Beware of rear suspension clunk/thumping

Bought a 2015 MDX w/ 33,000 miles on it last weekend. Noticed a clunking sound from rear suspension right away, mainly only at slow speeds on rough pavement, however very noticeable. I just dropped it back off at dealer last night. I was just told they need to replace the rear dampers as they are faulty. I have had a really good experience with dealer and am confident they will take care of it. Just want to raise awareness for any potential buyers of used 2014-2016 MDX. I was unaware when I bought the vehicle-acura is aware of the problem and issued a service bulletin 16-035 in a July 2016.

Not what I would expect from a $47k car

Suspension sucks! Clunky every time you hit a bump. Transmission is pretty weak. Shifts too many times.

Better Than My 2011 MDX, But Not Perfect

Purchased a 2020 Acura MDX in June 2020. While some features are better than my 2015 MDX, some are not. Gas mileage is about the same, approximately 20 mpg around town and 28 on the highway. Acura still recommends using 91 octane or higher fuel. Like my 2015 MDX, occasionally and without reason, the brake warning flashes; not a big issue, just annoying. The engine cutoff while idling is annoying, as well, although it is a fuel saving measure. The GPS is still poor. Honestly, a smart phone with a GPS app is far better. Info screens are not intuitive. This may be the last year of the current MDX design, so perhaps my nitpicks will be addressed in the re-design. Finally, the cargo area seems smaller, but still larger than others in its class. Overall, still a good vehicle, just not perfect . . . yet.

Beware of this car, ACURA NO MORE, NEVER AGAIN

5,000 miles on a AWD MDX and the car is falling apart. First a ln annoying ticking noise that suddenly got loader and is accompanied by a sqeek. At low speeds especially when turning into my driveway there is a knocking noise that sounds like a 20 year old car losing a ball joint. When i start the car there is a rumbling noise that comes and goes. And the newest problem is a very rough downshift when slowing down to a point that you get thrown into the steering wheel. This is my first Acura i have had 6 new hondas and i am saying BYE BYE to honda and Acura forever. Their cars got cheeper and cheeper every year and i dont mean in price but quality. Take your money elsewhere, dont buy the MDX
