Engine not specified
| Acura MDX in California, United States Feb 2018 - Sep 2018 | |||
| Apr 2018200 mi | Navigation map does not show traffic flow information. It has been determined that the traffic information is now received from HD radio stations. There are no HD radio stations in the area we live. Almost sound like false advertising. Traffic information on my 2016 Acura RDX is received through the XM antenna. Why did Acura choose to change the way traffic information is received? | ||
| Jun 20182000 mi | The steering wheel, intermittently does not return to the memorized position. | ||
| Jul 20182434 mi | Memory function, intermittently does not adjust steering wheel to memorized position. Steering wheel stays in the position for exiting the vehicle. This is the fourth visit for the same issue. Dealer unable to duplicate the issue and has stated there is no problem. I contacted Honda Client Relations and Honda refuses to do anything either, even though this is a safety issue. | ||

| Acura MDX in Florida, United States Nov 2020 - Jun 2022 | |||
| Oct 202152000 mi | Strange squeaking noise while car runs at speeds of 30mph or below. Has been happening since we bought this car and started around 5K miles and keeps recurring. This is the 3rd trip to dealer with this complaint. Dealer acknowledged that the problem came from the Acura factory with the original car, but Acura refuses to take responsibility. Due to this being my 2nd Acura bought from same dealer and other family acura's and relationship with the dealer, he agreed to honor and fix the issue. According to the Dealer, one of the rotors on the car ( front driver side) does not match the factory spec compared to the other three, and this causes some issue with alignment and the pad. This Car is always dealer maintained, so there were no fingers to point elsewhere. Regardless the car is now out of manufacture warranty, but dealer stepped up to fix the issue with the scraping/squeaking noise. As I post this in mid-Dec 2021, the issue of the noise has now re-appeared. Perhaps its time to ditch the Acura brand and get my family excited with a more reliable brand of luxury. | ||

| Acura MDX in Massachusetts, United States Jul 2016 - Jun 2022 | |||
| Sep 201714000 mi | The 2017 MDX transmission shifts roughly (just like our 2003 MDX 198,000 2nd transmission.) During routine maintenance they did an adjustment, reports wife. Computer she thinks. Fix worked but was temporary. I am very wary of the MDX Transmission. We are snowbirds. 2017 MDX is North, we are South, so no access to records. | ||
