#1723 of 1817 Re: Mechanical problems [vaughn4] by lmitchell30 Apr 02, 2009 (2:24 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 1817 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 1817 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)

Replying to: bryantboy (Apr 15, 2009 1:37 pm) I have a 02MDX that I like as well. We have put a number of kilometers on it since buying it new in late 01. A few years ago it seemed to be getting quite noisy and rough riding over cracks in road, small pot holes and almost anything but perfect road conditions. I could not get any diagnosis from our local dealership but finally got it figured out with my mechanic that does our other vehicles. It came down to replacing $20 bushings on the front and rear of the suspension. However those bushings we put back in were also the manufacturer product and we have just finished replacing them again. This time we did not use them but had another product put in as the Acura bushings had only gone 50% of the original ones. The noises are gone but I'm still feeling that the ride is stiff and the dampening of any road cracks or holes is not that good. I'm reading from other threads that it may in fact be a function of the suspension from the manufacturer. It has been several years since it was new so my recollection is vague about the original ride.

Replying to: lmitchell30 (Apr 02, 2009 2:24 pm) It sounds like the infamous gas tank thud, I have it in my '04, lots of people have it on their Ody's too. Just fuel sloshing around in the tank, something about the baffles in the tank...
#1732 of 1817 Re: 09 MDX - noise from rear of car - Thud/Thump [smilsom] by sweetadad Apr 21, 2009 (3:27 pm)
Replying to: smilsom (Feb 18, 2009 5:50 am) I'm facing the same thing. I have 600KM on the car and I bought it 3 weeks ago. I have senistive ears and that noise is ether getting louder or I am just noticing it more. But on bad days,that noise gives me a headache as you said it eminates and it sounds similar to a subwoofer "booming"   What worries me is that by reading the posts here, it's normal and Acura is doing nothing about it....what a waste of money!!!!
