DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20MPH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART AND THE BATTERY WAS DISCHARGED. AFTERWARDS, THE AIRBAG AND TIRE MOUNTING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY THE DEALER AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE NAVIGATION UNIT WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY. THE ENGINE STALLING PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED BUT CONTINUED TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THERE WAS A SHORT WITHIN THE AIRBAG SRS MODULE WIRING. ALTHOUGH THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED, THE STALLING CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION, BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
JUST PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2005 ACURA MDX ON NOV 3, 2010 WITH 67,500 MILES. AFTER 3 WEEKS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED - ENGINE / TRANSMISSION MAKES SHUDDERING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 30 - 45 MPH. THE SAME NOISE OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE DOWN-SHIFTS OR CRUISE AT THE SAME SPEED. THE ODOMETER WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 68,000 MILES WHEN THE NOISE STARTED TO SURFACE. IT'S BEEN ONLY ABOUT 6 DAYS SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED AND THE NOISE IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM REPORTED BY MANY ACURA MDX OWNERS, BUT AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I DID NOT FIND A PERMANENT SOLUTION. SEEMS THAT ACURA / HONDA MANUFACTURER CHOOSES TO NOT BE ACCOUNTABLE AND REMAINS SILENT IN OFFERING A REAL SOLUTION OR RECALLING THE FAULTY COMPONENTS - VERY DISAPPOINTING FROM A LONG TIME CUSTOMER OF HONDA PRODUCTS. *TR
