While accelerating after a construction zone, the lights on the dash of the vehicle lit up with transmission, emissions, electronic parking brake, and more codes. The car shifted itself into neutral while running between 65-70 mph on the interstate. Multiple vehicles were accelerating after the 55 mph work zone area was over, and we had to swerve between cars to get to the shoulder of the road because the vehicle lost all acceleration capabilities. We have taken the vehicle to the dealer for past recalls and software updates and mentioned this issue happening before and were told that the vehicle showed no codes concerning the electronic parking brake issue. Upon further investigation, there are multiple reports and forums of this particular vehicle having the same issue. Its a miracle we didn't get involved in a massive collision with semi trucks and other vehicles amongst us when the vehicle lost all ability to accelerate. This could cause a huge problem if it were to happen again in a more populated area or at increased speeds. We were stuck on the side of the road for 4 hours waiting on a flatbed to tow it because it locks up the AWD system with the electronic parking brake and doesn't allow the wheels to move. This is the second time we've had it towed for this same issue only to be told that it's not a problem. I'm willing to bet that the company knows exactly what the issue is but won't issue a recall because they don't classify it as a safety recall until people start losing their lives or cost the company stockholders money. This problem has the ability to cause major harm or death to people with this vehicle if it were to shift itself into neutral or lock up the electronic parking brake while in a heavy populated area. I hope they issue a safety recall and hold the company accountable before people lose their life.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"ACURA","productModel":"MDX","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]},{"odiNumber":11736582,"manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"03/12/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"05/08/2026","vin":"5FRYD4H5XHB","components":"STRUCTURE","summary":"The paint on the roof between the sunroof and front windshield is peeling.

Acura issued Service Bulletin 23\u2011008 acknowledging a software defect, but my VIN was denied eligibility despite matching the bulletin\u2019s criteria. This is a safety\u2011critical failure affecting many owners, and Acura is forcing consumers to pay for camera replacement instead of providing the software fix. My 2017 Acura MDX (VIN [XXX] ) is experiencing a failure of the multipurpose front camera, which controls several collision\u2011avoidance systems including:  Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)  Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)  Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)  Forward Collision Warning (FCW)  All of these systems became disabled, and the vehicle displays multiple warning lights. The diagnostic code stored is U3000\u201149 (FCW/LDW Camera Unit Malfunction).  Acura issued Service Bulletin 23\u2011008, which states that:  \u201cA problem exists with the detection logic in the multipurpose camera software.\u201d  The bulletin applies to all 2017\u20132018 Acura MDX trims, and the corrective action is a software update to the camera module. My vehicle matches the exact symptoms described in the bulletin.  However, Acura and the dealership informed me that my VIN is \u201cnot eligible\u201d for the update, even though the bulletin explicitly lists my model year and trim. Instead, I was told I must pay for a full camera replacement, costing over $1,200, despite Acura acknowledging the issue is software\u2011related. This leaves me with a disabled safety system and no manufacturer\u2011supported remedy. The failure is widespread among 2017 MDX owners, and many report identical symptoms and identical denials of coverage. Because this defect disables multiple federally relevant safety systems simultaneously, I believe this should be treated as a safety recall, not a customer\u2011paid repair. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and require Acura to provide the software update.Thank you.

The traffic was somewhat heavy and and cars were speeding pass me, brakes screeching, horns blowing and my car steadily losing power. I was afraid, I didn't know what to do. I was trying to find a safe place to pull off the road. It was a traumatic experience as a large truck swerved into the other lane of traffic to avoid hitting me, almost causing an accident. Luckily I made it home safely. I had a mechanic look at it the next day and he said the engine needed to be replaced. Not convinced of the diagnosis, I had the car towed to another mechanic who confirmed the engine would have to be replaced. I had no issues with the car or the mechanics of the car prior to this. I could not for the life of me understand how my 2017 Acura MDX with only 74,000 miles on it, could possibly need a new engine unless it was defective. So I then towed the car to the Acura dealership where they confirmed, the engine needed to be replaced. However, when I asked about the engine recall, I was told my VIN is not included in the recall although it is the same exact issue. Acura did offer a one time goodwill assistance for 25% of the repair costs if performed at Acura. Admission of guilt knowing my car has a defective engine is what that says to me about Acura's offer of 25%! Since the car was useless without a engine, I have since had it repaired by an independent mechanic. I'm very disappointed in Acura.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"ACURA","productModel":"MDX","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]},{"odiNumber":11708583,"manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/17/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"01/03/2026","vin":"5FRYD4H83HB","components":"FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE","summary":"Dear Acura,  My MDX is showing many lights on the dashboard (LKAS, ACC, Break System, CMBS, RDM) associates with the code U3000-49 and all those features are deactivated due to the failure mentioned.

