2019 ACURA RDX — Complaint #2176427
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about UNKNOWN OR OTHER filed February 13, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2176427 (ODI reference 11717718) concerns a 2019 ACURA RDX and was filed on February 13, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 29, 2025. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as unknown or other, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same ACURA RDX cohort independently describe similar unknown or other failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2019 ACURA RDX shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I discovered the rear lift gate glass of my vehicle to be shattered while parked inside of my garage. There was no known external contact that impacted the glass. There is glass remaining inside of the door itself after the glass was replaced by Acura. This is an issue that is widespread on this model vehicle.
