2007 Acura Mdx

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.

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!

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.

CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH SPORT SUSPENSION. SHOCK MOUNT HAD BEEN RATTLING FOR MONTHS, TAKEN TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER SCOURING INTERNET FOR A CAUSE, FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS IN MDX FORUMS ABOUT SPORT SUSPENSION SHOCK MOUNTS BREAKING. TOOK BACK TO DEALER, CAUSE WAS CONFIRMED. THE CONCERN IS THAT THESE SHOCKS COST $1000 EACH, THEY ARE A DEALER ONLY ITEM, AND JUST 10 MINUTES OF RESEARCH ONLINE WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND MOST CUSTOMERS DON'T GET ANY OR MUCH DEALER PARTICIPATION IN THE REPAIR. BEFORE THE REPAIR, THE CAR WAS MOST DEFINITELY UNSAFE, AND IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, I DID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ACURA MDX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE TERMINAL BATTERY WAS REPLACED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

BACK GLASS BROKE ALL OF A SUDDEN. NO EXPLANATION TO IT... IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS HAPPEN TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO OWNS HONDA/ACURA. I OPENED MY VEHICLE GOT IN IT WHEN I CLOSE MY DOOR HEARD LIKE A PIECE OF GLASS FALL IN THE CAR WITHOUT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS. GOT OFF AND TOOK A LOOK AROUND WHAT I SEE A THE BACK GLASS IT WAS SHATTERED. I WENT AROUND TO LOOK AT IT AND THE CORNERS OF BOTH SIDES WERE BROKEN AND THE WHOLE GLASS SHATTERED NO EXPLANATION TO IT KEPT LOOKING AROUND TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED WENT TO THE INTERNET DID SOME RESEARCH ON IT AND THIS HAS HAPPEN TO A LOT OF PEOPLE BROKEN GLASS WITHOUT A REASON AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH I REALIZED THAT IS A DEFECT PROBLEM FROM ACURA/ HONDA SPECIALLY ON THE MDX'S SIDE WINDOW, BACK GLASS AND A LOT OF GLASS PARTS . IT HAS TO DO WITH LIKE A PIECE OF RUBBER OR METAL . I'M NOT A GLASS MAN SO THIS IS JUST WHAT HAPPEN TO ME. NOW JUST WAITING FOR THE GLASS COMPANY TO CALL ME TO SEE WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO ABOUT IT. BEING A DEFECTIVE PROBLEM AND PUTTING PEOPLE ON RISK ACURA / HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT WITHOUT ME USING MY INSURANCE COMPANY...A 50000 DOLLAR SUV WITH THOSE ISSUES SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE BY ACURA. *TR

THE HANDS FREE LINK (HFL) ON THIS 2007 ACURA MDX FAILED TO WORK. THE DEVICE PROVIDES FOR SAFE HANDS FREE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND TALKING ON A BLUETOOTH PAIRED PHONE. IN ADDITION IT PROVIDES FOR SAFE OPERATIONS OF VARIOUS SETTINGS OF THE VEHICLE W/OUT HAVING TO TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG HONDA'S AND ACURA'S THAT THAT THE HANDS FREE LINK ELECTRONIC MODULE MALFUNCTIONS. IN ADDITION THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE HFL CAUSES A BATTERY DRAIN AND

THE ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION ON OUR 07 MDX IS AN EXTRA PAID OPTION, WE DID NOT BUY NEW BUT WE STILL PAID FOR THAT OPTION AS IT INCREASES VALUE NEW OR USED... THE REAR DAMPERS IN OURS ARE LEAKING AND FOR A SET TO REPLACE COSTS AT LEAST $1000 IN PARTS AND THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY LABOR. THIS IS A PREMIUM BRAND, BUT IT IS NOT AN EXOTIC... NOT SURE WHY AN ACURA ADS SUSPENSION PART THAT PROBABLY COSTS THEM $50 TO MAKE, COSTS THE CONSUMER (AKA THE PPL WHO KEEP ACURA IN BUSINESS) $500+ EACH. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR AND EXPENSIVE FLAW IN ACURAS SUSPENSION AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE FOR FREE OR AT THE LEAST PRICE THE PART SO IT'S AFFORDABLE. I HAVE A 12 YR OLD LEXUS THAT HAS THE ORIGINAL SUSPENSION AND IS STILL WORKING LIKE IT SHOULD... *TR

BATTERY IN OUR 2007 ACURA MDX HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS! TURNS OUT THAT THE HANDSFREE LINK MODULE WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY AND CAUSING IT HAVING TO BE REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE WHICH CAN POSE AS A DEADLY RESULT ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR IS PARKED INSIDE OF A GARAGE. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BY ACURA FREE OF CHARGE ASAP! I DISCONNECTED IT RATHER THAN REPLACING IT AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS MATTER! *JS
