Acura MDX 2006 — Problemas reportados

There is a paracytic battery drain causing new batteries to fail. Troubleshooting says Hands Free Link system may be reason for drain/ dead battery. Or, the Navigation system. There are endless electrical issues within 5 fuse boxes. I’ve done this manually, it’s slow. I know a diagnostic meter would help! So, I’ve installed a battery switch inside car. Must turn off each night! You’d think I’d have a mobile battery charger by now. But thankfully road side service has been a life saver. Although, I was not permitted to sign up for ERS with my insurance after so many battery calls for a year or more. AAA same! It’s ridiculous. Today, had to call ERS again. Ugh. Fortunately I’ve been reinstated. Its been slow-like-molasses-paced.. One fuse disconnected after another. This leaves the vehicle operating without the necessary compenents, helpful features. Examples: x miles per gallon of gas driving city/freeway. . The stereo system completely out, no back up camera, and no Navigation system. All disconnected fuses. No, I don’t have the resources to buy a diagnostic or pay a mechanic $200-300. I’ve been dealing with this nightmare for the last year++. Thankfully, YouTube shows 2006 Acura MDX, Touring series w this drain problem. A huge help! It’s an older car with 240K miles, needs 4 new tires, alignment, both headlamps replaced, . Plus, somehow the rear view mirror got unhooked, torn off, consequently, I’m without the rear back up view. It’s stupid, I realize. Looking at it in hind sight, yes, it’s ridiculous!

Car battery constantly draining resulting in having to jumpstart the car now every time to turn it on. Had the hands free system disconnected by the dealership over a year ago due to them stating it was drawing on battery however it has not changed and went from occasional need to jumpstart to every time you need to turn on car. Have had two new batteries installed and car looked at by dealership and only issue they found was hands free link drawing on battery so disconnected it.

The contact owns a 2006 Acura MDX. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and became stiff. In addition, the vehicle stalled, and the brake lights failed to illuminate. The contact stated that the instrument panel warning lights illuminate on and off. The gear stick would not shift gear as needed. In addition, the vehicle stability assist (VSA) warning light was the only warning light that remained illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 281,800.

UNKNOWN VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN ON

On several occasions the vehicle will come to a stop and from that stop will begin to stall-at that point almost completely loosing power and an indicator light on dash indicates that an undefined problem *exclamation mark* Each time, the car almost completely slows to almost a stall out, and the car behind me comes dangerously close to hitting me from behind.

THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR HAS ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. I NOTICE THAT THERE IS TRANSMISSION JUDDER BETWEEN 20-45 MPH

I'M LOOKING OVER RECALLS ON KELLEY BLUE BOOK SITE

AS I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT, I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES AS I AM TURNING MY CAR. THE BRAKES FELT HARD ALL OF A SUDDEN EVEN THOUGH I BARELY APPLIED PRESSURE. THE BREAK PETAL HAD A GRINDING SOUND AND APPLIED EXTREME PRESSURE TO BREAK MY CAR BY ITSELF. IT FELT AS IF MY CAR WAS BEING THROWN FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN PARKING LOTS. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE DRIVING AND GOING DOWN A SMALL HILL ON THE HIGHWAY I BARELY APPLIED THE BREAK BUT THE CAR BREAK FELT HARD AND WEIRD AS I BARELY PRESSED IT. IT FELT AND SOUNDED LIKE A GRINDING LOUD NOISE AND CAUSE MY CAR TO PULL VERY HARD TO THE RIGHT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO THROW ME OFF THE HIGHWAY. THANKFULLY EACH OF THOSE FEW TIMES I WAS DRIVING AROUND 30 MPH. EACH OCCASION THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON AND/OR STARTED BLINKING. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE GARY FORCE ACURA DEALERSHIP IN BRENTWOOD, TN ON AUGUST 9, 2019. THEY PROCEEDED TO DO BREAKDOWN OF MY CAR AND TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW WIRING HARNESS AND CAPACITOR THAT WOULD COST OVER $1500. THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED ON MARCH 13, 2013. MY VSA LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON AND I STILL AM EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS. I CAN NOT AFFORD THESE PARTS FOR MY CAR AND FEEL THAT ACURA SHOULD INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THIS RECALL. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY HUSBAND, AND MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AS SHE HAS STARTED DRIVING AND USING OUR ACURA MDX 2006. NHTSA RECALL 13V-092 MFR CAMPAIGN ID S89 RECALL DATE 3/13/2013

VSA STOPPED WORKING AND WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE IT DOESN'T LIGHT UP. THE VSA LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE SOON AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE.

