Replying to: lkns (Nov 30, 2008 12:25 pm) Same here, out of warranty and even if it still was covered, it happens so infrequently that I doubt I would bring it in. It hasn't been "possessed" since the original post!   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 Replies to this message: gotribe (Dec 10, 2008 7:15 pm) upstatedoc (Dec 17, 2008 9:59 am)

Replying to: upstatedoc (Dec 01, 2008 10:18 am) I had the same exact problem with my 2003 MDX--it is defintely fixable. The problem is a wire that runs down the steering column and , as I recall has a bad ground or something. My dealer said it was fairly common. I had it fixed under warranty, dealer said it would have been about $200 because its labor intensive. Replies to this message: upstatedoc (Dec 17, 2008 9:59 am)

#6454 of 6469 Regular gas in my'04 by upstatedoc Dec 17, 2008 (10:06 am)
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.

Replying to: jsb16 (Aug 30, 2008 8:28 pm) You can only program up to 3 remotes per car... two of them are linkable to the driver seat position and the third can only be used for locking/unlocking.

Replying to: wilsongk (Apr 05, 2008 8:59 am) You should be able to buy a key from the Acura parts department (w/ a T5 on the key shank), get it cut and programmed from them for about $20. If your replacement key does not have a T5 on the shank, the service dept would have to program your key at the cost of approx $100 (might as well buy a new one from the parts dept.) You can buy a key fob from ebay (used or generic, but guaranteed to work), and program it yourself for free:   1. Insert the key in the ignition 2. Perform steps A, B, C below 3 consecutive times, performing each cycle within a 5-second timeframe. A. Turn the ignition switch to the ON prosition (where instrument panel lights are on, without starting engine) B. Press the UNLOCK button on the transmitter and release. C. Turn the ignition switch back to LOCK, leaving key in ignition. 3. Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition to ON. 4. Press the UNLOCK button on the same transmitter and release. The power door locks should cycle (locks then unlocks) to confirm system is in programming mode. 5. Within 10 seconds press the UNLOCK button on the same transmitter again and release. The power door locks will cycle to confirm the system accepted the transmitter codes. 6. Repeat step 5 for your second and third transmitters, if applicable. 7. Turn the key back to LCOK and remove key to exit programming mode. 8. Test the remotes.
#6457 of 6469 2005 Certified Acura MDX Touring NAV and RES by jefbak Dec 23, 2008 (1:11 pm)
Will I didn't really need the NAV and RES but I just bought one for $19800 last week with 56K miles, and went with the Honda Financing incentive as well. I don't really like dvd base navigation, but I ordered the latest dvd anyway to give it a try. I do like the back up camera and the memory seats! I would have got a Honda Pilot, but the Acura dealer really wanted to be competitive. I didn't really want black, but the carfax was clean so I went ahead and will put up with the color.

Replying to: dapnkap (Feb 11, 2009 12:16 pm) You can appraise it here and plug in the options, color and zip code to dial it in.   And check the Acura MDX Prices Paid and Buying Experience discussion for other people's deals.
#6460 of 6469 MDX Touring 2006 by subra Feb 15, 2009 (1:21 pm)
I am looking to get a certified Acura MDX Touring 2006 (No DVD, No Navigation) with 25,000 miles. I am being offered a price of $22,750 (excluding TTL) by a Acura dealer - is this a good price? Vehicle has a clean carfax history report and it is "Acura Certified Pre-Owned" vehicle... Anything I need to be aware of like recalls etc on this model. Please comment and I am looking for help or advice. Thanks.
