All Suspension Complaints
Clunking in the front suspension drivers side consistent with a broken strut housing... just like on our last 3 Acura MDX's that had breaks in the Super Handling All Wheel Drive magnetic shocks.
We have taken our 2016 Acura MDX to our local dealer three times in the past to complain about noises (clicking and thumping) coming from the front end of the vehicle. Each time the vehicle was under warranty and the response we got from the dealer was "no problem found". Two weeks ago (02Sept2023) we took the Acura MDX to the same local dealer and are told both of the front control arms need to be replaced. Since we are no longer under warranty it would cost us $1559.78 to replace both. And we are also informed that control arms on this vehicle do wear out frequently and they keep a supply on hand to replace the for the many customers that have had the same problem. While we have not had a direct safety problem with this car yet, the car is relatively young and does not have high...
VEHICLE ACCELERATION IS SLUGGISH AT STOP AND GO. DURING HIGHWAY SPEED, IF TRANSMISSION IS IN LOW CRUISING GEAR AND YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE, TRANSMISSION IS SLUGGISH. ISSUES WAS CORRECTED AT DEALER. DEALER FOUND 1 FAULTY TRANSMISSION COMPUTER CODE. NEW SYMPTOMS AFTER COMPUTER FIX, OVER ACCELERATION AND HARSH SHIFT POINTS. DEALER ADVISED TO DRIVE 500 MILE AFTER COMPUTER REFLASH. INTERIOR LIGHT DO NOT DIM AFTER A FEW SECONDS. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF REGARDLESS OF LOCKING VEHICLE. REAR SUSPENSION HAS A 0.55 CAMBER DIFFERENCE, VEHICLE HAS 26,765 MILES. I ASKED DEALERSHIP SERVICE TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE. DEALER NEVER ADVISED ON ISSUES.
THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION IS MAKING A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING OVER A SPEEDBUMP OR POTHOLES OR WHEN TURNING. THE VEHICLE SWAYS- PITCHING AND ROLLING.
