Side/window Air Bag Problems of Acura MDX

As I am driving my 5 year old to karate on a local road with 40 miles per hour, my whole left side air bag curtain deployed for absolutely no reason. ( I didn't hit anything and no one hit me either). I got a bruised hand, small concussion and a massive rash ( from chemicals in the air back). I called Acura and was told to go for diagnostic at local Acura dealership. I was charged $99 and was told to call my insurance company. I asked why since there wasn't an accident involved and the answer was � I can't tell you how many people come here and claims that this happens to them but have no proof�. I guess the air back in my trunk and no damage to the rest of my car is not proof enough!!! I will be talking to a lawyer at this point!.

Takata recall. I am having severe difficulty in Acura completing the recal/replacement of the passenger side air bag. In July, my son brought the car (with an appointment) to pauly Acura in highland park, IL. He was told when he went in that he needed the original recall notice or they could not do the replacement. He left. When I sent it to him, he went to pauly again but was told they could not do the replacement because we did not purchase the Mdx at that dealership. He left. In February or March I received another notice. My son has the vehicle with him at school in oxford,ms. The closest dealership is over 90 minutes away. I contacted Acura customer service's 800 number. After speaking with a rep, they agreed that due to the issues surrounding the dealership improperly turning away my son in July, his being under 25 and this not eleigible four a loaner, and the difficulty for a full time student with a job to make the trip, they would arrange a tech to come to his school residence to do the replacement. This was in March. My son has had repeated phone calls with the Acura rep and has received several excuses why it has not happened. He has now been referred to a new service rep who told him it's not Acura's problem that he can't get to a dealership and is too young for a loaner. Further, the rep informed him that the airbag is not really a problem, just don't have anyone in the front passenger seat! Acura has been extremely negligent in resolving this issue and we have nowhere to turn for help. Please advise.

The contact owns a 2007 Acura Mdx. While the vehicle was parked overnight, the front driver and passenger side air bags independently deployed without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Takata recall - side airbags inflated while vehicle was parked in my home driveway during the night of December 31 2016 & January 1,2017.

American Honda failed to replace unsafe airbag and refuses to take any responsibilities on July 9, 2016, we took our 06� Acura Mdx to local dealer for the unsafe passenger side airbag replacement (NHTSA recall 16v-334). The dealer informed us that they couldn't replace the airbag due to an unknown wiring obstructing the airbag (exhibits a, b). They wanted to cut the wiring for airbag replacement. However, they will not take any responsibility if something goes wrong. We refused their idea of cutting the unknown wire, because it makes no senses when no one knows the outcomes is going to affect vehicle safety or functionality. We are the original owners and to our best knowledge no one has ever serviced the passenger side airbag. Thus, it is reasonable to suspect this might be a rare defect. We contacted Honda to explain this unusual situation, received a case #04828622; we sent an email with all the details (exhibits c). We had been waiting and following up, but Honda made no progress until we expressed our extreme anger after one year of anxious waiting. Finally, our case has been assigned to a representative at �airbag recall department� around July, 2017. However, this has been playing the game of �this airbag recall did not exist last year�, �not returning phone call as she promised�, and �sending a nonsense letter to confirm that our airbag is unsafe!�. Eventually, we have gotten very frustrated and also being worry about our own safety with the dangerously defected airbag. We took the 06� Acura Mdx to the dealer again; however, Acura dealer wants almost $300 for trying to figure out why they couldn't replace the airbag without any guarantee of replacing the unsafe airbag! we hope NHTSA would immediately start to investigate this case, and american Honda should be severely punished due to their egregious conducts.