ON 3/9, I WAS PARKING MY 2006 MDX IN AN INDOOR PARKING GARAGE. ABOUT 15 FEET FROM A WALL, IT TOOK OFF REAL FAST. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKES, BUT IT SLAMMED INTO THE WALL SO HARD. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, SMOKE CAME OUT & THE ALARM WENT OFF UNTIL A PASSERBY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. I COULDN'T STAND UP FOR A FEW MINUTES. MY INSURANCE CO. DECIDED IT WAS TOTALLED & HAD IT TOWED TO OUR HOUSE INSTEAD OF A BODY SHOP, THEN ONLY GAVE ME ITS BOOK VALUE. I STILL HAVE MANY BRUISES ALL OVER MY BODY AND MY NOSE BLED FOR A WHILE AND WAS SWOLLEN FOR A WEEK. THE SEAT BELT CUT INTO MY NECK AND ITS IMPACT LEFT SEVERE BRUISES ON MY CHEST. THE IMPACT MADE BOTH MY REPLACED KNEES BRUISE AND HURT. I HAD LOWER BACK FOR MANY DAYS. POHANKA ACURA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS AN ACURA COMPANY ISSUE. GOOGLE DIDN'T SHOW ANY RECALLS ON ACURA MDX ACCELERATORS. BUT, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD WITH THEIR MDX. WHILE BRAKING, THE CAR GOES FASTER INSTEAD. ON 3/11, AND AFTER MANY LEFT MESSAGES TO ACURA, ACURA FINALLY CALLED. I REQUESTED THAT SOMEONE WILL CHECK THE ACCELERATOR, B4 IT WAS TOWED AWAY. HE SAID I NEEDED TO FIX THE CAR AND BRING IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL NEW STATE. AFTER THAT, ACURA WILL THEN LOOK AT IT AND DETERMINE IF THE ACCELERATOR HAD ISSUES. I'M VERY RELIEVED I DIDN'T DIE. I'M STILL NOT SURE IF I MIGHT DEVELOP ANY PERMANENT PHYSICAL PROBLEMS FROM THIS ACCIDENT. THE SHOCK, TRAUMA AND INJURIES WERE UNNECESSARY. I'M ALSO VERY GLAD I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE. I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LIVE WITH MYSELF. I WASN'T PREPARED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR NOW. I WAS PLANNING ON KEEPING IT FOR AT LEAST 2 MORE YEARS. BESIDES LOSING MY CAR, I WAS EXPOSED TO EXTREME DANGER, STRESS, FEAR AND PHYSICAL HARM, BECAUSE OF THE THE NEGLIGENCE ON ACURA'S PART. I HOPE THIS MATTER WILL BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND ACURA WILL STAND BEHIND ITS REPUTABLE NAME AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ACURA MDX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND, AS A RESULT, REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 202,185.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ACURA MDX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND POWER STEERING PUMP. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING RACK HAD AN INTERNAL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY DAVID MCDAVID ACURA PLANO (4051 W PLANO PKWY, PLANO, TX 75093, 972-964-6150) UNDER THE CONTACT'S INDEPENDENT WARRANTY. AFTERWARDS, THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE HAD AN INTERNAL LEAK. ALTHOUGH THE STEERING WHEEL FUNCTIONED NORMALLY, THE SAME DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,650.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ACURA MDX. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE, REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. MOMENTS LATER, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED BACKWARDS APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT CRASHED INTO A BARRIER POLE. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POOPING SOUND. A DIAGNOSIS WAS DONE AT PEP BOYS, RALEIGH NC AND I WAS TOLD THE NUMBER ONE SPARK PLUG EXPLODED AND THEREFORE MESSED UP THE COIL. I WAS TURNING ON A CITY STREET.

ACURA A DIVISION OF HONDA HAS KNOW FOR MANY YEARS NOW ABOUT A DEFECTIVE DRAW ON THE BATTERY FROM THE HANDS FREE BLUETOOTH IN THIS VEHICLE EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF WITH THE IGNITION KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM THE 2004 TO 2012 MODELS OF ALL TYPES OF ACURA MODELS. I HAVE INSTALLED TWO NEW BATTERIES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. VEHICLE SETS MORE THAN TWO DAYS AND THE BATTERY IS DRAWN DOWN ENOUGH THAT VEHICLE NOT ONLY NOT START, BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN GET VEHICLE OUT OF PARK POSITION SO YOU CAN BE TOWED OR PULLED OFF THE ROAD SAFELY UNLESS YOU DRAG IT LOCKED UP. AND YES THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHAT IF YOU LOSE BATTERY POWER FOR SOME REASON GOING DOWN THE ROAD? VERY DANGEROUS TO YOU AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ACURAS, HONDA AS MANY YEARS AS THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED AND AS MANY TYPES OF VEHICLES THAT I'M HEARING THIS PROBLEM IS BEING REPORTED ON. I ALSO HAVE READ ONE ARTICLE ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA MOTOR COMPANY FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM FROM A INDIVIDUAL IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. ITS TIME IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THAT ACURA - HONDA MOTORS OWN UP TO THIS MISTAKE WHEN WHEN IT GOES BACK SO FAR AND SO MANY TYPES OF VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE STOPPED ON THE ROAD BECAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, BATTERY WAS REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE OF BLUETOOTH BOARD FAILURE, ALWAYS HAVE RANDOM MISSFIRE CODES ON ENGINE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

