We have classified the 2 complaints from 2005 Acura MDX about SEAT BELTS into the following categories.
Driving at highway speed 60mph right side curtain airbag,right front seat airbag and right side front seat belt pre tensioner deployed. when the air bag deployed a piece of the right side grab bar hit the driver in the face. the front passenger had abrasion on her face from the airbag hitting her. on star called right away and we gave them info and after they were sure we were ok hung up.we took the vehicle to smithtown acura scanned for codes and found code f4-11. acura informed me that a rep from acura would inspect the vehicle. after the rep inspected the vehicle they said that they found no manufacturer defects but they could not say why the airbag deployed. after a few weeks going back and forth with client realions for acura they said there legal team said they find no manufacturer defects and to call my insurance company.thanks for taking a look at this.
Srs/seat belt warning light came on at instrument panel then intemittingly over the next week. took car in to dealer on october 13, 2014. dealer advised that i needed to repair and not covered under any type of warranty. called acura corp for financial assistance, advised i would have to pay entirely for the repair, not covered under warranty. similiar situation occurred with my transmission, needed to pay 60% for repairs even though it was under warranty. very surprised there was no recall for transmission with hundreds if not thousands of mdx owners affected. hfl/bluetooth function inoperable and disconnected due to parasitic drainage. need to replace no warranty coverage. sent 3 certified letters to acura corporate officers seeking answers, yet to receive a response from anyone. this is what you get from buying a luxury vehixle from acura. *tr
