I purchased this SUV with 59k on it and have been driving it for the last 7 years. I've taken onto the beach, into the woods, slept in it at campsites, and up and down the East Coast. The transmission and engine are still running strong. I did have to replace a blown A/C hose and a bunch of tires, but I couldn't be happier with the vehicle. I got the dreaded P0740 code twice in 3 days. The car had to go and I'm pretty sad about it. The car has been fantastic. Of course, I had to do regular maintenance, replace a computer module, and A/C compressor. I would say that's pretty good for owning a car for 15 years and 204k miles. My next vehicle has some big shoes to fill.

Acura MDX - Transmission ISSUES - BEWARE!!!

I used to be a fan of Acura until I purchased an Acura MDX and ran into ALL KINDS of Power Transmission issues. I'm not the type of person who is a "complainer", but believe me when I tell you that Acura is having all kinds of issues with the torque converters on their transmission. Most of the time, the issues show up right after the warranty. The dealership (McGrath Acura) will give you the run around and have you contact the Acura Customer Care 1-800 #. Once you do that, if you complain loud enough they will assign you to a District Manager who will do absolutely nothing to satisfy you. If you're smart, do a simple Google Search on Acura transmission issues and see what comes up. You will be amazed by the number of complaints that loyal Acura customers have regarding Transimission issues

Acura knows it transmissions so don't buy them to support their mistakes

I love this vehicle and it broke my heart when in two days the transmission was gone. I love this vehicle yet after paying thousands of dollars and servicing transmission-nothing. I called Acura and they were useless. I had a recall at 40,000 to LOOK at transmission just to save them from when it does go out and it will!! Serveral shops do them and make a living from them when we called around. I thought Chrysler had issues but you DON't get what you pay for here!! Will never buy again to not get any support from them.

Bought it used from an individual with 100k on it. other than a transmission job at 190k, I have had no problems with this vehicle. It is by far the ugliest thing I have ever driven but I would buy another in a heartbeat! I now have 235k on it and I'm hoping to make it to half a mil!

Purchased used from a dealer with app 40k miles on it. Was great for a couple of years and then at 95k, I had to have the transmission replaced. Acura did replace because of recall and I only paid a $400 labor charge. Very disappointed that now at 145k miles I am hearing the same noise and know it is again the transmission. I will never by another Honda or Acura. I have owned Toyotas previously and never had any major problems. Going back to Toyota but in the meantime I feel stuck with this car. Can't sell it with a faulty transmission and do not want to pay for new one.

I now have 168,000 miles on this MDX with virtually no problems, except 1. Two years ago, the Torque Converter went out. The dealer indicated that it would cost about $5,000 to repair unless Acura stepped. The dealer, Butler Acura in Ashland, Oregon contacted Acura and asked about it. Acura agreed to replace the entire transmission and torque converter (new, not rebuilt) if I would cover the labor cost. The car had 132,000 miles on it at the time. That is standing behind a car. The warranty was only for 100,000 miles, but they felt it should not have gone out, so they replaced it. The car does have a bit more road noise than I would like, but otherwise is a great performer!

I just sold my MDX to a dealer for $4,000.00 after buying it for $24,000.00 just 5 years ago. After two transmissions, one computer, and a couple of sensors, I must admit I am through with Honda! I bought it for reliability thinking I would get the regular 200,000+ miles experience and barely got 100,000. This would have been my second transmission in 2 years if not for selling it off. This is disgraceful for an auto manufacturer that boasts quality and charges exorbitantly for it but doesn't deliver. I basically enjoyed the car. It was reliable. I'll miss it. But not the sorry crappy transmission problems. I hope Acura/Honda corrected this problem.

Ultimately regretful

I did a lot of research on various models before deciding to buy my MDX. I was fortunate enough to find a one owner trade in with very low miles, with regular service. I thought despite a couple of annoying short comings of the first model year, that I'd have it for years to come, but no longer. AC hose replacement at 60K miles/ $1K. Power steering 83K mi/ $600. Transmission 84K mi/ $6000. Nav system & CD multi disc changer both broken. People still think it looks like a new car. I got several good years out of it, but for a Honda, this last year's reliability has been horrible. It should have lasted longer before the cost to repair was higher than the value. I may never go back.

Love it!

