About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Fuel pump (High - pressure & low- pressure) failed which has caused significantly reduced acceleration and caused the engine to stall in mid operation of the vehicle. I (Driver) was the only person in the vehicle and there was no crash. I would say there is high risk of a crash and it is a serious safety hazard. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.This vehicle component was checked by an independent service center and got it repaired. Fuel pump & high pressure pump was ordered and replaced on the vehicle. I paid $1977.59 as the total cost for parts and labor plus tax.

The car several times now has stopped in traffic and died after the idle stop was initiated while stopped in traffic. It will not start up for at least 30 seconds to a minute. We were almost rear-ended because we were stuck in the middle of the road. I was told that Canada has issued a recall because of this issue

Issues have now occurred twice within an approximately 4 week period. First time was near the end of June and the second time occurred on 7/30/20. After stopping on the highway, once for a stoplight and the other time to turn off highway onto another road, the engine stalled/turned off. After vehicle was back in park, I was able to restart the vehicle each time.

Dangerous loss of power while accelerating on the highway! there have been three separate incidences over the last 2 years. While I was trying to accelerate on the highway, the car severely lost power and the "check engine" light started flashing. The car seemed to operate normally after turning off and on the engine. The dealership claimed that there was no computer records of problems after each incidence. Acura just issued a recall of the fuel pump on this model year MDX. However, Acura and the local Acura dealership refused the repair due to the lack of computer record of failure.

The 2017 Acura MDX has an unintended sudden acceleration failure condition. This analysis provides evidence of this issue, and the subsequent communications with Acura client relations which ended with a refusal to acknowledge the issue. The purpose of this document is to provide data and evidence in order to influence Acura to initiate a root cause analysis; with the objective of implementing a solution for all affected vehicles.

Acura MDX 2017 bought brand new. Has shut off completely 5 times in the last 60days. 3 times in the last 2 days. Come to a stop, entire car shuts off along with electronics. Occured the last three times at an intersection waiting to turn left or at a red light.. can't move. Have to restart the car. Dangerous. I've taken it to Acura and they say nothing is wrong. Service tech told me another MDX owner is having same issue.
