ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY MECHANIC DETERMINED MY FRONT AND SIDE MOTOR MOUNTS NEED REPLACING, AND MENTIONED IT BEING COMMON IN MY VEHICLE. I'VE SINCE FOUND OTHERS WITH ACURA MDXS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NEVER NEEDED MOUNTS REPLACED IN ANY OTHER VEHICLES OWNED. I BELIEVE IT TO BE AN INHERENT DEFECT ACURA MUST ADDRESS.
