TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 ACURA MDX. THE CONTACT HEARD AN INTERMITTENT NOISE BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. WHILE MAKING A TURN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND CAUSED TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL. INITIALLY, THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING MOTOR COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250.

TRAVELING 65 MPH ON A FREEWAY WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) ENGAGED, VEHICLE SUDDENLY BRAKES HARD ON ITS OWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON; DROPPING 10 MPH IN A HEARTBEAT. THE VEHICLE DID NOT PRODUCE A COLLISION WARNING MESSAGE ON THE DASH. THE CARS IN FRONT ON ME WERE WELL BEYOND THE LONGEST 4 BAR RANGE OF THE ACC SO IT WAS NOT DETECTING AND LOCKED ONTO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WERE NO CARS ON EITHER SIDE, NO CAR CROSSING IN FRONT OF ME AND THE ROAD WAS FLAT WITH NO OBSTACLES. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS NOT TAILGATING AS THE SUDDEN DECELERATION COULD HAVE CAUSED A REAR END COLLISION. SUDDEN DECELERATION HAS HAPPENED TWICE DURING THE SIX WEEKS I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ACC IS INCONSISTENT, OFTEN SLUGGISH, IN RESPONDING TO THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC WHEN IT IS DETECTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME; CREATING ADDITIONAL HAZARD CONCERNS FOR THE DRIVER. *TR..UPDATED 05-27-15 *BF UPDATED 8/28/2017*CN

NORTHBOUND I-95, VERO BEACH, FL EXIT 147. PREPARED TO ENTER DECELERATION LANE AT APPROX. 70 MPH, NO PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL, VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW.

I HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD MDX (LESS THAN 5000 MILES). THE CAR IS MAKING GRINDING NOISES AND VIBRATES, INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER HAS DISMISSED MY CLAIMS AND MADE MINOR MODIFICATIONS WITH INSULATION, AND HOODCLIPS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY PRETEND THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, EVEN THOUGH THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS HEARD IT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE CARE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND THEY HAVE HELD MY CAR IN SERVICE FOR OVER 30 DAYS. WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO PICK UP THE CAR LAST NIGHT, THERE WAS NOW A NEW EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE WITH EVERY TIME I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. THE ON-DUTY SALES MANAGER HEARD THE NOISE AND INSISTED THAT I LEAVE THE CAR FOR SERVICE. TODAY, THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THIS NEW ISSUE, AND STILL IGNORING THE OLD ISSUE, WHICH WAS CAUSED WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE PAST MONTH. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY ACURA. THE DEALERSHIP IS ALSO SAYING "THEIR HANDS ARE TIED." I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CALL THEIR NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND THEY HAVE GIVEN ME THE RUN AROUND, INSISTING THAT ALL OF THEIR SUPERVISORS AND CASE MANAGER ARE IN MEETINGS. HOW DO I ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? PLEASE HELP IN THIS MATTER. IF YOU READ ON-LINE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE NEWLY REDESIGNED 2014 MDX, PRODUCED AT A NEW ALABAMA PLANT. ACURA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS MODEL, BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED ON THE ROAD. *TR

OUR VEHICLE IS AN ACURA MDX 2014 WITH THE ADVANCE PACKAGE. ONE FEATURE OF THE PACKAGE IS ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WHICH AIMS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOVING AT A STEADY RATE AND AT A SET DISTANCE FROM ANY VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN VEHICLES IN FRONT OF OURS SLOWS DOWN OR A VEHICLE MERGES FROM ANOTHER LANE IN FRONT OF US (EVEN TRANSIENTLY), INSTEAD OF GRADUALLY BRAKING AND SPEEDING UP, THE ACURA PERFORMS SUDDEN DECELERATION WITH HARD BRAKING EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT IS DOING THE SAME SPEED OR GOING ONLY SLIGHTLY SLOWER. AFTER THE HARD BRAKING STARTS, IF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT SPEEDS UP, OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOVER AND START TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAVE A PREGNANT WIFE WHO IS THE MAIN DRIVER OF THE CAR AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL CAUSE HER TO BE REAR-ENDED. *TR

DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR IS NOT LOCKING PROPERLY, WE HAVE TO USE THE FORCE LIKE A HEAVY TRUCK DOOR. IT'S NOT SAFE WHEN KIDS ARE SITTING INSIDE.

THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT OF UNINTENDED ENGINE REVVING WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 4500 MILES. WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN "REVERSE" AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN, IN AN INSTANT, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY REVVED UP WHILE I WAS STILL HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL FIRMLY AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN "REVERSE". ALARMED, I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO "PARK". THE TRANSITION INTO "PARK" WAS NOT SMOOTH AND THE ENGINE RPM WENT EVEN HIGHER. IT SOUNDED LIKE ONE THIRD OF FULL THROTTLE. MY WIFE WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. ONCE IN "PARK", WE PUT DOWN THE WINDOWS TO HEAR HOW LOUD THE ENGINE WAS REVVING. STILL IN "PARK", I ASKED MY WIFE TO WATCH ME STEP ON AND OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LEAST THREE TIMES, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT RETURN TO IDLE. I THEN KICKED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL IDLE. ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS HAD A "FIELD REPRESENTATIVE" CHECK MY VEHICLE. FOR THE SECOND TIME, ACURA IS CLAIMING THAT NO PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND WITH OUR VEHICLE. *TR

THE 2014 MDX IS NOW EQUIPPED WITH A DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR THAT IS SPLIT VERTICALLY INTO TWO PIECES ONE LARGER AND ONE SMALLER. THE SMALLER MIRROR CREATES THE ILLUSION THAT A PASSING CAR IS CRASHING INTO YOUR VEHICLE. IT IS QUITE DISCONCERTING TO A DRIVER. BOTH MYSELF AND MY SON HAVE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. IT CAUSES A DRIVER TO REACT TO A DANGER THAT DOES NOT EXIST. *TR

THE INCLUDED INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, WHICH IS NOW PREDOMINANTLY CONTROLLED BY A TOUCHSCREEN, IS INCREDIBLY SLOW, LAGGY, AND DANGEROUS TO OPERATE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE, ONGOING FAILURES WITH THIS SYSTEM - EVERY TIME I ENTER THE VEHICLE. AS HONDA/ACURA HAS REMOVED OR REPLACED PRIMARY-OPERATION BUTTONS (32 OUT OF 41, BY THEIR COUNT), THE MANDATE TO USE THE OTHER OPERATIONAL SYSTEM (TOUCHSCREEN AND JOG-DIAL) HAS INCREASED THE RISK OF SAFETY INCIDENTS, EXACERBATED BY A SLOW USER INTERFACE RESPONSE AND OFTEN-FAILING VOICE CONTROL SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER ONCE, AND HAS BEEN WAITING FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR FIVE MONTHS. NEW VEHICLES HAVE AN UPDATED SOFTWARE LOAD, BUT ACURA REFUSES TO INSTALL IT. ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE UPDATES OR A SOLUTION. *TR

MY BRAND NEW MDX HAS HAD ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING ON THE VEHICLE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE. THIS INCLUDES CHECK ENGINE WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING FAILURE, POWER STEERING ISSUE AND POSSIBLY ADDITIONAL WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE DID THIS THE FIRST TIME WHEN I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE AND AT THAT TIME, WAS RESOLVED BY FIXING A LOOSE PLUG. THEN IT DID IT AGAIN WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE MINOR TRIM REPAIRS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2014. THE VEHICLE IS STILL WITH SERVICE AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE WARNING LIGHT ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY ARE IN TOUCH WITH ACURA'S TECH LINE ON THIS AND THEY HOPE IT WILL BE RESOLVED SOON. ADDITIONALLY, I COMPLETED FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS AND NOTED THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING ON THEIR 2014 MDX VEHICLES. HERE IS AN ONLINE REFERENCE THAT I FOUND WHERE OWNERS HAVE POSTED COMMENTS ON THIS: HTTP://WWW.MDXERS.ORG/FORUMS/94-NEW-2014-ACURA-MDX/63666-2014-MDX-ISSUES.HTML. *TR
