Original Comment I was completely in the dark about Acura's sexist attitude towards women, until I read these post. It's so frustrating and irritating that no on EVER LISTENS! Since February I've had my 2014 MDX at Mueller Acura dealership in Merrillville Indiana, more times than I'd like. Each time I had the same complaint..a loud squeaky noise from the front driver side tire. I replace the sway bar, front arm, brakes, all at a total of $2500. Guess what, the noise was still there. That's when I asked. If I was being linked or do they just take advantage of women because they think they won't know any better?! They finally replace the caliper and supposedly rotor for free since I'd been there NUMEROUS times with the same complaint. At one point the service manager said the mechanic would ride with me to hear the noise. He initially refused!! I bet if I was a blond haired blue eyed woman with white skin he would've jumped in the car immediately. Eventually he did get in the car, told me it was the brakes. So I replaced the brakes, guess what, noise continued! <br /> <br /> Side note, I had to have a friends mechanic husband ride in the car with me , so maybe he could tell me what the noise was. He was able to tell me and write down what to do and told me to take it back to Acura. That's when they replaced the caliper.<br /> <br /> Then I take my MDX to a random shop to get the A/C looked at and immediately after the overall inspection, the guy tells me the tie rod had to be turned 3 times and the basin that hold everything together was missing 3 out of 4 screws! If the tie rod had come apart, I would've been in big trouble. Who follows up after their mechanics are done? Are there protocols? Or if the mechanic says he's done that's it?! He had me take pictures and told me to return to Acura for an alignment. Luckily it didn't need an alignment. <br /> <br /> But who looks out for MY SAFETY?! Is this all just a game to have me come back to spend more money? All I've heard is &quot;well your car is older now&quot;! So then I guess I'm supposed to be okay with all the weird noises that I've never heard before? Really?!!<br /> <br /> Fast forward to July, 2021 and I'm hearing the same noise now on the front passenger side. They only replaced the front driver side, and I get why they did that. But my luck, it's now on the passenger side. So I take it to Honda, they say they don't hear it and that the brakes are new. NO KIDDING!! <br /> <br /> Then I take it to a different Acura dealer, tell them about the driver side noise, asked them to change the caliper, and the mechanic cleans off the brake pads and says the noise stopped. HE LIED! The noise was the same as I drove off the lot and all the way home. I refuse to go back because now my trust has been broken. But again, I'm sure they could care less about this African American woman. <br /> <br /> This African American woman who is so tired and frustrated. It was my only day off and I thought that this would be a done deal. So I now refuse to go back to either Acura dealership and just find a mom and pop mechanic who works on Acura's. The sad thing is that I really like my car but will never buy another one because I don't want to give my business or money to people who don't value it or my safety! Good thing I value those thing for myself. What a sad world to live in where people's word and duty to do right, means nothing! I do have faith that I will find someone to fix my old car and keep it running for a few more years while I figure out my next car!
