Have 14 MDX/Tech 9 mo. Complaining since inception #1 Driver's windows rattle lowered a few inches #2 intermittent motor noise from behind dash with recent 3 second**Steering Wheel Lockup**. Dealer duplicated motor noise on 4th visit. Corporate tech advised dealer "they're aware of "issue" with steering motor, but don't have any solution at this time". Dealer advised car "normal" and I should pick it up!! Problem without solution=no repair? What could happen if the steering wheel locks up again? If you have this problem Please file your complaint immediately with National Highway Safety Administration 888-327-4236. BTW dealer said rattle windows is as per Acura design. Really? More than two years into the lease I became aware through a blog that there was a service bulletin sent to all Acura service centers. Neither of the Acura dealers that I visited 10 times to fix the noise alerted me that there was a fix. When I made an appointment to have 10 plastic clips that secure the plastic shroud under the hood I was given a very hard time before they fixed the problem explaining to me that it was not s recall! WORST CONSUMER RELATIONS THST I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED ANYWHERE! Lexus or Toyota here I come!

Still Disappointed With My 2014 MDX

This is an update to my previous reviews of my 2014 MDX. I now have 65K miles on my vehicle, but I've never had a vehicle with more problems in my life. It's a good thing I bought the extended warranty, but it's still a pain to have to deal with constant problems. In my last review I wrote that I took my vehicle in to fix the stuttering at acceleration and it took two visits before they could diagnose the problem, which was a software bug. Acura engineering was addressing the bug, so the temporary fix was to replace the transmission fluid, which did work. However, it's now almost 2 years later and Acura has not completed the software fix, so I had to have the transmission fluid replaced again. To make things worse, the Acura Service manage told me the MDX transmission is no longer the same as in my model year (and they're changing again), so it's doubtful that this transmission issue will ever be resolved. Additionally, the vehicle has issues with the steering wheel grinding when it retracts, the trunk release is still intermittent, the navigation system send me to restaurants on the east coast even though I live in California, blah, blah, blah. I can't wait to get rid of this vehicle, and I'll never buy an Acura or Honda again.

TOO MANY DEFECTS IN 1ST YEAR

14k miles on AWD Tech pkg. Have had in shop a total of 26 days. Brake warning comes on with no traffic in front (Acura says to just turn it off !!). Has occurred when at stoplight, door chime doesn't work, steering column had to be replaced. Now waiting for new electrical module to see if it will solve issues. Navigation system not user friendly when trying to set up. Way too many defects for a $50k car. This car has fallen into lemon territory and will be hard-pressed to get another one.

I would steer clear of this redesigned MDX. I looked at a few different Suv's before purchasing my "New "MDX". Was thrilled to have my first ACURA. What a rattle trap it has become. Noises from the front to back. Engine has strange noises. Interior trim coming loose. Made an appointment with the purchasing dealer only to have them tell me it needed tires.(21,000 miles) and alignment. Could not find the noises. Said if I came back and purchased a set of new tires $1300.00 they would look at it some more. Talked to Acura about this and they said it was a dealer issue and I would have to take care of it by working it out with the dealer. What happened to my warranty?? No more Acura's for me. Update : I have attempted to trade this vehicle but cannot reach any kind of fair trade, these MDX do not have good resale value due to the transmission! Problems and rattles.

Have put first 650 miles on 2014 MDX AWD Tech...coming from 2010 SRX...lots of fun to drive, seats very comfortable, but, front edge of driver seat won't tilt forward, so it may be tougher for short legs. Acceleration is smooth and steering feel is excellent...drove the RX too but, MDX sportier handling much more fun...very roomy 2nd seat with new push button slide ...cargo area gives me all I need. Having only 2 option packages from Base forces losing desirable options like heated rear seats, folding rear view mirrors, remote start, parking sensors, better insulation, better leather, etc without paying $8K more for Advance pkg and then you get 16.2 in DVD screen, 22.8 mpg on first tank.
