I just bought an 08 Acura MDX and mine is shaking and vibrating at about 65-70mph. The MDX loaner they gave me had NO such vibration. How did your situation turn out tkv_01? I'm really going to dig in and fight on this, I know they're going to try and say it's "normal". But my loaner says otherwise. They allegedly checked the balance on my wheels/tires but who knows? They said they were fine. I'm bummed

08 MDX
Second time fix for audio lights illuminating delay after start up at night.
First time they replaced radio unit in april 08 and it happened again 1 month after and again 5months later and I finally got it on video from a phone! 2nd repair I go to pic up vehicle and rear passenger floor and seat is saturated with water and moisture. I visually inspected the area to find water in the door panel and grill of the door for speaker but the surface had been all wiped down! Something I do not need right now, I am so p-off and stuck on what to do and what to expect.
I refused to take the car so they could address the problem and they initially made excuses to what happened.

We have a 2007 MDX and have a similar problem. We had it to several dealers, and replacing the tires because of flat spots and after several attempts with "road force balancing" approximately 90% of our vibration problem was solved. But occasionally it is felt at similar speeds 65-75mph.
At what mileage did the vibration begin?
Please post the results and details of your repair.

My 08 MDX had 31 miles on it when it started shaking. The very first drive on the way home from the dealership. My loaner is butter smooth. The good news is the dealership svc. guy recognizes and acknowledges the problem. I'm vying to get them to exchange my X for one with no such vibration, while it's still new. I'm probably dreaming. I'll have to hope the things you had done help. 90% better is good, but I'm paying 100%. If you know what I mean. I truly appreciate you sharing your experience.

08 MDX Creeking noise from driver window

I got a Sport/Ent. Pack. MDX. With the radio volume low or off, I can hear a "creaking" type of noise coming from the driver's window when it is rolled all the way up. I sounds like the window moved down very slightly, thus is a little loose. It is not down enough to let wind in, but it is getting irritating. If I roll the window up, it will move very slightly and the noise will go away for another 20 miles or so and come back. I have taken it into the dealership 3 times now and they still can't find the problem. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what could be causing that? I had a rattle in my steering wheel along with the road vibration at hwy speeds. The rattle turned out to be some loose airbag housing, now the whole airbag assembly has to be replaced. I'm pretty stunned at the slippage in quality that Acura is apparently undergoing. Let us know what your window problem turns out to be. I've read other posts of people with sounds coming from their B pillar as well.

emissions malfunction warning

I just bought a used 2004 mdx in August. I took it in to have a service (oil/filter-overall trip check) and told the mechanic that I am getting horrible gas mileage (11-13 mpg) he suggested a fuel flush and additive. I have had the car back 2x now for a warning light indicator (malfunction indicator) it was not on before I had the car brought in and it does go off when I pick up the car at the mechanics shop-comes back on 1/2 into driving again. Does anyone have any input into this problem. The car seems to be driving fine. But the owners manual says it can be serious or can be nothing (very helpful)

The third time I got the vehicle back, Acura replaced a black plastic trim molding on the outside of the the b-pillar. They stated it was "bowing" outward and when they pressed on it, it made a "squeaking" type of noise. But that didn't seem to solve the problem. Acura Quality Assurance Dept. called yesterday and inquired on the repair. I told them the problem still exists, so someone will call me on Monday to schedule another appointment to bring the vehicle in, again. I'll let you know the outcome.

It sounds like a sensor problem. Whatever they used to flush your fuel system must have wiped out a/few sensors in the emissions system. The shop should be able to diagnosis this problem accurately with a diagnosis machine. The connect it to your port and in a few seconds get a reading. Is "the shop" an Acura Service/Repair Shop? If not, try taking it to one. They might not catch the error code if the emission light is not displayed when you take the vehicle in.
