Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Our MDX has had numerous infotainment issues. The tailgate will open without being present on several occasions. Doors will not unlock on occasion on drivers side with key fob. Wipers will come on without any moisture on various times. Brake warning light will come on while driving without any traffic in front of the vehicle. Rear brakes will hang up and then release while moving slowly.”
NHTSA complaint #10945870, filed 2017-01, 25,000 miles“First use moving visor to driver- side window, visor broke loose dropping to block road view while dangling from power cord. Startled driver while blocked view caused loss of control to median while traffic avoided accident by swerving to shoulder. Passenger side visor similarly failed on first use two days later. This defect is going to kill someone if not recalled and corrected.”
NHTSA complaint #10650097, filed 2014-10, 2,100 miles“The sun/moon roof glass on our 2015 Acura MDX spontaneously shattered while my wife was driving down a major thoroughfare in our area. If the inside cover below the glass had been open, my wife could have been seriously injured by falling shards of glass. Furthermore, she could have been easily distracted and involved in an accident by the loud, exploding sound of the glass shattering. An inspection by myself and the dealer service department determined no external force or object caused the glass to shatter. It happened spontaneously. …”
