ON WINDOW ROLLUP, REAR WINDOW SLID OUT OF DRIVE MECHANISM AND FELL TO THE BASE BEHIND DOOR PANEL. GLASS DID NOT SHATTER, AND I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER IT BACK INTO POSITION TEMPORARILY TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF DRIVE MECHANISM. NO WEIGHT OR OBSTRUCTION WAS PUT ON WINDOW AS IT WAS BEING ELECTRICALLY CLOSED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME A REAR DRIVE MECHANISM HAS FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE. BOTH OTHER REPLACEMENTS WERE HANDLED UNDER WARRANTY AND GOOD FAITH. THIS UNFORTUNATELY IS GOING TO BE AN OUT OF POCKET FIX TO THE TUNE OF 350 DOLLARS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FLAWED DESIGN AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN BROKEN GLASS, AN UNSAFE SITUATION CONSIDERING MY DAUGHTER WAS IN CAR SEAT NEXT TO WINDOW. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD A HARROWING DRIVING EXPERIENCE ON 01/19/13; COULD HAVE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT IF IT WAS NOT DUE TO ALERTNESS OF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. I HAD SERVICED MY MDX PREVIOUS DAY, IT INCLUDED REPLACING THE BATTERY. THE TECHNICIAN DID A SLOPPY JOB IN CONNECTING THE CABLE RESULTING IN THE CABLE COMING OFF THE BATTERY WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP SUDDENLY AND I WAS LOCKED INSIDE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN ANY DOOR OR ROLL DOWN WINDOWS BY USING THE MANUAL KNOB. I WAS HOLED UP IN THE CAR UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME AND CONNECTED THE CABLE. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IF THE PASSENGER CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS USING MANUAL CONTROLS IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CAR HAVING NO POWER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS MANUFACTURER; THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
