general problems of the 2015 Acura MDX

When turning slowly (ie parking lots), there is knocking/creaking sound heard on the driver's side. Dealer confirmed noise but not able to say exactly what is wrong or why other than to say that it needs fronts axles on both sides replaced at cost of $1200+. In my opinion, they didn't properly diagnose it (and really are just guessing at problem). They only test drove it and that is not only way to diagnose problem with vehicle. It appears to be a product quality issue in manufacturing. The car is 5 years old and has 70,000 miles. All signs showed that it has been taken care of by previous owner and now by me. I have had it for about year when it had 65000 mile. At this stage of its life, it should not need axles replaced. If this was a gm car, I'd said that's probably true but this is an Acura we are talking about. The car has not even been broken into at this mileage.

On 01/18/2020. I can not start my 2015 Acura Mdx anymore when I was on the walmart parking lot, power steering system ( eps) problem " light was on, the steering wheel was locked up. The car has 61,035 miles.

Power steering system (eps) problem. Steering jammed. Very hard to steer.

Our 2015 Acura Mdx has been at the dealership 8 times. Our vehicle has been out of service for approximately 64 days total. It has been at the dealer for electrical glitches starting with seats, steering wheel, gps and for rautomatic braking issues. Steering wheel and power seats repeatedly not setting to appropriate key fob settings. Car has been to dealer for this issue 4 times. Dealer unable to reproduce issue or show "trouble codes" until 4th time in shop. The next glitch moved into the gps system and controls on gps screen. The screen remained bright at night. The controls disappeared from screen. This was video recorded. The dealer stated this must have been a glitch. The dealer stated unable to reproduce the glitch. The dealer stated no "trouble code" detected although it was clearly video recorded with date. The vehicle locked the brakes up while in operation with no vehicle in front. The operator was nearly in a rear end collision had the driver behind not been following at a safe distance. On the next occasion, while at a red light stopped, the "brake" warning came on. This warning is designed to come on when in motion. Operator was concerned if the vehicle had been in motion again it could have caused the vehicle to brake suddenly. These incidences could have caused serious injury or death. The dealership simply stated they could not reproduce the event and stated the vehicle was operating as designed. Owner sent recall articles as it related to braking issue but was informed vehicle did not fall under recall. Owner is simply illustrating with detailed notes and videos that the vehicle has electronic issues that vary and ultimately have turned into safety concerns. Owner wanted "safety concern" to be documented in work order but dealer did not document this as such. Requested dealer put us in a safe car of equal value. They refused.

After the recall of collison migration braking system (cmbs). With the new recall software. The Mdx stops or apply the braking on the freeway. This is a continues to this day. The dealership had the vehicle for about one week. They said that it could not find a problem. The dealership put over 250 miles on the vehicle. I still have the problem of the braking system appling the brakes going from concreate to asphalt with speeds over 50 miles per hour. I have to react to each braking quickly. It also happens if their is a small bump in the road like a very small speed bump. Sometimes over the same area I would get the braking alert flashing on the heads up display. Sometimes the braking light happens with seat belt jerking back and a change of speed. Only once since I got my vehicle back from the dealership did it do a full braking. And there was no other cars in front of me just the road. I am lucky to have no one behind me when this happens.
