We have been the original owners of our 2005 MDX. on December 12/18/21 at 630. We were wearing our seat belts. We were driving in clear weather on a new street at 35 miles an hour. The passenger side seat airbag and the right side curtain deployed. My wife was sitting in the front passenger seat. There was no collision or hazard. The Airbag just exploded. We were not hit by any metal objects. The Mdx is in perfect working order and we are now told no one will cover the damage. Insurance and the Dealership. We are writing to find out how we can get a fair outcome from our car becoming unusable due to manufactures defect. We have not touched the airbag or the car since this happened. Would we be able to have it inspected?

Vehicle suddenly brakes at freeway speeds and sways to one side. VSA light and warning light comes on. After couple of seconds, vehicle resumes freeway speed. This has happened few times in last 2 weeks. It causes the SUV to sway and can easily lose control or drift into adjacent lane causing accident. After stopping and restarting the warning lights go away.

When making a sharp turn on hot days the car makes a grinding noise like something is grabbing the tire. It slows the car, hands the steering wheel and then the VSA hazard light comes on. It is a recurring issue and mechanics have not been able to diagnose.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A PRIVATE AUCTION IN HESPERIA, CA AROUND AUGUST OF 2020 AND I AM CURRENTLY THE REGISTERED OWNER AS OF TODAY. ABOUT A MONTH INTO THE PURCHASE I NOTICE THE CAR JERK AND BRAKE UNUSUALLY WHILE IN MOTION. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED AT THE TIME SO I IGNORED IT FOR THE MOMENT. THEN ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH AFTER THAT INCIDENT MY WIFE, KIDS AND I WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE 15FWY HEADED SOUTH AND THIS TIME IT HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN AND MORE AGGRESSIVELY DUE TO IS TRAVELING AT A MUCH GREATER SPEED AND DID JERK A LOT HARDER ALMOST MAKING MY WIFE LOSE CONTROL. LUCKILY SHE WAS ALERT AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER RIGHT AWAY AND THAT'S WHEN WE NOTICED A NEW LIGHT ON THE I DASH HAD ILLUMINATED. WE SEE THE ACRONYM (VSA) ILLUMINATE AND I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PARTICULAR LIGHT BEFORE SO I THEN START TO RESEARCH IT. I FIND OUT IT'S PART OF AN ANTI LOCK FEATURE AND IT'S SUFFICE WHEN DEALING WITH CURVY ROADS AND HELPS WITH TRACTION WHICH GIVES SMOOTHER TURNS WHILE DRIVING AND GIVES BETTER CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO READ IT'S BEST TO KEEP THIS FEATURE OFF WHILE COMMUTING IN YOUR REGULAR EVERYDAY TRANSIT. SO AS MONTHS GO BY IT HAPPENED TO ME A GOOD HANDFUL OF TIMES AFTERWARDS BUT AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND THIS TIME THE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF WHEN I TRIED TURNING OFF THE VSA CONTROL BUTTON ON THE DRIVER SIDE DASH. I DIDN'T HAVE MEANS TO REPAIR THIS PART SO I PUT IT OFF ONCE AGAIN. WELL COMING TO A MORE RECENT EVENT WHICH RESULTED IN MYSELF LOSING CONTROL WHILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT 11:30PM AT NIGHT AND TOTALING THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS FLIPPING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT CAME TO A REST ON ITS SIDE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE VSA FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED MADE ME LOSE CONTROL AT 62-65 MPH ALMOST CLAIMING MY LIFE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY RECENT ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING AND HAS CAUSED FINANCIAL STRESS UPON MY FAMILY.

AS I AM DRIVING MY 5 YEAR OLD TO KARATE ON A LOCAL ROAD WITH 40 MILES PER HOUR, MY WHOLE LEFT SIDE AIR BAG CURTAIN DEPLOYED FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. ( I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING AND NO ONE HIT ME EITHER). I GOT A BRUISED HAND, SMALL CONCUSSION AND A MASSIVE RASH ( FROM CHEMICALS IN THE AIR BACK). I CALLED ACURA AND WAS TOLD TO GO FOR DIAGNOSTIC AT LOCAL ACURA DEALERSHIP. I WAS CHARGED $99 AND WAS TOLD TO CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I ASKED WHY SINCE THERE WASN'T AN ACCIDENT INVOLVED AND THE ANSWER WAS ' I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE COME HERE AND CLAIMS THAT THIS HAPPENS TO THEM BUT HAVE NO PROOF'. I GUESS THE AIR BACK IN MY TRUNK AND NO DAMAGE TO THE REST OF MY CAR IS NOT PROOF ENOUGH!!! I WILL BE TALKING TO A LAWYER AT THIS POINT!

