| Dec 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | In San Diego on 11/15/2021, my daughter side swiped a parked vehicle in residential area driving about 30 miles. No airbags deployed. A minute later the car stopped and would not start and started to have smoke and flames come from under hood and through inside windshield and dash. My daughter was able to get out and take her 3 year old son out of his carseat and run for their lives as the car completely became engulfed in flames.Thank God they made it out alive. Police and Fire department showed up. Car was a total loss, everything was burnt. One day the Acura MDX fires will take someone's life. Called Hoehn Acura in Carlsbad Ca and sent service manager Skip about 12 pictures of the completely burnt vehicle. He never returned my calls after leaving several messages. Also left message with general manager and no return call. They don’t care. They only appear interested when you are buying the vehicle. I did file a claim with Acura corporate office and still no word from them either. I have read many cases about the MDX going up in flames for no reason, even in the driveway or drive in your neighborhood. Not sure why they have not recalled this or tried to solve the issue. I am asking for someone to look into this as this is not an isolated incident before lives are lost. Once I get police report I will also send you pictures as well. Thank you. | Crash: Yes Fire: Yes | Unknown |
| May 2021 | POWER TRAIN | This is the exact problem I am experiencing: https://carbuzz.com/news/some-acura-rdx-and-mdx-owners-have-a-troubling-problem https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2020/acura-mdx-and-rdx-acceleration-problems-lawsuit.shtml https://www.wirtzlaw.com/2020/04/19/defects-in-2016-2017-2018-2019-and-2020-acura-mdx-and-rdx-cause-acceleration-problems-are-subject-to-california-lemon-laws/#:~:text=Model%20years%202016%2C%202017%2C%202018%2C%202019%2C%20and%202020,neutral%2C%20and%20engines%20that%20stall. Transmission slip: sudden hesitation on acceleration, sudden deceleration then acceleration on low speed, 'hiccup' on transmission shifting The issue happened since day one I leased the car. At the first oil change service, I reported to the dealership. The dealer performed transmission check and told me everything was 'normal'. However the issue has become persistent and more obvious - it now happens every time I drive. I now feel the sudden acceleration, and decelerationI makes it very dangerous to drive. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jul 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I AM HAVING CONTINUAL ISSUES WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM (RADIO, AIR CONDITIONING, NAVIGATION, ETC.). THE ISSUES HAVE CONTINUED TO WORSEN OVER TIME DURING MY SHORT TIME OF OWNERSHIP. THE ISSUES INCLUDE, THE ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM FREEZING, THE NAVIGATION SCREEN NOT ALTERNATING BETWEEN DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME BACKGROUNDS (WHICH CAUSES VISION ISSUES IN THE EVENINGS - IT IS CURRENTLY STUCK ON DAY WHICH IS BRIGHT), THE BACK-UP CAMERA STAYING ON WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FORWARD (THIS INCLUDES ALMOST UP TO 2 MILES AT ONE POINT), THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND NOT TURNING BACK ON, AND THE SYSTEM TRYING TO REBOOK CONITNUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOT ABLE TO REBOOT. THERE HAVE NOW BEEN TWO TIMES WHERE I NEED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND TURN IT BACK ON TO GET THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM BACK ON AND TO BE ABLE TO FUNCTION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP AND ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS I WOULD STILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE OTA. NO OTHER OPTIONS OR RESOLUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE OR BEING OFFERED. I HAVE MADE REQUESTS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DIRECTLY TO ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS TO HAVE THE SYSTEM REPLACED AS IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS STATED THEY WOULD NOT OFFER THAT AS AN OPTION. WHILE MY CAR WAS BEING LOOKED AT PREVIOUSLY, I WAS GIVEN ANOTHER ACURA MDX ON TWO OCCASSIONS AND DID NOT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES I AM EXPERIENCING WITH THE MDX THAT I OWN. I ASKED TO BE ESCALATED TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF LEADERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT EVEN IF MY ESCALATION REQUEST WERE TO BE REVIEWED, THE MANAGER HAS THE RIGHT WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD RESPOND. THIS WAS INAPPROPRIATE AS IT IS DISCOURAGING CONSUMERS IN TRYING HAVE THEIR CONCERNS HEARD. AT THIS POINT, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. D/B/A ACURA C/O ACURA IS NOW AVOIDING CONSUMERS TRYING TO GET THESE ISSUES RESOLVED. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2019 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS DISTORTED ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE. THE DISTORTION MAKES IT HARD TO SEE THINGS CLEARLY AND MAKES ME FEEL DIZZY WHEN DRIVING. IT'S LIKE LOOKING THROUGH AN HOURGLASS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY PARKING BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I ALMOST HIT A CAR IN A PARKING LOT BECAUSE OF IT. