Nice car let down by abysmal build quality

Pros: The handling, styling, seats, stereo, safety scores, headlights Cons: The touchpad sucks with Apple CarPlay. With the Acura systems it is fine. The Build Quality is SO bad. Acura should be ashamed. I have had to bring it back for misaligned trim pieces right after buying, and every time I drive it there are new squeaks, creaks, and rattles from the interior. It sounds like a 10 year old car going over bumps. "precision crafted" is a complete joke. Also the wireless charger is basically useless. I am so frustrated in the constant rattling and creaking of the interior I do not know if I will be able to keep it. Whoever is in charge of QAQC at the factory needs to be fired. Make sure you do a long test drive the exact vehicle you may be buying on rough roads with a keen ear and check all the panels and trim to make sure they are lined up right.

Sunroof won’t close all the way

We recently bought the 2024 MDX base advance . The car was used but certified through Acura. We noticed less than 24 hrs after buying the car that the sunroof wasn’t sealed. Air was coming in . Then we noticed water stains on the headliner. We took it back to the dealer and they said it was fixed . On the way home we realized it wasn’t fixed. The dealer is coming Monday to pick the car up from our home. They also offered “ to cancel the deal and refund my money”. We shall see. However, it’s a sharp looking and driving suv. We test drove many other brands and this was the over best in our opinion . The car could use a little more power. In sport mode it does move . It’s a solid feeling suv. Handles better than our old 2023 xc90 . It’s smoother too. If the sunroof isn’t fixed we are giving the car back.

My 5th MDX and the best yet

2023 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/A-Spec Package (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
26 of 27 people found this review helpful
The A Spec is a fine car that delivers in appeal, quality, functional use, sound system, technology and price. I know it's to be expected that cars improve each year, but this MDX is special. The seats are very comfortable, and the instruments and interior are well laid out. The car is quiet inside with minor road noise noted. The A Spec is about $4000 plus less than the advance and lacks some features the advance has but nothing I really need (Heated steering wheel, visual display on windshield, touch free rear opening hatch, etc.) I love the sporty look and the car is well designed. My wife has always said I drive a mom's car until this one. She likes it a lot! I am sure there are many fine mid-size SUV's and I have driven a few but I keep coming back to the MDX since I purchased my first one in 2002. This 2023 is nice improvement from my prior 2018 MDX. Very pleased over all.

Leased the 2023 MDX A spec, and only have 600 miles on it so far and am very pleased. I was somewhat wary of the infotainment setup due to the many bad reviews on YouTube about it, but I like it. Sure beats reaching up and tapping on a touch screen constantly. It takes a little getting used to but what doesn’t. I also like how the screen fits nicely with the dash and is not oversized. Loving everything about the vehicle thus far.

Driving and configuring my wife's new MDX… So far so good! Excellent finish and interior quality. The car feels solid and is very quiet inside. No rattles, no squeaks, the only abnormal sound I can hear is the jingling of the metal ring on the key fob laying in the door top pocket. Driving mode is easy to switch using large knob in the center console, no need to stop and drill into the menu options like on new Lexus RX. Sport mode eliminates any feelings of insufficient engine power (at expense of the gas mileage, that's for sure), no jerking transmission then either. With about 4000 miles on it, transmission feels silky smooth. The sound system is excellent! The infotainment system with its touchpad is fine - no finger smudges on the screen. BTW, the screen panel quality is way better than the one on new Lexus RX. High contrast, deep black, and no way to get sun glare anywhere near. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto – all work like a charm. Default Acura's navigation is actually not that far behind, giving the choice of seamlessly switching between at least 3 navigation systems at any time during the driving (Acura's, Apple/Google Maps, or Waze in my very modest setup). Engine stop/start is annoying, but there is a way to control it with the brake pedal pressure – light pressure prevents engine from shutting down. Not sure what those rich folks with $60k+ cars are complaining about gas mileage. It's not a city commuter's car. I'm seeing 26-27 mpg cruising on the highway. It doesn't require premium fuel, that's additional 20% fuel economy for you. Driver assist features are all good and very usable. I only don't get why would Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) need to be that sensitive and require periodic "proof of presence", literally makes me shake the steering wheel a bit every several minutes. I hope Acura will relax this "rule" with the future software update, …please. So far, squeaking brakes were the only complaint to the service department. They replaced rear pads and the squeaking gone.

