Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2010 Acura MDX

Vehicle: 2010 Acura Mdx. I was on hwy 395 at night and the check battery light came on. We recently replaced the battery and I felt it safe to drive to the next town to have the battery checked before continuing. Within about 50 miles, all of the other warning lights coming on in succession. There was no shoulder or area to pull on this section of highway near mono lake and within 30 seconds the car lost all power and all the lights went out. I tried to turn on the emergency flashers and they wouldn't work. I couldn't see the road and was going to ram the side of the car into the railing on the opposite side of the highway to try to get off the highway at night (still no shoulder on my side and I couldn't see anything without headlights) and my daughter thought to turn on her cell flashlight which gave me enough light to coast onto the opposite shoulder facing against traffic. Our car was completely dead and we also had no emergency lights. We quickly got out our camping lantern and wrapped our reflective safety rope around the car and luckily had cellphone reception and called for assistance. It took a chp officer over an hour to shine lights on the car and another 90 minutes for a tow truck to arrive. We were towed to mammoth lakes where we were told that it was the battery which they replaced when they opened in two days. Pulling out of the repair shop, we got a check charging system light and turned around finding out it was actually the alternator which was replaced the next day. My concerns are that we should have gotten a charging system alert and when the battery died we had nothing, no power, headlights, taillights, or emergency flashers. If we were unable to get the car off of the highway, I'm certain there would have been a bad outcome for us and whomever would have slammed into our car in the dark.

Receive "battery charge low" warning message on console almost on a daily basis as soon as I open the car door. Took to Acura dealer and had corporate involved and was told that its the design of the car and deemed the issue as a standard logic feature with no action required. This year model has a power management system which I believe is new for 2010. I pointed out that it could be the battery, the charger, or the alternator, but they insist its normal. This has been happening for months and took car back to them about 5 times totalling over 20 days in shop with them telling me nothing wrong with the car. The car was bought new in 2010 and I should not have such issues with a brand new car. Another issue deals with the driver console, gps console, and radio console. They all seem to have a mind of their own and light intensity fluctuated with no logic to when and why. For example, the head lights turn on when senses night and the console adjusts itself accordingly but that is not the case with the rest of the console, the gps will stay in day mode and the radio will be bright as if it is in day mode. I also complained about the rear window defroster not working to expectation and was told by dealer that its working normal. This all surfaced a few months after I purchased the car and dont know what to expect next. There are blogs that can be googled such as Mdxers. Org with pages of complaints on this issue. Picture of the message is available on request.
