Acura RL
What it says about you
Opinion
The flagship almost nobody bought, quietly excellent and completely invisible. You like being the person who knows that.
Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.
9 model years on record, 213 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 1. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.
The years to look at closely: 2005 (headlights). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
Every year
- 2015 0 recalls 2 complaints
- 2012 6 recalls 1 complaints
- 2011 6 recalls 3 complaints
- 2010 7 recalls 9 complaints
- 2009 6 recalls 8 complaints
- 2008 6 recalls 13 complaints
- 2007 7 recalls 20 complaints
- 2006 8 recalls 32 complaints
- 2005 headlights 125 complaints
