2016 Acura MDX 4dr SUV

290-horsepower 3.5L V6 9-speed shiftable automatic AWD

16000 mi the inside rear view mirror fell off while I tried to change the view 
41000 mi Driver side sun visor replaced 
46000 mi Rear tail light assembly with condensation replaced under warranty. Rear passenger door leaking water due to faulty door film. Acura ordered and will install upon arrival. 
3000 mi Creaking noise near the foot pedals. There was a misaligned panel so it was realigned and lubricated. There was some piece of paint that overreached over the panel gap between the fender and the front passenger door. The door was opened widely and the paint snapped, revealing some bare metal. 
12000 mi Drivers door/window wind noise- excessive. Door striker was moved in, which helped 70% 
2700 mi Ever since these MDX are being built in Alabama, the quality of fit and finish has gone down substantially. Panels that don't fit well, moulding gaps, loose parts, exterior panels not matching up. Their response is that's how it's made!! 
30000 mi The leather on this advanced model MDX is of sub-par quality and thinner than what other cars in the same class have. The leather wears out prematurely and had to be replaced by the dealer in this trip. 
3180 mi The driver's side rear door was misaligned and needed to be aligned properly so the trim was lined up. 
22000 mi Rattle in the left front door at highway speed with strong head wind
