#1757 of 1815 MDX Thumping by stinger3 Aug 06, 2009 (11:03 am)
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 also took out another MDX and it had the same noise characteristic. Just a really annoying thud type noise going over sharper bumps. If you find a solution Please let me know!!!

#1759 of 1815 Contolling AC out of Center Vent by smilsom Aug 06, 2009 (11:13 am)
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.

Replying to: smilsom (Aug 06, 2009 11:10 am) I can't characterize what I had as a thumping, but my '08 MDX madde cliccking or tapping sounds that I belieeve were coming when the car was switching from 2-wheel to all-wheel and vice versa. I had the bushings changed twice. The ddealer referred to them as "compliaance bushings". The sound has gone away, but now I have a high frequencyy vibration, more llike a buzz, when I get to 70 mph.

Replying to: smilsom (Aug 06, 2009 11:10 am) Picked the car up again and it still makes the same noise - but still only on the right rear wheel/shock. Seems as if it is the damper but Acura dudes say everything is tight and shocks are not leaking. I am going to test a new 09 MDX and compare. No matter what, it is a terrible racket and not something that should be found on a car of this caliber. If this noise continues it is going to drive me nuts. Best of luck to you to solve your issue.

Replying to: jyao888 (Jul 14, 2009 1:21 pm) I don't think it is normal. My 09 MDX produces very quiet wind noise. Hope you can find a cure. Replies to this message: qali (Aug 20, 2009 11:54 am) topoff (Aug 20, 2009 2:34 pm) topoff (Sep 29, 2009 7:03 pm) qali (Sep 30, 2009 4:42 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: stinger3 (Aug 09, 2009 7:19 pm) Thanks. I take it in next week for an oil change. Will have it checked out for the buzz. I agree that a car of this caliber should not have all the issues I have experienced. Very disappointing. I have had it in the shop about six times for various minor problems.

Replying to: upstatedoc (Jul 27, 2009 7:44 am) Update on "sticky shifter" Took it to Honda because Acura is an hour away, they took the center console apart and found the shifter cable was corroided on both ends, lubed it up and will be ready by the end of the day, no parts just labor, $85.

Replying to: steve306 (Aug 16, 2009 4:52 pm) What year is your MDX? Mine is an '04, see message #1765.
