So I have been looking at getting an MDX and doing my research for the 2017 and came across these TSBs which are disappointing to see and know of a problem waiting to happen.
16-008 - High Pressure Fuel Pump Chirps
15-039 - Transmission End Cover Leaks (9-Speed A/T)
17-026 - Warranty Extension: MDX Transmission Chirps During 3-4 Shift, Poor
Shift Quality, or Engine Overheats Because of Defective ATF Warmer
If it is a new car, the only time I prefer it to be in the shop is for maintenance rather than issues like these and the crosd contamination issue would worry me the most. I also do not like weird noises.
I would think Acura would have gotten their act together for the 2018, at least I would like to think so considering the issues with the past, but alas new changes and newer things might always come with their own issues.
I know with the 2018s coming out, I am sure there is pressure to drop prices on the 2017s on the lot and the stealerships in my area are not short of MDXs at all.
If I do get a 2018 I realize they will not budge much on the price but I definitely do not want to pay MSRP. Is the wait worth the piece of mind?
Those that did buy a 2017, were or are you aware of the TSBs?
I wonder if I do negotiate a 2017, is it possible to have them replace the parts ahead of time? I sort of doubt they would do it until the problems surface.
