2013 Acura Mdx

Internal vehicle fire started around front passenger seat and burned for an unknown amount time before it extinguished on its own while vehicle was off and parked. Fire department was contacted upon fire discovery and they confirmed it was out, could be electrically related, and disconnected my battery Vehicle is available for inspection for the time being (pending insurance). If I or any passenger was in the vehicle they could've been seriously injured or died. There were no warning lamps or issues of any prior problem.

I PURCHASED A 2013 ACURA MDX FROM HONDA OF BOWIE ON JULY 1, 2O16. THAT SAME DAY I HAD TO BRING IT BACK BECAUSE THE AIR CONDITIONER DID NOT WORK. ON FRIDAY, JULY 9 I HAD TO BRING IT BACK BECAUSE THE NAVIGATION DOES NOT WORK, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE UNDER THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED. I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS SEVERAL ISSUES AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD TO ME. THE CAR HAD JUST COME IN (AS I WAS TOLD)AN D IT HAD NOT GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS REQUIRERD FOR USED CARS BEFORE BEING SOLD. I INITIALLY WENT THERE TO TRADE MY KIA AND BUY A USED CAR. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO BUY A NEW CAR BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE EQUITY. SO I DID NOT TRADE MY KIA AND BOUGHT A USED ACURA FOR 40,000. THIS CAR HAS MANY ISSUE WITH IT,

TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM...... I BOUGHT A USED 2012 MDX WITH 4300 MILES 5 MONTHS LATER I HAD THIS ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A ACURA DEALER AND THEY FIXED IT BUT I DID FEEL SAFE SO I TRADED IT IN FOR A NEWER MODEL THINKING IT WOULD BE BETTER...LONG BEHOLD THE 2013 MDX I GOT DID THE SAME THING 5 MONTH LATER. THE DEALER NEVER TOLD ME AFTER BRING THE FIRST CAR BACK THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. AND SOLD ME A SECOND ONE , WHICH BY THE WAY I LOSS $8000 ON THE FIRST CAR FOR TRADING IT IN SO SOON.I ONLY TRADED IT IN BECAUSE I DID FEEL SAFE AND I TOLD THEM THAT..LUCKY I BOUGHT WARRANTY BECAUSE THE 2013 MDX HAD 6700 MILE AND WARRANTY WAS UP......
