I'M LOOKING OVER RECALLS ON KELLEY BLUE BOOK SITE

ON 3/9, I WAS PARKING MY 2006 MDX IN AN INDOOR PARKING GARAGE. ABOUT 15 FEET FROM A WALL, IT TOOK OFF REAL FAST. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKES, BUT IT SLAMMED INTO THE WALL SO HARD. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, SMOKE CAME OUT & THE ALARM WENT OFF UNTIL A PASSERBY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. I COULDN'T STAND UP FOR A FEW MINUTES. MY INSURANCE CO. DECIDED IT WAS TOTALLED & HAD IT TOWED TO OUR HOUSE INSTEAD OF A BODY SHOP, THEN ONLY GAVE ME ITS BOOK VALUE. I STILL HAVE MANY BRUISES ALL OVER MY BODY AND MY NOSE BLED FOR A WHILE AND WAS SWOLLEN FOR A WEEK. THE SEAT BELT CUT INTO MY NECK AND ITS IMPACT LEFT SEVERE BRUISES ON MY CHEST. THE IMPACT MADE BOTH MY REPLACED KNEES BRUISE AND HURT. I HAD LOWER BACK FOR MANY DAYS. POHANKA ACURA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS AN ACURA COMPANY ISSUE. GOOGLE DIDN'T SHOW ANY RECALLS ON ACURA MDX ACCELERATORS. BUT, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD WITH THEIR MDX. WHILE BRAKING, THE CAR GOES FASTER INSTEAD. ON 3/11, AND AFTER MANY LEFT MESSAGES TO ACURA, ACURA FINALLY CALLED. I REQUESTED THAT SOMEONE WILL CHECK THE ACCELERATOR, B4 IT WAS TOWED AWAY. HE SAID I NEEDED TO FIX THE CAR AND BRING IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL NEW STATE. AFTER THAT, ACURA WILL THEN LOOK AT IT AND DETERMINE IF THE ACCELERATOR HAD ISSUES. I'M VERY RELIEVED I DIDN'T DIE. I'M STILL NOT SURE IF I MIGHT DEVELOP ANY PERMANENT PHYSICAL PROBLEMS FROM THIS ACCIDENT. THE SHOCK, TRAUMA AND INJURIES WERE UNNECESSARY. I'M ALSO VERY GLAD I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE. I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LIVE WITH MYSELF. I WASN'T PREPARED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR NOW. I WAS PLANNING ON KEEPING IT FOR AT LEAST 2 MORE YEARS. BESIDES LOSING MY CAR, I WAS EXPOSED TO EXTREME DANGER, STRESS, FEAR AND PHYSICAL HARM, BECAUSE OF THE THE NEGLIGENCE ON ACURA'S PART. I HOPE THIS MATTER WILL BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND ACURA WILL STAND BEHIND ITS REPUTABLE NAME AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

Car battery constantly draining resulting in having to jumpstart the car now every time to turn it on. Had the hands free system disconnected by the dealership over a year ago due to them stating it was drawing on battery however it has not changed and went from occasional need to jumpstart to every time you need to turn on car. Have had two new batteries installed and car looked at by dealership and only issue they found was hands free link drawing on battery so disconnected it.

There is a paracytic battery drain causing new batteries to fail. Troubleshooting says Hands Free Link system may be reason for drain/ dead battery. Or, the Navigation system. There are endless electrical issues within 5 fuse boxes. I’ve done this manually, it’s slow. I know a diagnostic meter would help! So, I’ve installed a battery switch inside car. Must turn off each night! You’d think I’d have a mobile battery charger by now. But thankfully road side service has been a life saver. Although, I was not permitted to sign up for ERS with my insurance after so many battery calls for a year or more. AAA same! It’s ridiculous. Today, had to call ERS again. Ugh. Fortunately I’ve been reinstated. Its been slow-like-molasses-paced.. One fuse disconnected after another. This leaves the vehicle operating without the necessary compenents, helpful features. Examples: x miles per gallon of gas driving city/freeway. . The stereo system completely out, no back up camera, and no Navigation system. All disconnected fuses. No, I don’t have the resources to buy a diagnostic or pay a mechanic $200-300. I’ve been dealing with this nightmare for the last year++. Thankfully, YouTube shows 2006 Acura MDX, Touring series w this drain problem. A huge help! It’s an older car with 240K miles, needs 4 new tires, alignment, both headlamps replaced, . Plus, somehow the rear view mirror got unhooked, torn off, consequently, I’m without the rear back up view. It’s stupid, I realize. Looking at it in hind sight, yes, it’s ridiculous!