My Transmission Shifts to Neutral Unexpectedly. It happens when I'm driving. Most of the time it shifts back to Drive. Therefore, it never bothered me, it happened since I bough the car. It didn't happen often so I didn't think anything of it. However, lately it started to happen more often. Now when it shifts to Neutral it doesn't want to shift back do Drive. My concern happened when I was on a highway driving in a middle lane. I had to pull over and when it shifts to Neutral. When it shifts to Neutral you can't add gas and the vehicle starts slowing down. I received warning on my dashboard ((P))! - Electric Parking Brake Problem and (transition picture)- Emission System Problem came on. I turned the car off and then on. After, I turned on and Press D or R the car doesn't want to go forward or reverse. I have to turn the car off for about 15 min and then when I turn the car on and press Drive it drives without a problem. Recently, it started to happen more often. I happened to me today. I was on 2 line road on a left lane. My car stated to slow down. I was lucky nobody was on right lane, so I was able to change lanes and then I had to pull over and turn the car off. I waited 5 min turned the car on and it drove. I'm scared that I might not be as lucky as I was and get in an accident when the transmission shifts to neutral. My VIN is not on recall but there is a recall on 2016-2020 Acura MDX with same problem. 16V640/KC2 recall. I already contacted my dealer with no luck. They told me to contact Acura.

I was traveling on the freeway at approximately 80 MPH, in lane 3 or 4, when my vehicle suddenly began to hesitate and lose power without any warning.  In that moment, fear and panic took over. Cars were flying past me, and I could feel my truck rapidly decelerating. I immediately turned on my hazard lights and began honking to alert other drivers, praying they would give me space to move over. Thankfully, I was able to carefully navigate across lanes and reach the far-left shoulder.  Once I got into the acceleration/deceleration lane, the vehicle suddenly lurched forward and began accelerating again\u2014completely on its own. I knew I couldn't risk staying on the road, so I exited at the next ramp and pulled into a gas station, still shaken. After refueling, I attempted to restart the truck, but it would no longer shift into Drive or Neutral. The truck was stuck in Park and completely inoperable.  A roadside mechanic responded to my call for help and made several attempts to restore mobility, but nothing worked. I spent the evening stranded and alone, unsure of what to do next.  The following day, [XXX], I had the vehicle towed to Honda South near Atlanta, GA. After inspection, I was informed that the issue was a complete transmission failure. In addition to needing a new transmission, the vehicle also required replacement of critical sub-assembly components, including the transmission control module (TCM).  This situation was not just a mechanical failure\u2014it was a serious safety event that put my life and the lives of others at risk. I\u2019m still shaken by what happened and deeply concerned about how such a failure could occur so suddenly and without warning.

The errors occur intermittently during my work commute.   When I contacted customer service, I was told by Case Manager (Andrew) on [XXX] @ [XXX] pm that nothing could be done unless I brought the vehicle in while the warning lights were actively on.  This is unrealistic and dismissive.  It is not always possible or safe to divert immediately to a dealership and I do not believe that Acura expects its customers to drive around hoping a warning light stays on long enough to be seen by a technician.  I understand that modern vehicles like the MDX store fault codes even after warning lights disappear.  That Is the purpose of diagnostic equipment.  Denying a warranty repair based on whether a technician witnessed an error live undermines the value of the extended warranty i paid for raises serious concerns about safety and accountability.  I plan to visit DCH Montclair and attempt to schedule an appointment in advance.  I expect a full diagnostic scan to be performed, with no fee applied unless the issue is clearly outside of warranty.  I am requesting the following:  A complete diagnostic of stored fault codes, regardless of whether the dashboard errors are active at the time of service.  Full written documentation of the findings and action taken  A clear explanation of any charges and why they would apply under my extended warranty.

This vehicle only has 67,589 miles on it. (which is out of warranty by 6800 miles.) All of the information that I have investigated states that the only way a CAM shaft goes bad is insufficient lubrication, improper break-in, reusing old/worn components, mechanical interferences, and inferior hardware/hardware not torqued to spec.

In early April of 2022, the front passenger seat belt of my MDX stopped working. I was asked to come into your dealership to confirm that it was not working, and I did so on 12 April 2022. At that time a new seat belt was ordered, and I was told it would take about a month at most.

I ask you [XXX], what would you think if you were in my situation?    This MDX is my only car, and I have had limited use of it to carry passengers for over a year due to the effective loss of the front passenger seat.  Because this is a safety issue, my hands are further tied in that I cannot trade or sell my MDX.  It is very strange that this seat belt stopped working, and I have to wonder if it was a design or manufacturing defect. Nevertheless, I have been the only one dealing with the consequences, and I have had to do so for over a year.  I am unwilling to continue to do so, and now propose that Piazza Acura treat this like any other extended warranty repair situation and provide me with a comparable late-model MDX loaner free of charge until such time as Piazza Acura and the Honda Corporation can provide me with and install a new, manufacturer-supplied front passenger seat belt.

