There are two choices on the intermitent wiper setting(speed sensitive and manual). I have tried both settings and don't notice any difference. I assumed the speed sensitive setting was the same as rain sensing wipers I have had on other vechiles. Rain sensing wipers work great and vary the wiper speed according to the amount of rain hitting the windshield. How is the speed sensitive setting on the 07 MDX supposed to function?

Speed sensitive works differently than rain sensitive. With speed sensitive, your wiper speed varies according to the speed of you vehicle. An easy way to notice that is if you come to a stop on a red light, you wipers will slow down to once every few seconds. Once your vehicle increases speed (I think I read over 10 mph in the manual), the wipers will pick up speed.
I would have liked them to be rain sensitive as that would have automatically taken care of the speed - not sure why acura did it this way.

I have a Honda Pilot (am looking into the new MDX) and it makes the same noise, always after refueling with a full fuel tank. It's got to be the gas tank.

That definitely does not sound like standard equipment, can you show us a picture? Anyone else w/ an '07 have this light? Do you have lo-jack or other non-factory alarms?

That looks strange. Did you ask your dealership about it?

That light looks aftermarket installed. Please let us know what it is when you find out. Way too weird!

Thanks, everyone for your input. I called the dealership today. They said they did a dealer trade to get the color/packages I wanted and that the other dealership they got it from puts in an ignition kill system as a standard thing, but that it wouldn't be activated unless I paid for that. Why would a dealership put any more money into a car than they had to? I find that hard to believe, but it's a little late to argue the point and I don't think I can take it out without leaving two little holes.
Why they had to mess with a perfectly fine car, I don't know. Just wished I had questioned it at the point of sale, but honestly I didn't notice it until I got home...
Oh yeah, and I found an empty Hostess doughnut wrapper in the little passenger storage compartment. Nice.

I think I'd at least cut the wires so the useless light doesn't keep staring at you, that'd drive me nuts!

We have a 2002 MDX which we love - and are looking at the 2007 - which is pretty cool. I was reading the forum and saw your note. Couple of comments. I don't believe the kill switch story. You should speak directly with the dealer that installed the light to get some paperwork verification - that will straighten out the story quickly. And you purchased the car NEW, so the dealer that you purchased it from is responsible to make it as new - including removing the light and all the wires and replacing the panel with the holes. Used cars are a different story, but new is new - and the item was not on the accessory list so it needs to go away - by law. Next step id to Acura corporate. Believe me, you can have it all takencare of, you just need to be firm. Good luck! Great cars - and for the most part - good dealers.
