There is a problem with the passenger front windshield. It's blurry along the edge and hard to look out especially to check for on coming traffic from the right side. Brought it in to the dealership, the district manager checked it, and noted all the other 2018's have the same issue, but said nothing could be done. It is a hazard to drive and see properly out that window. There service department took photos and agreed there is a problem. Now I am stuck driving this car for the next 3 years knowing that an accident could happen due to the defect that they won't correct.

Getting out of 1st is the worst!

This car is beautiful- it rides smoothly has a lot of awesome standard technology BUT accelerating is awful! It is super slow coming out of first gear & that alone is a deal breaker for me. The other thing I am not crazy about is the touch screen climate control. It takes your eyes off the road as you try to adjust the temp b/c there are several touches to move the temp.

DANGER/Serious transmission problems

This car has a very serious problem of hesitating and when on a freeway changing lanes or getting onto a freeway it is very serious. It won't go when accelerating. It jerks from a stop all too often. Now I must take it into Acura because it isn't shifting into second gear going up our hill. Not a very big hill either. Too much transmission problems and this has been a problem with this car for years. I read since 2005. If it can't be fixed a redesign of the car is a necessity. TOO DANGEROUS.

Sluggish and Noisy

Car is slow and jerky in accelerating from 1st to 2nd gear. Is also extremely noisy at highway speed in above normal windy conditions. A clanking sound from underneath engine is quite common. Dealers reinforced sound deadening strips around doors and windows but noise can still be heard. Would not recommend this car.

I owned a 2009 MDX which I bought brand new and loved it for 12 yrs. Wanted to get into a newer one and purchased a used 2018 MDX FWD. I soon realized what others were talking about with the blurry windshield. It’s awful! It’s blurry around the entire perimeter of the windshield, but is most noticeable on both the left and right sides so making a turn gives you an uneasy feeling of not knowing just how close you are to a corner or possibly a person standing there. The worst is driving around a parking lot looking for a spot. Full on nausea can take over and a headache too. I was so upset by this and even more so when I found out from the dealership that all the MDX’s have this issue because it’s the way it’s designed. So I held on to the car not wanting to take a loss and hoped I could get used to the problem. I gave it 6 months and traded it in for a 2019 RDX which I love. So please, if you are considering a 2017 MDX or newer, really see if you can handle the design of the blurriness around the perimeter of the windshield.
