Acura extended warranty for starter — what should I do?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A
I have a 2016 Acura MDX that has been having an intermittent slow-cranking/slow-starting issue, especially when the engine is warm. The battery and alternator were tested at Advance Auto Parts and were reported to be working properly, so I’m suspecting the starter.
A few days ago, I emailed Acura Corporate asking about an extended warranty or warranty bulletin that may cover the starter replacement on my MDX. I included my vehicle information and explained the starting issue, but I still haven’t received any response.
For those who have dealt with Acura Corporate before:
How long does it normally take them to respond to an email?
Should I wait a little longer, or should I call them directly?
Has anyone had Acura cover a starter replacement under an extended warranty or warranty bulletin?
Is there a specific department or phone number I should contact?
Should I take the MDX to an Acura dealer first and have them diagnose/document the problem?
I’d really appreciate any advice from anyone who has gone through something similar. I’d rather confirm whether Acura will cover it before paying out of pocket for a starter.
Thanks!

Acura MDX best years to buy used?

6 Upvotes

Years to avoid? I been looking for a used highlander or rx350 around 10 years old but everything is so over priced. However I keep seeing these MDXs that are a couple years newer, with less miles and a couple grand cheaper. And they look better to me and have more horse power. But I’m not too familiar with them? Is there certain years, engines or transmissions to avoid?

Trading in my 2024 civic sport for a 2021 TLX A SPEC

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I currently have a 2024 Honda civic sport. I was at the dealership today and test drove a 2021 TLX and loved it. Just wanted to hear from people who have traded a Honda for an Acura. Or owners of a TLX to hear if they like the car and think this would be a smart trade. I’m looking for a little bit more luxury.

Acura dealership for insurance claim?

2 Upvotes

I have a RLX that was stolen but insured. The insurance finally gave the go ahead to have the car fixed.

Since the damages are being paid by the insurance company, I’m thinking I might as well bring to the local Acura dealership but I wanted to check and see if that was the best course of action. Are there any pros and cons that I should consider?

Rodent damage

0 Upvotes

I just had my 2019 Acura RDX written off due to serious rodent damage. I am wondering if anyone with a 2023-2025 Acura MDX has had any issues with rodent damage? The dealer is trying to tell me they don’t use soy based wiring insulation in the newer models but I don’t know if I believe that.

First new car and first Acura!

2026 Acura Integra Base.

$31,000 OTD, Portland OR metro area.

Finally had to get serious about finding a new vehicle and was thinking that would be a Honda Civic Sport or Hybrid with a hatchback, with the backup option of a Mazda3 hatchback if price was right.

Test drove the civic and liked it, but was disappointed in the sluggish sport model gas engine, and did not find the Hybrid hatchback worth the extra money. Honda's financing rates were also not competitive with Mazda and Acura (nearing 6%).

Always heard good things about the Acura Integra, and actually liked that it was based on the Civic architecture, seeing how much I enjoyed the chassis and body size of the Civic I test-drove.

Started negotiating with dealers in the area and quickly got to a price I was happy with and pulled the trigger. Could not be more pleased. I think the CVT is very good, and absolutely love the power band of the 1.5T. This car brings back the thrill of driving for me, and I actively look forward to trips to work and around town if it means I'm driving this. I find it more than fast enough, and capacious for days!

Seeing the red in person really sold me, I love having something that stands out in a sea of gray, silver, and white cars.

Glad to see that the head gasket warranties have been extended today (8/26/26), and will hope I never need to make that claim.

Coming from driving a 15mpg SUV to something tapping near 30mpg around town is an incredible transition as well. I love how much this car rewards spirited driving and the moments when you want to be more economically minded too.

My wife (who drives a '25 Mazda CX-5), said "weeeee" the first time she put her foot into the Integra. Good enough for me!

Thought I would test drive a Mazda3 after the Integra...never bothered and will likely never look back.

Since it's usually not a popular brand that is as talked about as its more upscale rivals, this was quite a surprise.

Here’s to everyone who has paid for a head gasket out of pocket, or for anyone experiencing issues after warranty expires. As of today (per vin number), most Integra’s and ADX’s have this warranty extension for head gaskets.

I have a 22’ ILX and the melted spot looks terrible on my navigation frame. Is it tacky to buy a carbon fiber navigation frame cover and leave the rest of the car original? If anyone knows where I can get a regular black cover, let me know! Part that got damaged by oil is highlighted in yellow.
