CURRENTLY WITH NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG ACTIVATION IS OFF, MEANING THE AIR BAG IS ACTIVE. I'VE SEEN IT LIGHT UP AS OFF WITH A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

ACURA IS NOT STANDING BY ITS BRAND WITH THE KNOWN FAULTY ACTIVE DAMPER SYSTEM ON CERTAIN ACURA YEARS/MODELS. ACURA REFUSES TO PAY CLAIMS AGAINST ITS OWN POLICY ON THE TSB RELEASED. MY VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ACTIVE DAMPERS AND ALL 4 STRUTS NEED REPLACING AT A COST OF ABOUT $4000. ACURA WILL NOT HELP ME STATING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED MAY 8, 2017. HOWEVER THEY INCLUDE VERBIAGE OF 7 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE REGARDLESS OF DATE, MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED FEB 2011 WELL WITHIN THE 7 YEAR TIME FRAME. AT ANY SPEED GOING OVER BUMPS THE CAR MAKE CLUNKY SOUNDS FRONT AND REAR AND FEELS BOATY, LESS STABLE. THE CONDITION WAS HAPPENING SINCE WINTER, 3 OF 4 STRUTS ARE BLOWN. CAUSING A NEED FOR ALL 4 STRUTS TO BE REPLACED. DIAGNOSED 7/7/2017 BECAUSE I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FIGURED I'D WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE TO DRIVE THE 20 MILES TO MY ACURA DEALER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND ACURA REFUSES CLAIMS FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR MOST PEOPLE WITHOUT CAUSE OR JUSTIFICATION. ACURA TREATS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF AN ACURA OEM PART KNOWINGLY FAULTY AS A FAVOR TO CUSTOMERS AND NOT A RIGHT TO SAFETY.

THERE HAS BEEN A THUMPING NOISE AND OTHER FORMS OF INSTABILITY. EVER SINCE PURCHASE, THIS CAR HAS APPEARED UNSTABLE AND A BIT WOBBLY, WHEN RUNNING OVER A SMALL POTHOLE OR A SMALL BUMP. BUT I ATTRIBUTED THIS TO ITS HEAVY WEIGHT. THE STRUT ASSEMBLY, A VERY EXPENSIVE COMPONENT IN THIS ELEPHANT OF A CAR LEAKS, AS DO HUNDREDS OF OTHER SUCH CARS, ESPECIALLY EARLIER MDX, WITH WHICH IT SHARES MANY PARTS.
