ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
AFTER PURCHASING MY 2012 ACURA MDX BACK IN APRIL 2012 JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER OF THIS DATE MY VEHICLE PRESENTED AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER CAR SEAT MOTOR, AS IN NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND SAFELY ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE THE HEIGHT OF THE SEAT TO MY NEEDS. AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED I CALLED IT IN AND WAS REQUESTED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. FEW MONTHS WENT BY UNTIL THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AND HERE I AM UNABLE TO SIT SAFELY AND PROPERLY DUE TO THE SEAT BASE NOT WORKING AGAIN. FOR THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE WAS CALLED IN AND BROUGHT IN FOR A SUPPOSED NEW/ORIGINAL PART CHANGE. THE SERVICE DEPT MANAGER OVER AT ACURA OF BOSTON HAD TOLD ME THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS WILL FULLY BE REPAIRED AND THAT IT SHOULDN'T REOCCUR. ON JUNE 2015 THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM REOCCURS AND HERE I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A PILLOW BECAUSE THE SEAT BASE IS NOT WORKING AT ALL THEREFORE SEAT CANNOT BE LEVELED TO MY HEIGHT. I AM EXTREMELY TIRED AND VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH FOR ME SEEMS TO BE A MECHANICAL DEFECT FROM THE ORIGINAL FABRICATION.

WHILE DRIVING, THE MDX SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL AND CANNOT BE SHIFTED OUT OF NEUTRAL. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY MULTIPLE TIMES. THE INFORMATION DISPLAY SHOWS FIRST EMISSIONS PROBLEM, THEN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ACURA HAS A TSB OUT FOR THIS B15-034, BUT WON'T APPLY IT UNTIL THE PROBLEM APPEARS. HAVING YOUR VEHICLE SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL IN A HIGH SPEED ENVIRONMENT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. TSB B15-034 NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE THEIR MDX SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEY BECOME IMMOBILIZED AND PEOPLE ARE KILLED AS A RESULT....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
THE ISSUE AT HAND REGARDING THE VSA (VEHICLE STABILITY) FOR WHICH A RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN ISSUED. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN AND RECEIVED THE RECALL. THIS HOWEVER DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE WHICH IS A SERIOUS ISSUE MANY OTHERS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FACE. THE "YAW RATE SENSOR" MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING SIMILAR BUT MORE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THAN THE "WIRING HARNESS" ACURA CLAIMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE VSA ISSUE. THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE SEEMS TO BRAKE VERY HARD PULLING MY VEHICLE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND NEARLY FLIPPING THE VEHICLE THE ON 7/28/15 AT 65 MPH. THE SITUATION IS EXTREME AS OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING. IT IS NOT A BRIEF AND NON DRASTIC PULL. IF BOTH HANDS ARE NOT ON THE WHEEL AT THE TIME OF MALFUNCTION THE VEHICLE MAY VERY WELL FLIP OVER. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THE ISSUE FIGURING THE ISSUE WAS LINKED TO THE RECALL; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT. THE YAW RATE SENSOR IS CAUSING MY CAR TO THINK I'M SPINNING OUT WHICH IMMEDIATELY STOPS SENDING POWER TO THE FRONT LEFT TIRE CAUSING MY CAR TO VEER HARD TO THE LEFT. THEY WANTED $75 FOR AN INSPECTION AS WELL AS $1200 TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR THERE NOT TO BE A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO OTHER WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE.

