X5 vs. MDX 2001 model year recalls:

You can look up the safety recalls that have occurred for both vehicles (model year 2001) listed at the NHTSA web site ( http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/central2.cfm ). Whilst the MDX has had no safety recalls, the list of safety recalls for the X5 is so long that the web page reads, "Due to the large number of records returned from the Recalls database, we did not display Defect Summary, Consequence Summary and Corrective Summary description."

In 1989 I purchased a new 735 iL which I owned for 5 years. I had more problems with that car than with all the other vehicles that I have ever owned over the years combined - and I've owned Ford. So I'm not at all surprised by the long list of recalls for the X5; reminds me of the cliche "the more things change the more they say the same".

As with any car or manufacturer, you can have good ones and bad ones. I have a late 99 BMW 328I with 55,000 miles on it and it has had zero recalls or problems to date. I've had to do nothing to it beyond normal maintenance. On the otherhand, I've had about a dozen problems with the MDX so far and two recalls (radio and right seat airbag harness). That said, I love both vehicles as different as they are for what they bring to the table.
