Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Dec 12, 2024

There is a recall on my 2020 Acura MDX and I have been going to the local Acura dealer to get the part for the last 6 months and every time I go they tell me they are still waiting for the part. Periodically, the vehicle lurches while I am driving causing a major back and forth tugging and jerking. This is very unsafe. I am demanding that Acura prioritizes my need to get this fixed. I do not know if the jerking of the vehicle is due to the recall, but regardless, Acura needs to do the right thing and send the part to the Acura dealership so I can get this fixed. No Acura dealer in my area says…

Seat Belts · reported Oct 22, 2024

Middle row passenger seatbelt malfunctioning. Waiting on part on back order. Available for inspection until it gets replaced. Numerous occasions noticed the belt would lock when getting children out of car and didnât think anything of it. Had to move middle row seat to get it to retract out of the lock position.

NHTSA Recall Number 23V-858. Honda/Acura still have NOT fix my car supposedly due to they are short on the fuel pump part.

Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Aug 21, 2023

When putting the vehicle in "Drive" it unexpectantly rapidly accelerated causing me to aggressively brake the vehicle. It's happened twice and could easily have crashed into surrounding property or pedestrians. I brought the vehicle to the Dealership but considering it is an intermittent problem they couldn't duplicate the situation. Acura said they have no record of anything like this happening. There were no electronic lights or indicators that warned me of a malfunction. The first occurrence was several months ago, and the latest occurrence happened two days ago

Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Jan 3, 2021

The car does have smooth accelerating from a stop; it feels as if its searching through gears. In addition, while driving a humming noise is present as if the battery or electric parking bake is being engaged or disengaged. The car idles when at a complete stop instead of engaging auto shut off feature.
