general problems of the 2008 Acura MDX

The clock in the 2008 Acura Mdx stopped working over 18 months ago. This occurred after an Acura day-light-savings time update. In order to check the time now you have to take your eyes off the road. There are thousands of Acura vehicles with this problem. Acura refuses to help. They state there is no solution to the problem. They caused the problem!.

This vehicle is having electrical issue in which is affect various parts, including the deceleration of the vehicle. There are times in which the brake is pressed and instead of the vehicle does not respond to start to slow down. The brakes on the truck have replaced along with tires and yet the problem does continues. This a daily thing that happens it is more noticible when the vehicle reached above 65 and above miles. I have almost got into an accident due to this.

My 2008 Mdx's battery would drain out often and had to replace 2-3 new batteries during that time frame and numerous jump start. Recently, I just changed battery and had to jump start again within a month. I really got frustrated and took the car to car dealer and he said it's an hfl issue which drains your battery out, so I have to pay $200 to disconnect the system or pay $4000 to put a new hfl system. Their is also a class action law suit regarding this issue and another customer at the dealership had the same issue on his 2008 tl. Why doesn't Acura recall and fix the issue??? that's what I want to know. I even emailed Acura with a complaint and no response from them yet. . . ! this is ridiculous and would never buy Acura or Honda cars again. . !.

On Saturday, June 2, 2018, I was driving north on interstate 95 and my console lights started blinking and the car just turned off. Luckily, I was able to coast over to the shoulder and watched as the console lights blinked--vsa, brake, information light navigation system screen turned on and off repeatedly, and speedometer and rmp gauges went crazy. I sat on the shoulder and the console lights and navigation system lights continued to blink on and off, and then I saw that the system reset as if the battery had been disconnected. The screen to enter the code to reset your radio system appeared. Then it all stopped and went blank. I put the car in drive to exit the interstate and it continued on until I reached my exit. However, during the drive my console lights continued to blink on and off and the car drove slowly and there was a dragging sound as if the engine was overworking. I had to manually unlock the door, and my windows would not go up to close.

Battery was replaced in February 2017 (about 7 months ago). Today, everything electrical just died while I was driving. Thank god my children were not in the car & that I was 1 minute from home. The internal lights flickered and then all lights, the radio, and any other electrical portion went dead. The car was still running, but sensing something was wrong, I immediately called my husband and told him to meet me. After I stopped the car, it went dead and never turned on. We have tried numerous approaches to fix and having found the solution yet. Per research, many others have had similar dangerous issues. . Read more...

The contact owns a 2008 Acura Mdx. While driving at 60 mph, the contact noticed that the hood was vibrating. In addition, the vehicle lost power. The accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle hesitated before accelerating. The vehicle stability assist, tcs, abs and vtm may not operate was displayed across the message board. The vehicle was taken to multiple independent mechanics, who diagnosed that the hood needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 133,000.

The hands free link constantly drains the battery, even when the vehicle is not in use. I have replaced 3 batteries. This issue leaves you stranded and the repair cost by dealers are ridiculous when this is a wide spread issue. My local dealer explained the only way to fix the issue was to remove the hfl module. Why install something on a vehicle if it's not capable of performing the function it is meant to. Also the cd changer constantly get stuck and will not work. Due to this issue I get an error message or a busy message when trying to remove a cd. This issue has occurred in my Acura multiple times and I have gotten it out however this time when the battery was drained due to the hfl module the cd got stuck due to the battery issue and will not come out at all now. So my cd player is non-functioning at this point. So one issue has lead to the other.
