Acura RDX problems, by model year and system
1,188 complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the Acura RDX 2016–2026, and the 2 systems the record is deep on — visibility and wiper (246), engine (201).

Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).

Visibility and wiper: 246 complaints across 11 model years, 21% of everything owners filed about the Acura RDX. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which Acura RDX year has the most complaints?
2019 (438), 2020 (346), 2021 (113). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
