Acura MDX Change Vehicle

"AC failed and had to have it replaced."

"Stopped working"

"metal shavings"

"Compressor failed and needed replaced."

"Have had to visit the mechanic multiple times to adjust either the compressor or sensors. A/C is a must have in Georgia, and both of the Acura cars I've owned have had weak A/C systems"

"A/C clutch stopped working"

"AC compressor failed at 195,000 miles after 12 years. Not really complaining about that lifespan!"

"I’ve had the AC compressor and hoses replaced twice, and the coolant topped off four to five times in the past 5 years. Now it’s out again."

"The air mix control motor failed and apparently is a very common issue with the model series MDX. Too expensive to repair for a vehicle with such high miles."

"started acting erratically and now seems stuck into the heat position. Waiting for final diagnosis and fix."

"Something is stuck in it. The dealer said he fixed it but it has come back and it is loud. The higher the setting the louder the noise"

"Fan motor making noise"

"HVAC fan had a rodent die inside. Required replacement."

"The bearings are worn in the blower fan, and every time I hit a bump, it starts making a loud groaning noise, and I have to cycle power on the AC system to get it to stop."

"It make a very loud noise when you turn it on and doesn't really cool the car"

"The car blows hot air all the time! If the weather is not too hot, then I can trigger it to blow cold air by going to full hot and down to full cold."

"Was making rattling sound while operating. Replaced fan blower."

"All major components of the A/C system failed and had to be replaced. Dealer quoted >$3000. Took to another mechanic who did the work for ~$1400"

"Mode door actuator failed and I replaced it myself"

"heater control valve"

"The car heated up so much we had to open windows in the middle of the frigid NY winter. it wasnt reading the temp we set it on"

"second time a/c has had to be recharged. can not find leak"

"There was a hole in the rad, we replaced the rad"

"Air wasn't blowing cold. I had the freon filled and it blew cold again"

"This is the fourth refrigerant leak for my MDX"

"freon was leaking. An independent service center replaced a hose and valve and it fixed the problem"

"RADIATOR LEAKS, EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT AT ONLY 100K MILES?. NO ACCIDENTS. NO EXCESSIVE DRIVING"

"system failed and was replaced"

"The unit failed, Acura wanted $900 to replace, aftermarket was less than $200. changed myself."

"The Bluetooth device in the car stopped pairing with devices"

"Bluetooth module failed. Radio stops working during wet weather - seems to be related to Bluetooth module failure"

"Bluetooth developed a hort circuit, draining the battery if the car was idle for a few days, disconnected the device"

"Stopped all bluetooth function"

"Bluetooth phone module is completely non-operational. Quoted repair cost at the dealer is $600"

"Bluetooth system for using my iPhone stopped working. cost was over $400 to repair"

"it wont pair with new smart phone like samsung s 7"

"Bluetooth system completely stopped working and needs to be replaced which would be an excessive cost and not worth it."

"The bluetooth interface module is a very common problem with this model series MDX. The unit burns out if used extensively and costs $750 to repair. Not worth the cost for a vehicle with such high mileage."

"Illinois requires a driver not to use a cellphone when driving. I cannot use the bluetooth function in my car and the dealer wants $500 to fix. Sorry, too much money. I will either not use my cellphone while driving or look for a cop before using same. Too bad."

"The bluetooth unit in the car malfunctioned and was constantly drawing voltage from the battery causing the battery to run down constantly. I think the problem started very shortly after I got the car because I have had to replace the battery in less than two years time ever since I got the car. I have had to jump start the car close to 100 times since I got it. The dealer could never tell me what was wrong with the electrical system after multiple times in the shop. I found information on the internet that led me to the problem. It appears a class action suit was brought against Acura because of this malfunction but it never got anywhere. I watched a video explaining how to disconnect the bluetooth unit and since I disconnected it, I have had no more problems with the battery running down. I wish Acura would admit this is a problem and recall their cars with this unit installed. I spent a lot more on batteries for this car than I should have. The listed cost to 'repair' this problem is over $1000. It should be replaced for free."

"The hands free system stopped working a couple of years ago. Soon after, my car battery kept dying. I read up on things and found out that in this model, even if the hands free doesn't work, it still drains the battery. I looked on YouTube to find how to disconnect it as that would stop the battery drain. The cost to replace is too high on this old of a car so I disabled it and that stopped the battery drain. It's easy to disable it and saves money from having a mechanic do it. It took me less than five minutes."

"Bluetooth failed and began draining the battery. Occasionally the car needed a jump to start engine. Dealer disconnected the Bluetooth and battery/starter work fine. Bluetooth does not."

"It doesn’t work and the dealer wants $500 to repair."

"Owners manual instructions were not helpful; online searches suggest this is a routine problem with many Accuras."

"Power steering leaked fluid and made noises"

"Steers hard to the right"

"Power steering pump making noise when cold and turning"

"Had the power steering pump replaced in Jan 2019 and had to have it replaced again in Feb 2020, along with the HP hose."
