Acura MDX airbags did not deploy in accident, raising safety concerns on Acura MDX

Some Acura MDX owners report experiencing significant safety concerns related to airbag deployment failures during accidents. In particular, there have been reports of airbags not deploying, including a specific incident involving a 2014 Acura MDX that crashed into a rod iron fence without the airbags activating. Additionally, Honda has recalled certain 2010 Acura MDX models due to a manufacturing issue where a bolt may not have been properly installed, potentially impacting airbag function. Common causes for airbag failure include electrical noise that can lead to the airbag control module malfunctioning, resulting in unintended deployments while driving. Furthermore, defects in the front passenger seat weight sensor can cause airbags to deploy incorrectly due to cracks and short-circuits, linked to supplier errors. These issues underscore the critical need for Acura MDX owners to remain vigilant about recalls and potential airbag deployment problems to ensure their safety.
