Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)ACURA IS NOT STANDING BY ITS BRAND WITH THE KNOWN FAULTY ACTIVE DAMPER SYSTEM ON CERTAIN ACURA YEARS/MODELS. ACURA REFUSES TO PAY CLAIMS AGAINST ITS OWN POLICY ON THE TSB RELEASED. MY VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ACTIVE DAMPERS AND ALL 4 STRUTS NEED REPLACING AT A COST OF ABOUT $4000. ACURA WILL NOT HELP ME STATING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED MAY 8, 2017. HOWEVER THEY INCLUDE VERBIAGE OF 7 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE REGARDLESS OF DATE, MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED FEB 2011 WELL WITHIN THE 7 YEAR TIME FRAME. AT ANY SPEED GOING OVER BUMPS THE CAR MAKE CLUNKY SOUNDS FRONT AND REAR AND FEELS BOATY, LESS STABLE. THE CONDITION WAS HAPPENING SINCE WINTER, 3 OF 4 STRUTS ARE BLOWN. CAUSING A NEED FOR ALL 4 STRUTS TO BE REPLACED. DIAGNOSED 7/7/2017 BECAUSE I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FIGURED I'D WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE TO DRIVE THE 20 MILES TO MY ACURA DEALER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND ACURA REFUSES CLAIMS FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR MOST PEOPLE WITHOUT CAUSE OR JUSTIFICATION. ACURA TREATS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF AN ACURA OEM PART KNOWINGLY FAULTY AS A FAVOR TO CUSTOMERS AND NOT A RIGHT TO SAFETY.
THERE HAS BEEN A THUMPING NOISE AND OTHER FORMS OF INSTABILITY. EVER SINCE PURCHASE, THIS CAR HAS APPEARED UNSTABLE AND A BIT WOBBLY, WHEN RUNNING OVER A SMALL POTHOLE OR A SMALL BUMP. BUT I ATTRIBUTED THIS TO ITS HEAVY WEIGHT. THE STRUT ASSEMBLY, A VERY EXPENSIVE COMPONENT IN THIS ELEPHANT OF A CAR LEAKS, AS DO HUNDREDS OF OTHER SUCH CARS, ESPECIALLY EARLIER MDX, WITH WHICH IT SHARES MANY PARTS.
