ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
JUST LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THE CAR SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN DRIVE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. ACURA HAS OFFERED LITTLE HELP WITH THE ISSUE. VERY UNSAFE AND DESERVED OF A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ACURA MDX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE GPS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING CEASED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO DAYS LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,500. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

BATTERY KEPT DRAINING AND WAS DEAD ON A FEW OCCASIONS. I CAME OUT TO A DEAD BATTERY ON TWO OCCASSIONS AND THEN DECIDED TO TAKE CAR TO ELECTRICAL REPAIR SHOP. PROBLEM WAS WITH THE BLUETOOTH. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. ELECTRICAL SHOP DISCONNECTED BLUETOOTH. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM YET DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT IN FORM OF RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAME OUT TO A DEAD BATTERY AFTER REPLACING BATTERY JUST A FEW MONTHS EARLIER. AFTER ALREADY GOING THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OF THE DEFECTIVE BLUE TOOTH, KNEW IT WAS ANOTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. TOOK CAR TO MY LOCAL SHOP WHERE HE DIAGNOSED ANOTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, THIS TIME WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RELAY/COMPRESSOR SWITCH. I DO NOT WANT TO BE WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING, SO HAD THEM FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE SECOND ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE 10 YEAR OLD MDX WITH ONLY 90,000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE BEING IGNORED BY HONDA MOTORS. I HAVE READ MANY INSTANCES ONLINE OF PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS SAME VEHICLE AND THE CARS HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM THESE VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAD A BIG RAIN STORM THE OTHER DAY. GOT INTO MY CAR AFTER IT BEING PARKED AT WORK ALL DAY AND FOUND IT WAS LEAKING FROM "C" PILLAR. TURNS OUT, SUNROOF DECIDED TO FLIP UP ON ITS OWN DURING THE DAY WITH THE CAR PARKED AND OFF. TOOK CAR TO MY LOCAL SHOP WHO HAS BEEN FAMILIAR WITH ACURA ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I TOLD HIM TO DISCONNECT THE WIRES TO THE SUNROOF FUNCTION COMPLETELY. I DONT NEED TO USE THE SUNROOF OR HAVE IT DECIDE TO OPEN ON ITS OWN AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE CAUSED EVEN MORE SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, BUT LUCKILY WATER DID NOT PENETRATE TO THE OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE MDX AND ACRUA/HONDA REFUSES TO ISSUE ANY RECALL OR EVEN ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS, WHICH ARE PROMINENT IN THIS VEHICLE

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ACURA MDX 2007, VEHICLE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STOPPED WHILE CAR IS MOTION ON FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK ON JANUARY 24, 2017 ABOUT 6:35 AM ON 610 LOOP PASSED THE STELLA LINK EXIT. I HAD TO MERGE OVER TO THE EDGE OF FWY TO RESTART THE CAR. THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND CAR TURNED OFF COMPLETELY WHILE IN DRIVING MODE, GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. VERY SCARY AND UNUSUAL. THIS IS A LIFE TREATING INCIDENT AND NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SO WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET FATALLY INJURED OR WORST? THIS PROBLEM DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 MDX WITH ABOUT 125,000 MILES ON IT. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION DARED NOVEMBER 2016 FROM ACURA THAT THE FRONT AND REAR ACTIVE DAMPERS MIGHT BE BAD. THE VEHICLE MAKES CLUNKING AND BANGING SOUNDS WHEN I DRIVE ON ROUGH ROADS OR GO OVER SPEED BUMPS AND I BELIEVE THAT THE DAMPERS ARE BAD. I REQUESTED A REVIEW, CASE 05228502 AND WAS IMMEDIATELY REJECTED BY AN ACURA EMPLOYEE IN TORRANCE CA. THIS IS THE FIRST MODEL YEAR TO BE RECALLED AND I BELIEVE THAT MOST ARE OVER THE 100,000 MILE LIMIT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRAINAGE OF BATTERY. THREE IN ONE YEAR. THE CULPRIT WAS THE HANDS FREE LINK AND XM RADIO. THE BLUETOOTH FEATURES IN THIS CAR HAS CAUSED IT TO SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY SEVERAL TIMES OR NOT START UP. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, THIS HAS BEEN THE COMPLAINT BY THOUSANDS OF OTHER ACURA MDX 2007. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE CAR ACCIDENTS. THIS IS TOO COMMON AN ISSUE TO NOT RECALL THESE PARTS.

THE ACTIVE DAMPER SYSTEM (ADS) ON MY ACURA MDX HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING AND HAS CAUSED THE STRUTS TO FAIL ON BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR. REQUIRING IT TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ISSUES RELATED TO THE ADS SYSTEM THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN RESPECTIVE FORUMS BY CUSTOMERS. ACURA CANADA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TILL THE END OF THE YEAR (2016), HOWEVER, ACURA AMERICA IS NOT WILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT. I AM FROM CANADA, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS FROM THE US AND I HAVE HAD TO SPEND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE STRUTS WHILE CUSTOMERS IN CANADA ARE GETTING THEIRS REPLACED OR REIMBURSED WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE STRUCTS OWING TO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS FAILED CAUSED BY "BATTERY DRAINAGE". LOCAL REPAIR SHOPS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX PROBLEMS, BUT DEALER'S AND HONDA MECHANICS ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS HORRIBLE PROBLEM. EVERYONE FIXING THE PROBLEM KNOWS VERY WELL THIS SHOULD BE "A RECALL" MATTER, AND CREATES A GREAT ROAD HAZARD AS WELL ARE GARAGE FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE. THE THINGS INVOLVED ARE "BLUE TOOTH" MODULAR, AIR CONDITIONER CLUTCH RELAY, FUSES. REGARDING THE BLUE TOOTH, THIS MODULAR GETS VERY VERY HOT, AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE!! WHEN THE BATTERY FAILS TO CHARGE WHILE DRIVING TO GET SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY IS VERY DANGEROUS, MUCH WORST AT DARKNESS!! HONDA NEEDS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND RECALL AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS NOW. MY EXPERIENCE HAPPENED WITH THE CAR IN MOTION, AND ALL INDICATORS FLASHING, REAR AXLE NOISES, HEAT INSIDE CAR, LOSS OF POWER, AND VEHICLE IN "KIND OF, A LIMPING MODE". VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR, NOW WITH 140,000 MILES, AND ALWAYS SERVICED EVERY 3-5,000 MILES. WE HAVE TAKEN PRIDE IN THIS VEHICLE, UNTIL THIS "BATTERY DRAINAGE" PROBLEM, NOW IS EFFECTING OUR THOUGHTS ABOUT HONDA MOTORS.
