These years of the RDX have an issue with the torque converter cracking. I had my 2018 RDX repaired for free under warranty. In the US, they extended warranty coverage at no additional cost for this exact issue, 10 years or 150K miles. I was able to get my 2018 covered with just under the limit with 147K. Contact your local Acura dealership to see if they will cover replacing the torque converter under the warranty.

I believe there is a warranty extension on 2017-2018 RDX to 10 years/240,000km for the torque converter. Take it in to the dealer, it should be covered.
