Some owners of the 2017-2018 Acura MDX have been experiencing problems with the rear hatch, leading to the power liftgate warning light coming on and beeping to indicate that the hatch isn't fully closed, even though it is. This prevents owners from locking the other doors and may display a "Power Tailgate Problem" message. Simply manually closing the latch doesn't fix the issue, but dealerships can reach out to Acura tech support for a procedure to adjust and reset the system, which can resolve the error message and latch problems. Another potential cause might be issues with the wiring harnesses or cables.
Typical issues with the power tailgate on a 2017 Acura MDX often stem from a faulty motor or worn-out shocks.
