MDX owners - check your bumper molding where the bumper molding meets the headlights. You will see a gap or poorly molded bumper.
Braking - from Park to Driving and braking for the first time. You will hear a clicking sound. Very annoying!
MDX - Over priced for below than average parts used in this vehicle. Very disappointed with Honda/Acura.
What do you expect - the MDX is built in North America (Alliston, Ontario Canada).
Dealers - Are Honda/Acura dealers getting too arrogant!!!
That clicking noise can be fixed at your local dealership under warranty. They will replace the rear brake shims that compensate for extra space between the brake pad and where they sit in the caliper mounting bracket. ITS NOT A BIG PROBLEM!
I've had nothing but problems with the 2002 Acura MDX.
I had to get the transmission fixed (of course) warranty covered that, navigation system had to be rebooted also.
Here are the other things that were not covered: rearview mirror broke (plastic piece) ; the second row seat release broke; dash light assembly burned out on the center stack; the light in the middle row dropped out of the headliner; the battery cable burned out; the passenger A/C vent broke (wife fixed that) and to top all that off rodents like to eat the wiring. All of these bills were a minimum $300 dollars each.
I never heard of all these problems with Honda/Acura. I am very disappointed. We bought this vehicle with hopes of reliability and due to its high rating. SUV has only 68,000 miles. My friend bought one off warranty with 100k plus miles. His transmission cost over $4200. We don't even mention our money pits now... the subject is now taboo! I would never recommend this vehicle to an enemy, much less a friend.
