2005 ACURA MDX Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 ACURA MDX. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STARTED MOVING TO THE TO RIGHT AND THEN TO THE LEFT INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (ACURA OF WICHITA, 10950 E 13TH ST N, WICHITA, KS 67206) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE YAH RATE SENSOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO GO TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

THE CAR JUMPS INTO NEUTRAL AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IF YOU COME TO A STOP OR EVEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC IT WILL JUST STOP AND THE RPM WILL REV UP. YOU WILL HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN PLACE IN NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK IN DRIVE AND IT MAY GO OR MAY NOT GO... REALLY JUST DEPENDS ON HOW THE CAR WANTS TO ACT THAT DAY. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, CITY STREET, PARKING LOT, HIGHWAY, WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, LOW SPEEDS DURING SCHOOL ZONE OR RESIDENTIAL AREA.

THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT IT MAY NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM HAVING SEVERE DIFFICULTY IN ACURA COMPLETING THE RECAL/REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. IN JULY, MY SON BROUGHT THE CAR (WITH AN APPOINTMENT) TO PAULY ACURA IN HIGHLAND PARK, IL. HE WAS TOLD WHEN HE WENT IN THAT HE NEEDED THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE OR THEY COULD NOT DO THE REPLACEMENT. HE LEFT. WHEN I SENT IT TO HIM, HE WENT TO PAULY AGAIN BUT WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE WE DID NOT PURCHASE THE MDX AT THAT DEALERSHIP. HE LEFT. IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE. MY SON HAS THE VEHICLE WITH HIM AT SCHOOL IN OXFORD,MS. THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP IS OVER 90 MINUTES AWAY. I CONTACTED ACURA CUSTOMER SERVICE'S 800 NUMBER. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A REP, THEY AGREED THAT DUE TO THE ISSUES SURROUNDING THE DEALERSHIP IMPROPERLY TURNING AWAY MY SON IN JULY, HIS BEING UNDER 25 AND THIS NOT ELEIGIBLE FOUR A LOANER, AND THE DIFFICULTY FOR A FULL TIME STUDENT WITH A JOB TO MAKE THE TRIP, THEY WOULD ARRANGE A TECH TO COME TO HIS SCHOOL RESIDENCE TO DO THE REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS IN MARCH. MY SON HAS HAD REPEATED PHONE CALLS WITH THE ACURA REP AND HAS RECEIVED SEVERAL EXCUSES WHY IT HAS NOT HAPPENED. HE HAS NOW BEEN REFERRED TO A NEW SERVICE REP WHO TOLD HIM IT'S NOT ACURA'S PROBLEM THAT HE CAN'T GET TO A DEALERSHIP AND IS TOO YOUNG FOR A LOANER. FURTHER, THE REP INFORMED HIM THAT THE AIRBAG IS NOT REALLY A PROBLEM, JUST DON'T HAVE ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT! ACURA HAS BEEN EXTREMELY NEGLIGENT IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE AND WE HAVE NOWHERE TO TURN FOR HELP. PLEASE ADVISE.
