THE AIRBAG LIGHT WARNING CONTINUES TO COME ON AND STAY ON. SOMETIMES IS GOES OFF, BUT COMES BACK ON LATER. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER IN CHARGE OF AIRBAG RECALL AND THE ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED WAS PAYING A HEFTY FEE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE WITHOUT GUARANTEE. THIS WAS REPORTED IN 2014 AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM BEFORE THIS AND CURRENTLY, 2019.

THE HEADLIGHTS FOG OVER TO THE POINT OF SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISHING EFFECTIVENESS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE ACURA DEALER WHO ONLY OFFERS TO CHARGE EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS FOR A NON-GUARANTEED SOLUTION AND CLAIMS THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THEY SEE IN THIS CAR. HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR FROM REGULAR DAILY DRIVING THAT SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF THESE CARS SUFFER FROM THIS PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN CLEANED AS RECOMMENDED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS WITHOUT SUCCESS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FROM 2013 TO CURRENT 2019.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ABOUT 35 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD THE CAR TOWED. THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, INITIALLY I HAD THE RADIATOR REPLACED AND HAD THE CONTAMINATED FLUID FLUSHED AND REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. I DROVE THE CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS THINKING THAT HAD TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM- IT DID NOT!! I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 103,764 MILES. THE TOTAL COST TO ME FOR BOTH REPAIRS WAS $4519.09. NOW I AM FINDING OUT THAT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND I FEEL THAT ACURA SHOULD HAVE RECALLED ALL OF THE 2004 ACURAS AND SHOULD PAY OR IN THE VERY LEAST HELP WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. *TR

I HAVE AN ACURA 2004 MDX. 111,000 MILES. SERVICED AS DIRECTED. JUST REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM. ACURA HAD RECALLS BUT CLAIMED TO HAVE "FIXED" THE ISSUE. THERE IS NO WAY A PROPERLY MAINTAINED CAR SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL DONE. THE MAINSHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THE MECHANICS THAT DID THE WORK ARE EX ACURA MECHANICS. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS THE EXACT KINDS OF PROBLEM THEY REPLACED FOR YEARS ON MDX'S. I HAD TO HAVE AN ENTIRE NEW TRANSMISSION WITH MAIN SHAFT AND TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED. THIS COST ME $3,558.02. THIS IS WRONG. A CAR, ESPECIALLY A HIGH END CAR LIKE ACURA, SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE AN ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 111K MILES. IT WAS UNETHICAL OF ACURA TO NOT ADVISE ME OF THIS HISTORY BEFORE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD APPLY BRAKES SECONDS BEFORE THE VSA LIGHT AND TRIANGLE LIGHT SHOWS UP. BOTH LIGHTS WILL STAY ON UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AND GETTING LOUDER AND THE BRAKING MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED. IF ROADS ARE SLIPPERY THE VEHICLE WOULD SKID. DEALER FIRST BLAMED IT ON SOME SENSOR FLUID. AFTER SPENDING OVER $400 THEY NOW THINK ITS THE YAW SENSOR. I STRONGLY DO NOT THINK THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED MORE THAN A YEAR AGO.

I DISCOVERED SEVERE FRAME RUST UNDER MY REAR BUMPER COVER. LARGE CHUNKS OF RUSTED METAL ARE EASILY PULLED OFF BY HAND. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE ABILITY OF THE BUMPER/FRAME TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY TO MY FAMILY IN THE EVENT OF A REAR COLLISION. THE PICTURES I'VE SUBMITTED ARE AT LEAST THREE YEARS OLD. I SUSPECT THE SITUATION HAS DETERIORATED SINCE THEN. THESE WERE THE PICS I SUBMITTED TO ACURA AT THAT TIME, WHEN THEY INFORMED ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING AS MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I'VE SINCE FOUND REPORTS OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR RUST PROBLEMS ON THEIR ACURA MDX AS WELL AS HONDA PILOTS, WHICH I BELIEVE SHARE THE SAME FRAME ASSEMBLY'

TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUES. LOOKS LIKE THE WIDELY KNOWN COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION ISSUE IN HONDA PILOTS AND ACURA MDX. MY ACURA MDX 2004 CLEARLY HAS THE GRINDING SOUND (INTERMITTENT) WHEN DRIVING 35-40 MPH. THE ISSUE WAS KNOWN BY ACURA IN APR 2004 (RECALL), WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN MAY 2004 AND WERE NEVER TOLD. WE NOW HAVE 150K MILES ON IT BUT WE HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FOR A WHILE - WHEN ASKING THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HEAR IT (IT IS INTERMITTENT) AND IGNORED IT - YES, IT IS COMMONLY KNOWN TO CAR OWNERS BUT NOT THE DEALERSHIPS. I NOW HAVE MY KIDS DRIVING THIS CAR BUT AS OF TODAY I WILL TAKE IT BACK AND GIVE THEM MY OTHER CAR. NOT SAFE FOR THEM TO DRIVE IT. I KNOW I HAVE A LOT OF MILES ON MINE, BUT THE ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN BY ACURA OFFICIALLY SINCE 2004. IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. WHAT TO DO - RECALL IS CLOSED, CLASS ACTION IN CA IS CLOSED, DEALERS AND ACURA/HONDA IGNORING IT. HELP PLEASE.
