  SINCE ABOUT FEBRUARY 2010 THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST SYSTEM WILL RANDOMLY ACTIVATE DURING PERIODS OF PROLONGED HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS CONDITION USUALLY HAPPENS ON DRY PAVEMENT AND WITHOUT WARNING. IT FEELS LIKE ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT BRAKE IS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE SWERVES TO THE RIGHT UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONDITION HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS VERY FRIGHTENING. I HAVE HAD THE ACURA DEALER TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM MANY TIMES WITH NO RESULTS. THE MOST RECENT TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS EARLY DECEMBER 2013. I IMMEDIATELY DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT AN ACURA DEALER AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY LATERAL ACCELERATION SENSOR. UNFORTUNATELY THIS PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND IS ON INDEFINITE BACKORDER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS NEARLY CAUSED HARM TO MYSELF AND OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO MY OUT OF CONTROL VEHICLE. I AM NOW WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION UNTIL ACURA IS ABLE TO GET THE PART BACK IN STOCK. ACURA OF AMERICA HAS REFUSED TO EVEN LOG AND FILE MY COMPLAINT LET ALONE ASSIST ME WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND HARDSHIP. *TR

• 11/25/2014· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN,VISIBILITY,EQUIPMENT

  OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, BEGINNING ABOUT THE DATE AND VEHICLE MILEAGE STATED ABOVE, I EXPERIENCED A SHUDDER AND CORRESPONDING NOISE AS THE TRANSMISSION TRIED TO SHIFT GEARS. SIMILAR TO THE SENSATION OF DRIVING ACROSS CLOSELY-SPACED RUMBLE STRIPS, THE SHUDDER AND NOISE SEEMED TO VARY IN LENGTH OF TIME DEPENDING ON SPEED. THIS OCCURRED MANY TIMES BEFORE I BECAME CONCERNED AND STARTED RESEARCHING DURING WHICH I FOUND DOZENS OF SIMILAR ACCOUNTS IN VARIOUS ON-LINE FORUMS. EVENTUALLY I TOOK MY MDX TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS. DISAPPOINTINGLY SIMILAR TO MANY ACCOUNTS I READ ON THE INTERNET, AND DESPITE MY DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM, THE ACURA DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, FURTHER NOTING ALL 19 ITEMS ON THEIR MULTI-POINT INSPECTION REPORT AS "CHECKED AND OK", INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION. SOON THEREAFTER, THE DRIVE TRAIN COMPLETELY FROZE UP AS I DISCOVERED AFTER STARTING THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY (THANKFULLY, NOT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR). DESPITE USING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LOCK RELEASE BUTTON (COINCIDENTALLY -?- THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL FOR WHICH I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM ACURA), THE CAR REMAINS IMMOBILE BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND PUT IT INTO GEAR TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS. MY LOCAL ACURA DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE TO MY NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND CALLS ATTEMPTING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE WATER PUMP, TIMING BELT, AIR CONDITIONER, MOTOR MOUNT, FRONT AXLE SEAL, REAR HVAC BLOWER TRANSISTOR ALL FAILED. UPADTED 03/11/15

• 11/18/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I OWN A 2004 ACURA MDX WITH APPROX. 58,000 MI. THE PROBLEM I'M EXPERIENCING IS WHEN EVER I TRY TO FUEL THE VEHICLE IT EITHER STOPS AUTOMATICALLY AFTER ABOUT 0.2 GAL OR IT OVERFLOWS ONTO THE BODY AND TIRES ALSO AFTER ABOUT0.2 GAL. I NOTICED IT ABOUT 6-8 WEEKS AGO, SO I STARTED GOING TO A DIFFERENT GAS STATION WHERE IT WOULD FILL WITHOUT PROBLEMS, BUT JUST IN THE LAST WEEK, IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO. I FEEL THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT ANY FUEL SPILL IS HAZARDOUS, LET ALONE IF IT SPILLS ONTO THE REAR TIRE WHEN THE BREAKS ARE HOT ON A HOT SUMMER DAY AND I JUST GOT OUT OF A TRAFFIC JAM WHERE I WAS CONSTANTLY HAVING TO BREAK. ALL THOUGH I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER MDX OWNERS ON VARIOUS ON-LINE FORUMS, ACURA HAS YET TO MAKE A RECALL FOR THIS AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

• 11/10/2004· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FREQUENTLY BLINKS AND THE CAR OCCASIONALLY MISFIRES WHILE THE CAR IS ACCELERATING OR UNDER HEAVY ENGINE LOAD (E.G., ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY OR DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS). THESE CONDITIONS APPEAR TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY THE WHETHER IS COOL AND DAMP. WHEN THE VEHICLE MISFIRES, THE ENGINE HESITATES AND VARIOUS DASHBOARD WARNING INDICATORS LIGHT. THE ENGINE HESITATION AND DISTRACTION FROM THE WARNING LIGHTS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE MERGER INTO TRAFFIC.

• 10/26/2010· POWER TRAIN

  MY 2004 ACURA MDX HAS BEEN MAKING A GRINDING NOISE (AS IF GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS) WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 35 MPH ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON A CURVE. THE POHANKA ACURA DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAULTY. THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS LISTED NUMEROUS TIMES ONLINE FOR THE 2004 MDX. ACURA HAS NOT PLACED A RECALL APPARENTLY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SEE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY WILL NOT ADMIT TO HAVE USED A FAULTY PART IN BUILDING THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS PRACTICE. WHERE IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY RAVE ABOUT? THEY ARE ASKING FOR OVER $3K TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. I AM GOING TO RESEARCH SOME OTHER AVENUES BEFORE I MAKE MY FINAL DECISION. *TR

ITS AFFECTS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ENGINE, AND IS WEARING OUT THE AUTO-TRANSMISSION QUICKLY. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IF ITS AS PREVALENT AS IT SEEMS?

  I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW ACURA MDX FROM BILL VINCE SHOWROOM IN BRIDGEWATER, NJ. I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE CARS PERFORMANCE UNTIL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. WHEN THE CAR HIT 75,000 MILES, THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION IN THE NEAR FUTURE.' THE SERVICE MANAGER DID NOT PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT THAT TIME. NOW, THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AS IT IS SLIPPING GEARS AND SOUNDS TERRIBLE WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELING BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MILES PER HOUR. IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED ACURA CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY ARE READY TO GIVE ME 50% OFF ON A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR
