I was approaching a stop light on a busy street on a very bright day and did not see that the stop light I was approaching had turned red. When I realized it was red, I braked rapidly of course but still going at a pretty good speed I hit the stopped car in front of me. The collision was between drivers side of my Mdx and right rear of a medium-sized white Jeep. My 17 yr old son was in the front passenger seat and his air bag deployed, however my driver bag did not deploy. Both seat belts locked up. The impact was very strong on driver side given that is where we hit. Fortunately, my seat belt kept me from hitting the windshield. My only injuries are neck ache, head ache, seat belt bruises, and ringing ears. My concern is for future use of my car. If the driver air bag did not deploy given this hard of a hit, I do not believe it will deploy in any collision. I filed a complaint with Acura requesting them to inspect the airbag and black box to determine why it did not deploy and they said that airbags are designed to only deploy when needed and in this case the cars computer determined it was not needed hence there is no reason to inspect it further. I believe that if the airbag deployed on the passenger side where the impact was less then the air bag should have also deployed on the driver side. My insurance adjuster also supposedly requested Acura to inspect the vehicle and they also did not get any favorable action from Acura. Honda/Acura of America returned my phone calls twice and simply said there is no supporting information indicating that the airbag or cars computer should be investigated. They also did not ask any questions about the accident in which additional information could be provided. The estimated repair on the car is over $12k.

Srs light illuminated at approximately 130000 miles. Mechanic states code 15-3 "faulty opds sensor". Sensor is faulty by design, is not affected by age or use of vehicle. Previous extended warranty addressed this code, with language in warranty stating vehicles past 10 year mark are eligible for goodwill coverage to fix this issue. Acura refused to cover cost of this fix under goodwill. Manufacturer should be held accountable for design failures. Safety issue as air bags will not deploy if srs light is on.

The contact owned a 2015 Acura Mdx. The contact stated that the vehicle was involved in a rear end collision. The air bags did not deploy and the headrest detached from the seat.

My brand new 2015 Mdx had significant gaps (approx 1/2 inch) between the dash where it meets the base of the a-pillars and the a-pillar/airbag covers were out of alignment along front edge of windshield. When I asked the service writer about it he discouraged me from having the problem addressed or corrected because they would have to remove the dash to resolve the problem and it might cause other problems and rattling like I was also experiencing with the passenger door. After several visits regarding several other problems I spoke to service manager who said I should have the problem addressed. It seemed to me that the a-pillar covers were unsecured at the base and aside from the aesthetic issue, in the event of a serious accident the air bags may not deploy properly or the entire cover may be propelled into the occupants causing serious injury or death. I do not know how these gaps were missed by Acura quality control. I have noticed several vehicles with varying degrees of improper alignment of these covers although none as serious as mine. I have only inspected a few but this might be a problem with a large number of vehicles based on the poor quality control exhibited in my Mdxs and numerous other issues with the Mdx since 2014. I think this issue and Acura's quality control process should be investigated ASAP to determine whether this problem poses a risk of injury or death to the occupants of the Mdx.

My son was driving in town normal speed it was raining, he had to make a quick stop to avoid a car in front of him that made a quick stop also. The bumpers barely touched, left no marks at all, not even to the front licsence plate. The airbag deployed and black and blued his arm. We received a recall notice for this 2003 Mdx. Took it in to libertyville Acura and they fixed one part of the recall but refused to fix the deployed airbag and seatbelts. That's not right! the steering wheel airbag should not have deployed without a crash! what gives. A recall without repairs is nothing but lip service. How many of us are out there? how many others are or ,were denied also? the car is still at the dealer. They have not fixed the problem.

My daughter was living in michigan and the srs light came on and she did not know what to make of it and there was no Acura dealership around where she lived. She continued to drive the car and then moved back to CA. I saw that it was on so I contacted an Acura dealership and they informed me that it had been under an extended but we were now past the 150k limit. I told them that it came on before that but they would not help. They told me to replace the passenger seat sensor box and it would fix the problem. I had it replaced and it again shows the srs light on. The airbags will not deploy with the srs light on. This should of been a factory recall rather then an extended warranty that we did not know about.