I've had this MDX for almost nine years (brand new with 14 miles on the engine) and have thoroughly enjoyed owning and driving this SUV. Dealer replaced the transmission about 75K miles ago. Love the strong, stable feel when driving in snow & rain. So roomy and comfortable for trips. Even though I no longer need such a large vehicle (the kids are grown & gone now) I most likely will get another MDX only I will buy used this time. I have over 175K miles and am seeing just how long/far this car will go. Have had most of the preventive maintenance performed which can be pricey but still haven't found another SUV I like better.

Love it!

I bought the car the first month it was available in 2001. I now have over 167K miles on it and it's going strong. I too received a new transmission during the recall so I should have several good years left. I love the versatility of the vehicle. From sheets of plywood to trees! I won't buy a new one again but will consider a used one or possibly a CR-V. My husband loves his CR-V and I don't mind driving it but my MDX has just a bit more luxury about it -- if you're willing to pay the extra $$. Might even consider a Toyota. But I've been driving either Honda's or Acura's since 1984..so it might be hard to change now. The MDX handles very much like a car, and I've really enjoyed owning it.

Excellent Car, will only buy an MDX

A friend had a new 2001 MDX and loved it so I bought a pre-owned 2001 in 2005 with 44K miles. I loved this car! I had almost 72K miles and someone t-boned us going about 40 mph. The car was amazing how it protected us. The airbags went off but other than that, no damage in the interior. Unfortunately our MDX was totaled. We are replacing it with another MDX. We are not even considering anything else. In the 4 years I had the car, we have had absolutely no service calls or problems. Love the smooth ride and security it brings while driving.

195K and still going strong

This is the best car I've ever owned. I'll roll 200,000 miles sometime this summer, yet this car has NEVER let me down. The only time it's ever been in the shop was for air conditioning problems. Even then it was a minor fix. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone considering it!

ownership, I can honestly say I'd buy the car all over again, in a heartbeat. Pluses are comfort, still class-leading navigation system, interior room, and build quality. Mine has always been dealer-serviced, which hasn't been particularly cheap. Transmission went kaput at 90,000 miles, and I neither tow, carry loads nor abuse the transmission in any way. Would have been more disappointing, but Honda Motors - which apparently knows they have problems with this transmission, paid for half the cost of replacement. Abundant wind and road noise and unimpressive gas mileage (about 18 mpg combined)are about the only drawbacks. And you'd better have a wide garage door to fit it in.

Jeep upgrade

Purchased in '02 with 11k on it. Grey market but was able to have maintained through local dealership. Previously had 3 Cherokees over 8 years. Best upgrade ever. More room, comfort, visibility than the jeep. I found the seats especially comfortable since I had a bad back. Good handling in wet weather or snow, but would not want to take it offroad. Has carried my family for 155K and convinced me that my next car will be the same one (not the newer smaller version). No reliability issues, predictable maintenance.

I bought this car in 2000 thinking I was paying premium price for a premium car. In 2004 while still under warranty the car began making a vibrating noise. This was very intermittent and the local dealer was unable to replicate the problem. The problem has gradually gotten worse. With 77,000 miles on the car I finally discovered the transmission needed replacing. Acura ¨customer service¨ informed me I would only have to pay $1180 of the $3800 repairs. They explained that I didn't always get the car serviced at Acura. In the next sentence they said they weren't responsible for the local dealer not being able to diagnose the problem.

I was a big fan until 80,000 miles

I bought this car from another dealership and was instantly thrilled with this car. However, I am appalled that after hitting 78000 miles, the car started mild rpm surging and am also being told I need a torque converter. I was impressed with another write up that I had the same experience, lots of $ to diagnose the problem. Interior plastic buttons for lights and vents, broke apart. Same experience as others. I have never replaced a transmission on a car in my entire life. This is so discouraging.

Have had this MDX for 7 years. Great car. The tranny has been slipping under load (hill) for a while and the dealer can not find the problem. Going in for a timing belt this week and I hope they find the tranny issue this time. Love to buy another but the $$$ is crazy.

Will buy one all over again

My 2001 MDX is nearly 7 years old and has 180,000 miles. Looks like new. I don't consider the 100,000 mile tune up at $1500 a big tag item to keep this baby on the road. Did get a new tranny during the recall a few years back and that is okay. If I am ever in a place to need a new car, I will go for a used 2006 MDX. But at the rate mine is going, I should be able to get another 100K out of her easy.

