2008 Acura MDX problems

“My car exterior paint has poor quality. It has been for years. It clear coat peeling and bubbling due to poor factory adhesion between paint layers, Fading & Chalking. This happens for so many years ago but I don’t know this happened because the manufacturers problem until recently a friend told me this”

“The clock in the 2008 Acura MDX stopped working over 18 months ago. This occurred after an Acura Day-light-Savings time update. In order to check the time now you have to take your eyes off the road. There are thousands of Acura vehicles with this problem. ACURA REFUSES TO HELP. They state there is no solution to the problem. They caused the problem!”

“I HAVE A MDX WITH SPORT SUSPENSION. I RECENTLY VISITED MY MECHANIC TO DISCOVER THAT BOTH OF MY REAR SHOCKS ARE BLOWN. AFTER LOOKING INTO FIXING IT, I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE PREMATURELY. NOT ONLY IS IT A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE TRIM, THE PARTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, IT SEEMS THE CORE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM MAY BE A FAULTY DESIGN OF THE SHOCKS. MY CONCERN IS REPLACING A FAULTY PRODUCTS WITH ANOTHER FAULTY PRODUCTS, AND EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE ALL OVER AGAIN SHORTY.”

“I was at stoplight waiting to make a right turn and the Check Air Bag System turned on. No accident, just the error came on for no reason. This is safety issue and it should have lifetime warranty! I called the dealer and they told me that its will cost me $295 just to diagnose the error. I feel like this should be recall. I understand that it’s an electronic device and could failed. But it should have lifetime warranty.”

“I WAS DRIVING MY CAR GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR, STOP THE CAR, ACCELERATE AND CUT ON MY BLINKERS. NOTHING IN THE CAR WORKED. I WAS DESPERATE TO GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC FLOW WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED BACK ON. IT DID THIS OFF AND ON AS I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE THERE THEY STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS THE ISSUE. BATTERY WAS REPLACED. VARIOUS INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE CAR STARTED TO FALL APART (SEAT BELTS, AIRBAGS, CAR LIGHTS, CAR KEY, WINDOW SENSORS, DOOR LOCKS, ALARM, NAVIGATION). FOR A TIME THE CAR DROVE BUT WITH VERY STIFF HANDLING. CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR AN ISSUE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A WHIRRING SOUND AT START-UP. EVERYTHING WAS REPLACED TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DOING A HAIL MARY ATTEMPT AT OFFERING RESOLVE. I FINALLY RECEIVED MY CAR BACK TWO WEEKS LATER. THEN HERE WE GO AGAIN, I AM ON THE FREEWAY WITH A BRAND NEW BATTERY INSTALLED BY ACURA WHEN EVERYTHING POWERS OFF YET AGAIN. CAR EVEN BRAKED ITSELF AND I SAW MY LIFE FLASH BEFORE MY EYES. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND TRAFFIC FLOW WAS THICK. I TOOK MY CAR TO ACURA AND CURRENTLY THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR OVER A WEEK.…”

“MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING, IT SEAMS TO SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE.”
