LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT IS EXTREMELY DIM, CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT. CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB DOES NOT SOLVE. HEADLIGHT COVER IS NOT FOGGY OR CLOUDY, IT IS CLEAR. SUSPECTING INTERNAL REFLECTOR ISSUE AS ACURA HAS DONE RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT ON RDX.

On Jan 21, 2025 the drivers side air bag deployed as I was driving. I did not hit or get hit by anyone or anything, I did not run over anything either the airbag deployed on drivers side from the front to the back of my Acura MDX it was sudden it was random Nd damn scary. I was injured from the impact of the air bag ... I have had my car approximately 6 months I am purchasing from Drive now in Wichita, KS and am still making payments on this vehicle..

Vehicle produced a dash warning light for airbag/supplemental restraint system on January 29th or 30th, 2022. Went away and back on again 3 times in the following week. No prior issues related to this. Vehicle has never been in an accident. Acura dealer scanned vehicle 2/5/2022 to find vehicle code 11-11, meaning bad airbag and possibly bad cable reel. No recalls or effort by Acura (contacted by me) to assist with fix. Replacement isn't readily available, nor is a dealer loaner. Part is $1202.75. Vehicle is 2009 with only 89,7XX miles.

I PURCHASED AN ACURA CERTIFIED 2009 MDX BASE WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/L 400 TIRES ON IT. THE QUALITY OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES WERE UNACCEPTABLE. THESE TIRES HAD NO GRIP ON WET ROAD AND ROAD COVERED WITH LIGHT SNOW. THERE WERE MULTIPLE CASES WHEN MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE SKIDDED ON THE HIGHWAY DURING LANE CHANGE. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, I HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. ACURA SHOULD NOT USE BRIDGESTONE TIRES IN ITS VEHICLES. ALSO, FIRESTONE/BRIDGESTONE SHOULD RECALL THESE TIRES AND REFUND MONEY FOR THE REPLACEMENT COST OF MY TIRES. WILL APPRECIATE IF YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. *JS

THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN MY 2009 ACURA MDX HEAD RESTRAINT SYSTEM. I BELIEVE IT HAS RESULTED IN OR CONTRIBUTED TO A NECK INJURY . I HAVE HAD NECK PAIN BAD ENOUGH TO REQUIRE FOUR MONTHS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY AND FIVE SURGICAL PROCEDURES. THE HEAD REST FORCES MY NECK AND HEAD INTO AN UNNATURAL FORWARD POSITION. THE HEAD REST ONLY MOVES UP AND DOWN AND NOT FORWARD AND BACK. I AM UNABLE TO ADJUST THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THE LACK OF ADJUSTABLE IN THE HEAD REST. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD JUST COME ON AND NOT SHUT OFF. WE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS BUT THE WIPERS WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT SO IT CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 ACURA MDX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID ENGAGED ON ITS OWN AND REMAINED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN DIRECTLY TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FUSE TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE DISCONNECTED AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THIS WAS A KNOWN FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS THEN INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER AUTHORIZED DEALER BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS NEEDED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 14,808.

I was driving onto an exit ramp around 50 to 60 mph on Rt 50 yo 495 south and VSA light appeared on dash. Also steering felt extremely loose. No control to steer and could not accelerate either.

ACURA MDX (2009) VIBRATION ISSUES: SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW, THERE IS A VIBRATION DRIVING AT SPEEDS EXCEEDING 70 MPH. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE CHASIS AND STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TIRES, RIMS, DRIVE SHAFT AND PERFORMED MULTIPLE BALANCING AND ALIGNMENTS. THE MANUFACTURER REPRESENTATIVE COULD NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE INITIALLY, BUT LATER SUGGESTED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DRIVE SHAFT. THIS WORKED INITIALLY BUT THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED AGAIN. I FILED A LEMON LAW CLAIM THAT ACURA HAS NEGLECTED TO RESPOND TO FULLY. THEY TRIED TO FIX IT, BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT AND GETTING WORSE. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, IT FEELS AT TIMES, AS IF THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. IT IS OFTEN WORSE WHEN DRIVING UP HILL WHEN THE CAR IS COLD AND THE WEATHER COLD. IT APPEARS TO GET BETTER AS THE CAR WARMS UP, THOUGH. THIS ALSO APPEARS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED CONCERN THAT IS DOCUMENTED ON DISCUSSION BOARDS SUCH AS: EDMONDS- HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX/.F13BAE6?DISPLAYRECENT WHERE THERE ARE CURRENTLY 59 POSTS ON THE TOPIC AND ALL SIMILAR TO MY EXPERIENCE. *TR

No major incidents, hits, or bumps no off roading only drove on city roads and highways. Tread and all rubber on the outside half of the tire has completely seperated from the inner tire on a section.
