#1719 of 1820 Re: 09 MDX - noise from rear of car - Thud/Thump [smilsom] by qgnguyen Mar 25, 2009 (3:39 am)
Replying to: smilsom (Feb 18, 2009 5:50 am) I have a 08 MDX Sport Ent. I have the same problems as described "when I go over fairly sharp bumps or small potholes a distinct low frequency thunk or thump eminates from the rear of the car." and several knobs noise at the initial start in 18-20mph. I don't know if this is a faulty or what? Does anyone have the solutions for them yet? Thanks.

I went to the dealer twice - had a rear damper kit installed as well as some bolts changed in the rear suspsension and the noise is still present. Its a low frequency thunk or thump from the back - even test drove another MDX and the noise is still there. I think this is an inherent design issue with the vehicle.... unfortunately... if all of the new models have this issue I'm surprised not to hear more people complaining about it. Then I think maybe I'm just overly sensitive to it or because I live in NYC with the potholes its more apparent.   Would be interested in anyone elses feedback.
#1721 of 1820 Re: "Drag" feeling at 40mph and 20mph? [cobains] by wwest Apr 01, 2009 (4:23 pm)
Replying to: cobains (Oct 07, 2008 6:32 pm) In order to increase FE most manufacturers are now extending the coastdown "fuel cutoff" period/time by downshifting "lightly" (no serious level of compression braking incurred {hazardous for FWD and F/awd}) in order to keep the engine revs just slightly above stall point.   So you're likely to feel a bit more coastdown "drag" in these newer FWD and F/awd vehicles than was normal of yesteryear.
#1722 of 1820 Having trouble seeing rearview camera screen by chris_k Apr 02, 2009 (12:53 pm)
Just purchased an MDX Tech and love it! Previous car was a Lexus RX350 and whenever I backed up had no problem seeing the rear images on the dashboard screen.   With the Acura, if it is sunny (not even overly bright), it is extremely hard to see the rear images on the dash screen. Has anybody had this problem and are there any ways to adjust the screen? The owner's manual was not helpful. Replies to this message: dave210 (Apr 05, 2009 12:14 pm)

Replying to: vaughn4 (Dec 23, 2007 8:47 am) I purchased a used 05 MDX and have been experiencing the same thing almost immediately after purchasing. Thud when turning into and out of driveway (sharp turn although I am noticing it more ) also when changing gear from reverse to drive.   Can anyone advise or share their experience what would be some steps to get it repaired or even take legal action?

#1724 of 1820 Acura MDX air vent replacement by linda31 Apr 04, 2009 (2:53 pm)
I have a 2003 Acura MDX. The clips on all 4 air/hent vents on the dashboard are broken. I'm realizing many MDX owners are also having the same problem. It's extremely expensive to replace them through the dealership. Wondering if anyone knows where I can get the parts at a reasonable price and how to remove the 2 outside vents (I already know how to access the 2 middle vents). Can anyone help me. I do live in Canada. Might be a consideration when ordering parts perhaps. Replies to this message: upstatedoc (Apr 13, 2009 8:05 am) linda31 (Apr 13, 2009 8:32 am)
