| Dt*: the contact stated while driving 20mph the airbag light illuminated without warning and the engine stalled. the engine would not restart and the battery was discharged. afterwards, the airbag and tire mounting light illuminated. the vehicle was seen by the dealer and the battery was replaced. the dealer determined the navigation unit was draining the battery. the engine stalling persisted and the vehicle lost all power. the engine was restarted but continued to stall. the vehicle was towed to the dealer who determined there was a short within the airbag srs module wiring. although the airbag problem was corrected, the stalling continued. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for further inspection, but the dealer was unable to duplicate the stalling problem. | |||

| I don't know if this counts but here i go. i purchased my new acura 2005 mdx over 3 months ago. i know this is not a recall but wanted to make you aware of a booming sound that is coming from the sub-woofer in the rear. its almost if the woofer is loose inside the rear of the car. i guess a lot of other 2005 mdx owners are having the same problem. its a procedure where the interior has to be taken off and an adhesive is put around the subwoofer to secure it to the vehicle. you might want to report this to acura. i hope this helps. *jb | |||
