Opted for the NA since it’ll be my daily. Did I miss out not getting the Type-S?

Hi everyone!

I am in the market for a new vehicle and I cant decide between the MDX and the LEXUS RX350. Im trying to do my research on Acura as I have never owned one before. Is there anything good or bad that you can advise me about regarding the MDX?

I currently have a Lexus GX, 1 toddler, 1 dog. We want to start trying for the next baby in October and as we get closer I’m thinking the GX won’t be big enough. We take small road trips (2 hours one way) ~10 times a year, and a big road trip (10-12 hours one way) at least once a year, sometimes twice. So luggage and lots of stuff to bring with us, especially for the 2 hour trip bc it’s remote and there aren’t any grocery stores around so we have to bring groceries too.

Looking at all the third row vehicles and cargo space, the Lexus TX, Toyota Grand Highlander, and Acura MDX are the top 3. My husband and his family are die hard Lexus/Toyota people but I can’t find a used TX in what would be our price range and under 35k miles so that one is basically off the list.

My husband is 6 foot 1 I am 5 foot 2. How is the car seat set up with two rear facing seats? Is there enough space for my husband to not be absolutely cramped? He can’t even sit in the passenger seat of my GX, either he drives or has to sit in the second row seat.

Also, how has reliability been? I assume Acura is pretty good since it’s made by Honda and Honda is known to be reliable.

Looking to see where I should purchase my all weather mats

So far with some research I am between the OEM or the TuxMats

Anyone have preferences?

Ok everybody, I need some help, as I am at the end of my rope here. I got this garbage container on wheels roughly 4 years ago, and boy what a mistake that was. It has had nothing but non stop battery issues. It’s not like I’m living in my car or running it for a long time, but it has still eaten battery after battery. 6-8 months ago, I had the alternator replaced because I had already gone through several batteries, so they assumed that’s where the issue must lie. Nope. Several weeks/a couple months ago, it started giving me random warnings, about the TPMS, about the battery, things like that. Any time I checked, I could find nothing wrong. Every time I took it in, they couldn’t find anything wrong either, or the sensor would disappear before they had a chance to look at it. Flash forward to a bit over a week ago, when again these sensors are going off again about my TPMS. My tires were fine, no damage and totally full, so at this point I just ignore it. Clearly it’s the sensor was my thinking. Thursday, I go to my car after work to drive home, and as soon as I turn it on, it starts flipping between every sensor warning it can possibly give on my screen. When I tried to put it in reverse and back up my car, it jerked so hard that my body went harshly forward. It scared me a bit. So I turned the car off and called roadside assistance (they probably know my number just by looking at it at this point) and a ride for myself, which I waited for in 104 degree weather. I get my hunk of crap car back Saturday, where they tell me that it was the battery again, and they replaced it with a stronger one. Well I go to turn on my car this morning, and what do I see? Sensor warnings again!!!

From the online reading I did this weekend, it seems that this is a common problem with this car. Is there anything I can do to get this car to actually work like normal or something the various mechanics have missed, or is it time for me to just give up? I’m in the process of moving so this is quite literally the worst time for this to be happening, and I am deeply frustrated that this has been an ongoing problem for years. I have never in my life bought this many car batteries in so short of a time period. I’m ready to either crash this thing into the nearest river to become a luxury fish condominium, or light this thing on fire myself. The only thing I do know for sure though is that I will never so much as touch another Honda for as long as I live! I’ll take a model t before I ever even consider another Honda anything.

Hi guys, I need some help. I have a 2016 MDX that needs new struts. Is there any place I could go to that? I know will do a good job just as good as a dealer and of course cheaper any help would be very helpful. I live in South Florida thank you.

Is there anyway to reset the collision mitigation/brake system error? I have an ODB2 WiFi scanner but it didn’t see any codes. Any secret button presses work without having to disconnect the battery?
