“I have a multiple clunking sounds that occur on every bump or when driving on irough surfaces!!!! I have taken the MDX in several times and the bushings are good on the tie rods etc..I am now replacing the tires again due to excessive wear in a short period of time!! I just read about a strut recall to day on the internet.. I never recieved any notice... This problem has been ongoing for a year!! I thought it was just the front undercarriage guard that has a crack in it flexing, making the noise😬.”
NHTSA complaint #10967029, filed 2017-03, 170,000 miles“I purchased a 07 Acura MDX 1 month ago with 115,500 miles and got the extended power train warranty. Hall nissan pulled the vehicle off hall Acura's lot. They printed out a receipt from all the work Acura did before I bought the car, and ensured me nothing was wrong with it that it went through a 150 point inspection. I took it to Acura 2.5 weeks after I bought it because the check engine light came on and a tranny code popped up. They diagnosed the car and found $7,000 worth of malfunctioning equipment. …”
NHTSA complaint #10837170, filed 2016-02, 115,700 miles“The electronic suspension on our 07 MDX is an extra paid option, we did not buy new but we still paid for that option as it increases value new or used... The rear dampers in ours are leaking and for a set to replace costs at least $1000 in parts and then you have to pay labor. This is a premium brand, but it is not an exotic... Not sure why an Acura ads suspension part that probably costs them $50 to make, costs the consumer (aka the ppl who keep Acura in business) $500+ each. …”
NHTSA complaint #10668267, filed 2014-12, 130,000 miles“I am having issues with a leaking shock on the rear of my Acura MDX sport. The shock is leaking, after research online this is a common issue for this model and I feel is a design flaw.”
NHTSA complaint #10604488, filed 2014-06, 75,000 miles“Driver side strut broke, took to dealer multiple times to diagnose. Independent frame shop diagnosed within 10 minutes of being there. Come to find out from new service advisor that previous advisor did document issue I was complaining about in their system. Smells like a cover up to me. Been chasing this problem for the better part of 2 years now with the dealer. Many other documented situations similar to mine online as well. Please look into this issue. With the dealer's participation this fix will cost me $1500 to repair and my car is still under warranty. …”
