Went to dealer and they said vehicle has bad engine mounts, and need to be replaced. note that we also have a 2004 honda pilot, and the dealer also told us that some engine mounts needs replacement. we checked some blogs for acura mdx and honda pilot owners, and found a lot of owners with same issues. some are being replaced every two years. we onwed a v6 toyota for 15 years, never had this issue. we hope nhtsa will check this, because it is a known issue to owners and acura/honda will never admit. i'm sure if nhtsa will get repair records for this "engine mount" issues, it will be a lot. from what i read, this affects drive shafts due to excessive movement of the engine. *tr
