NHTSA complaint #10459910, filed 2012-05, 34,400 miles“In november 2013 while the MDX was parked overnight, the driver side rear window regulator failed and the window dropped down into the door.

I have retained both broken parts and offered them to Acura. However, they are not interested in investigating the incident. …”
