We have a 2011 MDX and about a year or so ago, we started having frequent battery drain issues. Acura dealers check out the battery and the electrical system and everything is fine. They tell us that we should not be using the 'accessory function' in the 'turn the key forward' mode.
The battery literally drains to only a click in a matter of 30 minutes of use in this manner. I did this as recently as yesterday, had to get a jump start and it probably took 5 minutes of connection to get started again.
Acura tells us this is normal and to not use the accessory function, ever.
Two oddities, 1) I have never had this issue with any other car and 2) I did not have this issue with this car for the first 4 years of ownership.
Can anyone confirm that this is 'normal' and if not, do you have any suggestion as to what might be the issue?
Thank you! My first post.
