2002 Acura MDX review from North America
"Disappointment for the money spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission replaced two times (64,700 & 89,843 miles) - repairs were covered by dealer.
Now at 101K miles dealer wants to replace struts and stabilizer bars.
I live in VA, just discovered a 10/22/05 recall for front damper springs and they will replace struts at same time for cost of parts. Anyone done this?
General comments?
I purchased vehicle based on reputation. Very unhappy with reliability.
