3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 11/26/2021

Car battery constantly draining resulting in having to jumpstart the car now every time to turn it on. Had the hands free system disconnected by the dealership over a year ago due to them stating it was drawing on battery however it has not changed and went from occasional need to jumpstart to every time you need to turn on car. Have had two new batteries installed and car looked at by dealership and only issue they found was hands free link drawing on battery so disconnected it.

4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 12/31/2017

The vehicle was in motion when I heard a loud pooping sound. A diagnosis was done at pep boys, raleigh nc and I was told the number one spark plug exploded and therefore messed up the coil. I was turning on a city street.

5 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2014

Transmission has problem shifting and down shifts without notice even when applying pressure on gas - causing car to slow. Dangerous for cars following behind - almost rear ended.

6 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2014

Like others with the 06 Mdx I had to have the motor mounts replaced. It is very possible the "judder" as Honda calls them from the torque converter caused this even though I had the computer software fix. This became an issue as the vibrations from the bad motor mounts damaged the front right half shaft/axial and I was told I was very lucky it did not break while I was driving on the highway.
