| WHEN I START THE 2003 MDX THERE IS A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING SPINNING STILL FOR ABOUT 3 -4 SECONDS. I THOUGHT MAYBE ITS THE STARTER SOLENOID.??? |

I too have an '03.
When I went in for my 37,500 mile service, without asking, the dealer changed the starter motor.
He said there was a bulletin on it.
Covered under warranty.

| My starter is also making a grinding noise for a few seconds after I start it up. I'm scheduled to see a new dealer (moved a few months ago) and my 2003 MDX has 98,000 miles. What do you think...any chance my new dealer goes for a warranty item on this? Any suggestions on my approach to him? thanks |

| I posted on this issue a few months ago with my '03 also. I haven't done anything with it. It tends to be more pronounced when it is cold. I would be interested to know if there is a service bulletin on this. |

| I have an appointment at the dealership on Tuesday and will post the results. Keep your fingers crossed that it's a covered item and we can all get that annoying noise taken care of. |

| There is no bulletin for this problem. We've replaced many of these for the same problem though, covered under the normal 4/50 warranty. The bendix stays engaged too long which causes the whine/grind noise. |

| Thanks...that's exactly what the dealer said. Since my car was out of warranty ( 98,000 miles) it was all on me, to the tune of $570. OUCH |
