36 Other Fuel System problem of the 2019 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 04/29/2024

I have three recalls on my vehicle. I am trying to get them serviced and the Acura dealership is stating that they do not know when they can service the fuel pump because they haven't created/issued any parts. They will not let me book to service/fix the connector rod bearing before August. I am concerned with the safety of my vehicle due to these recalls and not being able to get them fixed ASAP.

37 Other Fuel System problem of the 2016 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 03/27/2024

Acura Mdx 2016 sh-awd with 113366 miles diagnosis according to warning lights. Dtc test certification codes: p0301 misfire no. 1 cylinder p0306 misfire no. 6 cylinder p0300 random misfire p0420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold b1 recommendation was that the catalytic converter be replaced. All these codes were identified under Honda's TSB 20-100 dated 2/2021 on odyssey, pilot and ridgeline models where ah extended warranty to 10 years from date of purchase or 150k. These v6 engines are pretty close to that of the 2016 Mdx. Is there a remote possibility that these dtc codes could exist in Mdx v6 engines when an issue arises similar to those in the Honda vehicles? these dtc codes appeared 24 hours/37 miles after a routine oil service on 3/26/2024 at advantage Acura of naperville with a perfect inspection report. The malfunction occurred in the vicinity of mcgrath Acura of westmont on the following day of 3/27/2024. The concern is if any of the emission system components were damaged during the routine oil service. Advantage Acura have in the past installed brake pads backwards on my Acura tl 2010 for which I do have proof.

41 Other Fuel System problem of the 2019 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 02/14/2024

While driving the vehicle at highway speeds the accelerator pedal became unresponsive. Additional force on the pedal pushed it to the floor with no response from the engine. After letting off the pedal while trying to pull the vehicle over to a safe location along the road, a press on the pedal from fully released, caused the engine to rev up and propel the vehicle again. This has happened 3 times but is very random, and not easily reproducible. It is a very unsafe condition when it does happen as the vehicle loses speed, and the driver no longer has speed control!.

42 Other Fuel System problem of the 2018 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 02/07/2024

On February 7 at 2:30 I came home, and my car was unable to turn off. I’ll try several times to turn off the car by pressing the on and off button. While driving back to work, the car change gear from being in drive, and it went into neutral while I was driving. I was able to pull over and I was able to turn off the car by pressing the button. The entire dashboard lights came on with all the different symbols . I was able to exit the carr. I told my car to a local repair shop. This was a very frightening experience, especially when I was driving, and the car went into neutral it could’ve been worse.

43 Other Fuel System problem of the 2019 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 02/05/2024

Received recall notice Feb 2024 tried 3 times to get fixed no fuel pump available yet this is a safety recall issue and should be fixed immediately please help expediate this urgent issue.

44 Other Fuel System problem of the 2019 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 02/01/2024

Received a recall notice Feb 2024. It is now 9 months later and manufacturer has said they have no eta when parts will be available after multiple calls. They are vague with the issues. Told if I think I have the issue, I can bring my car in for diagnosis. If they don't find the problem I have to continue to wait and they will charge a diagnostics fee for troubleshooting. I am concerned I have an unreliable vehicle that could fail at any time. I think 9 months is more than reasonable to have a recall fixed and replacement parts manufactured.

45 Other Fuel System problem of the 2020 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 01/25/2024

While driving on the highway, at highway speeds, all dash lights came on and the vehicle immediately lost power coming to an abrupt stop. We were able to limp the car to the side of the road. It was ultimately determined that the car’s fuel pump had gone out. The fuel pump was replaced by Acura, and covered under the initial manufactures warranty. However, it’s rather suspicious that our car is not included in the recall given that the fuel pump failure is identical to the open recall for our same make and model.

46 Other Fuel System problem of the 2002 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 01/21/2024

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - immobiliser system. Yes, available. May be repaired by local mechanic unless I learn from you to defer such repair. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - the inappropriate activation of the immobilizer system (at least I think that's what happened) caused the vehicle immediately to become unnamageable. All lights off, motor stopped, no power brakes pr power steering. No way to give warning to other drivers. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - the identical behavior has occurred about 6 times, once on busy us 101 through downtown oakland, CA during rush hour. The car will be towed to a mechanic's shop later today. I have no history with this mechanic's shop. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - no. It is my inference that the immobilizer system activated while at speed due to description in the owner's manual of the appropriate behavior of the immobilizer. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - no. The first appearance of the "green key" light preceded the entire shutdown by only a few seconds.