39 of 43 people found this review helpful
First Acura in 30 years. My, how things change! I've got about 8000 miles on mine. Nice on the road on an 8 hour drive to Florida. It's certainly not the Corvette's or Mustang Bullitt I've owned in the past, but it goes as fast as I want and I'm not too gentle on it. (85-90 mph) Heck of a lot more comfortable then the other sports cars I've owned. Looks like a "MOM VAN" and the cops seem to miss it. I don't know but I'm pretty careful on the road. A couple of things I've noticed, throttle response in Normal mode. Big turbo lag. Be careful pulling out on a busy road. Sport mode is almost too responsive. Someone else mentioned gas mileage. I agree. For a 6 banger its awfully thirsty. That Bullitt did as well with an 8 cylinder and 150 more HP. Rear windshield wiper could be reversed. Why not turn it around and tuck it under the spoiler. Out of the way. Out of sight and a cleaner look. Console pockets in the front seating area. Plenty of room there for it. Drink holders aren't just for drinks anymore. I like to use Wazes and the car's GPS at the same time. Also use hand wipes regularly. Thats both cup holders, guess the drink goes between your legs! I haven't noticed the whine or vibrations others have described. I think they would have popped up by now. I've found it to be a solid car. My first SUV and I'm happy with the storage room in the back. Plenty of room for golf clubs and push cart. If you've had to give up the serious sports car due to age, (my issue) or you've started a family, need the room and don't want to give up a sports car, I think this is a good vehicle to look at. UPDATE: 8/15/23 Just over 16000 miles. I added the spare tire the last oil change. $500 I wonder why I had to spend for a spare on a car priced at over $70,000.00! (Type S) Other than some turbo lag the car runs flawlessly. Another thing I noticed I think Acura should address on every one of their vehicles is XM Travel to be added to the radio. I have it in my 2015 Ford F-350 and use it when I travel. It's nice information to have when you are approaching a storm front and can see the weather on radar. Finding fuel and seeing the prices is nice too. Not sure why that wasn't added. $5 a year!

The 22 and 23 base and tech has transmission issues. Turn off all electronics and listen for gear whining at about 30 mph. It is constant at 50 mph and does not go away. Acura says normal. This is from an engineer that checked it out. Search all forums and you will see how prevalent the issue is. This post may be taken down by Acura but for those of you who still purchase the mdx. Good luck if you want mechanical problems for there is no fix. I reported it to NHST and they have the same complaint too.

Horrible Experience with New 2023 MDX

I always wanted to purchase an Acura MDX. Finally, in September 2022, I purchased a 2023 brand new Acura MDX. Sadly within 3 months, the color on the passenger door started bubbling up. So took the car in and Acura repainted it. Then after 7 months of purchase, the backseat leather seat started peeling off. I do not even have passengers in the backseat that often - maybe 4 times since I bought it. So I took it back and am scheduled to replace the seat. My question is what happened to quality of these cars? I called Acura and Honda and asked for extension on my warranty because I plan to keep this car for a long time and that was denied. Acura offered me a $300 gift card!!!!!! The car was over $64,000 and all they offered is $300!! Basically, Acura does not stand behind their product. I asked to return the car but that period has passed. I consider this a joke and needles to say I do not recommend Honda or Acura at this point based on the response I am getting from them.

We had to drive about 200 miles to get the MDX type S we were looking for. We knew the type S did not come with a spare tire, so we thought we had the extra cost spare tire kit coming when we picked it up. Unfortunately the kit was and is on back order. Well the stars on the way home were not aligned in our favor and of all things we had a blowout.. Acura care sent a flatbed and by 10 o’clock the next day, Saturday, we had a new tire! We love the car, it’s unbelievably comfortable, sporty, and fun to drive unlike the GLS that we replaced. I ordered a spare tire, the required hoist, and jack from three different dealers, hoping I never have to make use!!🥴. Most of the articles I read indicated mileage even below the EPA estimates. Our short sample to this point have shown at least two or 3 miles per gallon better than anticipated. Hopefully that first night is not a sign of things to come!

