Multiple batteries were changed because initially the thinking was that the battery needed to be replaced. Car alarm would go off in the middle of the night (with a new battery) when parked in the garage.  All the electrical systems and lights would start turning off and on as if the car is possessed.  Manufacturer is aware of the problem.  Many others are complaining on the internet.  There are variety of hacks including rigging the sensor that are suggested.  Dealer said the entire control unit had to be replaced for $1122.  Repair was made.  They said when they run out of parts (control unit) they also disconnect the sensor.  So you have cars on the highways that are no longer appropriately indicating when the hood is down (shut correctly or whether it is a false alarm.  I called the manufacturer they didn't take responsibility (Case 14470102) with Acura/Honda.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"ACURA","productModel":"MDX","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
