1 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2017 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 03/22/2024

On highway and switching lanes. All of a sudden electric parking brake and all driver assist lights came on. Pull over light came on as well. Hit on left rear symbol came on. Was never hit just a close car on driver left rear side when switching lanes. Made it home and vehicle wouldn’t switch back into drive mode. Acura didn’t do its due process and assumed a new transmission was needed. Replaced and a month later electric parking brake sign starts flashing again. Now dealership is saying I need a new catalytic converter. Refused as I believe Acura has been incorrect about the diagnostic. They also stated my vehicle was in a collision and it wasn’t. They refused to check electrical issues and update software as these things are not in my control. It is my belief the car had a faulty collision warning which is causing other issues as well as Acura refusing to probably assist and diagnose without me continuing to be falsely diagnosed.

2 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2016 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 01/01/2023

The auto engine idle stop on my 2016 Acura Mdx has left me in precarious situations at stop signs and/or traffic lights at least twice before the recall notification I received in the mail a couple of weeks ago. The engine turned off as designed but then would not turn back on like it should without a delay. The worst incident was when my teenage daughters were in the car with me! after receiving the recall notice recently and taking the vehicle into the dealership within days of the notification, my “software update fix” by the dealership (napleton Acura in west palm beach) completely disabled my auto engine idle stop! after calling the service rep I dealt with later that day and telling him about it, I was told the software update made the “turn-off” feature more specific and mine didn’t meet the parameters! my engine was at normal operating temperature, my air conditioner was not on and I stopped at at least 12 lights on the way home with no engine stop. That was a week ago and still no engine idle stop has taken place! I’m a pilot and don’t appreciate being talked down to by a supposed “racing champion” named zeke that feels the need to advertise his prior win on his service uniform! not only that, but now my safety related “object approaching” notification for front driving and “rear warning” for close objects during parking/reversing are now non-existent! I paid extra for these safety related options and I’m not happy that they’ve been disabled because of the “software update!” how do I become part of the class action lawsuit against Acura/Honda?.