I AM THE OWNER OF THIS AUTOMOBILE & HAD THIS MATTER TAKEN CARE OF SUMMER 2016. I TOOK IT TO SUPERIOR ACURA OF DAYTON; 60 LOOP RD. CENTERVILLE, OHIO 45459. BUSINESS # (937)435-5115. THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE. I'M SURE SOMEONE THERE WILL BE ABLE TO CALL HERE & CLARIFY. MY NAME IS [XXX].

RE: AMERICAN HONDA FAILED TO REPLACE UNSAFE AIRBAG AND REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITIES ON JULY 9, 2016, WE TOOK OUR 06' ACURA MDX TO LOCAL DEALER FOR THE UNSAFE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT (NHTSA RECALL 16V-334). THE DEALER INFORMED US THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLACE THE AIRBAG DUE TO AN UNKNOWN WIRING OBSTRUCTING THE AIRBAG (EXHIBITS A, B). THEY WANTED TO CUT THE WIRING FOR AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG. WE REFUSED THEIR IDEA OF CUTTING THE UNKNOWN WIRE, BECAUSE IT MAKES NO SENSES WHEN NO ONE KNOWS THE OUTCOMES IS GOING TO AFFECT VEHICLE SAFETY OR FUNCTIONALITY. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND TO OUR BEST KNOWLEDGE NO ONE HAS EVER SERVICED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THUS, IT IS REASONABLE TO SUSPECT THIS MIGHT BE A RARE DEFECT. WE CONTACTED HONDA TO EXPLAIN THIS UNUSUAL SITUATION, RECEIVED A CASE #04828622; WE SENT AN EMAIL WITH ALL THE DETAILS (EXHIBITS C). WE HAD BEEN WAITING AND FOLLOWING UP, BUT HONDA MADE NO PROGRESS UNTIL WE EXPRESSED OUR EXTREME ANGER AFTER ONE YEAR OF ANXIOUS WAITING. FINALLY, OUR CASE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT 'AIRBAG RECALL DEPARTMENT' AROUND JULY, 2017. HOWEVER, THIS HAS BEEN PLAYING THE GAME OF 'THIS AIRBAG RECALL DID NOT EXIST LAST YEAR', 'NOT RETURNING PHONE CALL AS SHE PROMISED', AND 'SENDING A NONSENSE LETTER TO CONFIRM THAT OUR AIRBAG IS UNSAFE!'. EVENTUALLY, WE HAVE GOTTEN VERY FRUSTRATED AND ALSO BEING WORRY ABOUT OUR OWN SAFETY WITH THE DANGEROUSLY DEFECTED AIRBAG. WE TOOK THE 06' ACURA MDX TO THE DEALER AGAIN; HOWEVER, ACURA DEALER WANTS ALMOST $300 FOR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY COULDN'T REPLACE THE AIRBAG WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE OF REPLACING THE UNSAFE AIRBAG! WE HOPE NHTSA WOULD IMMEDIATELY START TO INVESTIGATE THIS CASE, AND AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD BE SEVERELY PUNISHED DUE TO THEIR EGREGIOUS CONDUCTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ACURA MDX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A SCHOOL PARKING LOT WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING, A SCHOOL COACH JUMPED INTO THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO APPLE TREE ACURA DEALER IN ASHEVILLE NC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT, IT ROLLED AWAY INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FENDER OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AND THE REAR TAILGATE OF THE OTHER VEHICLE WERE DAMAGED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC (MYERS), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE BODY DAMAGE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V573000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS DONE AND THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

