2013 MDX Tech Rear Camera Defect

[bvpylant]

I just traded a 2011 Honda Pilot EXL Navi for a new MDX.

The rearview camera is almost useless at night. The image is grainy & very poor. I am forced to use the mirrors because of the shoddy rear backup lights. I have the brightness maxed out.

I have never had this problem with my 2011 Accord or the Pilot I traded in for the Acura.

When I talked to the salesman 2 days after my purchase he told me " this has been a known design issue for years"!

I am a loyal Honda owner since 1985. It disappoints me to know they would be so greedy as to produce an inferior component year after year.

Buyers Beware!

We just traded in my wifes 2010 TSX V6 on a 2013 MDX. The TSX back-up camera worked great at night. It was lit up like daytime. The MDX is terrible. Absolutely useless after dark.
