The driver's seat wiring harness on my daughter's 2007 Acura MDX has failed under normal operating conditions. The physical adjustment and movement of the driver's seat causes the factory wiring harness to over-tension and fracture internally. This has resulted in an intermittent, escalating failure of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), throwing diagnostic trouble code DTC 71-11 ("open circuit in the driver's seat position sensor"). This is a known manufacturer engineering defect documented under Acura Technical Service Bulletin TSB 11-023. This defect poses an immediate safety hazard because the vehicle's computer automatically disables the driver's side airbag safety deployment when

As I was driving on 278 headed south traveling at approximately 65mph, the radio shut off as well as the car. There was a warning light that said "Check emission" The ABS light would come on as well I had to try to get the car into the far right lane and restarted the car. I was able to restart the car and made it home with the car periodically completely shutting off. As I was driving the radio would briefly go on and off as well. This was the first time this had happened. The safety issue was that there was absolutely no warning and at the time I was traveling with traffic. There was nothing that could have caused this other than some type of mechanical failure.

The engine does not start at once and when the key is turned off to try again, the engine explodes and the upper part of the engine case is completely torn off. At this time, there was a huge explosion sound like a bomb exploding and a lot of black smoke came out. It's not really a rocket engine, which is a huge force, but I really don't understand how much pressure was applied in the engine of an ordinary car, so that the engine cover was broken by the explosion. Even if a person intentionally smashed the engine cover like this, it would be impossible. If such an accident occurred while running, it is thought that there would have been many casualties. Although it is an old car, it was used

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ACURA MDX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL FAILURES WHERE THE POWER DOORS UNLOCK AND LOCK WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE WINDOWS WOULD RAISE AND LOWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,000.

MY 2007 ACURA MDX IS EXPERIENCING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP. ACURA ISSUED AN EXTENSION ON THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THAT EXTENSION ONLY LASTED SEVEN YEARS. AS SOMEONE WHO ACQUIRED THE CAR AFTER 2014 I WAS AUTOMATICALLY NOT QUALIFIED IN THIS COMMON PROBLEM. ACURA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR OTHER MODEL CARS BUILT IN THIS SAME YEAR USING THE SAME POWER STEERING PUMP. YET THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 12V222000 DOES NOT INCLUDE MODEL MDX. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW "WHY" MDX WAS NOT ALSO PART OF THE RECALL SEEING AS THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, AND PARTS USED FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP, HOSES, AND SEALS.
