“Mdx with 8000 miles on it makes a lout thump noise coming front the rear suspension. Had dealer check but said there is nothing wrong and everything appears correct. Issue has gotten louder. After looking online for similar issues this appears to be common on all MDX cars from 2014 on and appears to be a design flaw. Not sure how this relates to the safety of the vehicle with regards to the suspension potentially collapsing etc.”
