Air Conditioner Problems of Acura MDX

I was driving on a residential street back home when a haze started coming out of the air conditioning vents. That turned into black smoke coming from the front passenger side, underneath/behind the glove compartment. From that smoke, a fire started in the front passenger side, inside the vehicle. I pulled over to the side of the street, turned the car off, grabbed my son who was in a car seat in the back and got out of the car safely. Not a minute after we got out of the car, the entire car was engulfed in flames. The fire department did an investigation and classified it as undetermined, but mechanical in nature. We bought our Acura brand new from the dealer in 2014 and have only had it serviced at the Acura dealer. We have not experienced any issues with the car, other than regular maintenance. I'm extremely concerned that the car would burst into flames while driving.

I am having continual issues with the infotainment system (radio, air conditioning, navigation, etc. ). The issues have continued to worsen over time during my short time of ownership. The issues include, the entire operating system freezing, the navigation screen not alternating between daytime and nighttime backgrounds (which causes vision issues in the evenings - it is currently stuck on day which is bright), the back-up camera staying on while driving the vehicle forward (this includes almost up to 2 miles at one point), the system completely turning off while driving and not turning back on, and the system trying to rebook conitnuously while driving multiple times and not able to reboot. There have now been two times where I need to pull off the road, turn the car off, and turn it back on to get the infotainment system back on and to be able to function. I have been told by the dealership and Acura client relations I would still have to wait for the ota. No other options or resolutions are available or being offered. I have made requests to the dealership and directly to Acura client relations to have the system replaced as it has become a safety issue. Acura client relations stated they would not offer that as an option. While my car was being looked at previously, I was given another Acura Mdx on two occassions and did not have the same issues I am experiencing with the Mdx that I own. I asked to be escalated to the next level of leadership and I was informed that even if my escalation request were to be reviewed, the manager has the right whether or not they would respond. This was inappropriate as it is discouraging consumers in trying have their concerns heard. At this point, american Honda motor CO. D/b/a Acura c/o Acura is now avoiding consumers trying to get these issues resolved.

I purchased a 2013 Acura Mdx from Honda of bowie on July 1, 2o16. That same day I had to bring it back because the air conditioner did not work. On Friday, July 9 I had to bring it back because the navigation does not work, there is a grinding noise under the car and the steering wheel shakes when driving at a high speed. I believe this car has several issues and should not have been sold to me. The car had just come in (as I was told)an d it had not gone through the process requirerd for used cars before being sold. I initially went there to trade my kia and buy a used car. I was told I had to buy a new car because of the negative equity. So I did not trade my kia and bought a used Acura for 40,000. This car has many issue with it,.
