NHTSA Complaint #10554246 — 2006 ACURA MDX

HFL ON MY 2006 MDX STOPPED WORKING A WHILE BACK. WHEN YOU PRESS THE TALK SWITCH, NOTHING HAPPENS. OCCASIONALLY, IT COMES ON, BUT NOT OPERATIONAL. WHAT I MEAN IS IT PROMPTS AND I CAN GO THROUGH THE MAIN MENU. BUT WHEN I TRY TO PAIR MY PHONE IT GOES INTO A NEVER ENDING SCANNING LOOP. IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT ANY HANDSHAKING WITH THE PHONE IS ESTABLISHED. THIS SAME PHONE WORKS FINE WITH BLUETOOTH IN MY OTHER CAR AND OTHER DEVICES. SO, IT'S NOT THE PHONE. FOR ALMOST AN YEAR, THE BATTERY ON THE MDX KEEP DRAINING AND I WOULD REQUIRE A JUMP START IF I DON'T USE IT FOR 2-3 DAYS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE FAULTY BLUETOOTH HFL IS CAUSING THE BATTERY DRAIN. MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, NOT ONLY WITH 2006 ACURA MDX, BUT ALSO WITH SOME DIFFERENT ACURA MODELS. *TR
