2003 Acura MDX Base review from North America
"Wish I would have researched this rig instead of trusting the MFG name"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake clunk / thud noise. MFG says this is a "feature".
Gas tank slosh noise. Loudest I've heard in a vehicle in probably 20 years.
Wiper motor whine.
General comments?
Research this vehicle before you buy. For the money this vehicle will make you feel like you got ripped off every time you experience and oddity or a "feature" as MFG calls them. The brake noise they claim cannot be fixed and is part of the design (space in between the pads and caliper to account for expansion due to heat). I know of no other car that clunks at every stop. You will not notice this "feature" until you've gone at least 1000 miles. Research it first before spending all the money for this rig.
