I changed the oil in my car with synthetic 4k miles ago. About 1k miles ago I started getting an error that said low oil level. I went back into the lube shop to see what was going on, they said there was no leakage or issues there but there was hardly any oil in my car and that it was probably burning oil. I searched for issues with my 2013 MDX burning oil and an issue in 2019 with clogged oil control rings came up but said that the warranty extension would only be good to 2021. I found out this will be $5k to fix. I was never alerted of this issue and would like to submit a complaint about not being notified that this was even an issue in my car. I would like Acura to fix my vehicle since I never received the alert that this was a known issue in my car.

I have a 2013 Acura MDX with an estimated 87k miles. Over the past 3 months, the engine will cut off while I'm driving and the steering wheel and brakes lock up. This has happened about 5 times in a three-month period. There are no warning lamps on my dashboard and no codes appeared during the diagnostic tests. My mechanic is unable to reproduce the issue. I have two young sons and am terrified of driving them in the MDX. The engine failure happens very randomly as it's cut off while driving at varying speeds.

I received notification of excessive oil consumption affecting my vehicle from Acura (2013 MDX) I took the car as instructed to bridgewater Acura and they performed an oil consumption test. According to the manufacturer the car had to consume at least 1 quart of oil per 1,000 miles. The dealer stated that my car showed that my car consumed 1 quart at the first 1,000 miles, and 1/2 quart each time at the following 3 -1,000 mile mark. So Acura would not pay for the repair necessary to correct the problem. After this I had an new oil change done and after traveling 4,260 miles and before I was due for another oil change the low level indicator came on. Sure enough the service department of dch Honda in old bridge, NJ verified that my car was out of oil. The dipstick was not registering any oil on it. I had at that time an oil change done to save my engine even if according to manufacturer's recommendation and car computer I was not due for one for another 3,000 miles. My car is obviously burning more oil than expected at 77,000 miles on the engine. I am not an aggressive driver and don't idle the car. I suspect the test was not documented correctly since I am consuming close to 5 quarts of oil per 4,260 traveled miles. I would like to have a new test done and properly witnessed by me this time.

Purchased this a at a used car from Acura of los gatos an picked the car up late on Jan 27th 2016. At noon on Feb 5th (just about 7 days) the car suddenly stop when trying to pull up to the drive way of my friend house. The entire car is in the middle of a small street, blocking cars from moving. Car can't get started even with jumper from a towing company. The car was towed back to los gatos Acura and few hours later we were told the the entire engine is gone. We purchase this used car because it's such a new car just about 2 years old and driven just above 25,000 miles and supposed to run through almost 200 points check from los gatos Acura, but it failed in our face and we are fear for our lives due to the reason that we are lucky enough that the car broke down in a middle of the road in a light traffic area. If the engine did break down in the middle of fast and high traffic freeway, our lives could be in serious danger.

A 2013 Acura MDX vehicle (advance model) was bought in the Acura dealer on July 27, 2013. Starting on October 2013, strong smell of fumes has sporadically been sensed inside the vehicle, making it uncomfortable to breathe. Since November 5, 2013, the vehicle has been in and out of the shop (three times) to target the cause of the fumes. The smell of fumes inside the cabin are sensed not only while driving at 10mph, 40mph, or 60mph but also on short distance rides, during rainy days and while waiting for a light to change (the smell was also sensed outside the vehicle when the windows were down). On the second service appointment, the shop verified the A/C system and the recirculation case of the air conditioning (A/C) system was sealed; but it did not correct what was causing the sporadic smell of fumes. The vehicle has been in the shop since December 23 and not returned since they do not find why the vehicle emits such strong fumes that surpassed the A/C system. The vehicle has hardly been used due to the safety and health concern. As of today, the problem with the vehicle has not been detected nor corrected.
