Used 2017 Acura MDX SUV Consumer Reviews
Is this really a Honda
Before you buy this car, try the electronic system with the caveats below I have been a loyal buyer of Honda cars for years. However this will be my last purchase from them. I have an 2017 MDX. The GPS and entertainment system is unusable. Don't take my word for it try it before you think about a purchase. GPS does not work- If you try take a different turn then directed on the route, most GPS is will recalculate and redirect you. Not this system. They have made a design change where the GPS will actually direct you off the road. Apparently my dealer tells me that they know about the problem for a long time and hoping for a fix. The car does not allow you to cancel the route as you are driving. The voice activated commands absent do not work. Dealer says they know about this. They tell you not to use the voice activated system. The dealer tells me that the MDX system is not entertainment compatible with iPhone (somewhat odd given their popularity).

This is not a luxury car. Tech doesn’t work
I owned a Toyota sequoia prior to buying Acura. The handling of the car is excellent, especially cornering. However, the technology is half-baked. Whenever I am going from higher ground to lower ground the collision avoidance system kicks in. The collision system even kicks in when I make a turn and there is another car making a turn from the opposite side. The memory seat systems and folding mirrors works sometimes and sometimes not. Very frustrating! The Aha audio and Pandora doesn’t work. Replying to text through the entertainment system doesn’t work either. It is as if the manufacturers never tested the car! I am definitely going back to Toyota or Lexus. Very disappointed. I called acura in car tech and they always blame Apple. what a shame!!!
Nice ride but cheap backup camera
This car has a surprisingly blurry backup camera. Taken back for adjustment/replacement and the tech said "diagnostics" says its working fine. I asked them to use their eyeballs and look at the image and tell me its ok. They neither agreed or disagreed except to say they will replace it as a courtesy and if the camera is the same, there is nothing they can do since its an Acura issued camera. Well, it was replaced and it looks just as bad. I am relying on good old fashion eyeballs to back this car into parking. Very disappointed and frankly surprised that Acura would install such a "behind the times" old technology blurry camera from another decade into this high end car. I have had other cars that cost less and their cameras are far more superior and way sharper then this one. Fix the problem or recall it Acura!!! Its dangerous to rely on your blurry camera to back up. Its a lawsuit waiting to happen. Also, for this caliber of car, the steering wheel feels like hollow plastic, maneuvering with it takes some adjustment. It feels smaller then the car's handling. And it feels plastic-ky to the touch even though its wrapped with leather or pleather.
