a flashing check engine light. Despite multiple repair attempts by McDaniel's Acura dealership (timing belt replacement, spark plugs, front cylinder head replacement, pulley replacements), the issues have persisted and worsened.
