2019 Acura MDX UNKNOWN OR OTHER

We had the recall repair done on the start/stop feature on our MDX and it seemed to work initially. But recently the feature has caused the vehicle to stall at intersections again as it did before. It’s happened at least 3 times in the last six months with the most recent occurrence being on 1/20/2026. These occurrences happen despite the fact that we try to remember to turn off the feature when we start our trip. Each occurrence has stalled the vehicle at a traffic light in rush hour traffic. It’s very frightening and we are lucky that it hasn’t caused an accident or gotten us shot! We live in Texas (funny but not).

The passenger windshield behind the driver's seat smelled of smoke and exploded the car while driving. This model has had multiple of the same problem with other cars and refused to identify and fix the problem. I have been informed by Acura that it's an out-of-pocket expense and not covered by warranty because it's not yet under recall despite several occurrences.

I just read about this new recall on Honda and Acura vehicles. I just wanted to say that I am really mad at Honda and you guys at NHTSA. You just put these issues out there in the media that Honda and Acura have all these safety issues and these are really dangers issues people could loose their lives here , but no one fallows what Honda and Acura are doing. I have 2019 Acura MDX and I got this recall flayer in the mail I late 2023 and the flayer stated that we will be notified by Acura and Honda when the parts are available. And it clearly says that this is a dangerous recall lives could be at stake. Guess what now is November 2024 and I was never notified by any means no flayer no phone calls no email no nothing. Nobody cares . Now this comes out again same issue and what nobody cares again. This is ridiculous someone should be held accountable for putting my kids my family in danger. Like I said my vehicle was recalled in 2023 for this same dangerous issue and no one ever contacted or sent another flayer again. Good thing I called Acura two weeks ago just out of curiosity about the recall for 2023 . They said oh ok will schedule you for Aril of 2025 hahaha. This is crazy it takes two years to fix an issue this dangerous. And guess what they will probably call me in April of 2025 and say they have no parts and that would be able to schedule me for 2026. Yeah that how dese recallls work and no one cares about people and family lives.Thank you Honda Acura and NHTSA.

We have had several recall on this automobile. The 2 outstanding recalls are almost a year old. One is for the fuel pump and the other is the connecting rod bearing. My wife is afraid to drive the car long distances because of this. We would like the dealer to buy the vehicle back if they can't perform the repairs.

I have been trying to address the open recall with the dealership I purchased the car from. Bernardi Acura of Boston. They scheduled the original appointment 4 weeks out and then the day before, they call to reschedule another 8 weeks later. The mechanic stated the repair should be done ASAP as it is a safety issue. I have been trying to get feedback whether the car is safe to drive and why they are pushing out the appointment, but I have not been given a response. I opened a complaint with Acura and the GM of the dealership.

The auto start/stop feature of the vehicle activated on the exit ramp of a highway, it did NOT restart the car but disabled all use and automatically shifted to neutral and would not power down, shift into another gear, or do anything. My wife had our children in the car during a high traffic time of day and my vehicle was disabled for approximately 5 minutes. Other cars exiting the highway at a high rate of speed had to go around my vehicle to continue. This is the second occurrence like this and previous “repairs” was the dealership just replacing the battery. This is the second time my family has been put at risk. The vehicle is available for inspection and there is a call in to the local dealership who has nobody available to speak with me until Monday.

This vehicle comes with Idle engine feature. when the brake pedal is pressed, the engine turns off (supposedly to save gas). The car should proceed when the gas pedal is pressed. So at any time, in any location, after the car is stopped at a stop sign or red light, the car does not always turn back on. I just sit in the vehicle, unable to proceed. I then have to restart the car in order to drive forward again. This is extremely unsafe, as I could be stalled in an unsafe location. this vehicle had a recall due to this faulty issue, and the sensor was replaced by the Acura dealer, however the problem remains. I feel unsafe driving this vehicle. Apparently many Acura owners have the same problem. This problem could result in death. It is extremely unsafe to have a car stall.

I took the car in for a recall , 2 months ago and the car is still cutting off in traffic and at stop lights. This auto shut off , activates on its in and this dangerous.

In stop and go traffic on a highway, the car went to auto idle mode, then shifted to neutral by itself instead of restarting to drive. This was a safety issue in that I was on a major 4 lane highway with my kids and could've been hit from behind. The only thing I could do was completely turn off and restart the car. There were no warning lights. It has not been inspected by the dealer yet. There have been similar reports of this occurring: https://www.mdxers.org/threads/2019-mdx-auto-stop-feature-causes-car-to-stall-or-shift-to-neutral.175759/

Car feels like being locked while I can only be able to drive at a very low speed(maybe 1m/h). Dealership said everything is fine. They don't see the problem. They did nothing to address these issue. Two messages on dashboard: Electronic parking brake problem, Emissions system problem. First appear on 7/23/2021 just when the issue appears.
