I received a recall notice and made an appointment to have my vehicle repaired. Upon taking it to the dealership and them fixing it I drove home my car immediately began running hot. I called the dealership back and he told me to bring it back in. I was issued a loaner vehicle. I received a call stating that my radiator had somehow come loose and that my engine was blown. I was so upset so I called back and told him my mechanic was coming with me now all of a sudden the engine is not blown but instead warped and can be machined. I feel they damaged my vehicle by doing the recall and they don't want to take accountability for it. Please help me.

In October of 2014 SRS light came on in my 2003 Acura md. Acura reported faulty SRS unit and replaced unit at owners expense. At same service appointment, Acura replaced air bag inflator under recall (sb 14-029) under warranty. Subsequently, another airbag recall (sb-14-023) was completed 12/9/14. SRS unit now placed on recall list by NHTSA. Owner applied to american Honda for reimbursement of costs to replace defective SRS unit (10/14) but was denied because "there was no deployment of air bag prior to the replacement" (10/14). I'm confused. This particular year/model SRS unit is being recalled/replaced due to the potential for life threatening deployment problems. In addition there were several other recalls associated with this model's airbag system clearly indicating that there were/are problems with the 2003 Acura MDX. Fortunately, my SRS unit in question was replaced (for noted defects) prior to a disastrous deployment. As such, why am I not being reimbursed for the prior replacement of my unit that has now been placed on the recall list?

2003 Acura MDX. Consumer would like to replace airbags on car but was unsuccessful, because no recall had been issued for the consumers model.

My daughters MDX was driven by her son and he had to make a sudden stop under rainy conditions. There was no crash, and the slightest contact with the stopped car in front. There is no damage to either car, the touch was so slight there was not even a scratch nor a bent license plate. To our shock the steering wheel airbag had deployed and safety belts locked up. There is no way that airbag should of deployed. There is a recall for the airbag system. The dealer did part of several parts of the recall, but refused to replace the steering wheel airbag and repair the frozen front seat belts.

My son was driving in town normal speed it was raining, he had to make a quick stop to avoid a car in front of him that made a quick stop also. The bumpers barely touched, left no marks at all, not even to the front license plate. The airbag deployed and black and blued his arm. We received a recall notice for this 2003 MDX. Took it in to libertyville Acura and they fixed one part of the recall but refused to fix the deployed airbag and seatbelts. That's not right! the steering wheel airbag should not have deployed without a crash! what gives. A recall without repairs is nothing but lip service. How many of us are out there" how many others are or, were denied also" the car is still at the dealer. They have not fixed the problem.

The airbag light on my 2003 Acura MDX came on 9/1/04. Acura bedford hills looked at the car on 9/2/04 and said there was a problem with the passenger airbag sensor, it was "safe to drive", and they'd order a new part. On 9/4/04, the car became fully engulfed in flames within 5 minutes of when we started the vehicle. The fire began under the passenger seat (I was sitting on it). The car was totaled, and my insurance company has hired a fire investigator. Acura has done nothing to date.

I purchased a 2003 Acura MDX in December, 2002 from gillman Acura, houston Texas. On the date of my complaint, the vehicle had just over 11,400 miles. On Sept. 05, 2003, I hit a rock on the highway which punctured my left front tire and dented my wheel. Additiionally, the front seat belts locked up and are now not functioning. Additionally, the airbag light on my dash board is blinking. I took the vehicle into gillman Acura on 09/08, knowing I would pay for the wheel and tire. They (gillman Acura and Acura corporate, torrence, ca) informed me that the seat belts must be replaced at my cost (>$1,00O). They also claim the seatbelts functioned properly via the 'tensiones' locking up the seat belts. Additionally, they claim the blinking light for the passenger air bag may need to be computer controlled which also would be at my cost. This is totally contrary to gillman and Acura' written and implied warranties I received when I purchased the vehicle. They twist the warranty and an authorized representative from Acura has not even inspected my vehicle. I was told by Acura that they would look at it but the conclusion is final. They are not paying to get me seat belts into proper working order. Thus, I have a 2003 vehicle which is unsafe to drive and neglected by the manufacturer to take responsibility for thier warranty. Other dealers I have spoken with concur that gillman Acura is responsible for the repair. They have all informed me that seat belts are designed to lock and subsequently retract. It is a safety hazard to have any seat belt which locks up and does not release. I am requesting NHTSA asssist me in resolving this issue. I have had nothing but trouble from Acura since my purchase and they have blatantly lied to me on several occasions. Additonally, the tensioners
