Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Never been in accident, Srs warning on dash, so took to Acura service dept in November of 2020, they confirmed it's the opds unit & the opds sensor inside seat, said it's not the seatbelts, & no airbags will deploy if in accident, they want to charge $1700+tax, we are poor & can not afford that or to buy another vehicle, our safety of our family with kids are at risk if in a accident because we can not afford the charge to replace the parts

TAKATA INFLATORS DEAR NHTSA, I HAVE THE FOLLOWING QUESTION THAT I WAS HOPING YOU COULD ANSWER FOR ME: EVERY 2010 ACURA VEHICLE IS RECALLED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MDX, HOW IS IT THAT THE MDX IS NOT ON THE LIST? DID THEY USE A DIFFERENT AIRBAG CONFIGURATION IN THE MDX THAT THEY DID NOT USE IN ALL OTHER MODELS, THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE IT WOULD BE COST EFFECTIVE FOR HONDA? MY WIFE'S 2010 TL WAS ONLY RECENTLY ADDED TO THE LIST (~3 MONTHS AGO), SO I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THE MDX APPEAR ON THE LIST NEXT MONTH. I AM INQUIRING BECAUSE, QUITE FRANKLY, I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE MDX IF THE AIRBAG IS SUSPECT. BEST REGARDS, CONCERNED ACURA OWNER
CPSC: 2010 ACURA MDX: CONSUMER STATED THE CHILD CHOKED ON THE HANGING STRAP FROM THE CEILING WHICH CAUSED HIM TO BE HOSPITALIZED. *SS
PARTIALLY CLOSED DRIVERS DOOR ON SEAT BELT. OPENED DOOR REMOVED SEAT BELT. THEN AFTER DRIVING HOME I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR WITH OR WITHOUT THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS NOR FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OR WITH A KEY. HAD TO CLIMB OUT OF THE CAR OVER THE CENTER CONSOLE OR OUT THE WINDOW. THIS SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND A SAFETY CONCERN IF NEEDING TO EXIT THE CAR SWIFTLY. *JS
