Also, the original windshield has rain sensing capability, but the quote from geico indicated the QRP is a windshield w/o rain sensor. Is it possible they can use the original rain sensor on the replacement windshield? Thanks.

illustration no. 5. I've had to replace a lot of the bulbs in the dash. This vendor has good diagrams and good prices. Good luck!
Problem: coverage seems inadequate. when you have your foot on the gas pedal, your heel leaves debris. the rubber insert in the carpet for your left foot is also exposed and gets quite filthy. any suggestions???
Thank you, Marty
So if you are going to regular sand spots where CRV's, Lexus 300's and other AWD vehicles go, I am sure you will be OK...or spots where you don't need to airdown. If you are fishing in remote rough terrain, I don't think the MDX is the right vehicle...although I am not sure I would take an explorer there either :-)
The problem was: at least four times, in the past two month’s period, I could not start my car after a short period of waiting time, approximately 35 minutes, with the radio on but engine off. The sub-woofer and DVD player were also off. It needed a quick contact jump in order to be able to start again. I have been driving this MDX in the same manner as it used to be and it never happened like this before even with the sub-woofer and DVD player both on with the engine off. I brought the car back to the dealer and I was told that nothing was wrong. They told me that I can not listen to the radio while I am in a waiting period with the engine off. I can not believe that I paid more than $45,000 and I have to pay the cost of the gas each time I listen to the radio inside the car. According to the dealer, I can not do anything about this but run the car when I want to listen to the radio.:mad: I am just curious if anyone have had a similar problem. Thank you in advance for helping me to solve this problem.
Dealer tested the car several times and they say there is nothing wrong with the ABS system, but not to me since I have two other cars from different brand. Abs system is designed to work and stop the car under sudden stop to avoid the accident but when it starts raining and in my experience more than three times I survived a very bad accident since the ABS did not work properly, break makes a rattling sound under my foot and not much power to stop the car with confidence.
several times I brought this issue to the dealer and each time they say they can't find any problem with it and it similar to the other MDX to them
Maybe you wouldn't have to test your BRAKES so often.
Good luck.

What gives? :mad:
Thanks for any input!
My husband's joke was that the car was trying to do the math to double check the gas mileage it reports on the trip computer. I called the dealer and will be taking it in in a week or so when another part comes in for another problem (SRS indicator light). Kind of disappointing to be in the shop so much in the first month of owning a new car!
What pisses me off more is the chip. The only reason its there is because they insisted on taking the car in to fix the rattle, which they couldn't do anyway. Arrgh!
Should I be suspicious? All that for a window rattle and small paint chip? Anyone else ever heard of a dealer doign this? I was just going to ask that they fix the chip, then take it to another dealer for the rattle.
What can they do with this car? Won't they have to sell it as used?
I just found this forum and the constant list of various problems freaks me out!!!
I'm paying $40,000+ for this car. I would hope to not experience any of this.
I would rather spend the extra few thousand and get the Lexus RX350. Spend some time on the Lexus Forums, you will see NONE of this... just happy owners talking about things like color preference and cleaning advice.
What's up with Acura?
Should I drop this deal? :confuse:
But, it's still larger than the lexus. the thrid row is usable, and we like it overall. Just can;t roll down the back window a couple inches.
I warned them about my findings in the forums and if there were any issues with the truck, I would be their worst nightmare and they assured me nothing but a great experience.
They also stated that they have had no complaints at all. (but this I do not believe)
I guess we'll see what happens.
I'm going into this with an open mind.
Nothing is perfect, even $43,000 cars. As long as Acura stands behind their product and offers me assistance when needed, I'll be happy.
Having a service dept open until 10pm weeknights doesn't hurt either.
The service guy has told me that Acura knows of no complaints. They are actually designed to be loose so that the track doesn't leave marks on the window (this is dumb. If it did leave tracks, they'd be where you can't see them) b/c the TL had windows that were too tight and people complained.
They just flunked their survey.
I'm also in the middle of a mortgage refinance. They suggested not signing on the MDX until closing is complete, so I may not be getting it until Monday or Tuesday now.
As soon as I pick it up, I'll let you know on the windows.
Sage Brush Pearl on Black.... looks great.
The rear windows do NOT rattle at all. I have some nice bumpy old roads near the house. I took the MDX out and as I drove around, opened the rear windows a little at a time, no rattles.
I am able to grab the open window and wiggle it slightly, but it's no more movement than I have seen in any other car.
I also checked out 2 TLs while I was there. The windows were snug and did not rattle or move when wiggled.
One was a new 06 in the showroom, the other was an used 05 on the lot.
I can't imagine why you have this issue and why other cars on their lot have it as well. :confuse: :confuse: :confuse:
I bought the MDX Premium last week and am having a great discomfort in my back while driving. The lumbar seems to be too propped out even in the least position. It seems to be pushing my back forward. I have tried all the seating position but it is very painful.
I understand that Touring has power lumbar option but it is too late for me now. I kind of regret not that buying Touring. Anyway, what are my options at this point. I can not drive this car with my back aching severely. I have never had any problem with any other car...even the one without adjustable lumbar support.
Can this lumbar be adjusted? What are my options?
Any help will be greatly appreiated.
