general problems of the 2005 Acura MDX

When making a sharp turn on hot days the car makes a grinding noise like something is grabbing the tire. It slows the car, hands the steering wheel and then the vsa hazard light comes on. It is a recurring issue and mechanics have not been able to diagnose.

Recall not fixed in timely manner at all now car isn't working breaks sticking just not safe at all can't drive.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Acura Mdx. The contact stated that while traveling at various speeds, the left rear tire would brake independently as the vsa( vehicle stability assist) warning light would illuminate. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with a defective left rear brake pad and router. The contact then had a family member replace the brake pad and router. Despite the repair, the failure persisted. Upon investigation, the contact linked NHTSA campaign number: 13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic, traction control system) with her failure. The dealer nor the manufacturer have been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 153,000. Jo.

I, along with my wife, pulled out of the parking slot with seat belts securely fastened and started driving. After a few seconds the car went into sudden acceleration. I had no control on brakes or accelerator. I had to find a way to stop the car. I steer the car on to middle curb of the parking lot. First I hit the gate, which was flexible and did not stop the car. Next thing I hit was a light pole. The car stopped with both air bags deployed, lot of damage to car (completely totaled) and causing personal injury to me and my wife who was in the passenger seat. Due to the speed of the car, the concrete base was lifted from the ground and the pole fell in front away from the car. We both checked into the hospital immediately after the crash. This was caused by manufacturing defect in the car. The reason I say this is because: a) I just left the prayer hall, where I go frequently and am familiar with the surrounding where other cars are parked and moving, people are walking to and from their cars, and had no reason to accelerate; b) I have been driving accident free for past 39 years, my driving record speaks for itself; c) driving is required in the profession I am in, where I have to visit clients few times a week; d) I am familiar with the car because I have been driving this car for over 4 years. E) I am a family man and not a reckless driver. I care too much for my family, and especially my grandson, to take a chance like this; f) I am perfectly healthy and conscious about my surroundings. It has been six weeks and we are still experiencing pain from the injury. I believe something needs to be done to avoid such incidents in future. This crash could have been fatal.

The contact owns a 2005 Acura Mdx. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v320000 (air bags), 13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic, traction control system), and 12v573000 (electrical system); however, the parts to do the recall repair were not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Well when I did a sudden emergency stop because a car in front of me slammed their brakes I noticed that my brakes didn't lock up to cause the abs system to trigger in case I had to do some maneuvering. Honda evidently recalled brake boosters in some of their other model cars but not this one. This maybe the problem not sure. But it's awfully dangerous. I am on a Acura Mdx forum and there are others who've complained about it.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Acura Mdx. The contact stated that driving 55 mph, the vehicle would veer to the right and then the brake would engage independently. In addition, the vehicle stability assist (vsa) warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was previously repaired under a recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic, traction control system). The same day the recall remedy was performed, the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer for the most recent defect. The technician stated the failure was contributed to the yaw sensor. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 184,000. The VIN was not available. Kmj.

The driver side front brake randomly applies even if you don't touch the brakes. It pulls into oncoming traffic. The vsa! light comes on every time signaling an issue with the traffic control. There was recall that was supposed to fix the issue however it did not. It can occur at 70 mph or 5 mph, there is no rhyme to why it occurs however I fear for my wife and my children when it is driven.

Driving on city street 1 block from entering freeway I felt a strange grabbing and vibration type sensation from my 2005 Mdx. A few feet further the car felt like I had stepped on brakes and gas at the same time and literally stopped in the middle of the street. The car behind swerved and barely missed me. I managed to get the vehicle to the side of the road and called Acura roadside assistance. Had I been on the freeway this would have caused a multiple car collision the roadside assistance was wonderful but I feel that since I only have 70,000 miles on this car; this should not have happened and the locking of the wheels at any speed is unacceptable. The repair was a replacement of the modulator assembly abs/vsa at a cost of $$1653. I just keep wondering what would have happened had I been on the freeway driving 70 miles per hour.

The contact owns a 2005 Acura Mdx. While driving approximately 10 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle failed to slow down. She sideswiped a parked vehicle on the street. Also, the brakes jolted spontaneously. There were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel and no injuries. The police was called to the scene and a report was filed. Both vehicles were damaged. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and it was discovered that the tie rod was the cause of the failure. The contact is waiting for a response from the insurance adjusters regarding the damages for repair. She was concerned of the safety risk involved. The failure and current mileages were 25,000.
