Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2021 Acura RDX transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Acura RDX transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your RDX isn’t working at all.

2021 Acura RDX Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Acura's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Acura tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your RDX towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my RDX's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Acura RDX transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Acura. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Acura RDX? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Acura RDX, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who can fix my  Acura RDX transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair RDX transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Acura RDX if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your RDX if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
