POWER TRAIN
WHEN APPROACHING SPEEDS OF 35MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO MAKE A RUMBLING NOISE FROM THE FRONT AND WOULD THEN START TO SHAKE HEAVILY. THE SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE UNTIL YOU WOULD GO FASTER THAN 40MPH OR SLOWER THAN 25MPH. THE VEHICLE IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN RUMBLING AND CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD AS ATTENTION IS TAKEN AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND PUT ONTO THE VEHICLE. FURTHERMORE, YOU ARE FORCED TO EITHER SPEED , UP TO 40MPH OR SLOW DOWN TO 25MPH TO STOP THE RUMBLING, INTERFERING WITH DRIVING AND POSSIBLY BREAKING LAWS.

AIR BAGS
IN OCTOBER OF 2014 SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2003 ACURA MD. ACURA REPORTED FAULTY SRS UNIT AND REPLACED UNIT AT OWNERS EXPENSE. AT SAME SERVICE APPOINTMENT, ACURA REPLACED AIR BAG INFLATOR UNDER RECALL (SB 14-029) UNDER WARRANTY. SUBSEQUENTLY, ANOTHER AIRBAG RECALL (SB-14-023) WAS COMPLETED 12/9/14. SRS UNIT NOW PLACED ON RECALL LIST BY NHTSA. OWNER APPLIED TO AMERICAN HONDA FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE SRS UNIT (10/14) BUT WAS DENIED BECAUSE "THERE WAS NO DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG PRIOR TO THE REPLACEMENT" (10/14). I'M CONFUSED. THIS PARTICULAR YEAR/MODEL SRS UNIT IS BEING RECALLED/REPLACED DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR LIFE THREATENING DEPLOYMENT PROBLEMS. IN ADDITION THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MODEL'S AIRBAG SYSTEM CLEARLY INDICATING THAT THERE WERE/ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE 2003 ACURA MDX. FORTUNATELY, MY SRS UNIT IN QUESTION WAS REPLACED (FOR NOTED DEFECTS) PRIOR TO A DISASTROUS DEPLOYMENT. AS SUCH, WHY AM I NOT BEING REIMBURSED FOR THE PRIOR REPLACEMENT OF MY UNIT THAT HAS NOW BEEN PLACED ON THE RECALL LIST?
