2005 Certified Acura MDX Touring NAV and RES

Written by: jefbak on Dec 23, 2008 01:11 PM

Will I didn't really need the NAV and RES but I just bought one for $19800 last week with 56K miles, and went with the Honda Financing incentive as well. I don't really like dvd base navigation, but I ordered the latest dvd anyway to give it a try. I do like the back up camera and the memory seats! I would have got a Honda Pilot, but the Acura dealer really wanted to be competitive. ... Read More...

Tech vs Sport Comparison

Written by: Rdubb on Dec 20, 2008 04:05 PM

I have been doing a bit of mid-size SUV shopping lately and have been surprised by how reality differed from my expectations about vehicles and features based on what I read in reviews. Definitely need to check things out for yourself, back to back and at length if possible before buying vehicles like this. MDX Tech vs Sport package was one of the areas I was looking ...

Acura MDX Transmission Problems

I don't have a rumble strip noise, but I have a rough downshift at about 30mph. I have less than 50k on my 2005 MDX. It has been to Acura 4 times and the problem still persists. I don't know if Acura can do anything for you as far as cost since you are out of your warranty period. Did Acura check for software updates? Read More...

I have 47k on the car, and about 1k on the transmission. Trust me, the dealership knows I don't live around the corner. I have made that perfectly clear! Oh, did I mention it took me 2 HOURS to get there this morning? Read More...

I have not experienced this problem with my 2005 MDX, but am concerned as the vehicle will be out of warranty within 7 months. May I ask how many miles you currently have on you vehicle. I would let the dealership know that you do not live around the corner and this traveling is an inconvenience. Read More...

Well I left after they replaced the transmission, because I ASSUMED that would fix the problem! When it didn't, I went back, which is when they said it might need a software update. I got the update (assuming that would fix it), but it didn't. Now I am back this morning for more tests. I have had to pay anything, but the dealership is 50 miles away! Read More...

What do you mean you just left? They acknowledged your problem and told you basically too bad? Read More...

2005 Acura MDX Transmission Issue/Rough Downshift

Written by: jkotlar on Nov 12, 2008 01:50 PM

My 2005 MDX recently started downshifting a little rough. It happens after I have been traveling at least 50mph. When I take my foot off the gas to coast before pressing the break, I feel the rough downshift at about 30mph. I took it to an Acura dealer where they replaced the transmission, free of charge since I was within warranty, but the problem persisted even ... Read More...
