| This noise is driving me crazy. Sounds like something is loose and hitting something. When I hit the 2nd row driver side seat, the noise can be heard. Anyone have similiar experience and solution? The dealer was unable to correct the problem. They said this occurs in all leather seats. |

| Are you sure it's not the seat belt hitting up against the pillar? It sometimes gets twisted between the seat and the pillar. I've been known to pull over no matter where I am to untwist that. It drives me nuts....... |

| It's not that. The noise occurs even all the belts are buckled in. It has something to do with the hinges. When the seats are down flat, it does not make this noise. Thanks for your input anyway. |

I have a 2006 MDX, and like many other people on this board, have been driven nuts with rattles -- all over the car -- including coming from the 2nd row seats. Other rattles include from the dash, from the driver side door, and from the dvd/sunroof area (which makes a kind of fluttering sound EVERY time I go over moderate to large bumps in the road, which is very often).
Unfortunately, I've been to 2 separate dealers, several times each, and the rattles remain. They've been kind enough to ride in the car with me, but of course, the rattles never appear when I'm riding with an Acura serviceperson. They've replaced my sunroof visor and dvd screen, and looked all over the 2nd row seats, and taken the driver door apart and put it back together, and tightened/secured everything they could around or in the dash -- but the noises persist.
I have seen many people complain of rattle problems on this board, but no postings of solutions. Suffice to say, while this car does have many nice attributes, I'm extremely disappointed with the noises it makes -- not what one would expect from a luxury SUV costing in excess of $45K. I guess it's time just to live with the rattles; it appears to just be a very poorly designed car.
However - if anyone reading this has had success with quieting rattles, please do post for everyone's benefit. |

| I share your frustration. One would think a car costing this much would be made better. However, the last couple of days, I have been reading the Lexus and BMW forums and those SUV have many noise problems too. It appears the drop in quality applies to all brands. |

My 2003 second row seat rattles. Lots of MDXs have it. It is designed in.
Try tilting it back one notch and putting something that weighs a few pounds on it.
My rattle is on the right side. If the seat is straight up, it rattles lots. If it's back a notch, it doesn't rattle too much.

I hope the 2007 fixes it. |
