1 Power Steering Pump problem of the 2007 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 08/01/2020

My 2007 Acura Mdx is experiencing a common problem with the power steering pump. Acura issued an extension on the warranty for this issue, but that extension only lasted seven years. As someone who acquired the car after 2014 I was automatically not qualified in this common problem. Acura has issued a recall for other model cars built in this same year using the same power steering pump. Yet the recall NHTSA campaign 12v222000 does not include model Mdx. I would like to know "why" Mdx was not also part of the recall seeing as though it is the exact same symptoms, and parts used for the power steering pump, hoses, and seals.

2 Power Steering Pump problem of the 2019 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 02/08/2019

While driving approx. 40 mph and slowing to turn into gas station, the car completely turned off. I was unable to put car in neutral or get off of road. Tow truck called and had to be drug onto flatbed. Garage replaced battery and still unable to start. Needed to replace timing belt, tensioner pulley, water pump, engine short block and heads. Car with only 4088 miles, no s/s of issue prior to incident, etc. Garage not sure what caused issue, best guess is manufacture defect in timing belt. I asked to end lease or for new vehicle, but Acura denied. Car will be returned to me despite my concerns.