Terrible Drive Train and Other Annoyances
Acura MDX No More, 12/20/2022
2023 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/Technology Package (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
89 of 102 people found this review helpful
We were initially very excited about this car. It ticked many of the boxes we needed for our family of five. I'll get right down to the issues. The drive train is jerky. The transmission doesn't release the gears quickly enough when you take your foot off the gas peddle. This feels like your car lurches forward or you are breaking when you release the gas. This isn't noticeable when on the highway so much as when driving in traffic. I had my car in service several times and the service department said this is due to the 10 speed transmission. I had one of their loaner MDX's for the day and that car drove the same way. It's awful. The air-conditioner can't cool the car on very hot days. I had the car in for testing and they said the air was blowing at the correct temp. I saw the gauges and it was the correct temp. The problem is, the cabin air wasn't cooling down. I've rented a suburban and expedition which are much larger than the MDX and they were able to cool the car down within a couple of blocks. My MDX doesn't cool down between locations 8 miles apart. Service said the air was blowing at the correct temp. I suspect the full sunroof lining wasn't able to insulate the car and the large black dashboard kept expelling heat from the summer sun. The breaks squeal. This is because of the metallic break pads. There is nothing they can do. Mercedes, BMW, Infiniti don't seem to have this issue. Service doesn't have a fix. The wireless charger will not work on the new iPhone 14. Acura is pointing the finger at Apple. Apple pointing the finger at Acura. The steering column groans when repositioning itself after the driver gets behind the wheel. Service said they are aware of this and it's the motor. Nothing they can do. Gas mileage is no where near where Acura said it should be. Over all, the car looks great. It's very roomy and comfortable. But all the other issues make it a terrible car to own. I'm trading mine in for an Infiniti. I'm tried of the issues with no resolution or compliancy because it's how it's designed.

This is my first Acura. "Love" the look, only "like" the car. At 1,500 miles my rear, right wheel sensor failed. Every light on the dash came on. Was told supply chain issues so can't get the replacement part for a month. Also, the car isn't extremely quiet. The tires are loud and road noise can be heard. Lastly, always had a problem with using my phone in the car. When I call out the other person gets echo sound. I've tried looking up how to remedy it but still no luck. Not the experience I expected for a $65k car.

So, I decided to purchase an Acura MDX 2023. Before I even made it back home, I noticed the panel was only partially attached to the driver's seat. I also noticed that the drive was a little jerky, but I chalked that up to the adaptive cruise. When I figured out how to drive on regular cruise; it did the same thing, constantly jerking. It is not a smooth ride at all. After a couple of days, I noticed the passenger's seat cover, yes, a cover, was unattached. The seat is leather, supposedly, but it has a clip on the left side to hold the cover down....smh. I also noticed the area right above the glove box, the leather is beginning to bubble. Also, around the hatch window on the outside, one gap is much larger than the other. The vehicle was returned to get these problems fixed. They fixed the seat, the gap is still around the window, they did nothing about the jerkiness, and the vehicle has to be returned about the bubbling leather.....RIDICULOUS!! This is a 56k vehicle, brand new; it should not have these problems. This tells you how much time and effort Acura/Honda puts into their vehicles. This will be my last Acura, and I will be trading it off as soon as I can. I would give it a negative rating if there was a choice.

Only thing I dislike is the touch pad...it takes a little time to get use to it, but it also has some redundant controls on the steering wheel. Read the manual or get a tutorial on internet. The things you get for the price that would cost $10 Grand more on a BMW, Audi or other luxury SUV's makes this package worth the crazy touchpad. I have driven this over 17,000 miles and that includes 2 trips to Illinois from AZ and back. It handles like a sedan in the tight turns of the mountains thru AZ and in Tucson area. Its not as quite as other luxury SUV's , road noise is apparent like most other Honda products. It's a great family SUV for those that want luxury, a ton of equipment and safety controls, with two things you have to decide on - a little less power, although the sound of the engine and exhaust are truly sports car orientated, and that touch pad.

