The contact owns a 2005 Acura Mdx. While driving approximately 10 mph and coming to a stop, the vehicle independently accelerated. The vehicle was taken to island Acura (3350 sunrise hwy, wantagh, NY 11793, (855) 435-5850) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or duplicate the failure.

Transmission issues.
The contact owns a 2005 Acura Mdx. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, he heard a grinding noise and the vehicle pulled to the passenger¿s side and decelerated independently. The contact stated that the failure recurred the following day while driving 45 mph. After a third failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The contact stated that NHTSA campaign number: 13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic, traction control system) was previously done on the vehicle. After the repairs were completed, the tpms , vsa, and traction control lights illuminated then the failure recurred. The contact had the vehicle towed back to the dealer who revealed a yaw sensor code via the diagnostic test. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The failure mileage was not available.
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.
2005 Acura Mdx: leaving my neighborhood I took a right turn onto the main thoroughfare. After some acceleration (1st gear), I heard a loud squeal/blow. Immediately had no power to maneuver forward and off to side of road in busy traffic. Ironically, Mdx was taken for maintenance at dealership. Mdx seemingly tested with flying colors 43 days earlier. No cautionary comments from mechanics at dealership.
My accident is still under investigation, but I am going to tell you about this so anyone who has an Acura Mdx will be aware. On the day of my daughters wedding, I was in a terrible accident in a parking garage. There were 4 passengers in the car. My transmission surged as I was in reverse hitting a cement pole, within a second, the car surged forward hitting another cement pole. The airbags thankfully deployed. I was burned, badly bruised and have neck and back injuries as does the passenger in the front seat. This car was totally out of control. After researching on the internet I have found numerous complaints involving transmission problems with the Acura's. If I had been parked on the road, there would have been fatalities. I missed hours of the most special day of my daughters life. These memories were stolen from me. My car was at the dealer approximately 3-4 weeks prior to this accident. $700. 00 for the car to be checked and ready to go! please do your homework if you are planning to purchase this car. I loved it too!.
