2005 ACURA MDX Complaints

STARTING GRINDING AFTER I HAD ALL RECALLS DONE I NOTICED THE VSA LIGHT IS NOW ON AN. DIDNT HAVE ANY ISSUE BEFORE THE VECHICAL AT 25 TO 40 MPH STARTS TO SHUTTER AN MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE ... I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH THE SPECIFIC ABILITY TO KEEP ME SAFE AN HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 ACURA MDX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FAILED TO REMAIN INSERTED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DRIFTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED APPLE ACURA (1202 LOUCKS RD, YORK, PA 17404, (717) 854-1800). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V573000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME HAD NO LIGHT APPEARING. THE VSA LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I SEE IT HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PREVIOUSLY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN SERVICED AND THEY INDICATED THEY HAD. I HAVE A HUGE CONCERN KNOWING THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM AND WHEN I ASKED IF THEY COULD REPAIR IT UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL THAT APPEARS TO NOT HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I SOLD MY HONDA ACCORD COUPE FOR A 4 DOOR THINKING HONDA/ACURA PRODUCTS WERE SAFE AND RELIABLE. I HAVE READ FURTHER ABOUT RECALL PROCESSES AND THEY DON'T ALWAYS FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERSHIP CAN STATE THE RECALL WAS REMEDIED. I HAVE AN INFANT AND THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT A 4 DOOR. I REALLY AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND OTHERS WITH THE SAME SCENERIO IN WHICH THEY HAVE SERVICED THE RECALL AND THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN ONLY TO BE TOLD IT IS A 2K FIX THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I REALLY NEED SOME HELP AT THIS POINT, I AM DRIVING MY INFANT AND WOULD HATE FOR THE CAR TO MALFUNCTION CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. RECALL S87, S88, AND S89. THIS LIGHT APPEARS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 ACURA MDX. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE STEERING LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PAULY ACURA (847-433-8200, LOCATED AT 2699 SKOKIE VALLEY RD, HIGHLAND PARK, IL 60035) WHERE THE RESERVOIR HOSE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,636.

TWO DAYS AGO, MY VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ABOUT 45MPH ON A SIDESTREET. AN UNEXPECTED BRAKING WAS EXPERIENCED WITHOUT ME APPLYING THE BRAKE, VSA LIGHT WENT ON. I HAD EXPERENCED 3 TIMES OF UNEXPECTED BRAKING, VSA LIGHT COMING - FOR THE SAME DAY. SO I DECIDED TO CHANGE INSPECT THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE STILL GOOD BUT I DECIDED TO CHANGE THEM ANYWAY. (FRONT: BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, REAR: BRAKE PADS ONLY TODAY, I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY JUST BEFORE 7AM, WITH A SPEED OF ABOUT 65MPH, SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE MADE AN EXPECTED BRAKING WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE BRAKE. MY VEHICLE ALMOST WENT OUT OF CONTROL FOR A SECOND BUT I WAS ABLE TO HANDLE IT. I NOTICED THAT VSA LIGHT WENT ON - BUT THE ROAD WAS CLEAR, NO BUMPS, NO DEBRIS, JUST PLAIN ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 ACURA MDX. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN ANY GEAR, THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V573000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND JUMPING LIKE BRAKING ON IT'S OWN. WITHOUT MY EVEN TOUCHING MY BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 40 MILES AND MY 2005 ACURA MDX DID THIS. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE A TRUCK WAS COMING BEHIND ME AT ABOUT MORE OR SO 60 TO MILES. I HAD TO LITERALLY VEER OFF TO THE BREAKDOWN DOWN LINE. THIS WAS VERY SCARY. PLEASE FIND A WAY TO CORRECT THIS ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. I AM SO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR PASS 40 MILES ANYWHERE NOW.

I HAVE ACURA MDX 2005 MODEL THE VSA LIGHTS AND AIRBAGSLIGHTS KEEP COMING UP INTERMITTENTLY AND THERE IS A TRANSMISSION SLIPS TOO. I WONDERED WHY IT WAS NOT RECALLED WHEN OTHERS WERE RECALLED .THE VEHICLE STILL MOVES BUT NOTICING A SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION POWER

TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE UNDER INCLINE LOAD DRIVING, LEAVING VEHICLE UNABLE TO MANEUVER IN TRAFFIC TO REASONABLY GET TO SAFETY.

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTS NOT SMOOTHLY, D4/D5 LIGHT BLINKING, WON'T EXCEL WHEN GAS IS APPLIED, HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF, WAIT 5MIN, TO DRIVE FOR TWO BLOCKS BEFORE HAVING TO REPEAT THIS PROCESS TO GET IT HOME 12 BLOCKS AWAY, ONLY WOULD EXCEL 20MPH (BOUGHT IT ON WEDNESDAY, ON TUESDAY OF THE NEXT WEEK, THE PROBLEM BEGAN). THE CAR HAS 127,000 MILES AND HISTORY OF OIL CHANGE/TRANSMISSION SERVICES. AFTER SEEKING ANSWERS, PER REPAIR PAL, THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSIONS WITH ALL YEARS OF THIS MODEL, SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED/REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. PLEASE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE DIES. *TR