I've driven a Toyota Corolla that’s smaller / less expensive and drives better, a Yukon and a Infiniti which are much larger than the MDX and they were much more smoother. My MDX isn’t performing like previous Acura vehicles. Very disappointing as this was my first brand new vehicle. The breaks squeal very loudly, and are spongy at times. There is nothing they can do. Mercedes, BMW, Infiniti don't seem to have this issue. Service doesn't have a fix. The wireless charger will not work on the new iPhone 14. Acura is pointing the finger at Apple.

Purchased a new 2024 MDX in March. Noticed immediately pinholes in the sunscreen/shade for the sunroof when picking it up from their detail shop for the paint protection film and tint. Several replacements later, it appears the sunscreen/shade is fixed. Unfortunately, during one of the attempts, we were told they ordered a new headliner and not sure what happened to the original headliner that was perfectly fine(must have been damaged when they were repairing the sunscreen)?? Fast forward and numerous headliners later, it looks like garbage. Acura told them to stop repairs/ no more headliners and try to massage out the ripples, which did not work. Was also told by the service manager earlier in this ordeal when he finally returned my call after requesting photos( I also copied the general manager on the email containing the photos because I was getting no response), I would find an issue with any of their new cars headliners on their lot. I told him I doubt that, and if thats the case, Acura is not a Luxury brand they claim to be and asked to exchange it for the same vehicle. He jumped right to that's a buyback and take it up with Acura.(My wife was present while on speaker phone for that conversation, taking notes). Dealership told us they are unable to repair and to take it up with Client Relations. Acura Client Relations didn't care that it looks terrible. They said we consider it "functional as intended" and would not respond when asked about the damage/ripples. The dealership did not have our back and did not advocate for us. Now, we are having to go through NCDS arbitration. It's too bad one repair caused damage to another item and could not be fixed. I remember the original conversation with the service advisor before it went in the first time. I asked if they could handle this repair and what if something is not right. He said we will keep working on it until it is fixed. Not true in this case. They are not taking responsibility for replacing the original headliner, which was perfectly fine. At this time, the Dealer has not stepped up to make this right. Be aware this vehicle is now showing water in the cargo area above the spare tire, this will lead to mold and mildew issues. I have scheduled it to get in to find out where it is coming in from. Vehicle has lots of rattling at dash board and rear door hatch. Vehicle jerks constantly while driving on the freeway. Even with auto start off, the vehicle has a bad delay when taking off from a stop. Bluetooth cuts out constantly when playing music through any apps, and it's not a phone issue, tried numerous phones. Have 4 other vehicles with Bluetooth and no issues and dealership can't figure it out. . overpriced Honda. Highly disappointed to say the least, and in my opinion I believe Acura's are junk.. I will ditch this vehicle once the factory warranty has run out.

Likes... Exterior styling. The best looking (in my opinion) midsize on the road today. A non turbo, years proven reliable, V6 engine. Very upscale interior for the money. The sound system is phenomenal!! Ranked and rated better than what 99% of the other vehicle manufacturers offer. City MPG's. I getting 22-23 in town. A pleasant surprise. Front seats are super comfortable. Super handling all wheel drive is just what it says. Way better than the Genesis, Lexus, Volvo, Lincoln or Mercedes midsize SUV I test drove. The BMW X5 was the only one that handled and cornered better than the MDX. Dislikes... Highway MPG's. I'm not getting anything better than 24-25.

My 5th Acura. 2nd MDX. Traded my 2017 Mdx 4 months ago for a new 2023. The improvements are great. Smooth acceleration. You don’t feel the shifts with 10 speed transmission. Very comfortable interior, love ergonomics can’t beat the comfort. My only miniscule gripe is that the turn signal is noisy. Being that this is my 5th new acura since 2001 I’m an Acura fan. Every model change has been an improvement in my opinion. From my experience in driving 25-30k miles per year…and I keep my cars until at least 125k in miles or 5-6 years, I can say…tried, tested and proven, you can’t beat the acura reliabilty.

