Acura RDX Lemon Law

If your RDX has been brought to the dealer for the same engine defect multiple times and the issue remains unresolved, you likely have a strong lemon law claim under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. California law considers both the number of repair attempts and the severity of the defect. Consult with a lemon law attorney who can review your repair orders and determine eligibility.

Yes, the Song-Beverly Act can cover used vehicles if they were sold with a dealer warranty or still had remaining manufacturer warranty at the time of purchase. Certified Pre-Owned Acura RDX vehicles are typically covered because they come with an extended warranty from Acura. The key factor is whether a written warranty was in effect when the defect first appeared.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, you generally must file your claim within four years of discovering the defect, based on the statute of limitations. However, it is best to pursue your claim while the vehicle is still under the original manufacturer warranty period. Waiting too long can weaken your case, so prompt action after repeated failed repairs is strongly recommended.

California law allows you to participate in the manufacturer arbitration program, but it is entirely voluntary under the Song-Beverly Act. You are never required to go through Acura arbitration before filing a lemon law lawsuit. Many consumers find that working with an attorney and filing a civil claim produces better results than the manufacturer-run arbitration process.
