POWER WINDOWS AND SUNROOF STARED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN STOPPED WORKING ALL-TOGETHER. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH WIRES BREAKING INSIDE DRIVER DOOR SUB-WIRE, ACURA PART NUMBER 32757-STX-A01. MY CAR ONLY HAS 101,768 MILES. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND I SAW PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR ACURA MDX VEHICLES.

ON THE AFTERNOON OF MAY 11, 2011 I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO CLOSE MY CAR TRUNK HATCH AND MY 13 Y/O DAUGHTER RAN INTO A SHARP EDGE OF THE HATCH CUTTING HER FRONT RIGHT EYE LASH. THERE IS A MANUFACTURER-BUILT SHARP EDGE THAT CAUSED THE CUT. SHOULD THE EDGE HADN'T BEEN IN THAT LOCATION, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE CUT HER EYE LID. WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO THE HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM TO STOP THE BLEEDING AND RESEAL HER EYE LID.

OUR IGNITION TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE SWITCHBLADE KEY WAS ENGAGED. WE WERE ABLE TO STEER THE CAR AND PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE TOOK EVERYTHING OFF THE KEY RING AND RESTARTED THE IGNITION. THE SWITCH BLADE KEY MECHANISM APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED TO BEND OVER TIME. I AM CONCERNED THE IGNITION MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE CHEVY CARS. *JS
