I saved my ADS shocks, when I converted to the base version, last March.
Both of the fronts made noise (the left more so) and one of those leaked.
Both rears leaked a lot.
I'll put the bad ADS shocks back, over the Holidays and see if all 4 qualify for replacement.
Usually, when the customer is paying the dealer wants to replace the shocks in pairs.
I wonder if they will say one of mine is still good.

I re-installed the ads shocks and drove it for a week.
I took it in and said that there is a clunk sound coming from both front shocks, when I go over speed bumps and when I drive slow in a parking lot.
When I rotated my tires, my rear shocks were wet and oily looking.
Acura said all four qualified. They replaced them and aligned the car.
Zero out of pocket and now I have a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty.
My non-ads shocks are now in storage.

Try looking on MDXERS dot org
I think I saw someone else's letter, for 2010-2013 models, but I can't look it up, because I got banned for life.
Hopefully, I don't get banned from here, because honda-tech dot com doesn't have much mdx info.

I bought my mdx used with leaking ads shocks.
I switched to 17" rims and have more rubber/air to absorb bumps.
I installed the regular shocks with the resistors and drove on them for several months.
I got my warranty extension letter.
I put my ads shocks back on.
New ads shocks, with a 12 month warranty were installed.
The regular shocks were stiffest, followed by sport mode, then comfort mode.
I don't drive the mdx like a sports car, so I can't talk about cornering performance.
For the price, I won't pay for ads when the blow out.
