2007 Acura MDX owner complaints

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 Acura mdx. The contact went on a trip and returned to find that the GPS, exterior lighting, radio, and other electrical components failed. Only the interior lighting was functioning properly. The contact called roadside assistance and they discovered that the battery was drained. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 13,000.

Several times, the electrical system shuts off while driving. I was lucky to be in the neighborhood and not on a highway. The dealer stated there is a problem with the bluetooth and we have had it replaced. This is the second time this has occured. The first time it happened, the bluetooth was under Acura warranty. It was explained to me that the bluetooth is drawing energy constantly and the dealer suggested we disconnect it to avoid the same issue happening again. But that is the reason I had bought the car in 2007. It had integrated bluetooth. The times the car off while driving luckily was at a traffic light and in our neighborhood. I just hope it does not happen while we are on the highway. Acura also stated that maybe the wiring to the battery was stretched and I had to pay

Over the past two years have had to inexplicably jump mdx when it fails to start, usually after sitting over night. (confirmed no auxiliary power left on.) will be fine for a period of time, and symptoms reappear. Have now changed battery twice in past year. Four months after most recent battery change, battery was dead again. This time after jumped the car threw some additional warning lights around charging system. After trying to return to the parking space, the car started was not driving properly, seems to be electrical. After reading forums online my symptoms match very closely to others that have a handsfreelink issue on this model mdx. (parasitic power draw.) contacting Acura today, as this time the car is not drive-able.

I've experienced several electrical issues electrical with my vehicle the most troubling was the vehicle completely shut off on the highway then immediately restarted!!!! In addition to this, the next issue is battery performance. The battery is constantly drained. In the 11 years that I owned the vehicle, the battery has been replaced 4 times. (I initially thought this was associated with my bluetooth being connected but I've disconnected this many years ago and the issues still persist. I was strained on winter because the battery drained and was stuck at the airport for 3 1/2 hours waiting for aaa. Lastly, I turned my car on this past sunday when my MIL display "check transmission." I brought the car to Acura for service and they have informed me that the gear position sensor mu

Related to hands free link which hasn't work in two years. I have replaced the battery several times (once twice one week, under warranty). I replaced the battery a week ago and ask them to please reset hands free link (a request I make every time the car is serviced) and my car nav flickers now. Two day ago the car momentarily lost power while I was driving in town!!!!!!! I was fortunate to be on street with 35mph speed limit and no other cars. It was terrifying.

Battery in our 2007 Acura mdx has had to be replaced 3 times in the past couple of months! Turns out that the handsfree link module was draining the battery and causing it having to be replaced numerous times. This could cause a fire which can pose as a deadly result especially if the car is parked inside of a garage. This needs to be replaced by Acura free of charge asap! I disconnected it rather than replacing it after reading the numerous complaints on this matter! *js

Engine shuts off in the middle of drive on the road regardless of the speed. When this happens car lost total electrical power resulting in blackout, not able to turn on hazard light also, steering wheel is tight unable to turn the vehicle.. Need to reset navigation code, and audio codes to restart GPS navigation respectively. I was

Constantly having electrical problems. We went on a vacation and came back to find the battery completely dead. Took it in and they diagnosed the problem as a bad hands free unit which was replaced. Now we are having all kinds of electrical problems. Each time we turn the car on the auto setting toggle between driver 1 and driver 2 settings. Occasionally you hear a pop on the speakers when you start the engine. Now we have the check airbag system light come on and won't go off. This car has been a money pit with electrical problems that nobody seems to be able to diagnose. We have spent over $1000 trying to figure it out with no luck.

Engine shut off while driving approx. 35 MPH, resulting in total loss of power steering and brakes and electrical systems.. Pulled over and brought car to a stop. Was in the process of getting out to check engine when interior lights came on, restarted engine and commenced to drive approx. A mile when it all repeated. Got car home and called for tow truck to take car to Acura dealership where I had purchased 1 month previously. *tr

1.today when I went outside to start my 2007 mdx, the "check starter system" lit up. I waited about 30 seconds and tried again, my vehicle started up. Got to work 1 hour later, turned car off and back on without issue. Hoping it starts after work. This problem just seemed to happen out of no where. My battery is fine but did have problems about 8 months ago where I ended up have to pay approximately $300 to have battery cables/connector replaced by the Acura dealership. The fuse in the cable or connector went bad.

