| 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? | |

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?

hello. i'm in the market for a 2004 MDX touring. i've found 1 in my area that is a white/beige touring model with dvd system and 38050 miles. it is acura certified and the dealer has listed is for 26995, but offered it via e-mail to me for 25200. my question is what would be a fair price for this car...i know it's difficult to answer w/o seeing it, but it is in very good cosmetic condition (no major scratches, dents, no carpet/leather stains). the carfax is clean with no reported accidents. the dealer did, however, state the left front fender was repainted at some point, but the fender is original (not replaced). what price-point would you suggest i aim for? thanks in advance for your help! also, if another forum would serve me better, please let me know.

| Has anyone installed a remote starter on their pre-07 MDX and if so which brand? When I bought the vehicle the dealer steered me away from installing one because it would interfere w/ the security system. However, now the '04 sits in the driveway because I don't have enough room in the garage. Damn it's getting cold out! | |
