Problems with 2014 Acura RLX SUSPENSION

While driving my vehicle strait at low speeds, i started to hear moaning or rubbing noises from the rear suspension on a regular basis. a few times, i would feel like my car would slide in the back end and quickly correct itself. on a particular time on a local city street traveling straight at about 30mph, my vehicle's rear started to drive sideways taking my car towards a ditch along the road. after 2-3 seconds, the car corrected itself. the vehicle is equipped with a precision-all wheel steer system (paws) new for the 2014 year model rlx. after investigating this through the internet, i learned that many other drivers were hearing the same noises and feeling the same loss of control of the vehicle. there is one recall on this vehicle that was aimed at some loose rear suspension bolts believed to be causing some of the problems. the other has been attributed to rear toe actuators in the paws system. acura has placed service bulletins for the actuators but is not taking ownership of the flaws of the paws system and defective parts. we have no idea when the vehicle will repeat the same unsafe action and feel that it is a matter of time before we or someone else gets hurt from an accident. we are trying to also address this with acura and are awaiting a response. there are numerous complaints by other owners on the internet and they might not be aware to file a complaint with nhtsa. this vehicle is only 4 years old with 69,0000 miles. please help with this issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 acura rlx. while driving various speeds, the rear end of the vehicle drifted on its own without warning. the contact briefly lost control of the vehicle before it resumed normal operation. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnsoed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

While driving and turning left or right the car feels like the backend is coming around to the front of car, then i have to hold the steering while tight because it feels like i'm gonna loose control of the car then it'll straighten back up. i can be driving on the streets or on the highway the same thing. and since i've had the car it has had a roaring noise in the rear end and i have bought new tires and every shop i have taken it to they say it's the tires but i know that's not so.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 acura rlx. the contact stated that while driving 50 mph and decelerating, the vehicle veered to the left. upon coming to a complete stop, the passenger rear tire detached from the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the rear control arm bolt fractured and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that would be sending out an engineer to evaluate the work done under nhtsa campaign number 13v622000 (suspension). the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileage was 5,100....updated 06/04/2014 *bf updated 06/06/2014 *js

Since taking delivery of the car, it has made loud clunking and rattling noises and vibration from all four wheels, particularly noticeable while driving at slower speeds (15-45 mph). the dealer made an attempt to fix this by replacing the dampers on all four struts at the direction of acura. this did not correct the problem. since then, the dealer has been awaiting direction from acura as to how to repair this defect. during an arbitration hearing, acura informed the arbitrator and me that all 2014 rlxs have this defect. they said redesigned parts are being tested now. as of 7/15/14 no further report has been received regarding the results of this testing, and neither acura nor the dealer has contacted me to advise what corrective action(s) will be taken and when. *tr

Car has numerous rattles and has had a recall for rear suspension bolts. rattle problem has not been solved over 5 attempts. both front strut assemblies have been replaced and still rattles. i have read there are issues with bolts coming loose and tie rods shearing from the vehicle causing the wheel(s) to come off. have told the manufacturer on numerous occasions but they insist there is no safety issue with vehicle. i do not drive car on highways as i am afraid that all this rattling will loosen these bolts an accident just waiting to happen. *tr

I was driving down the freeway when the back-end of the car became very loose and out of control. the car was swerving back and forth violently. i was able to gain control avoiding the cars to the left of me and the ditch to the right. i was able to get the car under control and i slowed the speed way down. i pulled off the highway and into a driveway to inspect. i found the passenger rear tire tilted inwards towards the car at about a 20 degree angle and found the tie rod that connects the car to the new all wheel steering device disconnected and laying on the ground. the bolt either came out or sheered off. the car was towed to the dealer and inspected. they told me it was a defect and repaired it under warranty. acura client care received the photos and a description from the dealer. i was informed the bolt probably vibrated loose. updated 10/22/13*lj updated 10/23/2013 *js *tr
