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.

Great points rnoble. I couldn't have stood to something like this. I'd push it the whole way, till I get either a discount or get it removed.

bumbie, this has been reported by numerous 07 MDX owners, something that you have to contact the dealer with. I have not gotten a chance to do so but would do it when I have time.

Pulling

Hey all. I've had the 2007 MDX for a few months and really only have one complaint....It frequently pulls (in both directions), so much so it's almost dangerous.
I've had it into the dealership multiple times, they've checked the alignment, tire pressure etc but can't seem to find an answer. One possibility offered was that since I upgraded to the 19 inch wheels, the tires are more aggressive and the walls are smaller, making bumps and imperfections in the road more of an issue. However, I find if there is even the slightest imperfection in the road the steering wheel is almost jumping out of my hands. Anyone else experiencing this, especially with the 19" wheels? Any suggestions or ideas?

With 2,000 miles on my 07 MDX I also have this problem. The dealer was able to stop the car from pulling to the left or right but as you pointed out...the steering at highway speeds is dangerous and a ton of work to drive. I just drove from Chicago to Milwaukee at night with no wind and I am so bummed at how hard I had to work to keep the car going straight without constant correction. The steering reminds me of the power steering on the early 1970's american cars. I have no complaints about the MDX steering at the lower speeds around town. I think I am learning about what happens when you buy a "first year" release.

I don't own a MDX (but I am interested in it).
I would like to offer two guesses:
1) aggressive tires: some tires have more tendency to follow gaps and seams on the road. This is especially true for tires with wide center channels.
2) the new MDX might need a bit of toe-in to follow straight-line better. Usually 1 degree is normal and sufficient. Ask your dealer for the recommended setting from Acura.

Must be an alignment issue.. I have around 5000 miles on my 07', including about 2000 on the highway. Car is a joy to drive.

I have already put on 6,500 miles on mine and still find it a joy to drive!
