Am I the only one or does anybody else have problems with their AM radio reception? It literally suks.
Since 95% of my radio listening is on the AM band, it really deteriorates after dark. The only thing you can listen to is the local 50,000 watter.
Is it too sensitive or not selective enough, and should it do better? Plan on talking with the dealer on the next visit and could use other.s feedback.

I dont know about AM, but I am having problems with FM. I usually get some static hiss with stations that should come in loud and clear. If I do a station scan, it will pass over it. I will be having it checked out next chance I get.

I've noticed my AM reception has gotten noticeably worse over the last week or so. Stations which used to come in fine all the time now fade out under a (minor) overpass, and other stations now have static when they didn't use to. I saw reference in another thread to the dealer tightening the antenna. Anyone know if this is something I can do without special tools or major dissassembly?

  6. 2006 MDX feels boaty over bumps.

    Problems
    Hello, I had just purchased a 2006 Acura MDX. I'm not familiar with this type of vehicle and was wondering if someone can tell me if it is normal for the suspension to feel boaty especially over bumps, or is this normal for this type of vehicle. I know some cars and trucks come like that while...
