2010 ACURA MDX Electrical System Problems

My wife went to the grocery store and turned the car off. And upon doing so the car started smoking and she opened the hood and it was on fire. She opened the hood and put out the fire.

VEHICLE: 2010 ACURA MDX. I WAS ON HWY 395 AT NIGHT AND THE CHECK BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. WE RECENTLY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND I FELT IT SAFE TO DRIVE TO THE NEXT TOWN TO HAVE THE BATTERY CHECKED BEFORE CONTINUING. WITHIN ABOUT 50 MILES, ALL OF THE OTHER WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON IN SUCCESSION. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER OR AREA TO PULL ON THIS SECTION OF HIGHWAY NEAR MONO LAKE AND WITHIN 30 SECONDS THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. I TRIED TO TURN ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND THEY WOULDN'T WORK. I COULDN'T SEE THE ROAD AND WAS GOING TO RAM THE SIDE OF THE CAR INTO THE RAILING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO TRY TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT (STILL NO SHOULDER ON MY SIDE AND I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS) AND MY DAUGHTER THOUGHT TO...

THE POWER LIFT GATE WON'T CLOSE WITH PUSH OF THE BUTTON FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE BUTTON ON THE POWER LIFT GATE. IT WOULD MAKE SEVERAL BEEPING NOISE AND THE LIFTGATE WOULD NOT CLOSE. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE MANUALLY BY HAND TO CLOSE IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY DONE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

AFTER PURCHASING MY 2012 ACURA MDX BACK IN APRIL 2012 JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER OF THIS DATE MY VEHICLE PRESENTED AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER CAR SEAT MOTOR, AS IN NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND SAFELY ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE THE HEIGHT OF THE SEAT TO MY NEEDS. AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED I CALLED IT IN AND WAS REQUESTED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. FEW MONTHS WENT BY UNTIL THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AND HERE I AM UNABLE TO SIT SAFELY AND PROPERLY DUE TO THE SEAT BASE NOT WORKING AGAIN. FOR THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE WAS CALLED IN AND BROUGHT IN FOR A SUPPOSED NEW/ORIGINAL PART CHANGE. THE SERVICE DEPT MANAGER OVER AT ACURA OF BOSTON HAD TOLD ME THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS WILL FULLY BE REPAIRED AND THAT IT SHOULDN'T REOCCUR. ON JUNE 2015 THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM REOCCURS AND HERE I AM DRIVING...

THE VEHICLE WAS STRANDED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND WOULD NOT START. THE BATTERY STILL WORKED. THE DEALERSHIP, HENDRICK'S ACURA IN CHARLOTTE, NC, REPLACED A FUSE TWICE AND REMOVED THE AUTOMATIC STARTER AND REPLACED A WIRE. TODAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IT HAS LESS THAN 35000 MILES ON IT. A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT START AND GETS STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD. MOREOVER THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, BUT CHARGED US TO TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT.

I WANTED TO REPORT A RECENT INCIDENT ON AUG 23RD IN WHICH THE ENGINE OF MY MDX CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 7:30 PM. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND DIALED 911. SUBSEQUENTLY THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT USING A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITHIN THE SPACE OF 2 MINUTES WITH NO APPARENT REASON. THE CAR WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE AND PLACED IN AN IMPOUND LOT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY GEICO AFTER EXAMINING THE DAMAGE INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOTALED DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. THE ENGINE WAS PARTIALLY CHEWED OFF DUE TO THE FIRE. THE CONCERNS I HAVE BASED ON THIS INCIDENT ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. I DID NOT GET ANY KIND OF WARNING FROM THE COMPUTER OR DASHBOARD WHILE THIS INCIDENT WAS OCCURRING. 2. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. 3. MY CAR...

I AM WRITING WITH RESPECT TO A DEFECT IN A 2010 ACURA MDX (VEHICLE ID #: [XXX]) THAT I PREVIOUSLY LEASED. ON AUGUST 27, 2012, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING SAID VEHICLE ON THE MERRITT PARKWAY IN CT. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND MY WIFE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND COULD NOT BRING THE CAR TO A STOP AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP. MY WIFE WAS TERRIFIED BY THE INCIDENT AND CALLED 9-1-1. AFTER WAITING A WHILE, THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE HAD LEASED THE AUTOMOBILE. THE DEALER RAN A SERIES OF TESTS BUT COULD NOT IDENTIFY A REASON FOR WHAT HAPPENED, AND DROVE THE CAR FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, BUT TOLD US THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE WERE, OF COURSE, NO...

RECEIVE "BATTERY CHARGE LOW" WARNING MESSAGE ON CONSOLE ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS AS SOON AS I OPEN THE CAR DOOR. TOOK TO ACURA DEALER AND HAD CORPORATE INVOLVED AND WAS TOLD THAT ITS THE DESIGN OF THE CAR AND DEEMED THE ISSUE AS A STANDARD LOGIC FEATURE WITH NO ACTION REQUIRED. THIS YEAR MODEL HAS A POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHICH I BELIEVE IS NEW FOR 2010. I POINTED OUT THAT IT COULD BE THE BATTERY, THE CHARGER, OR THE ALTERNATOR, BUT THEY INSIST ITS NORMAL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS AND TOOK CAR BACK TO THEM ABOUT 5 TIMES TOTALING OVER 20 DAYS IN SHOP WITH THEM TELLING ME NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2010 AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE SUCH ISSUES WITH A BRAND NEW CAR. ANOTHER ISSUE DEALS WITH THE DRIVER CONSOLE, GPS CONSOLE, AND RADIO CONSOLE. THEY ALL SEEM...

IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHEN ENGINE IS TURNED OFF BUT CAR IN IS IN A GEAR OTHER THAN PARK. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH AND THE DEALER SERVICE TECH WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE IT TODAY. I WAS QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF OVER $550 TO REPLACE KEY CYLINDER AND REKEY THE DOOR CAR TO MATCH "NEW" IGNITION KEY. AS OF TODAY, I HAVE NOT FIXED THE DEFECT BUT AM GOING TO SEEK ANOTHER ESTIMATE TO REPAIR. *TR
