2009 Acura Mdx

MY MDX HAS ONLY 62,400 MILES AND TODAY I GOT A MESSAGE "CHECK STARTER SYSTEM" DUE TO THE HFL MODULE IS DRAINING THE BATTERY. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS IN MY GARAGE AT THE TIME. I HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY SO I COULD START THE CAR. ALL THE INFO I HAVE READ ONLINE STATES THE THE HFL MODULE GETS REAL HOT AND CAN CAUSE FIRE. MY GARAGE IS UNDER MY BEDROOM. THIS IS A PART MADE BY JOHNSON CONTROLS, ACURA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ITEM.

BLUETOOTH STOPPED WORKING AND A FEW WEEKS LATER, MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE CAR STALLED ON ME AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY SPOT!!!!! I WENT TO THE ACURA DEALER AND EXPLAINED TO THE GUY THAT MY BATTERY KEPT DRAINING. HE ASKED ME IF MY BLUETOOTH STOPPED WORKING, I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I HADN'T MENTIONED ANY ISSUES WITH MY BLUETOOTH BUT I LET HIM KNOW THAT IN FACT, THE BLUETOOTH HAD STOPPED. THE REP SAID IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE. HAD TO REPLACE THE BLUETOOTH AND PAID $600!!!! MY FRIENDS SISTER HAS THE SAME MAKE CAR AND HER BLUETOOTH STOPPED WORKING AND HER CAR BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD. IT'S VERY SCARY SINCE APPARENTLY I MUST HAVE STARTED THE CAR RIGHT BEFORE THE BATTERY DIED AGAIN. IMAGINE WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF IT HAD STALLED ON A HIGHWAY OR A BUSY STREET!

NOT SURE IF THIS RELATED TO TAKATA AIRBAGS. MY WIFE WAS IN BAD ROLLOVER ACCIDENT INVOLVING A 2009 ACURA MDX ON NOV 5, 2015. AT 5:15 PM ON 11/5, THURSDAY, IT WAS DARK AND RAINING AS SHE WAS HEADING EAST ON US ROUTE 12 CLOSE TO THE ARCELORMITTAL USA OFFICE AND SLIPPED, VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND SUV ROLLED OVER AND CART WHEELED AND FELL IN A DITCH. THE SUV WAS UPSIDE DOWN WHEN I ARRIVED AFTER A FIRST RESPONDER CALLED ME FROM THE SCENE. NOT SURE WHY SHE VEERED OFF WHEN SHE WAS ON THE LEFT MOST LANE. SHE SUDDENLY CROSSED 2 LANES AND SHOULDER AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH. SHE WAS NOT FATIGUED SINCE IT WAS LESS THAN 3 MIN SINCE SHE LEFT FROM THE OFFICE AND WE HAVE BLUE TOOTH HANDSFREE IN OUR 2009 ACURA MDX TECH. NOT SURE IF THE AIR BAG WENT OFF FALSELY OR IF SHE HAD A TIRE BURST. I KNOW BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE FLAT WHEN I SAW IT IN THE SALVAGE YARD. ALL SHE RECALLS IS AIR BAGS GOING OFF - NOT SURE IF THEY DEPLOYED BEFORE OR AFTER SHE HIT THE DITCH...

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH 2009 ACURA MDX- THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATES WHILE DRIVING INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO AN ACURA REPAIR FACILITY. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT IT IS A FAULTY SENSOR AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 ACURA MDX. THE DEALERSHIP FURTHER STATED THAT IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $700.00 FOR THEM TO MAKE THE REPAIR AS ACURA HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE SENSOR.

"NOX SENSOR WIRING HARNESS CHEWED BY MOUSE" PER ACURA DEALERSHIP. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF RODENT DAMAGE OR PRESENCE ELSEWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRIOR MODELS PRIOR TO 2009, BUT MY PARTICULAR CAR DOESN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE WIRING HAS BEEN COVERED BY HONDA RODENT DETERRENT TAPE AS SHOWING IN THE PICTURES. I HAVE CONTACTED ACURA/HONDA DEALERSHIPS, THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ALSO THE IRRESPECTIVE, ACURA/HONDA MANUFACTURER CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY OTHER CAR (HONDA ODYSSEY 2009) WITHIN A SPAN OF ONE WEEK WITH EXACTLY SIMILAR PRESENTATION. WHEN I REQUESTED INFORMATION FROM THE ABOVE SOURCES, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CUSTOMERS AND THAT IS IT IS A RARE EVENT AND NOT RELATED TO MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND ALSO THERE WAS NO DEFINITIVE TREND IN ACURA/HONDA(SAME COMPANY) NOX SENSOR WIRING HARNESS CHEWED BY RODENTS AND HAVE REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM TO WHICH I HAVE SUBSCRIBED/PURCHASED. I HAVE ANOTHER ENTRY REGARDING THE OTHER VEHICLE. *TR

THE MESSAGE CENTER CAME ON TELLING ME TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AND PRESSURE. PULL OVER ASAP AND HAVE IT TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND EACH TIME THEY SAY ITS A SENSOR BUT HOW MANY CAN THERE BE AND HOW CAN THEY KEEP GOING OUT. WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING THE WIPERS WILL SHORT OUT AS WELL AND RADIO WILL FADE IN AND OUT. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT WITHIN THE ELECTRICAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 ACURA MDX. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE NOX SENSOR HARNESS HAD BEEN CHEWED ON BY RODENTS AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.
