Hmmmm...sounds suspect.
Is this why I have so often received a car back from service with more problems than it went in with....creating job security? Bonding with the service department is something I have involuntarily had to do many times in the past. I can't tell you how much I don't want to get on a first name basis with the serivce manager again.

I could not agree with you more!
I have owned Toyotas primarily due to their excellent service record. OK I got burnt on the '90 4-Runner. After that I swore I would NEVER buy another first model year car again. Then came the MDX. My head was swayed by my heart and the fear that the 4-Runner would need another trip to the shop before the '02 X's came out. Anyway if there were some first year MDX problems, they wouldn't be fixed in one year anyway.
No offence Roger I'm sure I would enjoy to know you or any other person on this site on a personal level, but I am willing to pay a premium price for a vehicle just so I can stay out of the service shop. And, if I do need to bring it in, I don't want to go back again for them to get what they should have gotten right the first time. Nor do I want to return so they can play with something else that wasn't broke the first time. (God bless you Bell Teck

)Botny, did you take your 'X to Don Mealey or Fountain? Did you happen to catch the name of the tech who did the fix? I'd feel much better knowing my 'X was in the hands of an experienced surgeonbotny said:
BTW, let me know if you'd like to take your 'X off-roading. Some friends and I are planning to go back to the Withlacoochee State Forest some Saturday in November, still not sure exactly when though. Lots of wide open trails to explore, great fun with VTM-4 Re: remery, you have totally missed the point.
My horse is not that high but my experience is, which is contrary to yours. I cannot remember when I have taken a car to a dealer and had new problems occur as a result. My only problems with dealer service have been they don't always fix the problem on the first attempt which requires a return visit. I have owned over 20 vehicles in the past 25 years which may or may not compare with your vehicle ownership level. Thus, I sometimes take exception to statements made by folks in forum that contradict my own experience which is the case here. That's the issue, not world hunger, plus weeping mirrors don't bother me that much compared to many others. Acura has a TSB now to fix it so I will have it done when I take it to have driver seat shifting problem fixed.
Also my experience to date with Acura service has been exceptional so if your dealership in Utah is as good, maybe you won't be as reluctant to take it in. Having free and available loaners plus Saturday hours makes the service experience almost hassle free for me compared with other dealerships I have dealt with in the past. As Roger suggested, maybe a little dealer bonding might be a good thing.

looks like it is fixed in 2002
Guess the good news is it is not a problem with '02. I decided to have some quality time with the 'X and took it for a rinse. Deliberately pointed the hose into the rear view mirror. Drove almost the whole day - did not notice any weeping.
I will still keep an eye though!!!

mirrors done
Had my weeping mirrors done about two weeks ago, and the drip is now gone, but I still get the spray. I am waiting for my 7500 service to take it back. Are there any suggestions that i should make to the dealer to help them get it right this time? thanks.
