I must start by saying that I absolutely love my mdx(silver, ebony interior, touring w/ nav.) . But I am one of the unfortunate ones that has the problem with the mpg doubleing. For example, after getting 18 mpg on a trip, I turn my car off and on and It would double my mpg to 36. This is annoying. The only other thing I am not happy about is the windshield wipers leave streaks and can be noisy at times. I will appreciate any comments on these matters.
I am a stickler about windshield wipers. I have tried MANY blades. From ANCO to BOSCH to those double blade to thos that have many ridges on a roundish blade.
Previously I loved the Bosch Micro edge, these worked great but were on the pricy side. The carbon on the blades do wear off and I would get chatter. I recent found some great one out of all place Costco. They are a DBL pack call "Trico Teflon Blades" I've had them on my Civic for 5 months and they still work great, like new.
Also make sure you clean you windshield and avoid going to those carwashes that spary "wax" on you car of course it get on the winshield and that plays into the chatter. I use windex with amonia to cut the wax.
The trip odo problem is pretty prevalent and there's been a lot of discussion. I'm sure you'll find several threads if you do a search. Another trick that it has is to erase your history.
There seems to be limited success getting this fixed. My dealer doesn't seem to know what to do, but I've seen posts from others who say their dealer did a SW upgrade that fixed it.
I agree, it's very annoying. Check with your dealer and keep after them.
The MPG happened to me once. At that time,the trip computer added 91 miles to the trip and the MPG just shot up. It did not happen again after that. Didn't take it to the dealership yet.
The driver side door won't open on my 2001 MDX (non-nav). I'm original owner and the car hasn't been in any accidents. Took it to the local mechanic who couldn't do anything about it. Then I went to the dealer, who called to say that they can't get it open either. Now they've removed the...
First post, thank you for having me.

This is my first time installing a radio in an Acura, I've done it in my other cars.
I bought the correct wiring harness adapter, but after plugging everything in, the radio had no power still. Realized the Battery Constant wire going in to the...
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...
Hope someone has some feedback on the following: my MDX 2013 sometimes makes a rattling noise and it has to do with the heat/air system. I have located the noise (faint intermittent fast rattle) to be coming from underneath the vehicle and it stops when I switch the Heat/AC off.
Has anybody...
