| 2001 | AIR BAGS | I HAVE AN ACURA MDX 2001. SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE THE YELLOW WARNING LIGHT (SIDE AIRBAG) IS ALWAYS LIGHTING UP EVEN DRIVING THE CAR, WHEN I'M STOP, MOST OF THE TIME ITS LIGHTING UP. I'M WORRIED MAYBE ONE DAY IT WILL BLOW UP. ALSO UNDER THE CHASIS WHEN BACKING UP THEN FORWARD THERE WAS A NOISE THAT THE CRANK MIGHT BRAKE. *TR |
| 2014 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | THE INCLUDED INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, WHICH IS NOW PREDOMINANTLY CONTROLLED BY A TOUCHSCREEN, IS INCREDIBLY SLOW, LAGGY, AND DANGEROUS TO OPERATE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE, ONGOING FAILURES WITH THIS SYSTEM - EVERY TIME I ENTER THE VEHICLE. AS HONDA/ACURA HAS REMOVED OR REPLACED PRIMARY-OPERATION BUTTONS (32 OUT OF 41, BY THEIR COUNT), THE MANDATE TO USE THE OTHER OPERATIONAL SYSTEM (TOUCHSCREEN AND JOG-DIAL) HAS INCREASED THE RISK OF SAFETY INCIDENTS, EXACERBATED BY A SLOW USER INTERFACE RESPONSE AND OFTEN-FAILING VOICE CONTROL SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER ONCE, AND HAS BEEN WAITING FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR FIVE MONTHS. NEW VEHICLES HAVE AN UPDATED SOFTWARE LOAD, BUT ACURA REFUSES TO INSTALL IT. ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE UPDATES OR A SOLUTION. *TR |
