2007 Acura MDX problems

“The driver's seat wiring harness on my daughter's 2007 Acura MDX has failed under normal operating conditions. The physical adjustment and movement of the driver's seat causes the factory wiring harness to over-tension and fracture internally. This has resulted in an intermittent, escalating failure of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), throwing diagnostic trouble code DTC 71-11 ("open circuit in the driver's seat position sensor"). This is a known manufacturer engineering defect documented under Acura Technical Service Bulletin TSB 11-023. This defect poses an immediate safety hazard because the vehicle's computer automatically disables the driver's side airbag safety deployment when the circuit loses connection. The manufacturer is currently refusing to cover the repair due to the age of the vehicle, despite it being a critical safety-restraint system failure that leaves the driver unprotected in a collision. (The exact date of first onset is estimated, as this safety defect is an ongoing, intermittent electrical failure that began several months ago but only recently became more frequent. We also were originally unaware that the airbag warning light…”

“I HAVE A MULTIPLE CLUNKING SOUNDS THAT OCCUR ON EVERY BUMP OR WHEN DRIVING ON IROUGH SURFACES!!!! I HAVE TAKEN THE MDX IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THE BUSHINGS ARE GOOD ON THE TIE RODS ETC..I AM NOW REPLACING THE TIRES AGAIN DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME!! I JUST READ ABOUT A STRUT RECALL TO DAY ON THE INTERNET.. I NEVER RECIEVED ANY NOTICE... THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A YEAR!! I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE FRONT UNDERCARRIAGE GUARD THAT HAS A CRACK IN IT FLEXING, MAKING THE NOISE&#128556.”

“THE RADIO AND NAVIGATION INTERMITTENTLY GO ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING.MY ABS,CHECK EMISSION SYSTEM,SHAW-D WILL GO OFF. CAR WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE IM DRIVING AND I LOSE ALL POWER. I LOSE POWER TO LOCKS, WINDOWS AND BACK HATCH. SOME DAYS WHEN STARTING THE CAR IT WONT TURN OVER AND START UP. SOMEDAYS AFTER DRIVING AND I TURN THE CAR OFF, I LOSE ALL POWER. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL JUMP INTO GEAR AS I AM ACCELERATING.”

“MY 2007 ACURA MDX IS EXPERIENCING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP. ACURA ISSUED AN EXTENSION ON THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THAT EXTENSION ONLY LASTED SEVEN YEARS. AS SOMEONE WHO ACQUIRED THE CAR AFTER 2014 I WAS AUTOMATICALLY NOT QUALIFIED IN THIS COMMON PROBLEM. ACURA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR OTHER MODEL CARS BUILT IN THIS SAME YEAR USING THE SAME POWER STEERING PUMP. YET THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 12V222000 DOES NOT INCLUDE MODEL MDX. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW "WHY" MDX WAS NOT ALSO PART OF THE RECALL SEEING AS THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, AND PARTS USED FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP, HOSES, AND SEALS.”

“TAKATA RECALL: I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, I WAS MAILED A HARD COPY OF AN AIRBAG SETTLEMENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT INVOLVING HONDA MOTORS AND TAKATA. I HAVE THE NOTICE IN MY POSSESSION, CITING MY VEHICLE AS ONE OF THE DECLARED RECIPIENTS WITHIN THE SETTLED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I AM SIMPLY CONDUCTING MY DUE DILIGENCE IN REPORTING MY VEHICLE AS IT HAS BECOME MY PROPERTY AND HENCE, MY NEW PROBLEM.”

“WHILE DRIVING SOME LIGHTS IN PANEL START LIGHTING UP, GPS TURNS OFF, ENGINE RUNNING BUT WONT ACCELERATE AND AFTER FEW SECONDS WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. TOOK TO ACURA THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICTEST BUT CAN'T FIND NO ISSUE. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING. NEED ACURA TO ACT ON THIS.”