VSA light came on and my braking system halts and make a weird vibration when I press brake to stop at stop light it like it make a grabbing noise. Not sure if it happen prior to light engaging. It has happen a handful of time since initial notice could have been onset from around 2019-2020 can’t remember as I looked up any recall but there were recall for this instance but no on my car which makes no sense for my VSA light to engage. I do not drive off road and I live in an island with no major freeways.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED 60MPH RIGHT SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG,RIGHT FRONT SEAT AIRBAG AND RIGHT SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT PRE TENSIONER DEPLOYED. WHEN THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED A PIECE OF THE RIGHT SIDE GRAB BAR HIT THE DRIVER IN THE FACE. THE FRONT PASSENGER HAD ABRASION ON HER FACE FROM THE AIRBAG HITTING HER.

I have a 2005 MDX. It allows me to take out my key without putting it in park. Being unaware, I turned it off while it was still in drive and it rolled back into another parked vehicle November of 2019. There is a report with the police department and my insurance covered the other vehicle's repair costs. It has rolled several times in the last couple years but luckily not into other cars. I don't remember having this problem prior to the last couple years. It is a safety issue and dangerous to others and if I can't get it repaired I would need to get rid of it. The problem is it is still in very good shape otherwise and has many more miles to give. There is no warning to help me remember to put it in park. This started happening sometime in mid 2018. Do I have any recourse?

GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY VEHICLE BRAKES SUDDENLY VSA LIGHT COMES ON ALMOST THREW ME IN THE DITCH UNDER SNOWY CONDITIONS AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO CAME ON

MY 2005 ACURA MDX HAS BEEN DRIVING GREAT SINCE WE PURCHASED IT OVER A YEAR AGO. RECENTLY THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED VERY ABRUPTLY WHEN LIGHTLY APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE LIGHT GOES AWAY AND APPEARS TO RESET WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. NOW EVERY TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN I HAVE TO DRIVE EXTRA CAREFUL BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE VSA LIGHT WILL COME ON AGAIN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS OF THE LIGHT WERE TO COME ON AND THE WHEELS WERE TO LOCK UP LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE SKIDDING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 ACURA MDX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE CONTACT COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION, ON OTHER OCCASIONS IT WAS HARD FOR THE CONTACT TO MAKE TURNS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IT WAS VERY SELDOM WHEN THE STEERING FUNCTIONED NORMALLY.

STARTING GRINDING AFTER I HAD ALL RECALLS DONE I NOTICED THE VSA LIGHT IS NOW ON AN. DIDNT HAVE ANY ISSUE BEFORE THE VECHICAL AT 25 TO 40 MPH STARTS TO SHUTTER AN MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE ... I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH THE SPECIFIC ABILITY TO KEEP ME SAFE AN HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME HAD NO LIGHT APPEARING. THE VSA LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I SEE IT HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PREVIOUSLY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN SERVICED AND THEY INDICATED THEY HAD. I HAVE A HUGE CONCERN KNOWING THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM AND WHEN I ASKED IF THEY COULD REPAIR IT UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL THAT APPEARS TO NOT HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I SOLD MY HONDA ACCORD COUPE FOR A 4 DOOR THINKING HONDA/ACURA PRODUCTS WERE SAFE AND RELIABLE. I HAVE READ FURTHER ABOUT RECALL PROCESSES AND THEY DON'T ALWAYS FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERSHIP CAN STATE THE RECALL WAS REMEDIED. I HAVE AN INFANT AND THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT A 4 DOOR. I REALLY AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND OTHERS WITH THE SAME SCENERIO IN WHICH THEY HAVE SERVICED THE RECALL AND THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN ONLY TO BE TOLD IT IS A 2K FIX THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I REALLY NEED SOME HELP AT THIS POINT, I AM DRIVING MY INFANT AND WOULD HATE FOR THE CAR TO MALFUNCTION CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. RECALL S87, S88, AND S89. THIS LIGHT APPEARS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.
