problem #1

Nov 092003

MDX 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50 miles
A loud "droning" sound comes out at 2,000-2,200 mph, especially loud at approximately 40-45 mph. Dealership and manufacturer say that this is a "natural sound" of the 2004 MDX. I do not buy this explanation it is hard to believe that an expensive SUV such as this would have a "natural sound" like this loud droning sound. It is very loud especially during cold weather. They insist that this is related to the new dual exhaust system of the 2004 MDX. What if it is engine or transmission related?
