I'm so pissed right now! I've had my streak of bad luck today and on top of it all I have these problems with my car! I just hit 2500miles and for some odd reason, everything decided to do something @2500. I was driving to work and all of a sudden heard creaking noise from my seat and sunroof. I ignore it! I go to work for awhile and head for lunch....before so I get into a worthless argument with my wife....I head out with a few coworkers and when I get in and tried to start the car, it delayed to start for about 2 minutes (Like starting a car on a cold day!), it's kind of embarassing, especially how much comments I get from my coworkers about the car. I don't know what to do, is it to early to put in Mobil 1(someone told me to break in the car at 10K miles, than go to Mobil), should I ignore it and maybe it'll go away, or should I get on the phone and get a GS430? Aaaaaaaah! ****ing bad day!

 

Would you like to tell us what you and your wife were arguing about? We're listening....

 

I had a similar "cold start" problem this afternoon. I hope it does not get worse when it is actually cold, temperature was over 90ºF when I had the problem.

 

LoL.......You know it's that time of month and I just don't like being a punching bag and taking the hits for her little ordeal....
I cooled down and I decided I'll keep the car. I'll just ask the dealer @ 3000 mile check up. Oh and I might get a MDX (well my wife), her X5 caught on fire today.

 

what happened???

 

did the whole thing get on fire or it was only in the insides/

 

You'd better stay inside, watch out for black cats, through salt over your shoulder.... Kinda puts bad day in perspective...

 

The aux. fan in the engine caught on fire, I guess she went to lunch with another friend. As they were going in to go get lunch, she said she saw smoke. There were like 3 people running and telling her to open the hood and when they did, there was flames all in the engine bay. The store in front got the fire ex. and put it out. She called me then, she called roadside. I guess they said that the X5 3.0i were all having problems with this. It's in the shop getting fixed and she is more angered than ever. Do anyone of you own a MDX? If so how are they so far? Pisses me off, BMW claims Ultimate Driving Machine and charges well over 40K and they can't stop a engine from catching on fire!

 

were these involved in the recall with the 3 series?

 

that's what the dealer was saying. That they sent out letters and calls concerning this. The dealer said that I'm not the first, they had 6 incidents in the past 3 months....

 

Wow, this is not good. Things will get better.
