While driving, the car will frequently lose electrical power. Dash indicator lights come on, the radio shuts off and sometime I'll have to reset the radio and navigation codes. While at a stop light, sometimes depressing the gas pedal does nothing and then suddenly it will begin to move. I'm very concern the unpredictable nature of the problem will cause a wreck if I lose engine power, especially in a curve.

I own a 2007 acura mdx which has had a number of intermittent electrical problems over the years. I had to replace the handsfree link module a few years ago at the dealer. The yellow check oil level light has come on for no reason for years. It goes on for a second then off. A few months ago the entire electrical system 'fried' and I had to buy a new battery and new alternator. Recently I hear a buzzing sound when I use the turn signals and the hazards do not work at all. Last night the car died on the interstate- the instrument panel went dark, the engine would not accelerate, and I was lucky to be able to get onto the shoulder. I turned off the car and then started it again. When it works there is no problem with the operation but this car is now unreliable and dangerous. I see there have been over 40 complaints for the same thing noted on carcomplaints.com referring to the federal safety agency website, about the car dying for no reason while in motion and that no acura dealer seems able to fix it and acura refuses to acknowledge the problem or do a recall the car is now at my mechanic to see if he can find out what is wrong but all the comments I saw on carcomplaints.com indicate there has not yet been a definitive diagnosis made by acura or anyone else, and there is no active recall either this is extremely dangerous as the other complaints also indicate that the doors and windows do not operate when the car stalls out and occupants can be trapped inside the car

The vehicle will randomly shut off and restart while in motion at various speeds whether on the highway or surface streets. There does not appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why.

Acura mdx 2007, vehicle engine and electrical system stopped while car is motion on freeway on my way to work on january 24, 2017 about 6:35 am on 610 loop passed the stella link exit. I had to merge over to the edge of fwy to restart the car. The dash board lights and car turned off completely while in driving mode, going about 60 MPH. Very scary and unusual. This is a life treating incident and needs an immediate recall. There are numerous online complaints about this issue, so why isn't there a recall. Are they waiting for someone to get fatally injured or worst? This problem demands immediate attention!
