Tl*the contact owns a 2006 Acura mdx. When placing her child in the third row seat, the contact noticed that there was no setting for the middle headrest for small kids.

Acura a division of Honda has know for many years now about a defective draw on the battery from the hands free bluetooth in this vehicle even when the vehicle is shut off with the ignition key out of the ignition. I have read numerous complaints from the 2004 to 2012 models of all types of Acura models. I have installed two new batteries in the last two years. Vehicle sets more than two days and the battery is drawn down enough that vehicle not only not start, but you can't even get vehicle out of park position so you can be towed or pulled off the road safely unless you drag it locked up. And yes this has happened in a dangerous situation. What if you lose battery power for some reason going down the road? Very dangerous to you and others on the road. I think this should be a recall on a

Vehicle stopped on the road because transmission failure, battery was replaced twice because of bluetooth board failure, always have random missfire codes on engine, check engine light on.

Hfl on my 2006 mdx stopped working a while back. When you press the talk switch, nothing happens. Occasionally, it comes on, but not operational. What I mean is it prompts and I can go through the main menu. But when I try to pair my phone it goes into a never ending scanning loop. It doesn't appear that any handshaking with the phone is established. This same phone works fine with bluetooth in my other car and other devices. So, it's not the phone. For almost an year, the battery on the mdx keep draining and I would require a jump start if I don't use it for 2-3 days. It looks like the faulty bluetooth hfl is causing the battery drain. Many people out there have the same problem, not only with 2006 Acura mdx, but also with some different Acura models. *tr
