This is very odd and only happens once every few months and not worth my time to take it to the dealer but the steering wheel mounted radio controls on our '04 go haywire from time to time. The volume "up" button turns the volume down and vice versa. The "mode" button becomes the "channel" button and vise versa and then the next time I get in the car everythings back to normal. Has this happened to anyone else's '01-'06 MDX?  . Is my car possessed?

Hello all- I am leaning towards purchasing a used (2006-2005) MDX but also considering the Pilot. What do you think the financial incentives will be post-labor day? Any 0% for 36 month financing, or extending 0.9% for more than 36 months? And anything I should be evaluating between the pilot and mdx other than cost? Thanks |

Just bought the above MDX with 35K miles for $22,900 with 0.9% financing and an extra set of all season mats.. I asked the dealer to include three key fobs and although he gave me four of them, he only set up two and said that only two could be used at a time. I understand that there are only two memory presets but I would use the third fob just to open and close the doors. Three of the fobs say Memory 1 or Memory 2 and give instructions on pushing the lock and unlock buttons to link/unlink the memory seat. The fourth fob says nothing about a memory seat and just says Omron Corporation Japan in this same spot. The two remotes that work are one Memory 1 and the odd fourth remote. Has any one had success linking more than two remotes with a 2005 MDX? Perhaps my fourth remote is a non-touring model remote and I can use this while I program a Memory 2 remote too. The FCC IDs are the same on all four. Just for the data base, I paid an additional $950 over the above price to extend the cerified warranty from 5 years after in-service date to 7 years (AcuraCare) with no deductible. They wanted to sell me a higher priced non-AcuraCare warranty but I told him I would buy a Santucci warranty and they came down to this price.

I bought an acura mdx on 08/14/07 and it was a 2007 w/nav and ent. I found out after I had possession that they slipped me a model made in Sept 2006. It has a window sticker marked "DEMO PROGRAM DO NOT SELL" in big black letters. Also where the crash test ratings are. It says "Not Yet Rated" and all stars are light gray, not dark like current MDX stickers. Besides many problems with the vehicle I am very unhappy. The build quality is bad, seams coming apart, rattles, squeaks, noises, banging underneath front end, etc, After taking it from the dealer I drove away for a 21/2 week vacation. Nothing but greif. Always pulling to the right, shaking wheel after 55 mph. When I brought it in for service one month after I got it they changed right wheel bearings. Now out the dealer it still has issues. Right back in. Now left front struts , then they send me a card in mail that says I have a torn boot and must come back in??. I do then back out and back in again. They say nothing wrong. I take to another dealer. They find problem right away and show me a TSB dated while in possession of the last service with my dealer. While fixing they call me with another needed repair. I fax them invoice that my dealer did that already. not true! They then did the repair. I have more gripes but have asked dealer and acura to take it back and give me another one. What do you think?? I have lemon law attorney who says I am close to that process now but the fact remains. They screwed me. They gave me a car they had in stock from Nov 2006 until me at August 2007. Where has this car been? In the sun? outside? Is this 'new". Is this a"demo". ? Either way this car did NOT QUALIFY for the 5 star crash test rating. This has been admitted to me buy Acura. They can't retrofit either. Didn't they then provide me a car other than what was advertised?/ No matter what I have had 2 prior MDX vehicles, 2001 and 2004 and 2 other Acuras. I have had more repairs on this 2007 MDX than I did with all the others put together. Even Acura knows this. They checked and could see all of my services for the past 13 years. Perfect score with NO problems, Nothing broken, HELP!!! Please feed me some more juice so I can get Acura to settle this already and give me another vehicle. Thank you for reading and any advice or info you can provide me. MDX owner in Scarsdale, NY |

Replying to: lkns (Nov 30, 2008 12:25 pm) BTW, how's the tranny on your '04? Mine is approaching 60k miles and OK so far. I've heard that Acura will extend the warranty for a shoddy tranny in the MDX's

After carefully reading the owners manual regarding fuel recommendations, I decided to try 87 octane after spoiling it for the last 5 years with 93 oct.(no 91 around here). I can report after the 3rd tank of 87 ($1.79/ gal) that the mileage hasn't changed and I can feel no appreciable difference in performance. The manual says I may notice "knocking" and/or decrease in performance but does not say anything about harming the engine. Still, I am reluctant to make a total switch.