THE SUV WAS JUST BROUGHT IN FOR A JUDDER FROM THE FRONT END TO THE LOCAL ACURA/ HONDA IN TOWN WHERE WE RESIDE AND THEY CLAIM ITS THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAILING WELL AFTER SOME RESEARCH WE NOTICED THERE WAS RECALLS AND A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM JUST MAKING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE DEALER STATES WE HAVE TO PAY 5000 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I FEEL WE SHOULD BE EITHER GIVEN A DISCOUNT OR THEY SHOULD COVER THE COST DUE TO IT BEING AN ONGOING THING WITH PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF THESE ACURA MDX . I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF FORUMS WHERE THEY PAY 75% OF COST FOR SOME AND 100% FOR OTHERS BUT NOT AFTER THE DEALERS TRY TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR IT. MOST OF THEM LIKE THIS ONE HAVE ALREADY HAD THE PROBLEM AND HAD IT FIXED IF NOT ONCE SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT A TORQUE CONVERTER CAN LOCK UP AND IN A AWD VEHICLE THAT WOULD MOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND ALL THE DEALER SAYS IS TO KEEP HAVING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED OR PAY 5000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I ALSO HAVE A HONDA ACCORD THAT HAD RECALLS FOR EXPLODING AIRBAGS AND IT TOOK MONTHS FOR THEM TO FINALLY GET IT IN FOR THE RECALLS. THE ACURA MDX ALSO SAYS BY THE VIN ON ACURA.COM IT HAS 4 RECALLS BUT THEY SAY AT THE DEALER IT DOESNT. I HAVE SEEN AND SPOKE WITH MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE VICTIMS OF THESE BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES, ACURA THAT HAVE ALL THE SAME ISSUES . EVERY TIME WE GO TO HAVE AN ISSUE LOOKED AT OR ADDRESSED THEY TRY TO HAVE US HAVE OTHER IRRELEVANT ISSUES FIXED INSTEAD OF THE LIFE THREATENING ONES OR SAFETY RECALLS TAKING CARE OF. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP.

MY MDX VSA RANDOMLY CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 65 IN NASHVILLE CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN A VSA RECALL AND UNFORTUNATELY MINE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. THE ENTIRE VSA SYSTEM IN THESE VEHICLES NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES SAFE.

WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET ACURA TO ACT ON THIS AIRBAG RECALL, BUT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE THIS PAST SUMMER. WE ONCE LIVED A MERE 20 MINUTES FROM A DEALERSHIP, BUT NOW WE HAVE SINCE MOVED WHERE THERE IS NOT A DEALERSHIP WITHIN OUR STATE. IT WAS ARRANGED FOR A HONDA DEALERSHIP TO ASSIST US, BUT ACURA HAS BALKED ON ASSISTING US WITH OUR 2.5 OF TRAVEL TIME TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DESPITE OFFERING TO PAY FOR TRANSPORTATION COSTS OR A RENTAL CAR, BUT WE CONTINUE TO WAIT. WE ARE DRIVING DANGEROUSLY WITH THESE DAMAGED AIR BAGS THAT CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY, AND ACURA HAS BEEN NEGLECTFUL IN THEIR RESPONSE AND DISINGENUOUS IN THEIR WANT TO ASSIST.

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 14V-351 REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG. I CONTACTED SOUTH COAST ACURA IN COSTA MESA, CA AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS LATER I CALLED TO FIND THE STATUS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS HAD STILL NOT ARRIVED. IN ADDITION, I CALLED MISSION VIEJO ACURA IN MISSION VIEJO, CA TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE PARTS AVAILABLE. NOT ONLY WAS I INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE, BUT THAT REPLACEMENT OF THE PARTS WAS HIGHER PRIORITY IN STATES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY. I READ THE RECALL, AND IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT STATES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY. I THINK I AM BEING LIED TO BY THESE ACURA DEALERSHIPS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY COMPLAINT INVESTIGATED.THE RECALL CLEARLY SAYS THE DEFECT COULD KILL OR INJURE PEOPLE, AND I DON'T BELIEVE ACURA IS TAKING SUFFICIENT MEASURES TO MAKE SURE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO ENSURE MY SAFETY.

WHEN CRUISING 20-30 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHUTTER OR MAKE LOUD GRINDING NOISES AND VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE. DEALER COULDN'T DUPLICATE NOISE AND NOTHING WAS DONE UNTIL 2014. TRANSMISSION OIL WAS CHANGED AND IF PROBLEMS COMES BACK, THEY WOULD CHANGE IT. PROBLEM CAME BACK AND NOW MAKES TREMBLING NOISE AND FEEL IT WHEN REACHING SPEED OF 49 EXACTLY AND 1500RPM, DURING SHIFTING GEARS AND COULD GET STUCK. DEALER STATED IS NORMAL SOUND. NOW I HAVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CODE P0706, WHICH IS OPEN IN TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH CIRCUIT PROBABLE CAUSE. SEARCHED AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS YEAR MODEL, ACURA MDX 2006, HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS AND NO RECALLS. CAR MAKES NOISE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK GETS STUCK DOING THIS UNTIL I ACCELERATE OR BRING DOWN THE SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINS WITH THIS ISSUE, AN ACURA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY OR THE VEHICLE GETS STUCK TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS. *TR

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

LIKE OTHERS WITH THE 06 MDX I HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THE "JUDDER" AS HONDA CALLS THEM FROM THE TORQUE CONVERTER CAUSED THIS EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE FIX. THIS BECAME AN ISSUE AS THE VIBRATIONS FROM THE BAD MOTOR MOUNTS DAMAGED THE FRONT RIGHT HALF SHAFT/AXIAL AND I WAS TOLD I WAS VERY LUCKY IT DID NOT BREAK WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