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | ISSUE 1: ====== VEHICLE IS IN PARKED POSITION IN DRIVE WAY AND WAS LOCKED. THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS ARE SET TO CLOSE UPON HITTING THE LOCK BUTTON. DURING COLD WEATHER THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS AND THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GLASS FROZE (THE MIRRORS WONT OPEN UP, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GLASS DOES NOT ROLL DOWN). UPON SEVERAL INSTANCES WHEN THIS IS ISSUE IS OBSERVED THERE IS NO VISIBLE SNOW/FROST OUTSIDE (THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IS DRY). I AM ASSUMING THE WATER THAT GOT COLLECTED MAY BE OVERNIGHT OR PREVIOUS DAY RAIN/SNOW IS GETTING FROZEN IN THE SHELLS OF THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR, AND THE SEAMS OF THE WINDOW GLASS PANE.. UNFORTUNATELY AND THERE IS NO WAY TO ROLL THE WINDOW MANUALLY OR OPEN THE MIRRORS MANUALLY. HAD TO WAIT FOR FEW HOURS BEFORE THE MIRRORS COULD ACTUALLY OPEN UP AND THE GLASS DOOR WOULD START ROLLING DOWN. ISSUE 2: ====== THE PHONE IS ASSOCIATED TO THE CAR AS A PAIRED BLUETOOTH DEVICE, AS WELL AS AN ANDROID PHONE. WHEN PLAYING SONGS VIA PHONE VIA BLUETOOTH IN CAR, THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION WOULD NOT RESUME AFTER YOU STOP THE CAR EXIT THE CAR, LOCK THE CAR (WHILE THE SONGS ARE BEING PLAYED) AND COME BACK AFTER SOME TIME UNLOCK THE CAR AND RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART THE BLUETOOTH ON MY PHONE FOR THE ACURA TO RECOGNIZE MY PHONE AS A MEDIA PLAYER, HOWEVER THE CAR RECOGNIZE MY PHONE AS A PHONE FOR MAKING CALLS ETC.. THIS HAPPENS TO PHONE AS A MEDIA PLAYER ONLY... ISSUE 2: ====== WHEN TWO DRIVERS ARE USING THE CAR, THE NEED FOR READJUSTMENT OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ONCE A DAY CAUSES THE MIRROR TO BREAK LOOSE. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2019 | WHEELS | I HAD LEAK IN MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE. WHEN CHANGING I NOTICED THE SPARE IS ATTACHED TO THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE. I THINK THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OVER TIME BECAUSE OF WEATHER THE HARDWARE THAT ANCHORS THE TIRE COULD FAIL. IF THAT HAPPENS THE TIRE COULD COME LOSE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. ACURA NEED TO REASSSES THE PLACEMENT OF THEIR SPARE TIRE. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

SIX PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED ONE TIME, THREE PROBLEMS ARE STILL INTERMITTENT, THE MOST CONCERNING IS THE HEATED SEAT FEATURE. THE CIRCUIT CLOSES WITHOUT ACTIVATION. OCCASIONALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE LED INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE ON. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS AFFECTED THE DRIVERS SEAT, ONCE THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND ONCE BOTH SEATS. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN REVERSE, THE REAR CAMERA ACTIVATED AND CONTINUED TO WORK AS I DROVE FORWARD TO MY DESTINATION. ONCE I WALKED PASSED THE VEHICLE WITH THE WIRELESS REMOTE IN MY POCKET AND THE VEHICLE UNLOCKED ITSELF WITHOUT TOUCHING THE DOOR. ANOTHER TIME BOTH SIDE MIRRORS TILTED DOWN REGARDLESS OF WHERE THE MIRROR SWITCH WAS ON THE DRIVER DOOR. SEVERAL TIMES THE RADIO WOULD NOT ACTIVATE WHEN THE ON/OFF BUTTON WAS PRESSED.

| Jan 2019 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGES AND THE CAR TAKES OFF FROM A DEAD STAND STILL WHEN RESUME BUTTON IS BUMPED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING CRUISE CONTROL SHOULD NOT ENGAGE FROM A STANDSTILL OR SLOW SPEED. I DISCOVERED THIS AFTER THE DEALER SERVICED THE CAR AND THE TECH HAD TURNED ON THE CRUISE THE RESUME BUTTON PERTRUDES OUT FROM THE STEARING WHEEL AND AS I WAS COASTING THROUGH A TURN ON THE DEALERS LOT THE CAR LAUNCHED FORWARD I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDDLE BUT IT CONTINUED TO EXCEL. I TOOK THE CAR RIGHT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD I MUST HAVE BUMPED THE 'RESUME' BUTTON WHILE TURNING AND THATS WHAT CAUSED IT TO UNEXPECTEDLY EXCEL. I ASKED, IT ENGAGES AT A VIRTUAL 4-5 MPH CRAWL? EVEN WHEN NO PREVIOUS SPEED HAS BEEN ENTERED SINCE THE CAR WAS STARTED? THE SERVICE WRITER STOPPED THE CAR, TOOK HIS FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND HE DEMONSTRATED HOW I MUST HAVE BUMPED THE RESUME AS I WAS TURNING. HE BUMPED THE RESUME AND THE CAR LAUNCHED OFF ON ITS OWN FROM A COMPLETE STANDSTILL. HE SAID IT WAS A NORMAL ACURA TRAIT BUT SHOULDNT EXCEED 25-30 MPH. HE SAID HE HAD A SUBARA THAT DOES THE SAME THING. HE SAID CUSTOMERS FREQUENTLY COMPLAIN ABOUT IT BEING A SAFETY HAZARD AND HE SUGGESTED WE JUST BE SURE THE CRUISE MASTER CONTROL IS TURNED OFF EVERY TIME WE START THE CAR. I TRIED THIS WITH ALL MY OTHER VEHICLES AND NONE OF THEM EVEN ENGAGED CRUISE UNDER 25 MPH. THIS IS IN MY OPINION A VERY SERIOUS UNEXPECTED EXCELLING PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED | Crash: No Fire: No | 18,000 |
