Replying to: vaughn4 (Apr 30, 2008 3:28 pm) Reliability on the new MDX is very good as rated by consumer reports and others. It sounds like you got a lemon. Also you demonstrate why I never buy a new model the 1st year it is out. All the bugs aren't worked out yet.
#1616 of 1815 airbag message by gjpearce May 01, 2008 (2:11 am)
just bought a new MDX Sport. Next day, the airbag message came on. Took it to the dealer and he diagnosed a faulty airbag seatbelt sensor. He said car was safe to drive. Nine days later he got the part in. He replaced it in a 90 minute service. So I am driving home (a 40 mile trip) and light comes back on. Next day I called dealer yelling and screaming- he brings me a loaner. Two days later, returns my car and now we are waiting to see if everything is OK. Anybody else with airbag warning lights?

#1618 of 1815 Re: 2007 MDX Falling Apart [mdx_owner] by donmatteo May 03, 2008 (8:08 am)
Replying to: mdx_owner (Aug 20, 2007 7:44 pm) I have a 2001 model MDX and have been less than thrilled with the purchase myself. I bought it used with 80K miles on it and within 2K miles, had to replace the transmission. Acura Corp helped with 1/2 of the cost, which I thought was fair. I was only out $1800.   Then the Engine Mounts broke, $900 repair.   Then the buttons on the overhead light broke. $300 unit replacement.   Now the driver door won't open, even though it's unlocked. Neither the interior nor exterior handle will get it to work so I have to climb in & out of the passenger door. Looks like my "accentuator" might be out too. I saw a Google posting on the same problem and in that case, the dealer couldn't fix it so he sent it to a body shop to have the door sawed off and the entire handle assembly replaced.   The MDX is a nice ride but the headaches aren't worth it. My other car give me much fewer problems and guess what... it's American made.
#1619 of 1815 Reliable Repair Shop for Acura MDX in Plano/Richardson/Allen TX area by un_sidiq May 03, 2008 (8:14 am)
Hi   I am looking for a reliable shop/mechanic(preferably Acura Certified) to work on MDX, someone i know who took his MDX for the 15000 miles service and was given a estimate of $900, i was wondering if someone knows of a place in Plano/Richardson/Allen TX area ? Also for the oil change do the quick lube shops use the "crush washer" that the dealership puts so much stress on when doing oil change ? Thanks Replies to this message: jas8 (May 04, 2008 11:24 am)

Replying to: un_sidiq (May 03, 2008 8:14 am) In the past, I have used Danny's Import Service. (He did my 30,000 and 45,000 service for my 02 MDX). It is a little farther away than you are looking - but he does great work. He is in Lewisville (121/35 area). www.dannysimport.com.
#1622 of 1815 Differential oil change by barb36jack31 May 04, 2008 (12:56 pm)
The dealer says that the differential oil must be changed every 15000 miles. The manual says that if you drive a lot at slow speeds in the mountains or tow a trailer, change the diff.oil at 7500 mi and at 15000 mi. intervals after that. It makes no mention of how often to change the diff.oil if you drive normally with no special loads being placed on the car.   Comments please.   Jack H.
#1623 of 1815 Windshield Glass by bill124 May 08, 2008 (10:57 am)
Anyone have any issues with windshield? Got a slight ding within first few weeks. Now in a different and unrelated area it cracked. Told it was a tiny pebble by glazier. Never had this happen with any other car and realize it could just be bad luck. Getting it replaced tomorrow. Thanks in advance.
#1624 of 1815 Re: Radio button lights dont come on sometimes 08 MDX? [jt10] by herberth May 10, 2008 (10:56 am)
Replying to: jt10 (Apr 11, 2008 4:55 am) I have the same problem with our '07 MDX. I bought the car back in May '07 and the radio channels intermittently reset to 87.7 on FM1 and FM2. (I don't use AM, but I'm sure they get reset too.) When this happened 6 plus times, I brought the MDX into the dealer in mid February '08 and they could not replicate the problem. They said that Acura HQ is aware of the problem and even quoted a T-Line reference #2555821. The dealer said that in a month or two, they should have a fix.   It is 3 months and the radio channels have preset 4 times. It is extremely annoying. I called the dealer to inquire about the fix and they now tell me that it may take upwards of 6 months to diagnose the problem. I think this sounds way too long.   Is there some law as to how long they can take in finding a solution? Also, does anyone have access to the Acura T-Line and look up that reference number?   Thanks. Replies to this message: jt10 (May 13, 2008 4:52 am)
