2014 Acura MDX service brakes problems

“Upon startup the following warning lights come on and remain active: Brake System Problem, Power Steering Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Problem, Anti-Lock Break System Problem. Additionally, intermittingly a loud grinding noise can be heard from the button of the vehicle.”

“ABS VSA malfunction light comes up constantly and car rattles when brakes are used. It’s constantly turned on even with good road conditions. There are millions of customer complaints on the web about this issue and I believe this should be logged as a major issue which should be logged a recall and offered as a fix to customers who have these car models and issues. My daughter was driving the car and experienced issues on freeway when braking. The car slipped to the side when brakes were pushed and the whole car was shaking and unstable.”

“THE 2014 ACURA MDX HAD A SUDDEN INADVERTENT BRAKING ISSUE WITH SIMULTANEOUS VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ON WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE SCREEN PANEL WAS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN. I HEARD A DEEP SPARKING SOUND (LIKE A MINOR EXPLOSION SOUND). THIS SITUATION HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE AUTO WAS EITHER RUNNING ON A HIGHWAY (60-70 MILE/HOUR) OR ON THE LOCAL DRIVING (20-40 MILE/HOUR) EVEN WITHOUT ANY VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE MDX. IT SEEMS THAT THE ISSUE HAS NO ANY ASSOCIATION WITH WEATHER CONDITIONS.”

“I AM 27 YEARS OLD FEMALE THAT WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND HIS MOM. MY BOYFRIENDS MOM WAS THE DRIVER, I WAS THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. BOTH MY BOYFRIENDS MOM AND I WERE WEARING OUR SEATBELTS. AFTER HANGING OUT FOR THE DAY MY BOYFRIENDS MOM WAS DROPPING US OFF AT HOME AND THAT WAS WHEN IT HAPPENED. AS SHE WAS BACKING UP OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE ACCELERATOR MUST HAVE GOTTEN STUCK BECAUSE THE CAR FLEW ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY DOWN A HILL OVER A BASKETBALL COURT AND DIRECTLY INTO A TREE! THINKS THE VEHICLE WAS GOING 30-40 MPH AND BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I HAD BEEN INJURED AND AFTER GOING TO THE HOSPITAL AND HAVING X-RAYS DONE, THE DOCTORS HAVE SAID I HAVE A FRACTURE (L2) TO MY SPINE. THANK GOD NO SURGERY WAS NEEDED ALTHOUGH IT REALLY SUCKS TO HAVE A COMPRESSED VERTEBRA NOW! THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON JUNE 28, 2017 AND SINCE THE ACCIDENT I HAVE BEEN WEARING A LUMBAR BRACE IN ORDER TO HELP SUPPORT MY SPINE/BACK.”

“THE VEHICLE START SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS OR WITH EMERGENCY BRAKING. BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE SUFFERING AS WELL. THE DEALER REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR UNDER NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY. I PAID FOR THE FRONT ROTORS TO BE RESURFANCED AT 38000 MILES BUT THE PROBLEM IS BACK AT 45000 MILES. THE DEALER IS PERFORMING THE SAME REPAIR BUT CONCERN IS THAT THIS WILL KEEP HAPPENING. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.”

“WHEN DRIVING DOWN A LONG, DOWNHILL SLOPE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE REST OF THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. FROM A SCALE OF 0 TO 10 I WOULD GIVE IT A 6 OR MORE FOR THE SHAKING. IT IS PRETTY BAD. THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS OCCURRED TO MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD. AT THAT TIME I JUST BARELY OWNED IT FOR LESS THAN A YEAR FOR MY ACCORD.”
