Vehicle: 2010 Acura Mdx. I was on hwy 395 at night and the check battery light came on. We recently replaced the battery and I felt it safe to drive to the next town to have the battery checked before continuing. Within about 50 miles, all of the other warning lights coming on in succession. There was no shoulder or area to pull on this section of highway near mono lake and within 30 seconds the car lost all power and all the lights went out. I tried to turn on the emergency flashers and they wouldn't work. I couldn't see the road and was going to ram the side of the car into the railing on the opposite side of the highway to try to get off the highway at night (still no shoulder on my side and I couldn't see anything without headlights) and my daughter thought to turn on her cell flashlight which gave me enough light to coast onto the opposite shoulder facing against traffic. Our car was completely dead and we also had no emergency lights. We quickly got out our camping lantern and wrapped our reflective safety rope around the car and luckily had cellphone reception and called for assistance. It took a chp officer over an hour to shine lights on the car and another 90 minutes for a tow truck to arrive. We were towed to mammoth lakes where we were told that it was the battery which they replaced when they opened in two days. Pulling out of the repair shop, we got a check charging system light and turned around finding out it was actually the alternator which was replaced the next day. My concerns are that we should have gotten a charging system alert and when the battery died we had nothing, no power, headlights, taillights, or emergency flashers. If we were unable to get the car off of the highway, I'm certain there would have been a bad outcome for us and whomever would have slammed into our car in the dark.

I own a 2007 Acura Mdx which has had a number of intermittent electrical problems over the years. I had to replace the handsfree link module a few years ago at the dealer. The yellow check oil level light has come on for no reason for years. It goes on for a second then off. A few months ago the entire electrical system �fried� and I had to buy a new battery and new alternator. Recently I hear a buzzing sound when I use the turn signals and the hazards do not work at all. Last night the car died on the interstate- the instrument panel went dark, the engine would not accelerate, and I was lucky to be able to get onto the shoulder. I turned off the car and then started it again. When it works there is no problem with the operation but this car is now unreliable and dangerous. I see there have been over 40 complaints for the same thing noted on carcomplaints. Com referring to the NHTSA website, about the car dying for no reason while in motion and that no Acura dealer seems able to fix it and Acura refuses to acknowledge the problem or do a recall the car is now at my mechanic to see if he can find out what is wrong but all the comments I saw on carcomplaints. Com indicate there has not yet been a definitive diagnosis made by Acura or anyone else, and there is no active recall either this is extremely dangerous as the other complaints also indicate that the doors and windows do not operate when the car stalls out and occupants can be trapped inside the car.

The contact owns a 2007 Acura Mdx. While driving approximately 45 mph, the gps and instrument panel lighting ceased without warning. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, the lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred two days later. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,500. The VIN was not provided.

Receive "battery charge low" warning message on console almost on a daily basis as soon as I open the car door. Took to Acura dealer and had corporate involved and was told that its the design of the car and deemed the issue as a standard logic feature with no action required. This year model has a power management system which I believe is new for 2010. I pointed out that it could be the battery, the charger, or the alternator, but they insist its normal. This has been happening for months and took car back to them about 5 times totalling over 20 days in shop with them telling me nothing wrong with the car. The car was bought new in 2010 and I should not have such issues with a brand new car. Another issue deals with the driver console, gps console, and radio console. They all seem to have a mind of their own and light intensity fluctuated with no logic to when and why. For example, the head lights turn on when senses night and the console adjusts itself accordingly but that is not the case with the rest of the console, the gps will stay in day mode and the radio will be bright as if it is in day mode. I also complained about the rear window defroster not working to expectation and was told by dealer that its working normal. This all surfaced a few months after I purchased the car and dont know what to expect next. There are blogs that can be googled such as Mdxers. Org with pages of complaints on this issue.