Torque converter on 2007 Acura mdx failed at 42k miles. Acura dealer replaced under warranty. *tr

Torque converter judder is felt while driving with growling and vibration from the transmission when going 35-40 MPH.

Random nav reset followed by non-acceleration until rpms reach over 3000. This has happened multiple times since purchasing this vehicle in july 2012. Navigation/radio system resets. Soon followed by problem of non-acceleration. Ex: following reset, stop at traffic light, stop sign, etc. Light turns green. Car feels as though it is stuck in 1st gear. Will not accelerate over 1000 rpms. Extremely slow movement thru intersection then car slams into gear and rpms top 3000. After rough shift car performance is mostly normal, sometimes hard shifting. Next red light repeat performance. If put into park and then back to drive transmission seems to "reset" and may or may not repeat above action. If car is turned off and left to sit for a short time it usually does not repeat but for how long is

The electronic suspension on our 07 mdx is an extra paid option, we did not buy new but we still paid for that option as it increases value new or used... The rear dampers in ours are leaking and for a set to replace costs at least $1000 in parts and then you have to pay labor. This is a premium brand, but it is not an exotic... Not sure why an Acura ads suspension part that probably costs them $50 to make, costs the consumer (aka the ppl who keep Acura in business) $500+ each. This is obviously a major and expensive flaw in acuras suspension and they should replace for free or at the least price the part so it's affordable. I have a 12 yr old Lexus that has the original suspension and is still working like it should... *tr

Takata recall I have a complaint on Acura mdx 2007 sport entertainment on replacing struts. The value on replacing them is ridiculously expensive and I have read some many complaints about the same issue that they need to be replace every 50,000 miles could this be a recall because replacing them every 50,000 miles at a high value is to expensive.

I have a 2007 mdx with about 125,000 miles on it. I received a notification dared november 2016 from Acura that the front and rear active dampers might be bad. The vehicle makes clunking and banging sounds when I drive on rough roads or go over speed bumps and I believe that the dampers are bad. I requested a review, case 05228502 and was immediately rejected by an Acura employee in torrance ca. This is the first model year to be recalled and I believe that most are over the 100,000 mile limit.

Vehicle has developed leak in rack and pinion and power steering pump is failing at 70,000 miles which caused vehicle to be difficult to steer and could lead to possible accident. *kb

Newest info from iihs shows that both of my Acura mdx's ('04 and early '07) did very poorly on the rear collision/head restraint test (whiplash). Acura apparently realized this blunder because mdx's made after may '07 passed with flying colors. This has me very concerned to say the least for me and my families safety. Acura changed something with regard to the seats and I wish they would apply it to all of the mdx's (at least my '07). *tr

Takata recall: I recently purchased my vehicle from a used car dealership. Shortly afterwards, I was mailed a hard copy of an airbag settlement class action lawsuit involving Honda motors and takata. I have the notice in my possession, citing my vehicle as one of the declared recipients within the settled class action lawsuit. I am simply conducting my due diligence in reporting my vehicle as it has become my property and hence, my new problem.

At 62,000 miles the left headlight failed. Dealer indicated that the xenon bulb, igniter and control unit had all failed and blown a fuse. Repair cost was approximately $1,000, of which Acura paid 75% as a goodwill gesture. Now, at 72,000 miles, the right side headlight has failed requiring replacement of the igniter and control unit at a cost of over $600. Headlights are safety components and it appears there is a design defect causing premature failure of these items. A bulb is one thing. But the components controlling the function of the xenon bulbs should outlast them in my opinion. Waiting to see if Acura will assist in the cost of this repair. *tr
