Bad brake rotors at 12000 miles started facing vibration in steering wheel when Mdx had 8k miles on it and at that time dealer told that its normal in my next service for oil change I told the dealer tech that I am still facing the problem and its quite significant. He stated that its rotor surface are uneven and warped and he has to resurface all 4 of these rotors. How can rotor gets warped at 12-13k miles. Its fairly new car. My concern is to replace all the bad rotors but dealer insisted that they will resurface those rotors. Resurfacing reduces the life of the rotors and then I called Acura and they assigned me district case manager and in turn they talked to dealer and final result is that they will resurface it not replace it. If the product is defective then they should replace it. I think the amount of concerns regarding 2014 Acura Mdx they are receiving regarding the brakes are enormous and they should recall or replace the rotors. Engine noise/ transmission noise. While going to la from sacramento I noticed that while at 65- 70 mph there is always a whistling noise when you are stepping on gas and when you take your foot off the gas it stopped. Its annoying and defeats the purpose of buying such a high end SUV and instead of less road noise you hear whistling sound. I took it to dealer for diagnostic and they stated that its either from engine or from transmission and they have no solution to it. Update from Apr 25, 2016 this is update from last time when niello Acura could replicate the noise but there wasn't any solution to it. I called Acura hq and they set an appointment for Acura tech-dpsm on 04/21/2016 to drive and next day I get call back that they could replicate the whisling noise but the same noise also came from other 2014 model they drove. So there is no solution to it.
