general problems of the 2007 Acura MDX

I have a 2007 Mdx with about 125,000 miles on it. I received a notification dared November 2016 from Acura that the front and rear active dampers might be bad. The vehicle makes clunking and banging sounds when I drive on rough roads or go over speed bumps and I believe that the dampers are bad. I requested a review, case 05228502 and was immediately rejected by an Acura employee in torrance CA. This is the first model year to be recalled and I believe that most are over the 100,000 mile limit.

I have a multiple clunking sounds that occur on every bump or when driving on irough surfaces!!!! I have taken the Mdx in several times and the bushings are good on the tie rods etc. . I am now replacing the tires again due to excessive wear in a short period of time!! I just read about a strut recall to day on the internet. . I never recieved any notice. . . This problem has been ongoing for a year!! I thought it was just the front undercarriage guard that has a crack in it flexing, making the noise&#128556.

Takata recall I have a complaint on Acura Mdx 2007 sport entertainment on replacing struts. The value on replacing them is ridiculously expensive and I have read some many complaints about the same issue that they need to be replace every 50,000 miles could this be a recall because replacing them every 50,000 miles at a high value is to expensive.

I am having issues with a leaking shock on the rear of my Acura Mdx sport. The shock is leaking, after research online this is a common issue for this model and I feel is a design flaw.

My husband and I purchased a used 2007 Mdx Acura 2 yrs ago and have experienced everything from bad tires to suspension to dvd to battery problems. We had our vehicle serviced at a Honda dealer and was given an estimate of what it would cost to have struts done and given a quote of approximately $1350. When I returned to have the service done, I was encouraged to have the timing belt done even though it was not as vital as getting the strut work done. So I had the timing belt done. Now our warranty has expired and we are still experiencing strut problems. No one should be experiencing these kinds of issues on a vehicle they have only had for 2 yrs. We bought the vehicle at about 68,000 mile. It now has roughly 110,000. On several occasions, the truck would not start and had to be boost. There was nothing going on that would have caused the battery to die, in fact the battery was checked at the Honda dealership and I was told the battery was good. We have put too much money already into this vehicle for repairs and it is simply not worth it. I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone. The dvd on occasions does not work and we get some type of read error. For the amount we spend every month on this car, this is utterly ridiculous.

Car is equipped with sport suspension. Shock mount had been rattling for months, taken to dealer multiple times. After scouring internet for a cause, found many complaints in Mdx forums about sport suspension shock mounts breaking. Took back to dealer, cause was confirmed. The concern is that these shocks cost $1000 each, they are a dealer only item, and just 10 minutes of research online will demonstrate that this is a known issue and most customers don't get any or much dealer participation in the repair. Before the repair, the car was most definitely unsafe, and it is frustrating that the dealer did not diagnose the issue, I did.

The electronic suspension on our 07 Mdx is an extra paid option, we did not buy new but we still paid for that option as it increases value new or used. . . The rear dampers in ours are leaking and for a set to replace costs at least $1000 in parts and then you have to pay labor. This is a premium brand, but it is not an exotic. . . Not sure why an Acura ads suspension part that probably costs them $50 to make, costs the consumer (aka the ppl who keep Acura in business) $500+ each. This is obviously a major and expensive flaw in Acuras suspension and they should replace for free or at the least price the part so it's affordable. I have a 12 yr old Lexus that has the original suspension and is still working like it should. . .

There is a rattle from right under side of the vehicle and the local dealer diagnosed it as defective front strut (damper) and recommended replacement at a cost of $1300 per strut since the warranty expired. The defective strut should be repaired by Acura at no or minimal cost to the consumer before an incident occurs due to defective front struts.

Driver side strut broke, took to dealer multiple times to diagnose. Independent frame shop diagnosed within 10 minutes of being there. Come to find out from new service advisor that previous advisor did document issue I was complaining about in their system. Smells like a cover up to me. Been chasing this problem for the beter part of 2 years now with the dealer. Many other documented situations similar to mine online as well. Please look into this issue. With the dealer's participation this fix will cost me $1500 to repair and my car is still under warranty. They are calling it wear and tear. For such a well cared for low mileage car, and so many other documented situations, I disagree.
