Well I was approaching 70k trouble free miles in my '04 MDX when it suddenly came down with a case of "sticky shifter". It literally happened overnight, the day before it went "snick, snick" when you moved the shifter, the next day it was like someone poured molasses down there. Acura service told me sometimes condensation forms and they have to take the shifter assembly apart "around $200, yada, yada". Transmission is fine (knock on wood), has this happened to anyone else?

Replying to: vaughn4 (Jan 18, 2008 4:24 pm) I have had the compliance bushings on my '08 MDX changed twice. The second time they needed to be changed because the original clicking problem persisted. Now the cllicking has gone away, however, it seems like there now is a buzz or a hum (high frequency vibration) when I get above 70 mph. Did you experience anything similar to this? Thanks kdias

I own an Acura MDX 2006. I bought it because of its reputation of quality and reliability. I guess it's no more. Last week, the car suddenly lost its steering power when my wife picked up my 17 mo old boy. My wife had to do an emergent stop on the side of road and had to call the roadside service. Fortunately it happened on local road. I cannot imagine what would happen to my wife and kid if it were on highway. The tow truck driver came and found the crank pulley sitting on the ground when he checked the car. I was shocked to see the actual crank pulley piece of medal laying on the ground. This MDX is only 26k. Obviously the vehical is not under heavy use. But still over the past 3 years of ownership, it has given us problem after problem. First it's the air conditioning system failure within one year. Then it's the wind shield fluid dispense system failure. Now it's the life threatening incident. I would never buy Acura anymore. -Dennis |

| I, like previous posters, have an undiagnosable right rear thumping noise on my (2009) MDX with Sport suspension. It is a mild thumping, not cracking, clanking,or clunking. Noise is heard even on the most mild pavement variations. Been to the dealer twice. They claim that all is normal. They can't hear it/findit/fix it. I drove an '09 MDX dealer loaner car and it makes the same noise. It seems to me to be an inherent flaw. I am bummed as I love the car but the noise is wicked obnoxious. How long can I last with it? I am not sure, but I know I will be back at the dealer again for another go at it. | |

| I have an 09 MDX and I cant seem to control the airflow out of the center dashboard vent - even when the fan is low it still shoots out. The only way to reduce it seems to be to change the Mode so no air comes through the front dashboard vents but thats really not an option. Anyone else have this issue? There should be a damper on this vent. | |
