Replying to: tidester (Mar 17, 2007 12:55 pm) Believe me... I agree. I work for a software company and we've been dealing with DST issues for longer than I care to remember. Why Acura dropped the ball on this, I don't know. As for my Keyfob repair, it's now worse than before. Acura has admitted to there being a problem with the receiver and replaced mine. The car will now no longer lock at all, until I walk up the the passenger window and point the fob inside. Ugh.

Replying to: upstatedoc (Apr 03, 2007 11:57 am) The unit that receives the signal from the keyfob was not working properly, causing me to have a hard time locking the doors.... and was replaced. The keyfobs then need to be programmed to that unit. Another reason would be if you lose your keyfob and buy a new one. The fob then needs to be programmed. This conversation started when people were talking about using the 2007 Keyfob in an earlier model, since the fob is a switchblade design with the key inside.

Replying to: upstatedoc (Apr 04, 2007 10:03 am) We had this feature in an RX300 back in 1998 so i surprise many people who buy a luxury car now and have no idea that happens. Some cars even open the sunroof. -Cj

On my 2002 MDX, noticed a metallic rattling noise mostly when I start or shut off the engine. This happend when I was on a trip out of town. At that time I had about 79,750 miles on the car. When I got back I took it to the dealer (Priority Acura, Cheseapeake, VA). They said it was the catalytic converter, and it was out of the 80,000 federal emmisions warranty - I had 80,450 miles. After two days with the car, they said that Acura would pay half of the $2233.18 bill. I have called Acura customer service, and told them about my loyalty to Honda/Acura products. Do not know if they will budge. Has anyone else had converter problems? Has anyone had Acura do a goodwill replacement over 80,000 miles? BTW, I have had more problems with the MDX than any other vechicle I have owned. These include replacement of transmission, NAVI computer, rear propeller shaft, 4 headlight assys, temp sensor, EGR valve,belt/tensor pulley, front stablizer bars, front shocks, 2 mirror actuators, & front engine mount. And I don't drive it off road. |

To "Catalytic Coverter, 2002 MDX" i have a 2002 MDX and i have no serious problem with it. It has over 165,000 miles on it and is still running in pretty good same (since the day i bought it). The only thing i did major on is just the the routine mantainces that require.
