  • Thermometer/AC problem - 2015 Acura MDX
    By -

    I havent seen anybody else mention this, but its probably my only problem with the car since I bought it last December. If I drive the car awhile, and then park it for an hour or so, the next time I take it out, the car thermometer will read about 10C to 14C degrees higher than what it should be. As a result, the AC will then blow full blast for about 5-10 minutes until the thermometer gradually adjusts itself to the correct temperature as I drive around. For instance, it could be about 17C degrees out, but when I take the car out later, the temperature might read about 29C degrees for a little while. If it stay less than 1h there is no problem at all.

  • A Nice SUV ripe with electronic issues - Too bad really - 2015 Acura MDX
    By -

    I feel like a guinea pig. I was sold a vehicle and I am the one testing it. This SUV is an amazing highway cruiser and family hauler when its not in the garage for electronic issues. My vehicle has been in the garage for multiple two-week periods trying to fix an electrical issue and now the newest issue is the keyless entry/start system doesnt work. I cant even unlock the doors without removing the key from the fob, and I have to hold the fob next to the button just to start the car (even then you wonder if it will work). I have rattles, knocks, and electronic issues that you would expect from a $15K car but not from a luxury brand. I want to like this car, I really do.

  • beware the 19 in wheels - 2015 Acura MDX
    By -

    very happy with my new MDX with 2 exceptions, one serious, the other just annoying. the serious issue, the 19 in wheels are a huge problem if you need to replace a tire anywhere but a large city. NO ONE carries the 19 in tires. i had a flat in Lake City, Fl. My choices Macon or Tpa. 200 miles in either direction. 2 closer Acura dealers did not carry the tire. 200 mi on a donut is too much. worse yet the dealer says a full size spare wont fit. Until these tires become more available Id stay away from them. The annoying issue: the voice controls for navigation, radio etc are just flat hilarious. Call home pretty routinely either adjusts my AC or finds the closest drug store.

  • Very quiet - drives like a car... - 2015 Acura MDX
    By -

    Our last Acura was in 2005 - an RL. Probably one of the best autos we have ever had. Customer service was excellent. Since then, several SUVs (another manufacture) and a van for family vacations. We purchased this car about three weeks ago, and just returned from a 1,000 spring break trip with our two grandsons. Car worked great! Very comfortable - handled quite well on the interstate.

  • Beware of this car, ACURA NO MORE, NEVER AGAIN - 2015 Acura MDX
    By -

    5,000 miles on a AWD MDX and the car is falling apart. First a ln annoying ticking noise that suddenly got loader and is accompanied by a sqeek. At low speeds especially when turning into my driveway there is a knocking noise that sounds like a 20 year old car losing a ball joint. When i start the car there is a rumbling noise that comes and goes. And the newest problem is a very rough downshift when slowing down to a point that you get thrown into the steering wheel. This is my first Acura i have had 6 new hondas and i am saying BYE BYE to honda and Acura forever. Their cars got cheeper and cheeper every year and i dont mean in price but quality. Take your money elsewhere, dont buy the MDX

  • Very good vehicle - 2015 Acura MDX
    By -

    Owned the car for about two months now. Purchased in Oregon and drove the AlCan highway up to Alaska in Feb. to where I live. This vehicle handled every bit of snow & ice thrown at it. I drove 2400+ miles, for 3+ days on glaze slick roads & never felt a slip. Very comfortable & lots of room. It drives much smaller than it is. The LED lights are very crisp & reach pretty far. The infotainment system is definitely something you have to get used to. It does so many things & is extremely complex so initially it was a little overwhelming, but after a few hours of seat time, things easy now. I drove the RX450 Hybrid, Audi Q5 & Q7, VW Touareg & Pathfinder & the MDX won us. I recommend it.

  • Forever an Acura Guy - 2015 Acura MDX
    By -

    Traded in my 04 Acura MDX for a 2014 Chevy Traverse, worst move ever. Bought a 2015 MDX Tech and love it. Much easier to see out of, handles like a car, plenty of power and shifts smoothly with the six speed auto. Dual screen can be a little overwhelming at first but once you get the hang of the redundant controls it is actually quite easy to operate with little distraction. LED headlights are second to none. No need to even remove the remote from your pocket, everything is operated through proximity sensors. Third row one touch entry is as easy as it gets. Interior build quality is high but there are a few little flaws. Im 73" and wish the drivers seat went back one or two more inches.

  • Brand new 2015 MDX - Electronic Issue - 2015 Acura MDX
    By -

    I had an interesting experience with the 2015 MDX this weekend. After only 5 weeks with a new car and less than 1,000 miles, my car broken down. I was shocked. Suddenly, all my systems were not functioning and the computer was warning about no all wheel drive, no power steering, no LDW, etc. So, I used roadside assistance and scheduled an 830am appointment on Saturday morning to pick up my car and have it towed to the Brooklyn Acura dealer. At 9am, I was told they would tow the car at 940am. At 10am, I was told 11am. Finally, I had a tow at 11am.

  • Love my MDX - 2015 Acura MDX
    By -

    Purchased a 2015 MDX back in September and its the best decision Ive made. The interior is way more comfortable and functional than the previous model, the ODMD system is a bit cumbersome to learn but once youve got it, its a snap to use and is sexy to look at as far as technology goes. I love driving this smooth piece Advanced machinery and believe its safety features will keep my family safe. There is no better purchase at this price range or higher and with as little maintenance as this is going to take, its a keeper...

  • The best SUV money can buy - 2015 Acura MDX
    By -

    Ive owned several Acuras and this is the best yet. The power and how the vehicle handles is amazing. Extremely quiet, spacious with amazing technology. Test drove every luxury brand and my decision remained the same. The seats are like heaven and I just love the stereo. Took her on a trip across country and wanted to just keep on driving. Really a fun to drive SUV. Added fog lights and trailer hitch and can tow the required 5K pounds (more than what I need).
