 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

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

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?

| I have an 02 MDX with 90K. When I rev the engine up to 3k+ RPMs (while in park or neutral), I get a metallic rattle only when I first let off on the gas; that sounds like it is coming from the lower part of the engine. Just had catalytic converter replaced at 80K. Dealer says the noise seems to be coming from the area where the y-pipe comes from the engine, but has not be able to diagnose the problem. Any suggestions? | |

Replying to: upstatedoc (Nov 02, 2007 5:29 am) The wife has taken ownership of the MDX and this occurred when I got my G35 back in April. I was fighting quite a bit with Acura over this vibration, and they were trying to work with me, but making matters worse with every attempt. They've scratched interior panels, screwed up wiring, ruined a cargo tie down and the list goes on. When the wife took the MDX from me, she didn't continue the fight... didn't matter as much to her. She still complains about it though. My daughter watches a movie like The Little Mermaid and there are scenes that sound like the whole back of the truck is gonna fall apart. Acura's final word when I last talked to them is "working as designed" The "optional" sound system in the vehicle is an absolute joke and I hate it. I wish I had a good answer for you, but the sub is awful, the system was poorly designed, and the service guys have no idea how to make it any better.  God, that's a bad answer, huh?
