2009 Acura MDX Complaints

ENGINE OIL PUMP (PREMATURE FAILURE) - I OWN A 2001 TL AND 2009MDX. ON THE MDX, I HAVE FOUND PREMATURE FAILURE OF OIL PUMP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 8000 MILES PER YEAR AND FAILED AT 85000 MILES. A LEAK OVER TIME COULD RESULT IN ENGINE CEASING. ON THE TL, IT TOOK 225000 MILES TO REPLACE THE OIL PUMP.

MY MDX HAS ONLY 62,400 MILES AND TODAY I GOT A MESSAGE "CHECK STARTER SYSTEM" DUE TO THE HFL MODULE IS DRAINING THE BATTERY. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS IN MY GARAGE AT THE TIME. I HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY SO I COULD START THE CAR. ALL THE INFO I HAVE READ ONLINE STATES THE THE HFL MODULE GETS REAL HOT AND CAN CAUSE FIRE. MY GARAGE IS UNDER MY BEDROOM. THIS IS A PART MADE BY JOHNSON CONTROLS, ACURA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ITEM.

BLUETOOTH STOPPED WORKING AND A FEW WEEKS LATER, MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE CAR STALLED ON ME AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY SPOT!!!!! I WENT TO THE ACURA DEALER AND EXPLAINED TO THE GUY THAT MY BATTERY KEPT DRAINING. HE ASKED ME IF MY BLUETOOTH STOPPED WORKING, I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I HADN'T MENTIONED ANY ISSUES WITH MY BLUETOOTH BUT I LET HIM KNOW THAT IN FACT, THE BLUETOOTH HAD STOPPED. THE REP SAID IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE. HAD TO REPLACE THE BLUETOOTH AND PAID $600!!!! MY FRIENDS SISTER HAS THE SAME MAKE CAR AND HER BLUETOOTH STOPPED WORKING AND HER CAR BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD. IT'S VERY SCARY SINCE APPARENTLY I MUST HAVE STARTED THE CAR RIGHT BEFORE THE BATTERY DIED AGAIN. IMAGINE WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF IT HAD STALLED ON A HIGHWAY OR A BUSY STREET!

NOT SURE IF THIS RELATED TO TAKATA AIRBAGS. MY WIFE WAS IN BAD ROLLOVER ACCIDENT INVOLVING A 2009 ACURA MDX ON NOV 5, 2015. AT 5:15 PM ON 11/5, THURSDAY, IT WAS DARK AND RAINING AS SHE WAS HEADING EAST ON US ROUTE 12 CLOSE TO THE ARCELORMITTAL USA OFFICE AND SLIPPED, VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND SUV ROLLED OVER AND CART WHEELED AND FELL IN A DITCH. THE SUV WAS UPSIDE DOWN WHEN I ARRIVED AFTER A FIRST RESPONDER CALLED ME FROM THE SCENE. NOT SURE WHY SHE VEERED OFF WHEN SHE WAS ON THE LEFT MOST LANE. SHE SUDDENLY CROSSED 2 LANES AND SHOULDER AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH. SHE WAS NOT FATIGUED SINCE IT WAS LESS THAN 3 MIN SINCE SHE LEFT FROM THE OFFICE AND WE HAVE BLUE TOOTH HANDSFREE IN OUR 2009 ACURA MDX TECH. NOT SURE IF THE AIR BAG WENT OFF FALSELY OR IF SHE HAD A TIRE BURST. I KNOW BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE FLAT WHEN I SAW IT IN THE SALVAGE YARD. ALL SHE RECALLS IS AIR BAGS GOING OFF - NOT SURE IF THEY DEPLOYED BEFORE OR AFTER SHE HIT THE DITCH... HTTP://M.NWITIMES.COM/NEWS/LOCAL/LAKE/WOMAN-RUSH...

WAS TOLD ON TODAY SHOW (NBC) THAT COULD CHECK TO SEE IF ACURA AIR BAGS NEED TO NE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THESE AIRBAGS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE TO BE REPLACED AND IF SO, WHEN. MANY THANKS.