IN NOVEMBER 2013 WHILE THE MDX WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND THE WINDOW DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. TWO MONTHS LATER, IN JANUARY 2014, THE IDENTICAL FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR AND THAT WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. IN BOTH CASES A PLASTIC PIECE THAT ANCHORS A CABLE SUDDENLY BROKE IN THE SAME MANNER WITHOUT WARNING. THIS FAILURE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN IMPROBABLE EVENT, GIVEN THESE FACTS. I HAVE RETAINED BOTH BROKEN PARTS AND OFFERED THEM TO ACURA. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT. WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS, THE WINDOW CANNOT BE ROLLED UP. THIS COULD BE A DRIVING HAZARD IF IT OCCURS IN WINDY, FOGGY, AND/OR RAINY WEATHER. BESIDES GREATLY DISTRACTING THE DRIVER, THERE IS NO WAY TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE MOISTURE FROM ENTERING THE CAR. THIS SITUATION MAY CAUSE WINDOWS TO FOG OR BECOME WET ON THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, IMPAIRING VISIBILITY. OBVIOUSLY, THE SECURITY OF THE VEHICLE IS COMPROMISED, AS WELL. *TR

ON WINDOW ROLLUP, REAR WINDOW SLID OUT OF DRIVE MECHANISM AND FELL TO THE BASE BEHIND DOOR PANEL. GLASS DID NOT SHATTER, AND I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER IT BACK INTO POSITION TEMPORARILY TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF DRIVE MECHANISM. NO WEIGHT OR OBSTRUCTION WAS PUT ON WINDOW AS IT WAS BEING ELECTRICALLY CLOSED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME A REAR DRIVE MECHANISM HAS FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE. BOTH OTHER REPLACEMENTS WERE HANDLED UNDER WARRANTY AND GOOD FAITH. THIS UNFORTUNATELY IS GOING TO BE AN OUT OF POCKET FIX TO THE TUNE OF 350 DOLLARS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FLAWED DESIGN AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN BROKEN GLASS, AN UNSAFE SITUATION CONSIDERING MY DAUGHTER WAS IN CAR SEAT NEXT TO WINDOW. *TR

THE CAR STARTED LEAKING WATER EVERY TIME IT RAINS IN THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR INTO THE FLOOR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL POSTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH ACURA AND HONDA.

I FEEL THERE IS A GENERIC PROBLEM FOR ALL ACURA MDXS RELATING TO THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. THE POWER DOOR LOCK IN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR IN MY 2006 ACURA MDX STOPPED LOCKING/UNLOCKING 2,500 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY. I NOW HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOOR. IF I FORGET THE POWER LOCK IN THE DOOR ISN'T WORKING, MY CHILD SITTING NEXT TO THE DEFECTIVE DOOR CAN OPEN IT ANDS FALL OUT OF THE CAR. I'VE BEEN READING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS GENERIC PROBLEM FOR ALL ACURA MDXS. *TR

THE BRAKES MAKE A LOUD CLANKING, CLICKING NOISE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE PADS ARE SHIFTING AND SOMETIMES IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE ABOUT TO TEAR RIGHT OUT OF THE CALIPERS. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WITHIN A WEEK RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND IT HAS BEEN THERE 3 TIMES SINCE IN THE PAST 10 MONTHS AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME ITS NORMAL. THE NOISE IS SO LOUD PEOPLE TUNR AROUND IN PARKING LOTS JUST TO SEE WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM AND WE ARE AFRAID IT IS NOT SAFE. I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *CN

THE BLUE-WHITE HALOGEN LIGHTS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED. THE GLARE IS OVERWHELMING AND DANGEROUS. IT IS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND LIKELY LEADS TO ACCIDENTS, LIKE ANY OTHER DISTRACTION INTERFERES WITH ATTENTIVENESS. THE GLARE IN REAR VIEW MIRRORS CAUSES DRIVERS TO UNNECESSARILY PLACE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IN "NIGHT DRIVING" POSITION, WHICH LIMITS ABILITY TO SEE ORDINARY OBJECTS. *NM

UNKNOWN VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN ON
