2014 Acura MDX: multiple warning lights

Filed Nov 30, 2015 · Acceleration, Electrical · 58,500 miles · MD

First, I have had the vehicle for a little over a year. I have driven to florida and nc without issue. Today will be the 4th time taking my car to the acura dealership in less than 3 months. Today the car started to kickback when I reach 20mph. Also, at 80mph the car is jerky when I accelerate or decrease and go again. Also when I release the gas, the speed decreases quickly as opposed to gradually. Around 60mph the car tends to have a slight jerk which ive notified acura but they said I need a wheel alignment which ive done. The issue prior was all the lights in the dash came on the the drive function was almost paused while the vehicle was in motion. Acura claimed the issue was minor yet I am going again today. Prior to that issue, something near the tires was scratching or something which they claimed the issue was fixed. What LED me to the dealership the first time was the vehicle was jerky at different times while accelerating. Acura performed a software upgrade which fixed the issue for a couple days. At some point, the vehicle needs to be re-assessed and possibly totaled out or something. I have 3 kids and always on the run. I used to trust acura and the reliability but the issues seem to get worse and worse.

I bought 2014 acura mdx brand new and after 2000 mile a noise came out from engine I went dealer they ordered the part and fixed and the same problem happened after 5000 miles. I have lots of headaches since I bought this car. The suspensions are very bad even when I bought it from the dealer as a first day. And now I have all lights on such as battery, brake, hill stability problem, steering wheel problem, engine emission stability problem writing, shown all wheel drive problem. Whenever I go to dealer they reset the signs and say its ok now. They charge me but after a while again happens and this time saying different problem.. Really has too much problem. Suspensions and brake a worst. Now I am afraid to drive this car with my little baby and family. 100% I believe car stops in middle of the way.. Its very dangerous. . Please inform acura because they aren't careening and especially every new mdx drivers have problems with this brand new expensive cars. Thank you very much for your time and understanding us.

All dash lights came on and power steering went. Dealership says it is okay and a misfire. 2/2/15 same thing happened, awd, power steering, and brakes went. Then the car stopped running and wouldn't start. An hour later it started again and alarms were off. The dealership also had to replace the transmission at 4k miles. Car doesn't sense key sometimes and won't start. Locks on its own. Heated seats won't turn on/off. Car makes weird noise when making sharp turns and wheels pull straight.

Noticed bubbling paint on drivers side near back tire...emailed salesman with no response. Took car in for oil change, mentioned problem but paint had chipped off...took a picture to send to acura for their determination whether it was going to be repaired free of charge....asked again in septmeber...no answer yet...no phone call to date to let me know if covered or not. July 24 was driving when for no reason all warning lights came on with warning beep...called dealership. .. Was on my way to the airport for vacation and scared to keep driving..was told just a fluke and it would probably re-set...in august.took car to dealership and warning lights came on enroute...still on when I arrived...again told it was just a fluke happened again while parked with engine running in late august but noticed it was also idling quite high for no reason...called dealership again right away...left a message with no return call..it again re-set itself....in september I was driving 35mph and all warning lights came on, lost power and steering...called dealership, they had me look at message center but it did not say any code....took to dealership..told them I had been reading on line that other owners had same issue with no results...he said acura was working on issue....nervous that it will happen while driving on expressway and I lose steering and power.....tired on hearing there is no code and no answer....very expensive car to have this type of issue with no fix...thank you

While trying to accelerate during a left turn, the engine completely lost power and the accelerator would not work. All engine warning lights came on. We nearly avoided an accident by coasting into the center lane. I had to turn off the car and restart in order to gain the ability to accelerate again, but all the warning lights remained on. Drove it to the dealer, but they have yet to be able to determine what the problem is. This is the 3rd time this has happened - all during the first 5 minutes of driving during the morning. The last incident could have resulted in a serious crash.

My brand new mdx has had issues with multiple warning lights appearing on the vehicle when starting the engine. This includes check engine warning, lane departure warning failure, power steering issue and possibly additional warnings. The vehicle did this the first time when I took delivery of the vehicle and at that time, was resolved by fixing a loose plug. Then it did it again when I was supposed to pick up my vehicle for a couple minor trim repairs saturday, december 7, 2014. The vehicle is still with service and they have yet to figure out what is causing the warning light issue. I was advised that they are in touch with acura's tech line on this and they hope it will be resolved soon. Additionally, I completed further research on this and noted that other owners are experiencing similar problems with warning lights appearing on their 2014 mdx vehicles. Here is an online reference that I found where owners have posted comments on this: http://www.mdxers.org/forums/94-new-2014-acura-mdx/63666-2014-mdx-issues.html.