47 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 01/14/2024

While driving the car started to loose momentum and began stuttering until finally stopping abruptly and applying the electronic braking system. All warning alarms were illuminated on the dash. I was not even able to pull over completely off the road either putting me and my family in danger from not being off the road. Acura dealership service center informed me it was a bad high pressure fuel pump located on the engine block itself. There are recalls for this exact part neginnibg from 2018 on the Acura Mdx model. My model is a 2017 making me wonder if the recall should include earlier year models of Acura Mdx.

Failure Date: 11/30/2023

We have two stop sale safety recalls on our 2018 Acura Mdx that have gone over a year without being addressed. I have contacted Acura and the dealership multiple times. Acura refers me to the dealer and the dealer refers me to Acura. Apparently there is no accountability for important safety recalls. Would appreciate some help from NHTSA.

54 Other Fuel System problem of the 2018 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 11/21/2023

While preparing to enter the expressway my 2018 Mdx stalled and various dashboard lights came on. My family and I drifted into the median while nearly being hit by passing car. It took about 10 minutes before the Mdx became operational again. I took it to a local mechanic when we arrived at our destination. They couldn't locate any issues or "bad codes. " since that incident my fuel mileage and shifting has begun to deteriorate. Entering traffic and trying to pass cars has become difficult while driving. I have called Acura and a local dealership in charlotte, nc. Both failed to provide next steps that didn't involve spending money to fix an issue that based on feedback on various sites and ntsb site is a common issue.

55 Other Fuel System problem of the 2018 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 11/20/2023

Car has two unrepaired recalls. ( please refer to your site)fuel pump is never available, needs to be ordered. Recall related to engine bearings, crankshaft and other essential parts has not been repaired to any Mdx in puerto rico. A year and a half after notifying recall the dealer informs that Acura is developing a tool to diagnose damage. No date to repair situation is available. Permanent damage to engine can be in progress while original warranty expired during waiting period and private extended warranty will soon expire. Possible solution may involve engine replacement, separating engine from transmission, gaskets, seals and other related parts not included in the recall. Both recalls are a safety concern. Your assistance is appreciated. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

56 Other Fuel System problem of the 2018 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 11/08/2023

I have been trying to get the two recalls fixed for several months with the dealership telling me they don't have the parts and they would contact me when they get the parts in. No one contacts me, I call to find out if they have received parts. Recall, 23v-858 and 23v-751.

58 Other Fuel System problem of the 2018 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 10/25/2023

Sometimes when we step on the gas petal, the car does not move, and when we press harder on the gas petal, the car suddenly takes off very fast. We have almost been hit by other cars many times because the car does not move when we press the gas petal.

59 Other Fuel System problem of the 2022 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 09/16/2023

This vehicle has an “integrated” gas cap where the fuel filler door acts as the gas cap. I can’t believe Honda engineering did any testing with this system since about 75% of the time when I fuel the vehicle, the nozzle gets stuck in the filler neck & the neck usually comes off the vehicle entirely when attempting to remove the fuel nozzle. This problem has been well documented on Honda/Acura forums for some time and I cannot believe Honda has not issued a recall as this represents a significant safety risk, not to mention potential emissions issues.

60 Other Fuel System problem of the 2020 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 08/19/2023

When putting the vehicle in "drive" it unexpectantly rapidly accelerated causing me to aggressively brake the vehicle. It's happened twice and could easily have crashed into surrounding property or pedestrians. I brought the vehicle to the dealership but considering it is an intermittent problem they couldn't duplicate the situation. Acura said they have no record of anything like this happening. There were no electronic lights or indicators that warned me of a malfunction. The first occurrence was several months ago, and the latest occurrence happened two days ago.

61 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 06/18/2023

Great hesitation, in acceleration, clicking of gears and drive and while putting in reverse also clicking of the years when accelerating.

62 Other Fuel System problem of the 2020 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 06/12/2023

While driving, in the middle of the high way, the car shuts off and stops and when restarted it wouldn’t go. Stopped, twice this month and three time total this year, on the highway thank god no accident.

