Totally have no idea on what would be the problem here. Have you found the root - cause and got it fixed? I'll appreciate what you share with me on the forum.
Many thanks!

Did you ever find the source of the scraping noise from under the front of the car after passing over a speed bump? Having the same problem with my 2009 MDX with 8500km. Definately not the ABS which is a short term thumping that occurs at about 30km/hr for about 3 seconds when the car hasn't been run for awhile. The scraping seems to occur after you go over a (small) speed bump at slower speed and go back on the accelerator. Nothing hanging under the car, not the wheels hitting the wheel well, and not the mud flaps or anything else hitting the ground. Took the front wheels off and don't see anything unusual. Doesn't happen every time but enough to cause concern. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Have you been able to fix? If so, what was diagnosis?
It doesn't have any air leak thru window. My wife felt this noise right after we had the car. But the wind noise is getting so loud even when I drive at 45mph. The loud wind noise is continue when I drive at 60mph and above on local thruways or highways. My ears are getting heart after an hour drive.
Had anyone had this experience? I couldn't believe it is Acura quality. it is worst than my previous Jeep. It must be something wrong. Any one have any thoughts?
Will complain to dealer at next service. Someone mentioned it caught loud noise when connecting thru blue tooth when receive calls. But I got wind noise no matter what conditions. Please help.
See if you can find a TSB #08-031 issued Aug 09
Symptoms are very similar to what you mentioned.
I do not have a copy...try googling it
The radio issue seems like software related issue, I will contact my dealer and see what they have to say. It will cost me $$$ since it is out of warranty period, sux...
I will keep you posted.
The "ADS" light was coming on for a while and Acura said it was just a sensor so we put it off but now the sport/comfort button doesn't work, it just stays in comfort mode. We'll be dropping her off at Crest Acura real soon. Anyone else have problems with ADS?
I could hear my engine sound clearly when I speed up and down. (I mean louder than usual passenger car---it wasn't like that before).
I am ride like sports car (my is sport +ent). I could even hear the tire sound when ride thru hole or bump. The wind sound is loud right start at 40 mph at local road.
I checked all sealed rubbers around windows and windshield are ok.
I can't understand what these sound transmit into interior cabin.
This was happen even worse after I had my blackberry bold w/ hand free link (I was using Motorola before). But, the loud sound still exist if I didn't carry it on car.
Anyone has this experience?
A year later, a few weeks ago, after hearing a clunking sound that was coming from the right rear getting worse I looked under the car and noticed the right rear shock was oily and assumed it was losing hydraulic fluid. Not sure if the two incidents are connected.

Recently I got B16 service sone at ~14K miles appros $170.00
Owners manual tells you exactly what B16 is
Does the rim look as good as an OEM one?
Who remanufactures the best ones?
My 2008 MDX memory started acting up.
Seats would move little bit, steering will not move
It was passenger side outside mirror actuator assemble
Very common problem in 2008+
Dealer replaced both actuator assy (Part No 76210-STX-H02). Hope this helps
300 for valve check? That's BS.
Maybe you can print it out and ask the service writer to explain the extras.
You could also ask if they work on commission. :shades:

It didn't work though. If anything, it made it worse. A second dealership looked at it and said the booming thuds coming from the back where normal. So I just gave up and traded it in.
What new vehicle did you trade it in for?
I've had Audis before so I'm not expecting it to be as reliable as Honda. But I have 3 years worth of warranty, so I should be fine.
If you need all the room, the MDX is a pretty good SUV, minus the rear booming issue and floaty highway ride. But if you don't need the space, why pay such a penalty in purchase price, handling and gas mileage?
IF we needed another SUV, I had narrowed it down to the Volvo XC60 R-Design.
Please advice me on possible causes and how to handle.
