2014 ACURA MDX Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 ACURA MDX. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING FAILURE ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

VEHICLE HESITATES WITH ACCELERATION AND DOES NOT MAINTAIN CONSTANT SPEED. WITH ACCELERATION, THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND THEN LURCHES SUDDENLY. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT VELOCITY, ESPECIALLY GOING UP A SLIGHT GRADE, MOST NOTICEABLY AT 35MPH AND 45MPH.

SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WHILE DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE 83 NORTH OF BALTIMORE MARYLAND. NO TRAFFIC AHEAD WITHIN QUARTER MILE. NO EVIDENCE OF ANY OBJECT STRIKING VEHICLE, NO OTHER DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 55 DEGREES.

THE VEHICLE START SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS OR WITH EMERGENCY BRAKING. BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE SUFFERING AS WELL. THE DEALER REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR UNDER NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY. I PAID FOR THE FRONT ROTORS TO BE RESURFANCED AT 38000 MILES BUT THE PROBLEM IS BACK AT 45000 MILES. THE DEALER IS PERFORMING THE SAME REPAIR BUT CONCERN IS THAT THIS WILL KEEP HAPPENING. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

MY CAR HESITATES (FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL) FREQUENTLY ON ACCELERATION AFTER SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS, ETC. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT, BUT THE PROBLEM DOES EXIST. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT ABOUT 5000 MILES AND CONTINUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 ACURA MDX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND CRASHED INTO A ROD IRON FENCE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,323. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TORQUE CONVERTER RATTLING TYPE NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AT OR NEAR 40 MPH, AND ALSO 60 MPH. DEALER ATTEMPTED FLUID FLUSH AND SOFTWARE UPDATE TO NO AVAIL. RETURNING VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSES AND REPAIRS.

VEHICLE HAS HESITATION/STUTTER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 0 TO AROUND 20MPH. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM, NOT A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN A LONG, DOWNHILL SLOPE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE REST OF THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. FROM A SCALE OF 0 TO 10 I WOULD GIVE IT A 6 OR MORE FOR THE SHAKING. IT IS PRETTY BAD. THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS OCCURRED TO MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD. AT THAT TIME I JUST BARELY OWNED IT FOR LESS THAN A YEAR FOR MY ACCORD.

INTERMITTENT MOTOR NOISE FROM BEHIND DASH WITH RECENT 3 SECOND SIMULTANEOUS STEERING WHEEL LOCKUP RESULTING IN MY LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. REPORTED THE ISSUES TO DEALER TWICE, BUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND CONCLUDED NO ISSUE IN MY CAR.
