What owners report
This is a follow-up to my earlier complaint about the same vehicle, a 2023 Acura RDX A-Spec Advance. In August 2026 the vehicle was stolen from a public street after offenders broke through the exterior driverâs door handle, reached the wiring behind it, and lowered the window to get inside. On Oct 15th, offenders attacked the same driverâs door handle on the same vehicle in what appears to be a second attempt using the same method.

The method used to steal the vehicle exploited what appears to be a design vulnerability in the driver's door: the offender(s) forcibly broke/punched through the exterior door handle assembly to gain direct physical access to the internal door wiring harness located behind it.
