6 Structure problem of the 2005 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 01/14/2010

Whenever it is rainy or just rained and I have to roll down the drivers side, window a very strong musty smell shows up. Often the window has water streaks on the glass after I roll it up. It appears the seal on the window is not good. I am concerned about mold and the fact my door may rotting from the inside out.

7 Structure problem of the 2005 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 01/08/2010

When I tried to open the front passenger side window of my 2005 Acura Mdx SUV, somehow, the window glass pushed the door open too, and damaged the outside door handle. Now, I can not open that door from outside, and I can not lower the window glass more than 5 inches otherwise the door would be pushed open by it. That incident almost resulted in a bad accident on the highway.

8 Structure problem of the 2002 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 06/13/2009

I have a 2002 Acura Mdx. Every time it rains, the carpet on the front driver and passenger side get soaked with water. I cannot visually see where the water is coming from. I called the dealer and I was told that its not a manufacturer defect. I went online and I found out that alot of people have the same issues with their car. I believe this should be manufacturer defects is so many drivers are having issues . Not only that the water can reach the electrical components which can be deadly. Please advise if the dealer should be responsible if so many people having this problem. Based on my research online, newer models experienced the same problems that I'm having. I believe the company should be responsible if so many people are having issues.

10 Structure problem of the 2004 Acura MDX

Failure Date: 01/01/2008

I own a 2004 Acura Mdx and 3 out of the 4 air vents (clips) in the front area of the car are broken. They are very cheaply made and fall into pieces when you try to adjust the flow of air. I did some research and found out there is a lot of other people also out there with this problem. Many forums, such as edmunds, has many people complaining about the same thing. They either need to be recalled or Acura needs to start selling replacement clips instead of the entire air vent.
