1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2011 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 11/02/2020

I have a 2011 Acura Mdx and just recently my airbag srs light has came on when I turned my vehicle on. I was told by the Acura dealership that this was due to a malfunctioning airbag sensor. Due to this malfunction none of my airbags will deploy if I were to get into an accident. Which I think is absolutely insane. When I took it to the dealer they stated it would cost over $1500 to fix it. As a single mother I am not able to afford to have this issue fixed. I called Acura and the lady I spoke too was very rude and said that there was not any recalls regarding this issue and that Acura would not help with the repairs. My car has never been in an accident and I always maintain the oil, tires, maintenance on this car. No one should ever have to worry about getting in the car with their children and feeling unsafe because of malfunction air bag sensor or computer. The Acura dealership should be held responsible for this malfunctioning system.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2017 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 07/24/2020

The certified pre-owned (cpo) 2017 Acura Mdx I purchased ion 07/24/20 from davis Acura in langhorne, PA should not be classified as a cpo! I paid my automotive repair shop of 20 years that maintained my Lexus suvs to do their own 83-point detailed inspection on the Acura Mdx. I was shocked in their reporting wheel alignment needed - recommended left rear tire edge wear & body � evidence of previous accident damage to rear bumper, right front door, left side doors, left rear quarter panel & left front fender. I was informed that at least 50% of SUV has been repainted & there was dirt underneath the paint. Was this formerly leased SUV in an accident that went unreported with clean carfax and auto check reports? the left door exterior chrome door handle was also replaced by dealership but no reason is listed as to why replaced. There are now issues with: exposed airbag � is it the original or was it replaced?; tire pressure varies (+/- 7 or 8 ) in the rear left tire that has been looked at by my local Acura dealer two times in one week & the 3rd visit will be to replace the tpms sensors in a car with only 16,000 miles?; the defroster is not fully working in the left passenger window and the misalignment of the lift gate is a concern because it prevents the a/c or heat from working effectively in the 2nd & 3rd row, there is rain water sitting on the inside of the SUV that remains for hours. Could it mold or cause damage to the rear electric lighting components? how does the lift gate trunk door misalign if it wasn't in an accident? if the lift gate trunk door is misaligned, why was this SUV sold as a cpo & not used? I do not feel comfortable driving the SUV. I have yet to receive a call back by phone from Acura dealership owner in 4 weeks and/or from the Acura customer care specialist in the last 10 days about my case filed. Can NHTSA inspect SUV for damage & repainting?.
