Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Apr 30, 2024
I have a recall on my 2019 Acura MDX for a faulty fuel pump. I have called 2 different dealers in my area, the first said they wouldn't have the parts to fix the car until December 2024 at the earliest, the second just stated that they don't have the parts. It seems to me this is quite a bit of time to be driving with a suspected faulty fuel pump. It is April 30,2024.
Power Train · at 47,000 miles · reported Jan 30, 2024
The contact owns a 2019 Acura MDX. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission experienced rough shifting and would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. Also, the vehicle would jerk when shifting into reverse with a whining, howling sound coming from the transmission while reversing. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 47,000.
Visibility/Wiper · reported Dec 19, 2022
At night the camera on the rear hatch produces a blurry picture. During the day it is clear. It always happens. I’ve taken it to two dealerships and they could not reproduce the issue because it needs to be dark around the car. I’ve brought in photographs. And they still can’t find an issue. On line there are many complaints about this issue. I can’t see if someone walks behind my vehicle.