Now this car is one story. The build quality is extraordinary. We got the thing used, four years strong and we still haven't needed to get it repaired. The tires get replaced soon though. The comfort is okay, the leather interior is nice, but the third row seat in the back is not made for adults! The reliability is good, too. It is there for us every time. Fuel economy is not too bad. 20 mpg average. Better than we all expected. Just be careful of that trip computer. Very fragile. Plus, for some odd reason, the radio's LCD starts blanking out in the summer. It always returns after a firm hold on it. Nice car.

Bought my 2001 MDX back in 2003. Have never had any major problems with it. I love the MDX, very sporty for the money. Engine light came on and took it to the dealer. It needs a new transmission. It only has 79,000 miles on it. I have followed all the maintenances on it, changed the oil every 3,000 miles. Just so discouraged at this point. Not sure how this happened.

We bought this car to replace a Dodge Caravan (yeah, I know). It is an excellent car as far as looks and overall driving goes. However, for the large price, it has had a surprising amount of problems. We have had to get multiple things fixed. It now has around 92000 miles on it, and it has broken a couple of times. It has good acceleration with the V6, and is a solid performer (good handling, acceleration). The interior has had a few problems (seats falling apart, window motors breaking) but overall it is a roomy comfortable car. Gas mileage is okay but it has a large tank. It is a very wide car though, feels a little sluggish after driving sedans, but is safe.

I have been driving this car for a month and I can't believe the comfort, driving control. It feels like a sedan to drive and it is 2001.

I purchased this vehicle with about 56000 miles a couple years ago. I have had no issues other than a small coolant leak which was covered under warranty. The car is smooth riding and fun to drive. I pulled a 20 ft boat with ease, I could not even tell it was behind me. I even took it on some light 4 wheel drive excursions and it performed great. Plenty of room for 7 passengers. Gas economy is about average on mine, clocking in at around 18 mpg. I do have a few gripes. Mirror weeps after washing vehicle causing serious water spots down the side of the car when you drive it after washing. Also, some annoying rattles which went away after purchasing new tires. Great SUV.

I wish I could be more constructive, but it is hard to think of anything wrong with this vehicle. We were faced with the decision of buying a new, midscale SUV, or a used, upscale one like an MDX. Boy, are we glad we bought the MDX. If we didn't know, we'd think it was brand new. Do the homework, and you'll find that the MDX offers the most interior room (including a 3rd row seat) in a package that is still midsized. If you want the ability to haul kids all around town in a safe, AWD SUV, but don't want a Yukon or Expedition, then this is the rig for you. There is no comparison to the RX 300, which is tiny compared this this (on the inside).

We bought the MDX over the BMW X5 only because of the third row seating. We loved the car untill 90k miles. We have replaced two front struts $700, two motor mounts $600, SRS electronic part $520, spark plugs - Acura wanted hundreds to do them so I did the work. Timing belt and 110k service was over $1000. I am tired of the warning lights comming on every time I turn around. Only dealer can turn them off. My miles are 90% highway on the Acura.

Excellent vehicle for city drivers who need a large car. Runs smoothly and has huge carrying capacity. It is not a good 4x4. My previous car, a jeep grand cherokee, was far superior off- road. The Acura transmission overheated on one trip (luckily it has a light on the dash that warns you). On another the power steering failed (luckily the new steering rack was under warranty). The huge coil spring on one of the wheels even broke going over a regular pothole. It is rather delicate, not rugged. But if you keep it on paved roads you will enjoy the smooth ride, quiet engine, easy to use rear seats and cargo room.

The Jeep Cherokee leaked oiil after 3 years and quit running whenever it felt like it, the S-10 Blazer was ok, but was under powered and nearly roled me over when I got T- boned from someone doing about 15 MPH.

I have enjoyed my MDX but I have had a transmission failure at 36,000 miles. Acura did not cover the failure because they stated that I had a third party transmission cooler placed that voided their wonderful warranty. The AAMCO dealer that replace the transmission for $6000 told me that the cooler was not the problem. I have also had a friend that had a transmission failure at $40,000 miles. The local Acura dealer was not only unhelpful but downright indignant.

