#3 of 6469 Warning on ignition by GLeen Nov 19, 2000 (8:39 pm)
Ok. Here is my story. I decided to take a ride down to see the Sandy Hook Lighthouse in New Jersey with my wife and two kids today. There is something about lighthouses that draws me to see them and read about them. Anyway, we decided to stop off at a local restaurant for lunch. After lunch I could not start the car. I noticed that the green key indicator was flashing. In other words the key was not being recognized by the car. Thus, we could not start it. I called Acura's road side assistance and they were going to send a flat bed to tow the car to a safe place for over-night storage. They were then going to tow it to the nearest dealer to my house. They also told me that I was responsible for finding my own way home. How is that for service. i went off on them for that one. I cannot start my brand new car and they want me to lay out some bucks. I then went back into the restaurant to use the rest-room since I knew we were going to be standing by for a while. As I came out of the restaurant, I noticed another Silver MDX parked in front. I also noticed that my wife was in the drivers seat. She was able to start it? Yes! She said that when I left the car, she put the key in the ignition and left it there for about a minute. She tried it and it started. The car now accepted the key. I do not know what caused the problem on my 5 day old MDX. I am very nervous though. I will call my dealer tomorrow and post what he says. Be careful folks. Please post if you had a similar experience. Later.    Replies to this message: khoy (Aug 12, 2009 10:59 am)

Hmm, interesting. It sounds like a faulty immobiliser, so either the key or the immobiliser computer, or both may have a problem. I recommend that you bring along the other key/keyfob, just in case the your MDX fails to start again. This way, you will at least be able to do some testing. Good luck!

You will have to transfer the pictures from your private Photopoint.com "Incoming" folder to the "MDX" folder. William, FWIW, full resolution pictures were available in Photopoint before September. Drew/aling Townhall Community Leader/Vans Conference
#7 of 6469 Acura starting problems by railr Nov 20, 2000 (1:29 am)
For a bulletin about NO STARTS with an Acura, check out http://www.acuradriver.com/service/news/1999c2.asp Basically - you may have too many keys or a large metal object on your key ring which interferes with the immobilizer signal in the key. Rail

Link now should work...Thanks for the tutoring. I HAD a few close ups too, but the file transfer software apparently over wrote them since I had two copies of two pictures. I swear I am not really that technically challenged, but there is nothing like learning something new to make you feel like a complete rookie!

jdford, the ProStripe looks great on your (black) vehicle! Nice job, and thanks for the pictures. railr, that explains it. Though it's pretty stupid. I think about the fancy Acura keychain that comes with the owner's manual and snicker that it's not to be used with your Acura car key.

jdford - Congratulations. You have just created a new $500 option for Acura dealers! Looks great.
