Between seeing them in our own shop and reports from customers, here are some of the most common problems we’ve experienced with the Acura RDX and its drivers.

"I Always have a great experience with Holland. Brought two cars for service recently. They were friendly, experienced and most importantly, did quality work. Blake was great to work with."

"I have been going to Holland Auto for many years - and four different cars. We have been treated very well at Holland and recommend them to all friends that have German cars."

"I received very kind and professional service when I brought a car in for a buyers inspection. I definitely recommend Holland Car Care to everyone."

"Holland Car Care has been my go to service provider for the past couple years. They always do an excellent job, are very honest and transparent, and are able to get the work done in a timely manner. I have done thorough diligence on auto-repair shops in the San Mateo area, and Holland Car Care is at the top of my list!"

"Went in with check engine light at 9 am. Diagnosed and repaired by 2pm and $100 less than expected because they said that they didn’t need a particular part. Fast and very honest service. Have been going here for 15 years with 2 different BMWs without any issues!"

"As always, Holland did a wonderful job. Scheduling an appointment was easy and convenient. I trust Holland with my car and the costs have been very competitive. The work was completed earlier than promised and when I picked it up, it had been washed. David is efficient and kind and makes the whole process a positive experience."

"Always great - prompt, helpful and don’t unnecessarily suggest extra work just because we don’t know any better. Highly recommend."

Oil Leaks

There is a difference between burning oil and leaking oil. In the case of the Acura RDX, an oil leak can readily occur if the oil pressure sensor comes out of place. What is now a drip can gradually become worse until either an oil light comes on or you notice the oil level dip when you check it.

Thankful, oil leaks are relatively easy to find and fix. In this case, replacing and reseating the oil pressure sensor will help. Come to Holland Car Care and we’ll make sure the oil stays in your RDX.


Limp Mode

The problem of the RDX entering limp mode – where it can’t travel as fast as expected, has come up and the issue is big enough to result in a Technical Service Bulletin from Acura. Some owners have reported their vehicle has simply lost power and dropped in speed unexpectedly, though an engine light did come on.

Many also reported pulling over and restarting fixed the problem at least temporarily. Holland Car Care can look at this issue to prevent your vehicle from having mechanical or electrical issues at a bad time.


Squeaky Breaks

While squeaky breaks don’t necessarily affect the performance of the RDX, the sound can be downright annoying and even embarrassing. Acura recently recognized the RDX as having issues with the original brake pads installed and can replace brakes which are making excessive noise. Come to Holland Car Care and we can take care of this for you.


Headlights

Some drivers report issues with being able to see well at night as the halogen headlights on the RDX fade over time, though they do work. The issue applies primarily to lower trims of the RDX as the higher trims use HID or Xenon bulbs which maintain brightness over a longer period of time. There may be a potential electrical delivery issue here because drivers also noted replacement doesn’t help completely in the long term. If your RDX headlights seem dim, bring your vehicle to us as Holland Car Care Care and we’ll investigate.


Conclusion

At Holland Car Care, we enjoy working on many kinds of vehicles but have a special love for the RDX for its performance handling, and comfort. We have worked on many of them and know the ins and outs of the vehicle and can educate you even more about the vehicle when you come in for routine maintenance and repairs. We look forward to working with you and your vehicle in the future.
