An airbag system warning message appeared out of nowhere when i turned my parked 2008 acura mdx on in my driveway. My car had/has not been in an accident or hit. It seems like it should be policy for an acura dealer to diagnose the problem for free but i've been told i'll be charged for a diagnosis. Please advise.

This vehicle is having electrical issue in which is affect various parts, including the deceleration of the vehicle. There are times in which the brake is pressed and instead of the vehicle does not respond to start to slow down. The brakes on the truck have replaced along with tires and yet the problem does continues. This a daily thing that happens it is more noticible when the vehicle reached above 65 and above miles. I have almost got into an accident due to this.

My 2008 mdx's battery would drain out often and had to replace 2-3 new batteries during that time frame and numerous jump start. Recently, i just changed battery and had to jump start again within a month. I really got frustrated and took the car to car dealer and he said it's an hfl issue which drains your battery out, so i have to pay $200 to disconnect the system or pay $4000 to put a new hfl system. Their is also a class action law suit regarding this issue and another customer at the dealership had the same issue on his 2008 tl. Why doesn't acura recall and fix the issue??? That's what i want to know. I even emailed acura with a complaint and no response from them yet. ..! This is ridiculous and would never buy acura or honda cars again..!

On saturday, june 2, 2018, i was driving north on interstate 95 and my console lights started blinking and the car just turned off. Luckily, i was able to coast over to the shoulder and watched as the console lights blinked--vsa, brake, information light navigation system screen turned on and off repeatedly, and speedometer and rmp gauges went crazy. I sat on the shoulder and the console lights and navigation system lights continued to blink on and off, and then i saw that the system reset as if the battery had been disconnected. The screen to enter the code to reset your radio system appeared. Then it all stopped and went blank. I put the car in drive to exit the interstate and it continued on until i reached my exit. However, during the drive my console lights continued to blink on and off and the car drove slowly and there was a dragging sound as if the engine was overworking. I had to manually unlock the door, and my windows would not go up to close.
