During driving, Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) will activate and "BRAKE" light will blink, indicating that you should apply brakes. This happened multiple times. Finally the CMBS warning light came on permanently. I took my car to Acura Dealership for repairs. They informed me that it was a software issue and update of the software should resolve this problem.

Per the mechanic many Acura's having issues with handsfreelink bluetooth which doesn't turn off resulting draining battery. We just replaced our battery and issue still persists. I called Acura and they said they are aware of the issue but can not do anything since our VIN is not part of the recall. This can be a big safety issue since people have experienced cars stopped mid road due to no power. Please help since Acura is ignoring safety of their consumers! reference link for the issue which has been reported by many people. www.acuraproblems.com/handsfreelink-battery-draw/ https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/840256-Acura-handsfreelink-defect-class-action-lawsuit-gets-trimmed/ https://terrellmarshall.com/class-actions/Honda-Acura-class-action/

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.
