we have a 2-month old 2020 acura rdx. we purchased the car on october 21st, 2019. it has approximately 1,500 miles on it at this time. we were traveling southbound at approximately 45 miles per hour. we were on a 4-lane road. as we approached a railroad crossing, our car came to an abrupt and forceful halt in the middle of the street. the railroad tracks are not rough and we had not applied the brakes at all. the lights were not flashing and there are no gates at this railroad crossing. we were shocked as this was completely unexpected. we are worried that should this happen when we're driving in snow or rain, we may lose control of the vehicle. also, if this should happen when we're being followed by another car, it will certainly result in an accident. we have photographic evidence and also a dash-camera video of the incident available upon request.
Brakes were making a scraping noise when applied. vehicle had 2,679 miles. took it to fountain acura in orlando for inspection. dealer replaced pads and rotors on front no charge. dealer also stated that there was a possible material defect at the factory.
Brakes make a continuous high pitch squeal noise when engaged for approximately 2 miles every time i start driving my car regardless of weather. sterling acura replaced the brakes and rotors but the issue remained. honda says they are aware of the issue but do not know what is causing it. they reassured me this is not a safety issue while telling me they do not know what is causing it or how to fix it. i feel unsafe driving my brand new 2020 acura rdx aspec.