STARTING IN FALL 2011 WITH APPX 60,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC STOPPED THE CAR WILL NOT DRIVE WHEN YOU PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE WILL REV LIKE IT IS NUETRAL AND IF YOU KEEP PRESSING IT WILL ROLL A LITTLE AND FINALLY BREAK FREE AND DRIVE AGAIN. IF YOU PUT THE CAR IN NUETRAL OR PARK IT RESETS IT SELF AND WORKS FINE, OTHERWISE IT SOMETIMES WILL KEEP HAPPENING AND OTHER TIME THE CAR DRIVES LIKE IT IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. IT DID THIS ONCE IN WHILE AT FIRST WITH CONDITIONS OF BEING HOT OUTSIDE AND AC ON IN CAR. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE. IN 2014 THE CAR DID IT AND WHEN IT BROKE FREE IT WAS JERKING AT 20 MPH AND 40 MPH ALL THE WAY TO THE DEALER, I DID NOT TURN THE CAR OFF NOR TAKE OUT OF DRIVE, UPON GETTING TO THE DEALER. THEY HOOKED UP A COMPUTER AND DECIDED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY REPLACED IT AND FOUND THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY REPLACE A COMPUTER. THEY WEATHER GOT COLDER AND NO ISSUES UNTIL SPRING 2015 WHEN IT STARTED AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN IT GOT HOT OUT AND THE AC WAS ON IN THE CAR. THE NAVIGATION WAS RESETTING AS WELL AS THE CAR JERKING LIKE MENTIONED BEFORE. DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AGAIN WITHOUT TAKING OUT OF DRIVE THEY HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER AGAIN AND SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED IT AGAIN. WE PUT IN A NEW CAR BATTERY AS WELL AT THAT TIME THINKING MAYBE T HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH NAVIGATION RESETTING. A FEW DAYS LATER IT STARTED AGAIN. WENT TO THE DEALER AGAIN, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING AND WE FEEL THAT ACURA IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. ACURA CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL ONLY DO WHAT THE COMPUTER SAYS IS WRONG AND CLEARLY IT IS NOT THE ISSUE SINCE ONCE YOU TURN THE CAR OFF OR TAKE OUT OF DRIVE IT WILL OT GIVE A CODE.

UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION AND FAILURE OF COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM 2014 ACURA MDX ADVANCED. ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT A STRIP MALL PARKING LOT LOCATED 1 MILE FROM MY RESIDENCE WHERE I WAS GROCERY SHOPPING. WEATHER 65 F SUNNY. HEAVY PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. I WAS PARKED HEAD IN DIAGONALLY. I PLACED MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL,PLACED THE SUV IN REVERSE,LIFTED MY RIGHT FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SLOWLY BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE,STRAIGHTENING THE WHEELS IN THE PROCESS.I PLACED MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE, SHIFTED TO DRIVE, AND PLACED MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND WITHOUT ACTUALLY DEPRESSING THE PEDAL THE ENGIN REVED UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE SUV SURGED FORWARD 100 FT AT INCREASING SPEED BEFORE COLLIDING IN A DOMINO FASHION WITH A ROW OF 6 VEHICLES PUSHING ONE OF THE VEHICLES OVER ONE OF THE ADJACENT VEHICLES BEFORE VEERING OFF TO THE SIDE AND TRAVELING AN ADDITIONAL 200 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A STOP.THE DRIVERS SIDE CHEST AND KNEE BAGS DEPLOYED WHEN I IMPACTED WITH THE FIRST VEHICLE.I DO NOT REMEMBER IF I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE.THERE WERE NO INJURIES.THE DAMAGES TO MY SUV WERE EXTENSIVE. MY INSURER DECLARED IT A TOTAL LOSS.I HAVE PHOTOS TAKEN AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT SHOWING SKID MARKS AND THE DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLES BEFORE THEY WERE MOVED. MY INSURER HAD MY VEHICLE EXAMINED BY AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN.HE CONCLUDED THAT I SIMULTANEOUSLY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR BECAUSE OF THE PEDAL WARE PATTERN. ALSO THE DIAGNOSTIC PORT DID NOT SHOW AN ERROR CODE.HE DID NOT EXAMINE THE EVENT DATA RECORDER (BLACK BOX). I DO NOT AGREE WITH HIS CONCLUSIONS. I BELIEVE I DID NOT STEP ON THE PEDALS SIMULTANEOUSLY. IN RETROSPECT I BELIEVE THAT I ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED ONE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS LOCATED ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN I WAS BACKING UP AND STRAIGHTENING THE WHEELS.

THE SWITCH DID NOT RESPOND, DURING A COUPLE MINUTES OF PRESSING THE SWITCH. UNKNOWN WHY THE SWITCH BECAME STUCK OR HOW IT BECAME UNSTUCK.

