The auto engine idle stop on my 2016 Acura Mdx has left me in precarious situations at stop signs and/or traffic lights at least twice before the recall notification I received in the mail a couple of weeks ago. The engine turned off as designed but then would not turn back on like it should without a delay. The worst incident was when my teenage daughters were in the car with me! after receiving the recall notice recently and taking the vehicle into the dealership within days of the notification, my “software update fix” by the dealership (napleton Acura in west palm beach) completely disabled my auto engine idle stop! after calling the service rep I dealt with later that day and telling him about it, I was told the software update made the “turn-off” feature more specific and mine didn’t meet the parameters! my engine was at normal operating temperature, my air conditioner was not on and I stopped at at least 12 lights on the way home with no engine stop. That was a week ago and still no engine idle stop has taken place! I’m a pilot and don’t appreciate being talked down to by a supposed “racing champion” named zeke that feels the need to advertise his prior win on his service uniform! not only that, but now my safety related “object approaching” notification for front driving and “rear warning” for close objects during parking/reversing are now non-existent! I paid extra for these safety related options and I’m not happy that they’ve been disabled because of the “software update!” how do I become part of the class action lawsuit against Acura/Honda?.
Forward looking camera failed at 62k miles, it won't communicate with the computer according to dealership diagnosis on 11-18-2022. Replacement cameras are on backorder, with no availability date. Vehicle is available for inspection. The issue directly affects forward collision, lane departure and cruise control. It no longer warns me if approaching something too quickly. It no longer tells me if I drift into another lane or corrects it. Cruise control stopped working as well. Distracting lights and beeping when driving, says windshield needs to be cleaned on instrument cluster. Issue began in mid 2022. According to my research, failing cameras seem to be an issue. Replacement camera is approx $1500, plus the labor to install and align.
