Acura RDX air conditioning failure after multiple dealer attempts and complete replacement on Acura RDX

Problem overview

Some Acura RDX owners report experiencing persistent air conditioning issues even after multiple dealer attempts and complete system replacements. These problems may stem from inadequate refrigerant levels or leaks in the system, which can lead to malfunctioning AC. Additionally, some owners find that damage or contamination in the condenser and evaporator affects cooling performance. A dirty cabin air filter is another common concern, as it can obstruct airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. Electrical issues, such as switch failures, blown fuses, or damaged components at the AC compressor, may also contribute to air conditioning problems. For those facing ongoing issues, seeking a second opinion from a different dealership or an independent HVAC specialist is often recommended. Furthermore, staying informed about any manufacturer recalls or technical service bulletins related to air conditioning in Acura RDX models can help address known issues effectively.
