2004 Acura MDX other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I was in a parking mode and was leaving the parking lot. I reversed my car lo leave, and the car went out of control and was not until it crashed on two other parked cars that came to a stop. Then, After reversing my car, when trying to put it into drive, it would not move. When I tried to turn it off, the engine (re) started again and it worked so I could clear the path for other cars and wait until the police came. I had major maintenance at Acura Hopkins 2 and 3 years ago, I had a new steering pump and hoses changed 5 months ago and new front and rear brakes 3 months ago. Many people who are familiar with cars tell me that it was probably the rings. I don't know it may be the transmission? There was a police report as there were two other cars involved and both with severe damages. State Farm considered my car totaled despite the large amount of money spent to bring this car to almost new condition.

I DISCOVERED SEVERE FRAME RUST UNDER MY REAR BUMPER COVER. LARGE CHUNKS OF RUSTED METAL ARE EASILY PULLED OFF BY HAND. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE ABILITY OF THE BUMPER/FRAME TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY TO MY FAMILY IN THE EVENT OF A REAR COLLISION. THE PICTURES I'VE SUBMITTED ARE AT LEAST THREE YEARS OLD. I SUSPECT THE SITUATION HAS DETERIORATED SINCE THEN. THESE WERE THE PICS I SUBMITTED TO ACURA AT THAT TIME, WHEN THEY INFORMED ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING AS MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I'VE SINCE FOUND REPORTS OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR RUST PROBLEMS ON THEIR ACURA MDX AS WELL AS HONDA PILOTS, WHICH I BELIEVE SHARE THE SAME FRAME ASSEMBLY'

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WARNING CONTINUES TO COME ON AND STAY ON. SOMETIMES IS GOES OFF, BUT COMES BACK ON LATER. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER IN CHARGE OF AIRBAG RECALL AND THE ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED WAS PAYING A HEFTY FEE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE WITHOUT GUARANTEE. THIS WAS REPORTED IN 2014 AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM BEFORE THIS AND CURRENTLY, 2019.

PURCHASED NEW IN 2004. DURING MAINTENANCE I FOUND THE REAR FRAME BEHIND THE BUMPER COVERING TO BE SEVERELY RUSTED. NOT SURFACE RUST BUT CHUNKS THAT I CAN EASILY PULL OFF BY HAND. CONCERNED ABOUT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE AND MY SAFETY I CONTACTED ACURA CONSUMER RELATIONS. SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO JUST SAID THEY CAN'T HELP BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS PROBABLY WRONG WITH THEIR MATERIALS USED TO ALLOW SUCH SEVERE RUST TO OCCUR AND EAT AWAY AT THE FRAME.

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

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR WHAT I AM CERTAIN WILL BE A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION!
