Known Issues
Sh-AWD System:
Potential for clunking or grinding noises from the rear differential/axles due to wear or lubrication issues. Regular fluid changes are critical.
Engine Mounts:
Premature wear of engine mounts can lead to increased vibration and noise.
Vcm System:
While the 2008 MDX uses a 3.7L non-VCM engine, earlier generations or other Honda/Acura models with VCM experienced issues like oil consumption and spark plug fouling. This is less of a concern for the 2008 MDX's specific engine.
Timing Belt Vs Chain:
The J37A2 engine utilizes a timing chain, which is generally maintenance-free and designed to last the life of the engine, unlike timing belts which require periodic replacement.
