SEATS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ACURA MDX. WHEN PLACING HER CHILD IN THE THIRD ROW SEAT, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO SETTING FOR THE MIDDLE HEADREST FOR SMALL KIDS. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR YOUNG KIDS BECAUSE THE HEADREST ONLY HAD TWO POSITIONS. IF THE CHILD IS NOT THE CORRECT HEIGHT, HE OR SHE WOULD BE UNABLE TO UTILIZE THE HEADREST. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WHEN I TOOK IT OUT, THE VSA AND THE VTM4-LOCK LIGHTS WERE ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF. AND THE DRIVE EXTREMELY SLUGGISH. NO ACCELERATION AND IT WOULDN'T GO ANY HIGHER THAT 25 MPH. EVEN GETTING IT TO 25 MPH TOOK OVER 1-2 MINUTES, FELT LIKE ETERNITY. MADE IT TO POHANKA FINALLY. COULDN'T ACCELERATE TO MERGE, COULDN'T GO UPHILL ON EVEN SLIGHT INCLINES, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS . *NM

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I BOUGHT A NEW 2006 ACURA MDX AND FROM THE FIRST TIME I DROVE IT HOME, I COULDN'T DRIVE OVER 55 MPH WITHOUT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SO BAD I COULD BARELY HOLD IT. SINCE THEN, WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND HALF IT HAS BEEN IN LINDSEY ACURAS REPAIR SHOP 3 TIMES AND THEY STILL CANNOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. IS THERE A LEMON LAW FOR THIS PROBLEM WERE WE COULD REPLACE THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY. MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME PLEASE. THANK YOU. *NM

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
2006 ACURA MDX WITH 12000 MI HAS A PPG (WINDSHIELD MANUFACTURE) WINDSHIELD DEFECT. WINDSHIELD HAS A 20 INCH (HOOK SHAPE) EDGE CRACK FROM PASSENGER SIDE STARTING FROM THE FIRST TWO INCHES OF THE PERIMETER. PROBABLY CAUSE IS "RESIDUAL STRESS" AND "INDUCE STRESS" DUE TO INSTALLATION OR DESIGN FLAW. BOTH ARE MANUFACTURE DEFECTS. ACURA DEALER REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE AND REPLACE WINDSHIELD DEFECT. SERVICE MANAGER CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A 140 MPH IMPACT. IF THAT WAS TRUE, THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD WOULD OF BEEN SHATTERED. FACT IS, THE POINT OF IMPACT IS THE SIZE OF A PENCIL TIP. PRIOR TO DISCOVERING THE CRACK, THERE IS NO APPARENT OR OBVIOUS DEBRIS IMPACT. ACTUALLY, MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE THE WHOLE TIME UNTIL THE CRACK STARTED AND NOTHING HAD STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. POSSIBLE LINK TO HONDA ELEMENT'S SAME ISSUES. AFTER ALL, HONDA MAKES ACURA. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BLUE-WHITE HALOGEN LIGHTS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED. THE GLARE IS OVERWHELMING AND DANGEROUS. IT IS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND LIKELY LEADS TO ACCIDENTS, LIKE ANY OTHER DISTRACTION INTERFERES WITH ATTENTIVENESS. THE GLARE IN REAR VIEW MIRRORS CAUSES DRIVERS TO UNNECESSARILY PLACE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IN "NIGHT DRIVING" POSITION, WHICH LIMITS ABILITY TO SEE ORDINARY OBJECTS. *NM