63 Other Fuel System problem of the 2018 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 06/05/2023

This car has repeatedly had issues with delaying to take off when I touch the gas pedal. Once the pedal is depressed there is a long delay before the car actually moves. Two days ago as I was driving at around 35mph all warning lights came on and the car started jerking as it was trying to slow down or stall. I was able to get back to my home luckily I was only up the street and was able to drive under 30mph and had to pull off the road several times because it kept jerking almost as if someone was repeatedly slamming on the brakes. I had a mechanic hook a reader up and was able to determine it was the high pressure fuel pump. Acura claims my car has no open recalls but I believe although it may not be currently it obviously should be part of the recall involving the same exact issue. The warranty expired 3k miles ago ironically, but given this issue has happened to other cars of the same make and model and given the recall for this same part on other cars like mine just with a different VIN I believe it should be covered as it is a major safety concern. The car jerked very hard and luckily I did not have my kids with me and luckily no one was too close to me when my car starting stopping in such an forceful way. If I was on a highway I would have probably been involved in an accident as the car was attempting to go into limp mode due to the failure of the fuel pump and was aggressively shifting down when I was only going 35mph I can only imagine what could happened if I was traveling double that speed.

64 Other Fuel System problem of the 2018 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 05/06/2023

There are two outstanding recalls on my vehicle and my local Acura is in not able to repair them until January despite the safety compromise listed under each recall increasing risk for collision or fire.

65 Other Fuel System problem of the 2018 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 04/19/2023

This is my first luxury car. Ever since I bought the car in 2019, I noticed that sometimes when I press on the gas pedal, it takes a little time for the car to move. I just assumed it was normal. Never owned an Acura before. Two weeks ago and a week ago, I also got into a car accident. The first time was when I was entering the freeway. I see the cars on the freeway coming from my left side. They were far enough form me enter the freeway safely. I pressed the gas pedal to speed up so I could enter the freeway. I pressed on the gas pedal. Nothing happens. The car didn't respond. I pressed again and this time it moved. By the time my car moved and pick up speed, the oncoming cars were right behind my left side. I had to brake and moved to the right side to avoid an accident. The 2nd time, I was at a stop sign. I pressed the gas pedal. Again, the accelerator did not kick in. The car behind me honked at me. It took a couple of seconds for my car to pick up its speed.

66 Other Fuel System problem of the 2019 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 04/15/2023

I pulled up to a stop light at a busy intersection/highway exit and, after depressing the brake, the vehicle abruptly turned off and shifted to neutral. The brake became very difficult to depress and the parking brake enabled on its own. The entire dashboard lit up and the car would not shift or respond to any input. The vehicle would not turn off, turn back on, or shift for approximately 15 minutes. After this, I tried to turn the car off and it finally did, I started it again and was able to pull off the roadway. We just recently (within the past 2 weeks) had a recall done to update the auto-stop system. This occurred 1x prior to the recall and now this has happened again. My young children were in the car both times and this put us all in danger.

67 Other Fuel System problem of the 2020 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 04/07/2023

Periodically when accelerating the car (2020 Acura Mdx) looses power. The car does not stall it just looses power. There have been times when we have had to pull over to avoid causing an accident. When it does occur there are no warning or signal displayed on the dash boards pre or post the incident. We have reported the issue to Acura but there has be no resolution to the issue.

68 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 04/02/2023

At highway speeds, the transmission unexpectedly shifts to neutral with no warning. The only indication is unexpected decrease in speed and accompanying engine rev. My typical driver response is to take foot off accelerator, then put back on again. Engine overrevs then shifts in to gear. I'd estimate it's out of gear for ~ 5 seconds, but hard to say in the heat of the driving moment. This happens 1-2x most highway trips, but not occur at lower speeds (it does not shift very smoothly in lower gears at times, but it's not currently a safety issue). I've taken it to my local dealer (hendrick Acura, durham, nc) and contacted Acura customer care, and am trying to get a diagnostic scheduled (it's been a process). The behavior started to worsen over the past several months (e. G. The slip to neutral has lengthened in time) but shorter slips have been occurring for a longer time period.

69 Other Fuel System problem of the 2003 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 03/01/2023

My vehicle has a check engine light. The code indicates the issue is the fuel neck filler (part number 17660-s3va02) which has been confirmed by my mechanic. This is a safety item due to some type of fuel leak in the filler neck area for gasoline which causes the check engine light. The part is on backorder and from my conversations with multiple dealerships, there is no estimated date of delivery. Apparently, there is a high number of vehicles having this issue. As a result, I am unable to smog my vehicle due to some type of fuel leak. It appears there is a safety item that needs to be addressed immediately.

70 Other Fuel System problem of the 2023 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 02/19/2023
