Our 2014 MDX brakes began vibrating around 9,000 miles. I am not a hard driver and was surprised that a new vehicle would have this issue. Discussed with dealership, they said rotors are probably warped due to overheating, but they wouldn't acknowledge any common problem with 2014 MDX. Vibration and whole car shimmying has continued to get worse. Driving down CO I-70 after Eisenhower tower, whole car began shimmying so bad I thought I might lose control. Had brakes inspected and told the rotors are badly warped.
Called Acura and they refuse to even help with having rotors re-surfaced, continue to state this is not covered by warranty. I was told by Flatirons Acura dealer that Acura has usually covered one rotor resurfacing. Given the numerous other complaints from 2014 MDX owners and speaking with the dealer, this seems to be a design flaw with the new model (plus it is supposedly rated to tow 5000 lbs).
Would be nice if Acura would acknowledge and stand behind their brand. I will be selling my MDX and going back to Toyota.
