Acura mdx-low impact left front collision with stationary object, witnessed by outside of vehicle and driver persons, noted deployment of both front airbags approximately 2 seconds after collision. auto body shop 20 year experienced owner, without knowledge of above volunteered that he was surprised that airbags deployed. western states regional manager for acura called in to ascertain why srs light would not extinguish after repair and new airbag and "brain" placed in vehicle-1 month delay. after 2nd "brain" replaced, srs light off until approximately 5 weeks later-this time passenger sensor replaced. *nlm
While driving 55 mph, consumer hit a center divider on highway, airbags did not deploy. driver injured with frontal impact. *ak *jg
The warning sensor on the srs systems keeps failing. the dealer is fixing, but i'm told that when the warning light is on the srs system will not deploy. thus, the repeated faults in the srs sensing system is creating potential safety issue as the warning system is (in effect) shutting down the srs system. while the dealer has been fixing, there appears to be no urgency to warn customers that this kind of warning sensor actually keeps the air bag from deploying (manual is quite vague on this point). i am pursuing state lemon law remedies to get new car as i am now at the 4th failure of this component. thought you should know about this systematic issue.*ak
No replacement part available to correct problem. when srs light comes on for whatever reason, airbags probably will not deploy in a collision.*ak
I have an acura mdx 2001. since i bought this vehicle the yellow warning light (side airbag) is always lighting up even driving the car, when i'm stop, most of the time its lighting up. i'm worried maybe one day it will blow up. also under the chasis when backing up then forward there was a noise that the crank might brake. *tr
