#1696 of 1820 Re: 08 MDX steering shaking and vibration [xlr84life] by Cathe Nov 28, 2008 (11:51 pm)
Replying to: xlr84life (Oct 29, 2008 8:39 pm) Hi guys, could you please share the experience how to get this vibrating issue fixed?   I just bought the 2008 MDX last weekend and feel sligtly vibrating at the 1st drive back to home at 65mph. I had thought the road condition may attribute to this at the first thought but later i realized that my 8-year old acura integra is solid stable at the same road. then I test it on a newly reworked highway with great road condition, vibrating is very clear at 70mph. So I return back to dealership today and the dealer said the highway speed limit here is 55mph so they can not risk getting ticket and can do a 4 wheel balanced hoping to solve the problem, but after then the vibrating is still there. this is extremely frustrating. i am going to go back to dealership coming days.   any suggestions are welcome. many thanks in advance.

Replying to: tkv_01 (Oct 07, 2008 5:41 pm) i had the same vibrating problem clearly at 70mph above. just bought this car last weekend with 100miles in it now. but I feel the vibrating at the 1st drive back to home at 65mph. it was my mistake that I did not have a test drive on this car. anyway i went back to dealer and get the wheel balanced but the problem still exist. deal don't want to verify this by taking risk of getting speeding ticket as high way speed limit is 55   any experience and suggestion?

#1698 of 1820 Shift not smooth from 1-2 by thebouncer1 Dec 17, 2008 (7:48 pm)
Hi, All, I just got a brand new 2008 MDX and notice it doesn't accelerate smoothly from 1st to 2nd. I've put 900 miles on it.   It's most obvious in rush hour traffic where the engine rev to around 2500~2700 then quickly drop under 2000. It was fairly jerky. When decelerating, I felt it surge a little as if I was pumping the accelerator a bit. It is not to the point of being uncomfortable, merely unpleasant and annoying. I mean, my old Malibu does a better job in terms of this. No problem for the upper gear.   Is this normal? Does anyone experience something similar? I really appreciate any of your feedback.

Replying to: Cathe (Nov 29, 2008 12:14 am) I got a new 08 in Oct and had the same problem. I took the car to dealer and got it fixed by replacing all four tires. The problem is due to the 'flat spots' of the tires.
#1700 of 1820 Re: Very Hot inside center console [hotch41] by racer_x1 Jan 22, 2009 (1:59 pm)
Replying to: hotch41 (May 13, 2008 6:19 am) I just bought my 2009 MDX late December 2008. I have been driving it for a month now and I just noticed the same issue. My wife was driving it around town and noticed that the center console was extreamly hot. It was only hot on the passenger side and inside the console itself. It was soo hot that the DVD cases stored inside the console were soft and hot to the touch and some of the plastic of the DVD case starting to warp. I took the car to the Acura dealer. The service attendant told me he averages about 1 call per week on this same issue. He told me that the exhaust system runs underneath the console and that the more you drive, the hotter it gets. For $50K I would think that this wouldn't happen! Does anyone have any positive resolution to this?
#1701 of 1820 Honda Service Dept servicing Acura vehicles by msmassey Jan 27, 2009 (12:16 pm)
I have an '07 Acura MDX that I purchased from an Acura dealer which is located about an hour from my house. I started out taking my vehicle whenever it needed service back to the Acura dealer. But because of the distance and the price of gas, I have been taking it to a local Honda dealer which is located about 5 minutes from my home. I know Honda makes Acura but was just curious in knowing if anyone else takes their Acura in for service to a Honda dealer. And I've also found that with Honda I'm not paying as much as I would with Acura for the cost of the services.

Replying to: msmassey (Jan 27, 2009 12:16 pm) I have with my RL which is out of warranty as they are much lower in cost. Not with my MDX which is under warranty as I did hear that Acura will not accept a Honda's dealers work in the event of a claim.

Replying to: msmassey (Jan 27, 2009 12:16 pm) I too have bought all my acuras at a dealer about an hour away, the local honda dealer will not do warranty work. Luckily my MDX's don't need much non-warranty work (that's why I bought them ) What have you had to bring your '07 in for?

Replying to: upstatedoc (Jan 29, 2009 8:26 am) I haven't had to have any warranty work done yet. I've taken it in for routine maintenance (oil changes, tire rotation, etc.) Replies to this message: upstatedoc (Jan 30, 2009 10:48 am)

Replying to: msmassey (Jan 29, 2009 10:42 am) eh, I take my acuras to a jiffy lube I trust, I just stand there and watch 'em do everything.