Took delivery on a '23 MDX AWD Technology a couple of months ago. Impressive fit and finish and quality of materials. Sound system is outstanding. The SH-AWD torque vectoring system gives this 4600 pound SUV sports car handling. The 8 year/ 100,000 mile AcuraCare extended warranty deserves a look. There are some negatives. The infotainment system has a steep learning curve and the touch pad is ok but I would have preferred a touch screen. Mostly city driving mpg is about 17 so far which is far less the EPAs 19 mpg. For the money, the MDX is tough to beat. Update.....It's been 7 months since I took delivery. Still love the MDX, zero problems, mpg still about 17 mpg. Great purchase! One year later, it's still a great purchase. Buy one with confidence. Two years later, no issues, no problems, very happy with the MDX

Recently bought the Type S…. Got $5k off given the 2025 is around the corner. This is an excellent driving SUV sans the transmission. Coming to a stop the downshifting is terrible. Can’t believe after so many versions Honda/Acura can’t figure out how to make a decent transmission. Fit/finish of the interior is excellent. Aside from the crap transmission, the Type S blows away the Lexus F sport RX in every way.

I upgraded from a Honda Pilot Elite AWD to this Acura MDX AWD. The upgrade is noticeable and wonderful. I really like the HUD, flexible outside mirrors, cooling seats, the fact that when I restart the engine, the previously set ventilated seats is still on, the impressive Expresso leather seats, the beautiful accent colors that appear on the front doors and the display console.

I traded in my 2016 Volvo XC 90 for the 2023 MDX. What a mistake. The ride is clunky. It feels like going from driving a sports car to driving a truck. The turn radius is poor, the car accelerates sometimes when my foot is my even on the gas pedal. There are weird noises that sound like something fell off and is rolling around. Super disappointed. This will be my last Acura. But since I just bought it I will have to drive it for another 8 years or so. I do NOT recommend.

Update: The car is now just over a year old and has about 12K miles on it - about half of them are road trips, the other half is the local driving. I cannot improve the rating for the following reasons: - this car is oxymoron: it says it has a "tech" package but the tech is what frustrates the most about this car. The touchpad is completely unusable and the overall infotainment system just does not work. - fuel economy is just ridicules - we are averaging 13-15 on mixed city/highway (ok, 80% city) and 20-22 on a highway. Life time average is 17 and remember, half of the miles is highway. And, I do use premium. On a positive side - no mechanical issues so far - really hope it remains this way - 3-4 people are comfortable on the long road trips In conclusion, retrospectively, I would not buy this car. We've just bought Tesla Model Y LR - not only it was 10K cheaper (or ~20K if you qualify for the federal rebate and/or have state incentives) but also the way it drives, the acceleration, the tech are simply incomparable (leave alone the fuel economy). __________________________________________________________________________ I have been owning the car only for a month/600 miles and really hope I'll get to like it more as time goes but so far I'm not impressed to say the least (I'll update my review as the time goes). Starting with the purchase experience: the communication with the sales person and the experience at the dealership was good but I waited for the car for 3 months. Ok, that was such time but Acura delayed the build date twice (it was supposed to be 2 months). This also could have been OK but during this extra month Acura bumped the MSRP by $500 that I had to absorb. $500 is not much comparing to the price of the vehicle but I think it's unfair. About the car... The good: 1. The car handles well. The steering is precise. The suspension is tight enough for the car to handle sharp turns effortlessly, yet it smooths the road imperfections well. 2. Up to 4 people can ride quite comfortably and have fair space for luggage. The passengers of the second row are enjoying the panoramic sunroof (I have not yet experienced the second row). The "so-so": 1. The acceleration leaves a lot to be desired. The car is new so I'm not stepping on the pedal hard (to let it break-in properly) but even with a lighter touch I would expect a better acceleration. 2. The leather on the seats and even on the steering wheel has some wrinkles. I hope it's just cosmetics (that I can live with) and would not affect the durability. In any case, I would expect a better interior build quality from a $60K car. The bad: 1. It's noisy inside. Sometimes very noisy. I would not expect such level of noise from a $60K car. Though I think it's mostly the tires and not so much the engine but still, it looks like the noise insulation is lacking or insufficient. 2. The milage. Is it supposed to be 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving? I'm getting 17 at best. In the city, where the milage is supposed to be 19 I'm getting 15. Again, the car is new and I hope the milage would improve over time but I don't see it be at the official specs ever. And yes, I'm using premium. 3. The back-up camera is a joke and also the radars are not very helpful - the starts beeping as crazy when there is still a foot from the wall. It's the "tech" package that I would expect to have a 360 camera. 4. Similarly, for a hands free tailgate access you need to upgrade to A-spec. Seriously? A $10K cheaper Mazda CX-9 has this feature. The ugly: The touch pad is unusable, especially with android auto. Either it's something wrong with my fingers or with this pad but it simply does not react on me properly. I'll ask somebody else to use it to see if it's only my problem before going to the dealer and ask to deal with it but at the moment this pad is not only the source of the major announce but also makes the driving dangerous when it has to be used while moving.