There are three small details I've had with my MDX. 1.- Wind whistles into the cabin at high speeds 2.- Driver's seat is not very good for long roadtrips. 3.- A/C fan switch is not easy to use. The only other comment is about its towing capacity. I purchased the towing package (which by the way, all accs. are very expensive) and can only tow about 3,000#. If you plan to tow a small boat, or anything else, look for something else. Off-road is so-so. It VTM-Lock allows for front wheel slip while not really locking the back tires. If you dont toe and dont off-road, this is the best SUV you can buy

Appealed to Acura and dealer for something more, since I am a 15-year customer of this dealer. They said, "No thanks." I questioned trying a first year model, in 2001. Know that replacement tranny was not immeidiately available when my repair was done Dec.'02. Seems that Acura is having more wide spread trouble with the MDX than they will admit. Acura extended warrany from 50,000 mi. to 100,000 mi. on the tranny of another model. Not for '01 MDX. Buyer be ware.

I purchased this vehicle from Carmax and it has been a workhorse. I also purchased the extended warranty and have had to use it once (engine mount & AC system). I may never purchase another brand again!

I must have a lemon. The transmission had to be completely replaced after six months. The brakes are extremely noisy and make a consistant clunking sound every time you shift. Acura claims this isn't a safety issue and I agree. It is,however, annoying and loud and makes the vehicle sound cheap, which at $40,000 dollars,itis not. These experiences have provided a very disappointing experience, especially since this is an Acura. I got more reliability from an Explorer.

We've owned several different makes of high-end SUV's and the MDX is the best. When all aspects of ownership are considered; price, size, performance, comfort, resale, etc, the only thing that comes close is the Lexus LX470 and it's cost is considerable higher. The NAV system is the best, we travel extensively and wouldn't be without it. We've had it off-road and while not a true "rock-hopper" it does very well. In the snow & ice it really shines. We're very pleased with our purchase.

I did a lot of research before buying this vehicle. I have not been disappointed! It is fun to drive, nice to look at, and the resale value ain't bad either. I am starting to look at another vehicle, a 04 MDX. I just have to have that back up camera! Do not doubt this one, buy it!

I have read there is Chrysler like Tranny probs with this and other Acura models. I have 100,000 miles on mine. Theres danger in your future. Dealer in VA tells me it's common!

This is a vehicle for someone who cares about the quality (and by quality I mean the Consumer Reports, the reliability, the high resale, the inexspensive replacement parts, the excellent highway safety reviews) of a vehicle and not the logo on the hood. If you want to impress the Joneses, buy a BMW or a Mercedes, but if you want a car that's leaps-and-bounds above those names, get this one.

my acura had a faulty gas tank (could only pump .10 cents of gas at a time) that to my knowledge is the only one ever totally replaced and had to have roof liner taken out the first week to fix "chirping" in the sunroof. since then, have had lots of smaller issues- noises when braking, FOUR front dash vents have fallen out, transmission problems at 38-42 mph., and popping behind glove box.

Our car is great it has been on many road trips. It seems to be holding up well. The only complaint I have it the exterior dents very easily and the black paint scratches easily. Some scratches are unavoidable with black, but Honda black never seems to keep it's luster for very long. I was hoping they would use a better paint on the Acura but it is the same as our Honda. I have a black BMW and it does not look as bad as the MDX. It seems to be holding up in every other way. Great vehicle!

I have owned my MDX for just over two years now logging 39,000 miles. Before I purchased it, I looked at all the mid-size luxury SUVs available, including BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Lexus--I have not been disappointed in my selection. It's been a teriffic vehicle--comfortable, powerful, efficient, reliable, versatile and stylish (conservatively so). I have owned Acura/Honda vehicles for more than twenty years now and will continue to own them as long as they continue to offer the same performance and reliability.

I have owned my MDX for 2 years now. I was originally attracted to it because of the amazing price-feature ratio and the excellent test drive I had. You can turn this car completely around in less space than just about all sedans. The MDX accelerates and drives very smoothly - I am always out of stoplights way ahead of other cars and I'm not trying to race or anything, its just natural to go up to 45 in a few seconds in this car.

Honda has long been known for quality and 2001 filled my dreams when they entered the SUV market in a big way. I was set to purchase a Lexus 300 and am soo glas I had waited the estra year. MDX is dollar for dollar a much better product! The MDX is luxurious, comfortable, powerful and drives like a car with the benefits of the SUV. It's disign is solid with small things like where the Homelink buttons are located set it above.

