2014 Acura MDX 4dr SUV
290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 120000 mi | Check engine light and AWD light were on. Had come one twice before, but gone out both times before I got to the dealer. First trouble code indicated fuel mix was reading either too lean or too rich. Dealer replaced EGR value to clear that code. Second trouble code indicated fuel mix was reading too lean. After discussion with the technical service (engineering) department, dealer replaced the throttle body gasket. Turns out gasket had failed. This was over the 4th of July holiday weekend, so repairs weren't done until about a week after I dropped the car off. (They provided a loaner). I paid ZERO out of pocket for this repair, since my mileage was just under the 120,000 limit for the extended warranty I bought with the car. |
| 24000 mi | Replaced timing belt pulley shim |
| 83000 mi US $1000 |
Engine mounts |
| 99200 mi C $880 |
Rocker arm oil sensor |
| 67000 mi | Car lurched a little at around 40 miles per hour. Diagnosed as a software issue, dealer did a software update and flushed the transmission at no charge. Totally fixed the problem |
| 72000 mi US $155 |
Car lost power -- couldn't find an error. Reset warning and cleared problem. Just have to wait for it to happen again they said. |
| 25000 mi | There was a light indicating the fuel cap may not be tightly closed even though we had 3 different people tighten it. |
| 11000 mi | Truck made noise and had a "shudder" at low speeds when maintaining speed. They changed out a cover in the engine which they believed was the problem (other reports). I have not experienced the problem since. |
| 104400 mi | After paying $3000 for required maintenance I drove about 400 miles. The engine crank bearing on cylinder 5 seized and melted. An entire new engine was required. |
| 15000 mi | Pulley/shim assembly was loose and squeaking and needed to be replaced. |
| 27000 mi | Engine timing belt making noise - required TSB shim repair. |
| 53000 mi | Engine belt making brushing noise. Took about a week to trouble shoot and fix, with various parts that had to be ordered. |
| 9000 mi | Unusual engine noise dealer said is normal. Not present until 12000 miles. With so many problems with a new mdx I took my losses and got rid of it. I will never ever again purchase another Acura vehicle and have convinced 3 others not to. |
| 15000 mi | Misaligned water pump pulley, causing engine noise (chirping). Dealer added a shim and replaced the belt. |
| 17000 mi | Every warning message that could appear did, and I couldn't drive faster than 30 mph, on the freeway, until turning off the car and restarting it. |
| 4000 mi | Emission control error light came up. Oxygen sensor was found faulty and replaced by dealer under warranty. |
| 36580 mi | Idler pulley noise. Idler pulley replaced. |
