yesterday, after backing up, stepping on the brake pedal and coming to a complete stop, shifted into "park" with my foot still on the brake pedal. the engine unexpectedly revved up to what sounded like full throttle! i pushed the ignition button to stop the engine. after this one incident, the car has functioned normally.

when coming to a sudden stop the brake light will flash on the dashboard accompanied by a beeping sound for approximately 3 seconds. i have brought it into the dealers ship in metairie louisiana and am told that they cannot duplicate the problem. this has occurred approximately 4 times intermittently over the last 3 months. i am concerned because the owners manual states the brake system is failing or the brake fluid is low.

my brand new mdx has had issues with multiple warning lights appearing on the vehicle when starting the engine. this includes check engine warning, lane departure warning failure, power steering issue and possibly additional warnings. the vehicle did this the first time when i took delivery of the vehicle and at that time, was resolved by fixing a loose plug. then it did it again when i was supposed to pick up my vehicle for a couple minor trim repairs saturday, december 7, 2014. the vehicle is still with service and they have yet to figure out what is causing the warning light issue. i was advised that they are in touch with acura's tech line on this and they hope it will be resolved soon. additionally, i completed further research on this and noted that other owners are experiencing similar problems with warning lights appearing on their 2014 mdx vehicles. here is an online reference that i found where owners have posted comments on this: http://www.mdxers.org/forums/94-new-2014-acura-mdx/63666-2014-mdx-issues.html.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

the included infotainment system, which is now predominantly controlled by a touchscreen, is incredibly slow, laggy, and dangerous to operate. there are multiple, ongoing failures with this system - every time i enter the vehicle. as honda/acura has removed or replaced primary-operation buttons (32 out of 41, by their count), the mandate to use the other operational system (touchscreen and jog-dial) has increased the risk of safety incidents, exacerbated by a slow user interface response and often-failing voice control system. my vehicle has been in the dealer once, and has been waiting for a software update for five months. new vehicles have an updated software load, but acura refuses to install it. acura client relations has refused to provide updates or a solution.

the 2014 mdx is now equipped with a driver's side mirror that is split vertically into two pieces one larger and one smaller. the smaller mirror creates the illusion that a passing car is crashing into your vehicle. it is quite disconcerting to a driver. both myself and my son have had this experience. it causes a driver to react to a danger that does not exist.

this is the second incident of unintended engine revving with this vehicle. this second incident occurred at approximately 4500 miles. was pulling out of a parking space in "reverse" and came to a complete stop with my foot firmly on the brake pedal when, in an instant, the vehicle unexpectedly revved up while i was still holding the brake pedal firmly and the vehicle was still in "reverse". alarmed, i immediately put the car into "park". the transition into "park" was not smooth and the engine rpm went even higher. it sounded like one third of full throttle. my wife was in the vehicle with me. once in "park", we put down the windows to hear how loud the engine was revving. still in "park", i asked my wife to watch me step on and off the brake pedal at least three times, but the engine did not return to idle. i then kicked the accelerator pedal and the engine returned to normal idle. acura client relations had a "field representative" check my vehicle. for the second time, acura is claiming that no problem can be found with our vehicle.

i have a major safety issue with my 6 month old mdx (less than 5000 miles). the car is making grinding noises and vibrates, intermittently. the dealer has dismissed my claims and made minor modifications with insulation, and hoodclips. nothing has been done to determine the cause of the problem and they pretend that there is nothing wrong, even though the service manager has heard it on more than one occasion. the care has been brought to the dealership four times over the course of the past 6 months and they have held my car in service for over 30 days. when we attempted to pick up the car last night, there was now a new extremely loud noise with every time i attempted to brake. the on-duty sales manager heard the noise and insisted that i leave the car for service. today, the dealership is refusing to address this new issue, and still ignoring the old issue, which was caused while my car was in their service department for the past month. the car is unsafe to drive and i feel taken advantage of by acura. the dealership is also saying "their hands are tied." i have attempted to call their national customer service line and they have given me the run around, insisting that all of their supervisors and case manager are in meetings. how do i address this issue? please help in this matter. if you read on-line many other people are having issues with the newly redesigned 2014 mdx, produced at a new alabama plant. acura needs to recall this model, before people are killed on the road.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

we recently purchased (6/25/14) an 2014 mdx acura. when the car is in motion (at any speed) and door locks are engaged in the lock position, the door handles open the doors. there is no way to prevent the passenger side door from opening if the inside handle is pulled while the car is in motion. i called the dealer, response was that is the design of the car, i contacted acura customer care spoke with jeff and was told the same, it's the design of the car to make it easy for the passenger and driver to exit the car. my concern is obvious and the customer care agent agreed, but there is no recourse. if the door handle is pulled while the car is in motion there could be catastrophic injury or accident.

POWER TRAIN

on july 14 2014, was driving my new 2014 mdx. suddenly heard a noise like a flat tire. i pulled over to the shoulder and checked the tires. didn’t see any flat. checked the tire gauge and all reading good. continued going where i had to go and the noise came back. it sounded like dump,dump,dump. the noises come and go at various speeds. got back home and removed the spire tire, might be loose. drove around the block and still heard the noise again. it’s getting dark and the following day was raining. finally got good weather. decided to move the car into the driveway and look under the car. as i was looking i could see the left rear axle boot was twisted and grease bleeding out. i decided to crawl under the car and saw the whole differential was loose. i could shake the unit. as i look closer, i could see 3 bolts missing and 1 barely holding the differential on the chasse. i called acura service and told them about my problem and was told to bring it in. called roadside service and had them put it on a flatbed. the dealer is replacing the left axle and bolts. i hope nothing else will come loose and this didn’t damage anything else.

hearing grinding/buzzing sound toward left front-side / engine area when driving between 20+ miles per hour. this noise is intermittent but occurs during every commute. noise occurs quickly then goes away. when driving 2-hours in traffic, heard over 30 grinding/buzzing noises at various speeds. noise can be subtle to audibly clear from the back-seat. this has been occurring for past month and half, and grinding / buzzing noise is audible at ever commute. at first warranty repair, dealership service rep said that this is coming a common issue for 2014 acura mdx and it's a bulkhead cover strikers and latches issue. replaced the part without further diagnosis. took back to dealership second time and test drove with mechanic. mechanic confirmed the grinding / buzzing noise. repair did not fix the issue and grinding / buzzing noise is still occurring. found on youtube and online 2014 acura mdx forums that other 2014 mdx owners are having same issue.