This issue needs to be addressed before it creates a scenario with fatalities.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"ACURA","productModel":"MDX","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]},{"odiNumber":11458005,"manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"03/20/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"03/23/2022","vin":"5FRYD4H5XHB","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"On March 20, 2022, I was on the freeway going 65 miles per hour in the fast lane and my transmission warning light came on and the car went in to Neutral and lost all power on the gas pedal and the car would not move. I could not put it in Park or it would roll backwards so I put on my hazard lights and kept my foot on the brake. I was almost rear ended several times as it was 9:30pm and no lights on the freeway in the area I was at and no place to get out and find a safe spot as my car would have rolled backwards as it would not come out of Neutral and at that spot in the freeway there is only cement walls. I was able to get the Calif. Highway Patrol to get me a tow company that could tow my car after I called 911. AAA which I have said it would be 90 minutes. I would have been killed before that. The tow truck driver had to tow my car to the Hopkins Acura dealership in Fairfield, CA where I had just had it serviced the Thursday and Friday before on March 17 and 18 for the car's 100,000 maintenance work. The Hopkins Acura said they test drove it after the maintenance work which cost me $3500.00 but my speedometer showed they only put 1.5 miles on my car so they did not test drive it far. The dealership said they do not touch the transmission during the big maintenance but this car was driving fine and for this transmission to just stop and freeze is so dangerous. The dealership says they will fix the transmission as they spoke to two different companies they work with but they want me to pay $600.00 of the repair which I do not think is fair.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"ACURA","productModel":"MDX","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]},{"odiNumber":11453855,"manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/15/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"02/24/2022","vin":"5fryd4h88hb","components":"SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE","summary":"This morning I read that you were investigating the automatic braking for certain Honda models.

I WAS DRIVING THE SUV AT LOW SPEED WHEN IT BRIEFLY ACCELERATED, I WAS KIND OF STUNNED, AND ASKED DID YOU FEEL THAT, SHE SAID YES, AND THEN STATED I GUESS I WASN'T IMAGING IT WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME, THESE WERE SEPARATE ISSUES AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND DATES.  THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE AND THIS ISSUE WAS MENTIONED, THE SERVICE WRITER EXPLAINED THAT ACURA IS AWARE OF THIS AND IT'S AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE AND ACURA HAS NO FIX, IT WAS ASKED WHY ACURA HASN'T WARNED OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE WRITER EXPLAINED IT'S A INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT HASN'T BEEN REPLICATED IN SERVICE AND DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ALL THE VEHICLES.  WE ASKED DOESN'T SOMEONE THINK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, THAT WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN LACONIA NH BIKE WEEK IT COULD HAVE ACCELERATED INTO A MOTORCYCLE OR PEDESTRIAN.

I HEARD A LOUD BANG, LIKE A GUN SHOT, AND A SUDDEN NOISE LIKE TURBULENT AIR AND HIGHWAY NOISE.  AS I SLOWED THE VEHICLE I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY BROKEN WINDOWS WHICH THERE WEREN'T.  PULLING OVER AND INSPECTING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED 2/3 OF THE MOONROOF WAS MISSING AND A FEW PEBBLES OF PLATE GLASS ON TOP OF THE INSIDE COVER.  THE REMAINING GLASS WAS ANGLED UP LIKE IT HAD BEEN SUCKED UP NOT DEFLECTED DOWN FROM AN IMPACT.  I WAS A NAVY FIGHTER PILOT AND THIS IS THE SAME SEQUENCE OF EVENTS I EXPERIENCED WITH THE LOSS OF A CANOPY AND SUDDEN DECOMPRESSION.  I HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING AND I KNOW THE LOCATION OF THE MOONROOF IS A LOW PRESSURE AREA LIKE THE TOP OF AN AIRCRAFT WING.  THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY, NO OBJECTS FLYING OFF THE ROAD, NOR WAS THE VEHICLE UNDER AN UNDERPASS.  THIS IS A COMBINATION OF A DESIGN FLAW AND POSSIBLY A DEFECT IN THE MOONROOF GLASS. THE VEHICLE IS 3 MONTHS OLD, LESS THAN 3000 MILES DRIVEN AND THE MOONROOF HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED.  ACURA TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY.  THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS A LESS EXPERIENCED STARTLED DRIVER COULD BE SO DISTRACTED AS TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.  THE FIX IS A WIND DEFLECTOR IN FRONT OF THE MOONROOF.  I AM HAVING ONE INSTALLED AT MY EXPENSE BY THE ACURA.  I WOULD PREFER A METAL SUNROOF OR A FACTORY ROOFLINE MODIFICATION TO DEFLECT THE AIRSTREAM AND PREVENT THE LOW PRESSURE AREA CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. GOOGLING MOONROOF EXPLOSION YIELDS NUMEROUS INCIDENTS FROM MULTIPLE MANUFACTURERS.  THERE NEEDS TO BE A FIX BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS.
