2007 Acura Mdx

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.

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.

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.
