2007 Acura Mdx

BATTERY KEEPS DRAINING DUE TO HFL MODULE. REPLACED BATTERY AND STILL KEEPS ON DRAINING. HFL UNIT HOT ENOUGH TO MELT PLASTIC AND POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF MDX DRIVERS AND ACURA SAYS THEY NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT. YEA RIGHT! FOR THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE THAT WE ALL PAY FOR WE EXPECT GREAT RESULTS. ACURA YOU NEED TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE HFL MODULES BEFORE THIS CAUSES A CAR FIRE AND POSSIBLE HOUSE FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ACURA MDX. EACH MORNING WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD FAIL TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I PURCHASED A 07 ACURA MDX 1 MONTH AGO WITH 115,500 MILES AND GOT THE EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. HALL NISSAN PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF HALL ACURA'S LOT. THEY PRINTED OUT A RECEIPT FROM ALL THE WORK ACURA DID BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR, AND ENSURED ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT THAT IT WENT THROUGH A 150 POINT INSPECTION. I TOOK IT TO ACURA 2.5 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A TRANNY CODE POPPED UP. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND FOUND $7,000 WORTH OF MALFUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT. TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR, BOTH FRONT STRUTS, AC COIL AND MAGNETIC CLUTCH, FRONT CV AXLE BOOT LEAKING, REAR SHOCKS, REAR SWAY BAR BUSHINGS, TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSE LEAKING. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH NUMEROUS MANAGERS ABOUT THIS, THEY WONT REPLACE THE CV AXEL ASSEMBLY (SUGGESTED FIX), THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE (SUGGESTED FIX), OR FRONT STRUTS OR BACK SHOCKS WHICH FAILED UPON INSPECTION. THEY ARE TELLING MY WARRANTY WONT COVER IT BECAUSE I HAVEN'T OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 60 DAYS. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE SOLD ME A CAR TELLING ME EVERYTHING IS OK AND WHEN I TAKE IT BACK TO THE SAME ACURA SERVICE SHOP THAT DID THE ORIGINAL INSPECTION 2 WEEKS LATER THERE IS NOW $7,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THERE IS A FEW THINGS WRONG WITH IT THAT WAS SAID WAS FIXED ON THE ORIGINAL WORK ORDER THAT THEY NEVER DID. WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS THE SUSPENSION MAKES A CLUNK FROM THE FRONT. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

SEVERAL TIMES, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS LUCKY TO BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT ON A HIGHWAY. THE DEALER STATED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BLUETOOTH AND WE HAVE HAD IT REPLACED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE BLUETOOTH WAS UNDER ACURA WARRANTY. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE BLUETOOTH IS DRAWING ENERGY CONSTANTLY AND THE DEALER SUGGESTED WE DISCONNECT IT TO AVOID THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENING AGAIN. BUT THAT IS THE REASON I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2007. IT HAD INTEGRATED BLUETOOTH. THE TIMES THE CAR OFF WHILE DRIVING LUCKILY WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I JUST HOPE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE WE ARE ON THE HIGHWAY. ACURA ALSO STATED THAT MAYBE THE WIRING TO THE BATTERY WAS STRETCHED AND I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THAT WIRE. I BELIEVE THE BLUETOOTH AND ITS CONTROLS ARE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN BUT ACURA DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT.

RELATED TO HANDS FREE LINK WHICH HASN'T WORK IN TWO YEARS. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES (ONCE TWICE ONE WEEK, UNDER WARRANTY). I REPLACED THE BATTERY A WEEK AGO AND ASK THEM TO PLEASE RESET HANDS FREE LINK (A REQUEST I MAKE EVERY TIME THE CAR IS SERVICED) AND MY CAR NAV FLICKERS NOW. TWO DAY AGO THE CAR MOMENTARILY LOST POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN!!!!!!! I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ON STREET WITH 35MPH SPEED LIMIT AND NO OTHER CARS. IT WAS TERRIFYING.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A COMPLAINT ON ACURA MDX 2007 SPORT ENTERTAINMENT ON REPLACING STRUTS. THE VALUE ON REPLACING THEM IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE AND I HAVE READ SOME MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACE EVERY 50,000 MILES COULD THIS BE A RECALL BECAUSE REPLACING THEM EVERY 50,000 MILES AT A HIGH VALUE IS TO EXPENSIVE.

CONSTANTLY HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WE WENT ON A VACATION AND CAME BACK TO FIND THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DEAD. TOOK IT IN AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD HANDS FREE UNIT WHICH WAS REPLACED. NOW WE ARE HAVING ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. EACH TIME WE TURN THE CAR ON THE AUTO SETTING TOGGLE BETWEEN DRIVER 1 AND DRIVER 2 SETTINGS. OCCASIONALLY YOU HEAR A POP ON THE SPEAKERS WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE. NOW WE HAVE THE CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT COME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A MONEY PIT WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT NOBODY SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. WE HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT WITH NO LUCK.

1.TODAY WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE TO START MY 2007 MDX, THE "CHECK STARTER SYSTEM" LIT UP. I WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND TRIED AGAIN, MY VEHICLE STARTED UP. GOT TO WORK 1 HOUR LATER, TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON WITHOUT ISSUE. HOPING IT STARTS AFTER WORK. THIS PROBLEM JUST SEEMED TO HAPPEN OUT OF NO WHERE. MY BATTERY IS FINE BUT DID HAVE PROBLEMS ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO WHERE I ENDED UP HAVE TO PAY APPROXIMATELY $300 TO HAVE BATTERY CABLES/CONNECTOR REPLACED BY THE ACURA DEALERSHIP. THE FUSE IN THE CABLE OR CONNECTOR WENT BAD.