IF THE CAR PARKED FOR 2 OR MORE DAYS IT WILL NOT START. THERE IS DRAIN IN THE SYSTEM. APPARENTLY THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ACURA. DEALER SAID THAT HE COULD TRY TO DISCONNECT BLUETOOTH (HANDSFREE LINK) FOR $150-200. MY FAMILY WAS STUCK IN COLD WINTER NIGHTS IN THE PARKING LOT WITH NO PEOPLE, WHICH WAS NOT PLEASANT. I THINK ACURA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AND DISCONNECT OR REPLACE DEFECTIVE UNITS FOR FREE. WE REPLACED BATTERY A COUPLE OF TIMES WITHOUT ANY AFFECT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR CONSTANTLY LOSES POWER OR GET WARNING LIGHT STATING I NEED TO CHECK MY STARTING SYSTEM. HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES THIS YEAR, REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR TWICE AND HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER ONCE. SOMETIMES CAR DOES NOT LOSE POWER ALL THE WAY, BUT WILL LOSE FUNCTIONALITY OF WINDOWS, TURN SIGNALS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, RADIO, AC AND ANY OTHER FUNCTION ALTHOUGH CAR WILL STILL DRIVE. INSIDE THE ARM REST IS USUALLY EXTREMELY HOT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SO HOT THAT IT BURNS YOUR HAND TO THE TOUCH. AFTER READING OVER 20 COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME TYPE OF ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY THE HANDSFREE LINK IN THE CAR, WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE BECAUSE IT STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY BACK IN MARCH 2014. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE!

THE OWNER'S GUIDE OF THE VEHICLE SAYS: "TO LOCK: PRESS THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON ON ANY FRONT (OR REAR) DOOR HANDLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF. IF THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER IS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK." BUT ON 5/20/15, AFTER MY SISTER PLACED HER 6 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE BACK OF THE PARKED ACURA AND WAS READY TO DRIVE OFF, ALL DOORS WERE LOCKED WITH BABY AND THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER INSIDE THE VEHICLE. 911 WAS CALLED AND FIREFIGHTERS BROKE THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW TO SAVE THE BABY FROM OVERHEATING. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO ACURA WHO SAID IT WAS A NORMAL BEHAVIOR, EVEN THOUGH ITS OWNER'S GUIDE SAYS THE OPPOSITE. ACURA PEOPLE SAID THEY HAD A VIDEO SHOWING THE DOORS WOULD LOCK WITH THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER INSIDE VEHICLE, HOWEVER THAT WAS NOT PUBLIC INFORMATION. THAT MAKES ME WONDER - IF THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER CAN BE LOCKED INSIDE A PARKED VEHICLE, WHY DO THEY SAY "IF THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER IS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK." IN THE OWNER'S GUIDE? I WOULD THINK THAT EITHER THEY PUT A WRONG STATEMENT IN THE OWNER GUIDE OR THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THE DEFECTIVE LOCKING SYSTEM. ...UPDATED 07/30/15 *BF UPDATED 10/23/2017*CN

SUSPENSION
MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A USED 2007 MDX ACURA 2 YRS AGO AND HAVE EXPERIENCED EVERYTHING FROM BAD TIRES TO SUSPENSION TO DVD TO BATTERY PROBLEMS. WE HAD OUR VEHICLE SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALER AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT IT WOULD COST TO HAVE STRUTS DONE AND GIVEN A QUOTE OF APPROXIMATELY $1350. WHEN I RETURNED TO HAVE THE SERVICE DONE, I WAS ENCOURAGED TO HAVE THE TIMING BELT DONE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT AS VITAL AS GETTING THE STRUT WORK DONE. SO I HAD THE TIMING BELT DONE. NOW OUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING STRUT PROBLEMS. NO ONE SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THESE KINDS OF ISSUES ON A VEHICLE THEY HAVE ONLY HAD FOR 2 YRS. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 68,000 MILE. IT NOW HAS ROUGHLY 110,000. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE BOOST. THERE WAS NOTHING GOING ON THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DIE, IN FACT THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY WAS GOOD. WE HAVE PUT TOO MUCH MONEY ALREADY INTO THIS VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS AND IT IS SIMPLY NOT WORTH IT. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE. THE DVD ON OCCASIONS DOES NOT WORK AND WE GET SOME TYPE OF READ ERROR. FOR THE AMOUNT WE SPEND EVERY MONTH ON THIS CAR, THIS IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS.
