Software Problems of Acura MDX

The automatic collision mitigation system had a complete 100% lock up of my brakes during a cross of an intersection . Although I was wearing my seatbelt the force of the stop threw my head into the steering wheel. It is a complete miracle that the car behind me did not rear-end me. This system routinely gives false positives when going around corners when you are in the center lane and it beeps and pulses the brakes. This time, the car stopped completely and I hit my head and was lucky to not cause an accident. There should be a way to 100% permanently turn off or Acura needs to fix their software. Too many false positives and actually is less safe with it on.

Since owners and on 4 specific occasions. While driving at high speed upon acceleration at 70 mph auto went dead. Lost all power. After eight minutes auto restarted. 9 months ago, while placed into reveres to auto self accelerated t high speed. After brakes applied and vehicle placed into drive vehicle accelerated at a hgh rate of speed. Lock brakes put vehicle into neutral restarted. One month ago while turning left into traffic at a major intersection, car brakes applied awaiting left turn against traffic. Went to accelerate, car dash lights went wild all begin bling rapidly, dash went black, abs brakes and brake pedal went to floor car went by itself into neutral. Took over 8 minutes to restart. On 9/24. 19 Tuesday at 1:41 pm while traveling west bound on interstate 90, at 74 mph while passing a semi truck as I passed the truck, with a clear distance and proceeded to turn into the right driving lane in front of the truck as I pulled right the vehicle dash went black, the abs and brake peddle went to the floor and the car decelerated rapidly from 74 to 50 mph within a second. The semi locked the brakes to avoid a serious rear end collision. As I reached 50 mph the dash re lite and all instrumentation appear to function and as I pushed down on the accelerator the vehicle regained speed. I can report perhaps 15 to 20 other major items with collision avoidance and electronic dash abnormalities. The vehicle has been in the Acura shop minimally 15 to 20 times over 24 months to no avail. Acura reports software updates or bad battery causing low voltage signals. This vehicle is dangerous and if not addressed will cause death.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Acura Mdx. While driving approximately 75 mph on a busy interstate highway, the vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. In addition, the electric parking brake, blind spot, and "stop driving" messages and indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to mapleton palm beach Acura (6870 okeechobee blvd, west palm beach, FL 33411), but the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer performed a software update on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,649.

When driving around 75 mph on the interstate I went to switch lanes and when pressing the accelerator nothing happened and acceleration was not possible. All warning lights came on, including all wheel drive system problem, emission system problem, all wheel drive system problem, transmission system problem. Check engine and sh-awd. The power steering and brakes still worked and was extremely lucky to get the car to the shoulder without getting injured or killed. Had car towed to chattanooga Acura dealer. Car was operating normally when they received it. Acura tech support advised dealer to replace transmission and transmission control module (tcm). Also was told Acura is working on a software update for the tcm but it is not available yet but I have little confidence in the fix and little confidence that this won't reoccur. Strongly considering replacing the car.

First, I have had the vehicle for a little over a year. I have driven to florida and nc without issue. Today will be the 4th time taking my car to the Acura dealership in less than 3 months. Today the car started to kickback when I reach 20mph. Also, at 80mph the car is jerky when I accelerate or decrease and go again. Also when I release the gas, the speed decreases quickly as opposed to gradually. Around 60mph the car tends to have a slight jerk which ive notified Acura but they said I need a wheel alignment which ive done. The issue prior was all the lights in the dash came on the the drive function was almost paused while the vehicle was in motion. Acura claimed the issue was minor yet I am going again today. Prior to that issue, something near the tires was scratching or something which they claimed the issue was fixed. What led me to the dealership the first time was the vehicle was jerky at different times while accelerating. Acura performed a software upgrade which fixed the issue for a couple days. At some point, the vehicle needs to be re-assessed and possibly totaled out or something. I have 3 kids and always on the run. I used to trust Acura and the reliability but the issues seem to get worse and worse.

The included infotainment system, which is now predominantly controlled by a touchscreen, is incredibly slow, laggy, and dangerous to operate. There are multiple, ongoing failures with this system - every time I enter the vehicle. As Honda/Acura has removed or replaced primary-operation buttons (32 out of 41, by their count), the mandate to use the other operational system (touchscreen and jog-dial) has increased the risk of safety incidents, exacerbated by a slow user interface response and often-failing voice control system. My vehicle has been in the dealer once, and has been waiting for a software update for five months. New vehicles have an updated software load, but Acura refuses to install it. Acura client relations has refused to provide updates or a solution.

Defect shows as immediate loss of toe alignment in both front tires, lane keep assist computerized feature in unable to turn steering wheel right, and steering wheel position sensor is unable to remain fixed at zero. Steering wheel position sensor: forces the vehicle into oncoming traffic by automatically during front wheels two and five degrees with maximum turning force applied when the road presents any combination of curved, tilted, and bumpy condition. Steering wheel hand sensor – computer applied over-steer forces the car left or right several degrees depending on hand position. Ids: three settings force steering wheel several degrees left or right during braking depending on last applied steering adjustment. When the road is a combination of curved, substantially sloped, or bumpy the computer will apply maximum computerized turning force to move steering wheel up to 45 degrees left into oncoming traffic even when the road slopes and/or curves away from oncoming traffic. A series of software command conflicts and overrides between ids, steering wheel position sensor, steering wheel sensor for hand position, radar, and road position sensor, and other-vehicle sensors routinely cause the computer to perform unintended drive into incoming traffic with maximum computer applied force. Manufacturer refused to provide dealers computer diagnostic equipment that aligns steering wheel sensor with navigation computer, radar, internal/external sensors, ids, and steering wheel hand sensor unless the consumer is willing to pay $700 in equipment transfer costs. Manufacturer demands dealers deny service or avoid writing work orders that contain any indication of a problem with steering wheel sensor, radar, computer-integrated hardware, or ids. Instead verbalize computer-related issues with repair techs to avoid regulatory reporting and California lemon law requirements.
