2011 MDX is dead
So we've already had the recall (performed in ~Feb/March), yet our MDX completely died last night. We have 18,400 miles.
We had it jumped by Acura Roadside Assistance, yet the navi screen restarted twice on a drive and I received a brake system failure notification.
Anyone else run into this?

There was a recall for the car not shutting everything off and/or battery/charge sensor lighting up.
A second recall was done for the transmission ECU.
I thought we would stop hearing the radio/CD/entertainment cluster whine, but I was wrong.
Now we have a 4000lb paper weight.

Call AcuraCare for roadside assistance, get a loaner/rental

Your post is really confusing and I don't really understand what you are talking about. You are still under warranty, so whatever it is should be fixed at no cost to you, and you should have a loaner in the meantime.

2. This is now the second or third time I've had battery-related issues with THIS vehicle. I've also had batteries replaced under warranty on about 80% of the Honda/Acura products I've owned.
3. This issue has been discussed by others (weak battery).
4. AcuraCare doesn't help on a Saturday night when (a) dealer is closed, and (b) gate is locked.
5. If you read my original post, it noted that I received a jump - from "AcuraCare" - and car promptly re-died.
6. Can't get loaner on a Sunday. Unless you have a magic way to get my dealer to deliver a car to me.

1. Repair cost isn't the issue. The fact that a $50k 2011 MDX with 18k miles has crapped the bed is the issue.

2. Get an aftermarket battery I remember reading not too long ago about someone who replaced the battery twice under warranty and then bought another one (aftermarket) that he/she got partially reimbursed for from Acura. The battery is a consumable, and may not be the right "size" for all the electronics in the Acura. I had the one in my RDX replaced under warranty.

4. 5. 6. AcuraCare should have the car towed to the dealer. I would read what AcuraCare should do for you in cases like this, I stand to be corrected, but there may be some rental reimbursement somewhere. You don't need to use an Acura dealer to fix your car on a Sunday, go to pep boys if it's that urgent.
