2024 Acura MDX Type S — weird vibration only between 62–70 mph

QuattroMechanicish38Community StarterApr 8, 20262024 Acura MDX Type STexas
Car is smooth around town, but on the highway I get a vibration in the steering wheel and seat between about 62 and 70 mph. Above that it actually gets a little better. Tires look okay to me. Where would you start before I start throwing parts at it? Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2024 Acura MDX, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. On “weird vibration only between 62–70 mph,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. Two 2024 Acura MDXs can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. On “weird vibration only between 62–70 mph,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Acura MDX in Texas. Monthly payment math is how wallets disappear. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 2024 Acura MDX does it — then decide on parts. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. Only after sitting overnight so far.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Two 2024 Acura MDXs can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Monthly payment math is how wallets disappear. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. Heat soak after errands is the other window.
