In San Diego on 11/15/2021, my daughter side swiped a parked vehicle in residential area driving about 30 miles. No airbags deployed. A minute later the car stopped and would not start and started to have smoke and flames come from under hood and through inside windshield and dash. My daughter was able to get out and take her 3 year old son out of his carseat and run for their lives as the car completely became engulfed in flames.Thank God they made it out alive. Police and Fire department showed up.
Nine different electrical failures in twenty seven weeks on a new 2018 acura mdx technology package. That's one failure every three weeks. Six problems have occurred one time, three problems are still intermittent, the most concerning is the heated seat feature. The circuit closes without activation. Occasionally when the vehicle is started, the LED indicator lights are on. Several times it has affected the drivers seat, once the passenger seat, and once both seats.
