| 21300 mi | Excess vibration in the car when stopped at a light. When shifted into neutral while the engine is running the vibration is reduced significantly but is still in excess for a normal idle. Acura dealer denies that there is a problem. |
| 74000 mi | After car sat outside in extreme cold (-15 degrees F.) overnight and was driven on highway the next day, there was significant vibration from the drive train. This appears to be a routine issue with the 2013 RDX. Shop could not replicate the issue. No repair done. |

Transmission fluid change. Transfer case, differential oil change. |

| 25000 mi | Some pressure plate |
| 28000 mi | And sensor |
| 14300 mi | Significant vibration when driving at any speed, reversing, and parking. Dealer informed this is a known flaw. Acura corporate said they are working on it but it may be months before they fix it. Car rattles like a piece of junk. |
| 7300 mi | Vibration from drive train at aprox. 14-1500rpm as I back off accelerator. Seems like transmission is lagging or bogging down. Dealership replaced differential oil with no effect. They are checking with Acura. Standby. |
| 9000 mi | My complaints about vibration (shutter) from drive train at aprox. 14-1500rpm was again substantiated by the tech doing a road test. Acura Techline was contacted and instructed dealer to perform a 'Neutralization' of all mounts. |
| 24000 mi | Vibration in transmission when coasting predominately between 1300-1500 rpm. This was not the first time I had this vehicle in for the same issue. A software update was performed and the problem has improved but is not completely solved. |
