I'll look to see if the alarm has its own fuse, maybe it needs replacing?
 
I did verify the alarm is being set when I lock with the FOB. Red light does come on the driver side door.
 
Thanks for the suggestion.

You should also be able to verify the alarm is set by just locking the door with the key.
I know, after an awkward experience at the dealership, that if you reach into an open window of a Lexus, unlock the door, and then open it, the alarm sounds through the whole dealership for 10 minutes.... while a bunch of sales people panic while trying to find the missing key.
 
I honestly don't know if the MDX does this as well, but I can try on mine tonight, when I get home.

Your recommedation is how I figured out my alarm was not working.
 
I left my window down, locked the doors and then reached in and unlocked my doors manually, No alarm sounded?

Leather Seats; by mweinstein2

2005 MDX: 23000 miles only! Bought new. When I received car their was creases in the leather that the dealer blamed on the plastic that was on the seats and said would even out. After 8 months and no change they replaced. New covers not much better but I waited again as they told me leather would even out.; Today I met with regional service manager that said it was normal wear. I said I hardly use the car, (23000 miles in 3 years) and that this was not exceptable in a $40+ vehicle. I asked who I could now speak with and he said he was it and the next step would be for me to go to court. Could not believe they way I was treated. They said if they showed me other vehicles where the leather was the same would I be satisfied. They showed be MDX with 65k mileage and the seats looked better then mine. I am not heavy and can no one can believe how crappy the seats look. My concern is with only;y 23000 miles, what will it look at when the car has 60k. Anyone else have same issues and suggestions on who I should speak with next. Calling care in CA has not gone to far. Thanks

My '04's seats started creasing from day one. I just thought it was my weight. Now I think it is from poor quality leather as I have compared them to the leather in my '07 sport w/ not a crease after almost 10k miles.

One might regard it as normal wear - for inferior leather.

The fact that the regional service manager said that their was no one else for me to speak to after him and my next step would be to take them to court is ridicolus and insulting. I was hoping someone on the forum would know the best way to deal rather then just calling Acura corporate

Subwoofer in '04 by upstatedoc

Scottm123,
 
I believe you have had issues w/ the subwoofer in your pre '07 MDX. Am I right? I have had the vibration from it as well for a long time and now it is out of warranty. Is there anything I can do myself to lessen this vibration? I have had to turn the bass down to almost zero to get rid of the noise. Thanks

New Brakes by upstatedoc
Nov 02, 2007 (12:48 pm)

Just had new brakes put on the '04 all the way around, not cheap $950 for pads and rotors. I had two estimates and both places (Acura and Monro) suggested it needed to be done. Some people i've talked to wonder why the brakes went out after only 50k miles. Has anyone else had to replace the brakes so soon?