My first foray into the Acura brand has been well….disappointing. After dealing with a transmission defect 950 miles into owning my MDX, Acura was unable to provide a timely solution. Shame on me: I traded it in for another MDX. Let’s see how this one works out. It’s comfortable and has attractive styling, but I’m unsure how durable the drivetrain will be; particularly the jerky and busy ten speed automatic transmission. The infotainment screen is wasted on that illogical track pad. In my book the MDX is…..half-baked.
Nice ride, but needs more.

I’ve had my MDX Type S Advance for 3 weeks now. Impressions: 1. Great sound system!!!! 2. Already in the shop for warranty work. I’m annoyed with that. 3. Fun to drive, very comfortable. 4. Interior is TOO LOUD. This is supposed to be a premium product, built for long, comfortable drives. My 10 year old pickup is just as quiet. Disappointing. 5. The infotainment system took a few minutes to figure out. It works just fine. Make sure you drive the new Honda Pilot before buying this vehicle.

I bought the 2023 MDX AWD Tech about a month ago and that car has 500 miles on it… the wind noise at several speeds are terrible !!!! At the beginning we did not hear it and as we drove more the noise is getting louder and louder … I don’t recommend.. my 2016 MDX I traded is better and more quite than the 2023 model. This was a big mistake and I regret it big time ….

Nice car with a screeching and embarrassing brake noise that they won’t fix as they stated that there is nothing they can do as the new engineers changed the materials of the rotors and brakes which provide a better performance however they make a terrible noise every time I push the brakes. I regret changing to Acura. Took it the dealer multiple times and called corporate and they stated that the screeching noise is part of the car’s characteristic. A technician even tried to gaslight me and state that the screeching noise makes the car sound cool. So disappointed I purchased this car. Will soon seek a new and better brand.

Have now owned 2024 MDX Type S Advanced for 3 months. Love the drive train. The engine leaves the line in traffic smooth and effortless but when needed the turbo changes the personality with a growl and snap. Getting used to the infotainment system and like it better than the one in my 2021 Lexus RTX. Interior is comfortable and roomy with mid level luxury. The seat coolers are marginal at best and the A/C could use more coolant. Overall, very pleased with purchase and would recommend.

Lags 1-2 seconds intermittently from a stop. Took delivery in June and have reported the issue times since then to both the dealership and Acura. Have almost been in several accidents when making a left turn from a stop because of the delay. Dealership says there is no issue and “it’s just the way it’s supposed to run.” Driver beware!

