2017 Acura MDX: fuel pump failure

Filed May 29, 2026 · Fuel system · OH

When accelerating into traffic (usually merging onto highway or changing lanes on the highway) my car will loose all power and fail to accelerate. This is extremely dangerous and has happened on several occasions. I have taken this into Acura as well as other automotive dealers and no one can seem to diagnose or recreate the problem. The only support I received from Acura has been a “software update & idle relearn”, which has never fixed the problem. I saw an the federal safety agency ID#23V85800 recall alert for Fuel Pump Failure, which perfectly describes the issues I’m having. Unfortunately, my VIN is not included in this recall. I respectfully request that you add my VIN to this recall so I can get my fuel pump replaced and hopefully resolve this very dangerous issue.

My 2017 Acura MDX died on me 3 times in the middle of the street last year 2024, July. All the warning lights got turned on the dashboard all 3 times. Car staled and could not turn it on right away. I managed to turn it on and after few seconds turned its self off. It felt like fuel injectors were not working properly or fuel pump. I tried few more other times and got turned on and drove it home. Next day all the warning light went away. Day after, i drove it to grocery store and on stop light same thing happened. I decided to take it to Acura dealership, on the way there all the warning lights turned off by it self. They could not find that anything is wrong with it.

There is an active recall on the brake calipers and fuel pump for Acura Mdx 2017, and Hondas. My Acura Mdx 2017 has the same issues with a code of p07e4, which is the brake calipers. When looking up the recall of my car, there is no recall on it when inserting the VIN. My car is an Acura Mdx 2017; I do not understand why it is not included in the recall when it should.

While driving the car started to loose momentum and began stuttering until finally stopping abruptly and applying the electronic braking system. All warning alarms were illuminated on the dash. I was not even able to pull over completely off the road either putting me and my family in danger from not being off the road. Acura dealership service center informed me it was a bad high pressure fuel pump located on the engine block itself. There are recalls for this exact part neginnibg from 2018 on the acura MDX model. My model is a 2017 making me wonder if the recall should include earlier year models of acura mdx.

Fuel pump (High - pressure & low- pressure) failed which has caused significantly reduced acceleration and caused the engine to stall in mid operation of the vehicle. I (Driver) was the only person in the vehicle and there was no crash. I would say there is high risk of a crash and it is a serious safety hazard. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.This vehicle component was checked by an independent service center and got it repaired. Fuel pump & high pressure pump was ordered and replaced on the vehicle. I paid $1977.59 as the total cost for parts and labor plus tax.

Dangerous loss of power while accelerating on the highway! There have been three separate incidences over the last 2 years. While I was trying to accelerate on the highway, the car severely lost power and the "check engine" light started flashing. The car seemed to operate normally after turning off and on the engine. The dealership claimed that there was no computer records of problems after each incidence. Acura just issued a recall of the fuel pump on this model year mdx. However, acura and the local acura dealership refused the repair due to the lack of computer record of failure.
