Forward collision warning (fcw) system: sometimes going on a smooth road fcw activates all of a sudden and flashed in the dashboard with an alarm. You have to press brakes in order to ensure that you are getting into an accident. Acura need to fix this warning system and ensure its more reliable. Brakes and rotors are warped at 13000 miles. Went to dealer and they told that it needs resurfacing. Continuous whistling noise from engine when your foot is on gas and when its off it stops. Acura hasn't been able to figure out where is the problem.

Bad brake rotors at 12000 miles started facing vibration in steering wheel when Mdx had 8k miles on it and at that time dealer told that its normal in my next service for oil change I told the dealer tech that I am still facing the problem and its quite significant. He stated that its rotor surface are uneven and warped and he has to resurface all 4 of these rotors. How can rotor gets warped at 12-13k miles. Its fairly new car. My concern is to replace all the bad rotors but dealer insisted that they will resurface those rotors. Resurfacing reduces the life of the rotors and then I called Acura and they assigned me district case manager and in turn they talked to dealer and final result is that they will resurface it not replace it. If the product is defective then they should replace it. I think the amount of concerns regarding 2014 Acura Mdx they are receiving regarding the brakes are enormous and they should recall or replace the rotors. Engine noise/ transmission noise. While going to la from sacramento I noticed that while at 65- 70 mph there is always a whistling noise when you are stepping on gas and when you take your foot off the gas it stopped. Its annoying and defeats the purpose of buying such a high end SUV and instead of less road noise you hear whistling sound. I took it to dealer for diagnostic and they stated that its either from engine or from transmission and they have no solution to it. Update from Apr 25, 2016 this is update from last time when niello Acura could replicate the noise but there wasn't any solution to it. I called Acura hq and they set an appointment for Acura tech-dpsm on 04/21/2016 to drive and next day I get call back that they could replicate the whisling noise but the same noise also came from other 2014 model they drove. So there is no solution to it.

On January 14, 2014 my daughter took our 2006 Mdx to the dealer for mechanical evaluation. The car has been hesitating while driving, trying to stop the car while driving. The diagnose came back with the following: transmission needs to be replaced and engine mounts have to be replaced as well for the total of around $7,200. In October 2008 (mileage 55k) the original transmission has been replaced with a re-manufactured part. December 2009 original symptoms (whining noise, shutter at 40-50 mph) have reoccurred and have been reported to dealer's mechanics. They could not see any problems. December 2010 whining noise started coming back again. Dealer's mechanics could not find anything wrong. Now we are faced with a transmission that is malfunctioning plus engine mounts have to be replaced. In speaking with Acura's customer care I was informed that the transmission replaced in 2008 was not an authentic Acura part. I kept insisting on more in depth explanation but did not receive any. It is my understanding that improperly working transmission causes damage to engine mounts. It seems Acura dealer's mechanics have somewhathow missed it. Acura is not willing to take responsibility for any of their omissions. Now the car is no longer under warranty. All of described instances are a huge safety hazard. Putting in non-authentic parts under the label of warranty is a fraudulent step. All services have been performed at jerry damson Honda dealership in huntsville, alabama. I would like a formal investigation. In addition I feel that dealership's mechanics should go through additional training to avoid future misdiagnoses and a reduce danger to consumers.
