1 Carrier/rack problem of the 2015 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 01/10/2018

I drive a 2015 Acura Mdx, which I bought brand new. It is in excellent condition with limited mileage. Two days ago while I was driving right before I reached my house, suddenly there was a loud explosion from my left side. I stopped the car and found the left side mirror case completely cracked with holes and pieces, hanging by the wires that connect it to the rest of the unit. This is a small neighborhood situated at a cul DE sac. There were no traffic, deer, bikers, or birds at the time. I could not find any falling objects except the broken pieces from the mirror case and some landed 20 feet away. I am sure it was not shot by any gun. If I had not been in the car with the window closed, I could have experienced serious injuries. If someone happened to be near the mirror, the person's face could have been blown off. The next day I called the Acura client relations and I was told they have never heard of this type of incident. . Read more...

3 Carrier/rack problem of the 2016 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 09/22/2015

While traveling on city and highway roadways, the vehicle wants to drastically veer to the left on sections of roads sloped to the left. You need to constantly apply pressure to the wheel to keep the vehicle from veering to the left. The vehicle is aligned correctly for roads sloped to the right. While vehicle was in the dealership to investigate the problem 3 times with no fix, other Mdx's driven as loaners acted the same. The dealer stated on third repair summary that road tested vehicle and stated vehicle tracking and steering normally compared to other Mdx's. The vehicle is still veering to the left as before. Driving long distances is not enjoyable with the constant steering compensation required.
