general problems of the 2013 Acura MDX

I have a 2013 Acura Mdx with an estimated 87k miles. Over the past 3 months, the engine will cut off while I'm driving and the steering wheel and brakes lock up. This has happened about 5 times in a three-month period. There are no warning lamps on my dashboard and no codes appeared during the diagnostic tests. My mechanic is unable to reproduce the issue. I have two young sons and am terrified of driving them in the Mdx. The engine failure happens very randomly as it's cut off while driving at varying speeds.

The 2013 Acura Mdx has a problem with the pistons in the engine which causes excessive oil consumption. This was the subject matter of a class action suit described in the website entitled Acura oil consumption settlement. This defect should be subject to a recall and american Honda should be required to repair or replace the pistons.

Purchased this a at a used car from Acura of los gatos an picked the car up late on Jan 27th 2016. At noon on Feb 5th (just about 7 days) the car suddenly stop when trying to pull up to the drive way of my friend house. The entire car is in the middle of a small street, blocking cars from moving. Car can't get started even with jumper from a towing company. The car was towed back to los gatos Acura and few hours later we were told the the entire engine is gone. We purchase this used car because it's such a new car just about 2 years old and driven just above 25,000 miles and supposed to run through almost 200 points check from los gatos Acura, but it failed in our face and we are fear for our lives due to the reason that we are lucky enough that the car broke down in a middle of the road in a light traffic area. If the engine did break down in the middle of fast and high traffic freeway, our lives could be in serious danger.
