NHTSA Complaint #10725085 — 2007 ACURA MDX

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A USED 2007 MDX ACURA 2 YRS AGO AND HAVE EXPERIENCED EVERYTHING FROM BAD TIRES TO SUSPENSION TO DVD TO BATTERY PROBLEMS. WE HAD OUR VEHICLE SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALER AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT IT WOULD COST TO HAVE STRUTS DONE AND GIVEN A QUOTE OF APPROXIMATELY $1350. WHEN I RETURNED TO HAVE THE SERVICE DONE, I WAS ENCOURAGED TO HAVE THE TIMING BELT DONE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT AS VITAL AS GETTING THE STRUT WORK DONE. SO I HAD THE TIMING BELT DONE. NOW OUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING STRUT PROBLEMS. NO ONE SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THESE KINDS OF ISSUES ON A VEHICLE THEY HAVE ONLY HAD FOR 2 YRS. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 68,000 MILE. IT NOW HAS ROUGHLY 110,000. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE BOOST. THERE WAS NOTHING GOING ON THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DIE, IN FACT THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY WAS GOOD. WE HAVE PUT TOO MUCH MONEY ALREADY INTO THIS VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS AND IT IS SIMPLY NOT WORTH IT. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE. THE DVD ON OCCASIONS DOES NOT WORK AND WE GET SOME TYPE OF READ ERROR. FOR THE AMOUNT WE SPEND EVERY MONTH ON THIS CAR, THIS IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS.
