The certified pre-owned (cpo) 2017 Acura Mdx I purchased ion 07/24/20 from davis Acura in langhorne, PA should not be classified as a cpo! I paid my automotive repair shop of 20 years that maintained my Lexus suvs to do their own 83-point detailed inspection on the Acura Mdx. I was shocked in their reporting wheel alignment needed - recommended left rear tire edge wear & body � evidence of previous accident damage to rear bumper, right front door, left side doors, left rear quarter panel & left front fender. I was informed that at least 50% of SUV has been repainted & there was dirt underneath the paint. Was this formerly leased SUV in an accident that went unreported with clean carfax and auto check reports? the left door exterior chrome door handle was also replaced by dealership but no reason is listed as to why replaced. There are now issues with: exposed airbag � is it the original or was it replaced?; tire pressure varies (+/- 7 or 8 ) in the rear left tire that has been looked at by my local Acura dealer two times in one week & the 3rd visit will be to replace the tpms sensors in a car with only 16,000 miles?; the defroster is not fully working in the left passenger window and the misalignment of the lift gate is a concern because it prevents the a/c or heat from working effectively in the 2nd & 3rd row, there is rain water sitting on the inside of the SUV that remains for hours. Could it mold or cause damage to the rear electric lighting components? how does the lift gate trunk door misalign if it wasn't in an accident? if the lift gate trunk door is misaligned, why was this SUV sold as a cpo & not used? I do not feel comfortable driving the SUV. I have yet to receive a call back by phone from Acura dealership owner in 4 weeks and/or from the Acura customer care specialist in the last 10 days about my case filed. Can NHTSA inspect SUV for damage & repainting?.
On 11. 25. 25, my Mdx was involved in a multi-car hit and run on highway 101 sb at the laurel drive off ramp. The vehicle sustained two points of impact: (1) substantial front/driver side impact (2) rear-passenger side impact. Despite the severity, location of impact and speed of travel at the time of the collision, all airbags deployed except for the driver side curtain airbag. Importantly, at the time of the crash, the lane keeping assist system (lkas) and associated Acurawatch driver assist systems were activated. The vehicle’s safety assistance technology was engaged and functioning immediately prior to impact. Considering the above mentioned facts, driver side airbag failing to deploy, raises serious concerns regarding possible software or signal-processing malfunction or electronic communication between radar/camera systems and the srs module. The nature and severity of the impact clearly met deployment criteria for the driver side airbag. This failure raises concern that there may be a defect in the srs system, including but not limited airbag inflator component or propellant issue. Supplemental restraint system (srs) crash sensor calibration. Srs control module deployment logic. Crash signal sensors. Event-trigger logic or interconnnect failure. Wiring harness or inflator defect. Whether the system registered steering correction or impact prediction, the failure to deploy increased my risk and resulting injury, as well as compromised the fundamental safety system designed to protect drivers in front-impact crashes.
