Have a 2014 MDX with Tech package and has 8200 miles. This is my wife's car and she is 7 months pregnant and I'm seriously concerned that she is unsafe right now in this vehicle so she's not driving untill we get this fixed.
3 days ago, we were pulling out of a restaurant and the car made a buzzing noise in the driver side of the dash and at the same time it felt like the ABS system was applying a brake on the driver side steer axle. It only happened for half a second or so and no fault code occurred. We drove another 10 miles and it did it again. Keep in mind this never has happened in the first 8000miles. We called the dealership and made an appointment for service. Over the next 3 days before the service appointment this happened at least 50 times or more. It happens more often at lower speeds (35-55mph) but it did happen several times going 70-80 mph on the interstate. The dealership test drives the vehicle and (unfortunately) it doesn't happen for them so they basically say they can't fix it cause they don't know whats wrong. The service manager says he thinks it is the sensor that controls the cylinder cutout and that could cause the steering to tighten up. I explained to him that i could feel the car trying to pull to the left for a second before it stops but he was confident it didn't have an abs issue and basically told my wife to go home. I called Acura client relations and they said someone would call me back once they reviewed the issue but i'm seriously concerned about the safety of the vehicle. Right now it's only doing it for a second before it goes away, but what if it did for 5 seconds or 10 seconds or the front brakes locked up on my wife!!!???
Has anyone ever had this happen or familiar with something that could be causing this?? It truly feels like a car thats sliding on ice trying to automatically apply brakes to straighten the car back out, but it only happens for a second and then its back to normal and there is a buzzing vibration sound in the dash when it happens. This is my first Acura and my first time even visiting this website. Please help if you can
