Replying to: gregmdx (Nov 05, 2009 8:31 am) Well, the repairs have been made and the car is noticeably improved. Much quieter, though there are hints of thumping. I do not remain hopeful, however, based on my past experience. I fear the problem will return. We shall see... I wish you well with your MDX. Other than the thumping it has been a great car.
#1809 of 1816 '08 MDX Tech Package Multiple Error Warnings (VSA, ABS, SH-AWD) by pei4life Nov 17, 2009 (8:03 pm)
I have an 08 MDX Tech package. The car has 20,000 miles on it...it's been a good car so far. However, I recently received multiple warning messages on the console. There are three yellow warnings lights that come on while the car is in motion. The check VSA light is on, check ABS system warning is on, and check SH-AWD system warning are on. This is the first i've seen of these warnings. Also, it's was kinda hard to shift it from park to drive. Does anyone have any similar problems to this?   Update: Wife took the car to dealer today and had them look at it...dealer plugged in and did diagnostic check of it. He said it was something related to the multiple key memory system. Where if i used my key to unlock the doors...it would set to my seat and radio station settings. However, i noticed that we lost both of our settings a while back...but did not pay too much attention to it. This seems kinda bogus because it doesn't have anything to do with the previous warnings of ABS, VSA and SH-AWD. I want to resolve this before my warranty expires next year.   Any opinion about this would be helpful.   thanks
#1810 of 1816 2009 Acura MDX Tech pckg by bmmandm Nov 21, 2009 (8:50 am)
Hi everyone. This is driving me nuts (literally) and i need some input.   My vehicle has 7500 kms on it, just got it in July. OVer the course of the 7500, when i go over speed bumps, not all but some, i hear this horrendous screech scraping noise from under the front of my car. Everytime, i stopped the car and got out thinking something was dragging. The last time this happened, 3 weeks ago, when i was going over the bump and heard this, my car felt like it was going to seize, but then kept going.   The first service i took it into was two days after that. He said it was my ABS kicking in?!?! Is he kidding? He wouldn't even take my car in - he said i'd be wasting my time, they won't find anything. I've been driving for over 25 years and i've NEVER heard any of my abs systems making that noise. Besides, of the five times i heard it, it only tried to seize once.   I took it in to another Acura dealership and the service dept drove it, and hoisted it up. They couldnt' find anything. They kept me on record and said if Acura notifies them of anything, they'll call.   Has anyone heard of or experienced this? Does anyone know what this is?   Please help me.   Thank you Replies to this message: pei4life (Nov 21, 2009 9:53 am)

Replying to: bmmandm (Nov 21, 2009 8:50 am) I've noticed that also on my '08 MDX. It happens to me also when i go over speed bumps and I hear the screeching rotating noise. I just assumed that it was the engine or wheel moving while the car is sorta airborne. I don't think the noise happens if you let off the gas and just let it coast over the speed bump. If you are driving fast over the speed bump while accelerating...then I think the noise kicks in. I never thought to check it out...please let me know if you find anything out about that noise from your dealer.
#1812 of 1816 2007 MDX DVD HELP!!! by rbonis Nov 23, 2009 (4:26 am)
My son put some coins in the DVD player. Any tips on how to remove? If not would you expect this to be a major repair bill? Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 23, 2009 8:15 am)

Replying to: rbonis (Nov 23, 2009 4:26 am) Foreign objects stuck in the player usually require pulling the player to remove them.   A car stereo shop is probably cheaper than the dealer, but call around.   Or you may want to remove the bezel yourself and see if you can pull the player out. There's some links in the How to Remove a Stuck CD guide for d-i-y access to radios and players that may help.   Or maybe an owner here has done it?
#1815 of 1816 06 MDX - grinding noise less than 50 MPH by allinaa Nov 24, 2009 (8:56 pm)
Any ideas - it is intermittent sounds like a grind / humming- can't pinpoint it to any speed or situation. It sounds like it is trying to go into neutral but no loss of power or speed. Have extended warranty so any suggestions on helping them diagnose it? Much appreciated. Replies to this message: 67hat34c (Dec 01, 2009 1:01 pm)

Replying to: allinaa (Nov 24, 2009 8:56 pm) I am betting Torque converter. Honda/Acura has history of bad torque converters. Try first doing proper transmission fluid change. This means use honda only fluid and they have to change it 3 times in a row. Cant drain 100% out on a single change so you need multi changes.   DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO AAMCO TRANSMISSION SHOPS, TAKE MY WORD FOR THIS.
