TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA MDX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED MOVEMENT AND THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION WHILE IDLED. THE VEHICLE THEN LUNGED FORWARD. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING COLD WEATHER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,000. UPDATED 03/09/16*LJ; UPDATED 05/10/18*JB

MDX WITH 8000 MILES ON IT MAKES A LOUT THUMP NOISE COMING FRONT THE REAR SUSPENSION. HAD DEALER CHECK BUT SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND EVERYTHING APPEARS CORRECT. ISSUE HAS GOTTEN LOUDER. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE FOR SIMILAR ISSUES THIS APPEARS TO BE COMMON ON ALL MDX CARS FROM 2014 ON AND APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. NOT SURE HOW THIS RELATES TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE WITH REGARDS TO THE SUSPENSION POTENTIALLY COLLAPSING ETC.

ON NOVEMBER 11TH 2015, IT WAS A SUNNY MORNING IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND I WAS IN MY 2015 MDX DRIVING TO WORK. AFTER I PASSED A TOLL BOOTH, I HEARD A HUGE "GUNSHOT" LIKE EXPLOSION FROM THE ROOF AND REALIZED THE MOONROOF GLASS GOT SHATTERED. VERY SCARY! IT WAS VETERAN'S DAY, SUNNY AND NO TRAFFIC. I'M PRETTY SURE NO ONE HIT ME OR I HIT ANYTHING ELSE. AND I DID NOT SEE ANY ROCKS FALLING/BOUNCING AROUND ME CAR NOR ANY CARS WERE CLOSE TO MINE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK PICTURES AFTER I PARKED CAR IN MY OFFICE BUILDING. THE GLASS IS ACTUALLY PUSHED/CURVED OUT, MEANING IT IS A SIGN OF EXPLOSION FROM INSIDE DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY OF ACURA'S THIN MOONROOF GLASS. TOTAL COST OF REPLACEMENT IS $830. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A CLAIM TO ACURA CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP, CLAIMING THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE TO COVER THIS. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO GET BACK TO ME BY NOV 19TH. MY CAR IS LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD, ACURA REJECTED TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY INITIALLY, SO I HAD TO FILE THIS CLAIM AND FIGHT FOR THIS HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. IF THEY END UP REJECTING TO REIMBURSE ME, I WILL DEFINITELY AVOID ANY CARS MADE FROM HONDA GOING FORWARD AND SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH ANYONE I KNOW. TERRIBLE CAR QUALITY AND I HOPE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT ME. I REALLY HOPE ANYONE ELSE WHO EXPERIENCE SIMILAR ACCIDENTS CAN POST A COMPLAIN HERE OR GO SOMETHING FURTHER SO THAT OUR VOICES WILL BE HEARD AND THEY CAN EVENTUALLY TURN THIS TO A MANUFACTURE DEFECT ISSUE AND START A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA MDX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH COMPRESSOR BOLT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

I WAS DRIVING IN HOUSTON, GOING NORTH ON KIRBY DRIVE, WHICH IS A BUSY CITY STREET, AT APPROXIMATELY 4:30 PM ON MONDAY, OCT. 26, 2015. SHORTLY BEFORE I REACHED THE INTERSECTION OF KIRBY DR. AND SUNSET BLVD, I APPROACHED A STANDARD SIZED STEEL SHEET/PLATE IN THE ROAD. THE BRAKE ALERT FLASHED ON MY DASHBOARD. I IGNORED THE ALERT AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE, BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT IN DANGER OF HITTING ANYTHING. AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE STEEL PLATE, THE VEHICLE'S COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM APPLIED THE BRAKES ON ITS OWN, I ASSUME BECAUSE IT PERCEIVED THE STEEL PLATE TO BE A COLLISION THREAT. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER MY SUV, AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO RESUME NORMAL ACCELERATION. THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ONLY DISENGAGED ONCE THE SUV WAS DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE STEEL PLATE. MY CHILDREN AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED A REAR-END COLLISION. AT THE TIME, BECAUSE THE CITY STREET WAS SO BUSY, I WAS ONLY TRAVELING 20-25 MPH, AS WERE THE OTHER CARS AROUND ME. I FEAR WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS. MANY HOUSTON ROADS, INCLUDING OUR BUSY HIGHWAYS, HAVE STEEL PLATES COVERING ROAD REPAIR PROJECTS. I AM AFRAID THE BRAKES WILL ENGAGE SPONTANEOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, I WAS INFORMED THAT UNLESS THERE IS AN ACTIVE SIGNAL ON MY CAR SHOWING THE NEED FOR SOME KIND OF SERVICE, THE DEALERSHIP WON'T BE ABLE TO FIX OR IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. SUPPOSEDLY, MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO THE MAY 20, 2015 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE RECALL INVOLVING THE 2015 ACURA MDX COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #15V301000). THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT ADDRESSED THE RECALL ISSUE AS A PART OF MY AUGUST 2015 CHECKUP, AND THAT AS A RESULT, MY VEHICLE MET ALL STANDARDS. I NOTE THAT MY COMPLAINT IS NOT THE ONLY ONE PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE (SEE NHTSA ID #10763775). THE RECALL FIX MAY NOT HAVE WORKED.

WE HAVE SPORADIC PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME SLOW OR FAST SPEED: UPHILL OR DOWNHILL THE CAR WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS AND STARTS TO PULL AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT. WE HAVE REPORTED THIS TO ACURA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RESULTS WERE GUARDED. I AM AFRAID FOR MY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND IT HAPPENS ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE. IT HAPPENED TODAY AND WE CALLED THE DEALER TO COME AND PICK UP THE CAR.

AFTER THE RECALL OF COLLISON MIGRATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS). WITH THE NEW RECALL SOFTWARE. THE MDX STOPS OR APPLY THE BRAKING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS A CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT ONE WEEK. THEY SAID THAT IT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP PUT OVER 250 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM APPLING THE BRAKES GOING FROM CONCREATE TO ASPHALT WITH SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE TO REACT TO EACH BRAKING QUICKLY. IT ALSO HAPPENS IF THEIR IS A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD LIKE A VERY SMALL SPEED BUMP. SOMETIMES OVER THE SAME AREA I WOULD GET THE BRAKING ALERT FLASHING ON THE HEADS UP DISPLAY. SOMETIMES THE BRAKING LIGHT HAPPENS WITH SEAT BELT JERKING BACK AND A CHANGE OF SPEED. ONLY ONCE SINCE I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP DID IT DO A FULL BRAKING. AND THERE WAS NO OTHER CARS IN FRONT OF ME JUST THE ROAD. I AM LUCKY TO HAVE NO ONE BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA MDX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS IF THE CELL PHONE AND KEYLESS FOB WERE IN THE SAME LOCATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT SOME CELL PHONES MIGHT INTERFERE WITH THE KEYLESS SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE KEYLESS SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROPER REMEDY WOULD BE FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. UPDATED 11/09/15*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. ONLY REAR DOORS OPENED, WITH THE TAILGATE HAVING LITTLE MINOR ISSUES. UPDATED 1/25/2015 *JS *CN
