Hello, my name is\*\*\*\*\* to hear that you are having issues with your Acura MDX.
From the things I can gather from what you said, it seems like there connection problem at a main power source. I have seen that happen a few times on some MDX's and one of the possible issues could be due to a poor connection at the battery terminals. I would recommend taking off both positive and negative cables and doing a thorough cleaning and making sure there is no corrosion, no film on the cable end or on the battery posts. Please also make sure the battery cable end is fully seated on the battery post and almost touching the battery surface for proper fitment.
Another thing to check is that the main battery negative cable ground is tight and also clean. You can follow the negative cable to where it is bolted to the body. You can take that bolt off and sand down the are slightly, to make sure it's getting a proper grounding.

I have checked all of those but now I'm think it might be the alternator. I've changed it before but I'm not sure if it's even possible that it could already be the alternator when I changed it a year ago

If it was a failed alternator, it would have drained the battery voltage down, and not allowed the vehicle to restart. So, I think the possibility of it being the alternator is very slim. The vibration from opening and closing the door may have caused it to allow battery power to function again. So, something like the main relay may be the culprit or a grounding/connection issue would be more what I would look into.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
