Recall Date: Jun 12, 2025
Safety Issue:

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2021-2025 Acura TLX, 2023-2025 Acura MDX, and 2023-2025 Honda Pilot vehicles.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

The geniuses at Acura / Honda quit installing SiriusXM in the 2025 MDX and instead relies on the user's cell phone paired to the "radio" to get SiriusXM. My issue is that it cuts out when my cell phone doesn't have a clear view of the SiriusXM satellite. Sometimes it continues when reception improves, but most times I have to reboot the SIrusXM app on my cell phone. This quite dangerous in traffic and definitely is not a safe action. I'm quite ready to change cars because I don't want someone to get hurt because of this design flaw. This has been happening since I bought the car in January but is getting more frequent with the foliage on the trees.

TIRES

Potential Consequences:

Tires have 3k miles . For the past 2 weeks, we have had a slow leak. Must refill air every 3 days. Spent one day at Tire Kingdom, but they could not detect anything. Then the Acura Dealer says there is a leak, but can't find it. We have no choice but to purchase a new tire. This is wrong - th I am retired on a fixed income and must buy a tire for a 3-month-old vehicle!

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

My new Acura MDX has very soft braking under normal braking and with harder braking the pedal normally is at the same level as the accelerator pedal which I feel could be a safety issue if your foot is then pressing both pedals at the same time. Also, when driving with adaptive cruise activated, when the car starts to brake on its own following another slower car, with my foot resting on the accelerator, the brake petal will activate and sometimes trap my foot between brake and accelerator petals. This is new to Acura as this is my third MDX since 2014. It has been noted on u-tube videos of the new MDX's. The dealer says it is not an adjustable brake system. The car can be hard to stop with a heavy load. Nothing I have ever experience before with any car.

SUSPENSION

Potential Consequences:

on 8/24, I purchased an acura mdx 2025 technology package.We drove home from the dealer, my mother heard a rattling noise but thought it was the car seat making the noise.The next day,I heard the noise again,it was coming from the right, rear back,I checked,and saw the wheel liner loose and thought the noise was being cause by a loose liner.My mother said we had to go back to the dealer on 8/31 to pick up the wheel lock and weather mats and we would have them check the liner.As the week went by,the noise was more often.On the way to the dealer, we could hear the noise after every bump or turning right.We gave this information to the dealer,we said we thought it was a loose liner but were not sure anymore as the rattling was more often.We did not feel safe driving home.They provided us a loaner and said they would look into it.On 9/4 they sent a text that the rear sway bar link was faulty, the part was ordered and the car should be ready by Friday.My mom emailed them to ask if by faulty,they meant it was loose or broken,they checked and said it was broken.It was expressed to them that this was concerning because it was a brand new vehicle,that we felt blessed that we decided to leave the car,had we driven back home, God knows what could have happened since a broken link can cause you to lose control and get into an accident.We asked if they would report it to the manufacturer or NHTSA? They did not reply. But text a day after stating that we must have gone through a pothole at high speed or hit something,and we were liable for the cost.After my mother sent an email and spoke with them saying that if it was not caused by us,that if the issue was there,was it caused during transporting the car from The manufacturer to the dealer?they said that the car was fixed and there would be no charge but kept insisting that we were at fault,that it happens alot,where people walk out of the dealer and come back with something broken the next day. (more to say but no space)

on 8/24, I purchased an acura mdx 2025 technology package.We drove home from the dealer, my mother heard a rattling noise but thought it was the car seat making the noise.The next day,I heard the noise again,it was coming from the right, rear back,I checked,and saw the wheel liner loose and thought the noise was being cause by a loose liner.My mother said we had to go back to the dealer on 8/31 to pick up the wheel lock and weather mats and we would have them check the liner.As the week went by,the noise was more often.On the way to the dealer, we could hear the noise after every bump or turning right.We gave this information to the dealer,we said we thought it was a loose liner but were not sure anymore as the rattling was more often.We did not feel safe driving home.They provided us a loaner and said they would look into it.On 9/4 they sent a text that the rear sway bar link was faulty, the part was ordered and the car should be ready by Friday.My mom emailed them to ask if by faulty,they meant it was loose or broken,they checked and said it was broken.It was expressed to them that this was concerning because it was a brand new vehicle,that we felt blessed that we decided to leave the car,had we driven back home, God knows what could have happened since a broken link can cause you to lose control and get into an accident.We asked if they would report it to the manufacturer or NHTSA? They did not reply. But text a day after stating that we must have gone through a pothole at high speed or hit something,and we were liable for the cost.After my mother sent an email and spoke with them saying that if it was not caused by us,that if the issue was there,was it caused during transporting the car from The manufacturer to the dealer?they said that the car was fixed and there would be no charge but kept insisting that we were at fault,that it happens alot,where people walk out of the dealer and come back with something broken the next day.