2023 mdx type s Loud engine, and not a good loud. Sounds like the engine has no oil in it and everything's just rubbing together, this is at idle If your driver door isn't fully closed the mdx will let you put it in drive, drive for half a second then slam you into park. Why let you put it in drive!?!?! The windshield wipers are so low on the shield that they don't stay warm, so driving in snow and ice becomes hazardous as the wipers constantly freeze up if not in use. Body lines are garbage. The gaps between my doors and quarters are uneven and so large a stick of ice managed to form in-between. The gap doesn't even look like it could be fixed, the joining panels are slightly different shapes. First new car and boy is it disappointing. Acura has turned into a North American car producer. Caring more about massage seats and high-tech nonsense then quality of cars

High pitch whining noise that Acura calls NORMAL

Owned 2 4th Gen MDX’s and each one have a different set of issues. First one is 2022 MDX Aspec which had issues with acceleration and weird vibration in the gas pedal. Acura did not cared to look into the issue and simply ruled out saying it’s normal. Since I could drive the car with the vibration in the gas pedal, traded in Aspec for 2023 MDX Type S Advance hoping that the Type S engine design is different and I’ll not have any weird issues. But, I was completely wrong. My 2023 Type S Advance have multiple issues - 1) high pitch whining noise which triggers at 45mph. This happens only when i slightly press the gas pedal to maintain the speed. Take the foot off the gas pedal and the noise stops. Again, feather the gas pedal, it comes back. My dealer did not even attempt to identify the problem but instead he test drove other type s in the lot which was having similar noise but barely noticeable while it’s pretty loud and annoying in my car. Opened a case with Acura and they took my dealership technicians word and ruled it as a normal characteristic of the car… which is BS! Many other MDX owners are experiencing same issue and Acura is not bothering to look into the issue at all. 2) Rattle noise from the cluster/HUD part of dashboard. My dealer tried to fix it but it just doesn’t go away. Type S Advance is the most expensive and sort of flagship vehicle for Acura. But, Acura decided to screw it up and do nothing about the issues that customers are having and simply saying it’s normal. Seems like Acura knows these issues and yet released a faulty product into the market and bagging the money. If Acura doesn’t take these issues into consideration and fix them, this will be my last Acura product and spread the word to my family and friends who are in the market for a new car and make sure they buy a better reliable car other than Acura who pays attention to customer issues and value them.

We bought the 2023 MDX brand new because we liked the upgraded body style. If we had known the MDX was a piece of crap, we would’ve left it on the lot. The first day of purchase, the seat panel came off. Then a few days later, the seat clips came off. Then we noticed part of the dash leather was beginning to bubble. We also noticed the back hatch was not centered. As the days went on, we began to notice how jerky the drive- train was. We thought it was only when it was on regular cruise, but it jerks constantly. We let Hall Acura know about these problems, especially about the jerkiness. They came up with many excuses and never fixed the problem. They did not like our responses and asked us to go to another dealership…. so much for customer service.

I love Acura’s and will mostly likely only continue to buy them. I traded in my 2019 RDX aspec for the 2023 MDX Aspec bc i needed more space as my 3 kids are growing. It’s the perfect size without being too big. The overall new design is a head turner.

The 2023 Acura MDX is an impressive luxury SUV that I have been enjoying owning for the past few months. It has many great features that make it a pleasure to drive and ride in. Here are some of the pros and cons of owning this vehicle: Pros: Comfort: The 2023 Acura MDX has a spacious and comfortable interior that offers plenty of room for passengers. The seats are upholstered in leather, and the front seats are heated, making it easy to ride in even in cold weather. Performance: The V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission work together seamlessly to provide smooth acceleration and responsive handling. The car also has a new drive mode selector that allows me to switch between different driving modes depending on the situation. Technology: The MDX has a variety of advanced technology features, including a large infotainment display, a digital instrument cluster, and a head-up display. The car also has a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D sound system and wireless phone charging. Cons: Price: The 2023 Acura MDX is a luxury SUV, and as such, it comes with a high price tag. While I believe it is worth the investment, it may not be a feasible option for everyone. Fuel Economy: Despite its impressive performance, the MDX's fuel economy is not as efficient as some of its competitors. It has an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway, which may not be ideal for those who prioritize fuel efficiency. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase of the 2023 Acura MDX. Its comfort, performance, and technology features make it a great option for those who want a luxurious and enjoyable driving experience. However, its high price tag and fuel economy should also be taken into consideration before making a decision. If you are interested in the casino you can visit the site casino3ab.fun

My first SUV, second Acura. The Type S Advanced is top of the line, the extras are amazing. Very spacious, larger than I am used to. Everyone that has been in it, front seat or back agree the ride, comfort, accessories are outstanding. Lots of settings fron drive modes to massaging seats. In Sport+ the car shows off the turbo Type S powerplant. Great combination with the SH/AWD - a very secure, easy to handle package. I look forward to many miles with this Acura.

