problem #1

MDX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 79,000 miles

On April 11, my transmission light came on--had to spend $400 to replace third gear sensor. Then 3 weeks later my A/C took a while to start blowing cold air (not good when you are in Florida). On May 10 the A/C completely stopped working. Another $400 later had to get a new relay sensor and have it recharged. On May 14 my power windows and door locks stopped working. Took it in and after sitting at dealer for 1.5 hours, was given a loaner car. The next morning around 10:30 still no idea what was wrong with my car. On May 15 around 3pm, I was told the multiplex unit would need to be replaced as this was most likely the cause--but this was $600! Told them I could not do that and only agreed to pay a fraction of the cost thanks to the "goodwill" of Acura and only if it fixed the problem. Got the new part and put it in but issue is still present.

I have now been told my Acura is "rare" and they are taking it apart to try to determine the electrical issue. Not happy! Thought Acura were reliable but learning that is not the case.
