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.

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 1815 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 1815 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)

Replying to: chris_k (Apr 02, 2009 12:53 pm) You might want to try adjusting the screen brightness by turning the navigation dial while the car is in reverse.

Replying to: kukharkin (Oct 23, 2006 9:34 am) Hello, I have exactly the same issue, bought a new taillight assembly on line for 1/2 price now I need to install it. Did you ever get an answer on how to proceed with removing the old one? Thanks Chuck

Replying to: linda31 (Apr 04, 2009 2:53 pm) Why not just use a pencil like i do? Much cheaper and less hassle. Replies to this message: linda31 (Apr 13, 2009 8:32 am)

Replying to: upstatedoc (Apr 13, 2009 8:05 am) Yes I think I agree. All the hassle I've gone through trying to fix the problem has only caused further frustration with no resolution without the extreme cost. I like the pencil option for my own sanity. Will spend my $$$ elsewhere.
#1729 of 1815 My '03 MDX by bryantboy Apr 15, 2009 (1:37 pm)
I several questions and comments. First off, I really like the MDX, for an SUV it handles really well, like some of the other comments I have read, the acceleration is great, the sound system is really hot too. That was a great feat. to me. As a matter of fact the whole entertainment system is great. My questions and concerns start with:   * If there is one, where is the latch/button for the back hatch?   * I heard you can play dvd's up on the front navigator screen? Does this mean the kids can watch their dvd as the adults/passengers in the front watch a separate dvd simultaneously?   * Does anyone feel like the suspension could be more durable? Where you don't feel the railroad tracks and bumps alike so much when going over them?   * Could putting on a bigger and wider tire help take in some of those railroads and bumps I feel when I go over them? I'd like for the ride to be much more softer or at least be able take the bumps much better. I feel less bumps in my 5 series BMW than I do in the MDX. Or was this issue fixed in the later MDX models ? Replies to this message: gennis (Apr 18, 2009 7:40 pm)
