Issues(Resolved?):
- Battery drain... goes dead if not driven in 4 days (which is often for me, self-employed, work from home, or on week+ long biz trips, car needs to start when I get back to my home airport!). Just unplugged the handsfreelink module, hopefully that's the problem.
- Passenger door lock does not lock/unlock electronically. Probably a bad solenoid - finding/replacing that is next weekend's project
- Headlights are full of moisture, plan to replace those, eventually
- HVAC fan cuts in and out randomly when on high
- Still learning all the ins and outs - which is why I'm here on the forum!

Thank you for the welcome. I posted a thread on the MDX forum and the system rejected the thread. Not sure what your comment was regarding posting a thread in the 'technical' area, but it did not seem to work. Advice please. Thank you. Harrisroad1

2012 MDX Advance
To matts6887:
You might want to check the vehicle maintenance record for engine oil consumption. I am in the habit of checking the oil/fluid levels in all my vehicles once in two weeks, therefore, was able to discern the engine oil consumption on my MDX and report it to the dealership. Otherwise, I am unsure of how anyone can tell if the engine is consuming oil or not. When you go in for an engine oil change to your dealership or local mechanic, when the buzzer goes off and oil life shows 15% - 0%, the oil remaining in the sump is drained and new oil put in. Unless regularly checked, an owner/driver cannot tell if the engine has consumed more than the recommended/designed oil over a certain mileage and oil life percentage. Notwithstanding, based upon the oil life percentage when you check the vehicle you intend to get and the colour of the engine oil, it would probably do you good to find a way to ascertain if the engine is consuming oil. There is currently a service bulletin out by Honda/Acura to fix the problem. Good luck. Harrisroad1

Sperry in da' house!
Greetings, all!
In 2010 I was gifted an abused and ignored '00 TL. Nursed *her* back to perfect form and drove 70k flawless miles over three years. Traded the car when I needed a truck; 13 year old engine sounded better, like a precision sewing machine, than the brand new 4.8L V8 L20 engine in my truck. I hesitated but concluded the deal with the belief, I'll Be BACK ...
After much consideration I'v concluded the MDX perfect for road trips and car camping. So a G2 RDX is likely in my future. I've done a bit of wrenching in my day but this time I'll be looking for issues to avoid, things to check on to see if they were already addressed.
Thank you in advance for your patience.
