general problems of the 2014 Acura MDX

Recall/campaign reference: rear subframe/rear suspension safety recall, ~880,000+ Acura Mdx vehicles (my 2014–2020), due to risk of rear suspension component failure causing loss of vehicle control. Complaint narrative: I own a 2014 Acura Mdx (VIN [xxx]) subject to Honda's rear subframe safety recall for suspension components Honda has identified as posing a risk of failure, potentially causing loss of vehicle control and increasing crash/injury risk. I brought my vehicle to Acura of arrowhead, az (authorized dealer) for the recall repair. The dealer had recall subframe parts in stock, but upon inspection found the bolt securing the left rear lower arm a rusted and seized, causing the bushing to separate. The dealer advised the bolt must be cut and the left rear lower arm a (part no. 52370tz5a90) replaced, along with the right-side arm (52375tz5a9) and upper/lower bolts (90118tz5a10, 90981tz5a01). I was informed part no. 52370tz5a90 is unavailable anywhere in the u. S. — no dealer, no aftermarket, no third-party source — for an indefinite period with no eta. As a result, the recall repair cannot be completed, despite an actively corroded, failing component already identified on my vehicle. I must continue operating this vehicle with a known, documented safety defect because Honda cannot supply the needed part, with no resolution timeline. This complaint documents: recall remedy cannot be completed due to nationwide parts unavailability. Vehicle has an active rusted/seized failure in the exact recalled component. No interim safety guidance or parts timeline provided. I request NHTSA investigate Honda's parts supply chain adequacy for this recall, given the scale (880,000+ vehicles) and inability to supply a critical safety part. Requested action: investigate parts availability/remedy completion rate for this campaign; require american Honda motor CO. , inc. To provide owners a documented parts timeline and/or interim safety guidance. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5.

Onxxx I was sold an “as is” vehicle under a christmas special that was deemed unsafe to drive by a licensed mechanic a week later because of the rear subframe is bent from premature corrosion the dealer denied knowing anything about it but I submitted a case with flhsmv because under the florida deceptive and unfair trade practices act (fdutpa): for consumer sales, even in "as-is" transactions, sellers must disclose known material defects that substantially impact the vehicle’s value or safety but the claim was denied and ruled non-jurisdictional so im in the process of going civil. The total price the licensed mechanic gave me was 3,246 so ive been trying to mitigate this for months but I recently just seen a major recall was just issued which is the NHTSA campaign #26v367000 which is the same exact problem my vehicle that was sold to me was & is currently experiencing but my state which is [xxx] was excluded from the recall list because it isn’t classified as a salt bath state but since im experiencing the same issue and I don’t live in one of those states im just making this formal complaint to see if I can get some help to mitigate this situation to get the recall extended to more states since its not just affecting the north united states its down south as well so if someone could please help me or get back to me to point me in the right direction to get this situation mitigated it’ll be greatly appreciated thank you and have a great day.
