Example complaints

“I have a 2001 MDX with rear subframe bushing bolts that are rusted out and disconnected from the body. The back end has been clunking. The rear subframe bolts that goes through the bushing has disconnected from the body from what looks like rusted out connectors or maybe the body itself.”
NHTSA complaint #11415349, filed 2021-05, 245,000 miles“I own a 2001 MDX (first year release) and we love it! The reason for my complaint is that when having routine service today at my Acura dealer (leith Acura in cary, nc), they noticed that one of the alloy wheels has a crack that appears to run across the back of one 'pillar' of the wheel and toward the front facing on both sides of that spoke or pilar. I've never had such a problem with any alloy wheel in 35 years of car ownership and wouldn't expect it particularly with a luxury vehicle such as the Acura MDX. The dealer would not offer any assistance other than to sell me a new wheel. …”