Let’s say we’re driving across south central New Mexico on the to visit my grandchildren in Arizona. We experience a flat tire and no one with any assistance available. What do we do?!? Also, the very annoying constant downshifting is disconcerting. What would cause one to think that the crackerjack Honda engineers wouldn’t have thought this out. Don’t know of any other cars who have this very annoying and hidden extra included in their “extras?”

Bought a 2024 Advanced in September of 2023 and 12k later in March of 2024 I traded it. Got a 2023 Aviator Black Label $10k under msrp. The MDX is so underwhelming in performance and the mpg you get for being slow is terrible. The Aviator crushes the MDX in every way, 28 speakers Rebel sound is better and I didn’t think that was possibly, 30 position seats way comfortable but it gets the same mpg the MDX does…. BUT it has 400 hp and 415 trq on 275 22”wheels. MDX really wants premium badly and the Aviator loses 5% of its performance if you run 87 octane. BTW…Lincoln’s are WAY too expensive for what it is. $10k off their sticker is a good starting point. They’re delusional in who they think they are.

I am very disappointed in my purchase. Should have stayed with Lexus. The touch pad is horrible. For example, while trying to add a favorite to my Sirius radio, nothing but problems. Watched the tutorial on how to add. Very upfront simple. Click on Sirius, find a station to add to favorites. Except the "Add to Favorites" line that shows on the tutorial does not come up and there is no direction on how to make it appear. This is one of many problems. The 25 minute tutorial they give when picking up the car is useless you have a photographic memory. Be prepared to spend multiple hours sitting in the driveway trying to figure things out. Too many buttons and switches that do multiple things depending on the mode you are in. If I could turn the clock back 3 weeks, I would not buy this car again. Now I stuck with a $60,000 car that is more than difficult to figure out.

I currently drive a 2016 Acura MDX, and it’s been a great car. I test drove a 2024 model. Handling is good, comfort is good. I did not like the touchpad interface for the infotainment system. I live in Texas, so ventilated seats are a must on a new car. To get them on the MDX, you must get their top-level trim, which adds about $15k over the base model. I just didn’t feel it was worth the money compared to the competition.

The Acura MDX is a quality, well built, luxury SUV. I love the power while maintaining good gas milage. It is appointed very nicely. And the icing on the cake is that it can burn regular gasoline (87 Octane).

First of all the car is very comfortable and drives great. no real issues with that and also fun to drive. Now for my issues #1 is the pad for the screen. I hate that pad and how difficult it is to get things to move on the screen and when typing for a address always hitting wrong buttons. #2 is how low the roof is and when i try to get in i am constantly hitting my head and i am not tall at all only 5'7 but i have to bend in then slide in and its aggravating. #3 is in town gas mileage could be a bit better. I have never really gone on a far hwy trip yet so i will check that out and see but in town gas is terrible! #4 is a smaller detail but to me the wind noise or noise from outside could be better and not as loud inside especially for a car that was over 70K Other then that its our first Acura but could be our last also!

we love our 24 mdx a spec awd. Drive nicely and sits comfortably. Plenty of space and enough for small family with big cargo and available for 3rd row passengers occasionally. Infotaiment system isn't too bad, we use car play. quiet, not super but ok. Seat feels nice. Transmission is good for passengers. Doesn't get annoyed by bumps. The black exterior looks amazing especially the front end. One downside so far is the car smell that is really heavy and takes long time to get rid of. We even park outside to get sun exposure. Mileage isn't good, as expected, its ok.