Purchased new in 2000. Nothing but praise for Acura and this vehicle ever since. Our family has really enjoyed the MDX. There is plenty of room for all passengers and their gear while keeping them comfortable and safe. Still amazed by the sheer volume of interior room compared to the outside size. We get 25 MPG on the highway and its ULEV.

Test drove and personally rated about a half dozen mid-sized SUVs in fall 2000. Selected MDX over others for basically 3 reasons - best/most useable room for hauling (make 16-20 trips/year of 600-800 miles carrying lots; hauling stuff in-town), ULEV rating, and best value compared to others driven. Perspective - previous car Toyota MR2!

We are complaetely satified with our MDX. A perfect mix between luxury car and useful SUV. Handles great, extremely comfortable, and quiet. I think the milage is great for a vehicle of this size- it gets over 22 mpg highway. Also, we do use the Nav system all the time- a great system! The only thing I miss is that low-end punch you get from a V-8. Definitely not the last one we will buy.

I waited 4 months for my dream MDX and I'm pleased with it. Minor issues-- the steering wheel radio controls have been repaired/replaced twice and still don't work right. Not keen on the sheer amount of bass coming out of the sound system either. Car handles well in all weather and road conditions. It's a heavy vehicle so it's not as nimble as some similar size SUVs but it's solid, stable, and dependable. Vehicle holds 7 people easily although the third row is not comfy for anyone over 5 foot. Overall, one of the best vehicles I've ever owned.

The MDX rides pretty smoothly. Also has decent pickup. I think the handling is decent. Purposely drove it at a high rate of speed to test braking and maneuverability. Although lane change is not as smooth as in a car. It is a lot smoother than most other trucks I have driven.(Rx300,Chevy Blazer, Pathfinder and a Passport) Of course I don't recommend anyone trying this. One complaint. I was told that on hills the MDX had some sort of mechanism to help stop roll back. I was on a (not so) steep hill earlier and I happen to take my foot of the brake. Immediately the truck began to roll backwards down the hill. SO much for that anti roll back feature.

It's excellent in the snow. The leather is holding up well. It's a perfect car for my family--we have 2 preteen kids. There are plenty of cupholders and lots of room for their friends. A great car.

I shopped the RX300 and X5 along with the MDX (excluded the ML320 because of reported reliability horrors). For the price, the other two couldn't compare. Although I heard stories about price- gouging and rude dealer behavior, my experience at Jeffrey Acura in Roseville, Michigan was perfect. Since obtaining it, I have gone on several road trips, endured two winters, and moved to a new state. The MDX performed perfectly in all conditions and can really haul a load of stuff! This is my 7th Acura, but not my last.

Collected my (wife's) MDX from Houston - Nav. system was perfect for my return to Manhattan. Average speed something north of legal, fuel better than 23MPG. Next, we (wife, mother-in-law, baby, 2 cats, 12 fish and loads of luggage) drove to our new home in Houston. Again - high speed, great mileage. Since then - to Raleigh NC.

We have owned our MDX for about 14 months now and driven it in all kinds of weather & conditions. It is a superior piece of engineering and drives beautifully. It was rated as the top luxury SUV by Motor Trend, Road & Track and Car & Driver and well deserved. With the large cargo area and the fold up rear seats, it is the perfect family vehicle. Seating configuration changes in a matter of seconds. All other options are well thought out. We had a DVD system with an 8" wide screen added which is great for trips....

This is truly an excellent vehicle. Fit and finish are flawless. The engine is very responsive, has plenty of power, and transfers that power to the wheels very well. I am averaging 16-17 mpg in town, and over 23 on the highway. The ride is somewhat firm, but without letting you feel excessively jarred or beat up. Handling is also tight and responsive. The Navigation package could use a little improvement. Overall, in my opinion, Acura has a winner here.

My wife and I had narrowed it down to a MDX, a Pathfinder LE, and a 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer/Limited. The MDX worked out to about $10k more than the others, and we're both very happy we spent the money. The SUV has LOTS of room, the third row seats work very well. We've had flawless operation since new. All in all, this isn't the best in any one area (others are faster, bigger, smaller etc), but the best combination of featers for those looking for an SUV that won't be visiting the Rubicon Trail too often!
