My 2001 acura mdx driver side door won't close

My acura mdx door wont close. After driving i simply got out and when i went to shut the door, it banged on the latch and the door bounced back open (almost like having the seat belt in the way of the door). Didn't do anything different with the vehicle today. Not sure what caused this or how to fix it. Any advice appreciated

THE DOOR CATCH HAS A DOUBLE "C" THAT HOLDS THE DOOR CLOSED. FIRST TAKE A SCREWDRIVER INSIDE THE "C". USING THE HANDLE ON THE INSIDE, PULL THE HANDLE AS IF YOU WERE OPENING THE DOOR AND AT THE SAME TIME, OPEN THE DOUBLE "C" WITH THE SCREWDRIVER. I HOPE THIS HELPS. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO KEEP ME POSTED. GOOD LUCK

Testimonial: "it worked! thank you."

Thank you for posting this. On my 2009 MDX all I had to do was use the exterior door handles like I was opening the door. I appreciate having a place to start!

How to get the metal piece of the seat belt unstuck from the passenger door on a 2013 Acura MDX? The door will not open

With the door unlocked, have someone stand out side with the handle lifted and from the inside, and with the driver door locked, lay across the seats and push with your feet. If it closed, it has to open.

2001 Acura MDX replace sunroof instructions

If the bare glass is needed to be replaced, there should be 4 screws. 2 on each side at the front and rear that needs to be removed. Should be fairly easy to access and remove from the inside with the roof closed.

My husband said that the VTM-4 light is on in his 2001 Acura MDX. We were on our way to the transmission shop because the transmission is being rebuilt. What causes this light to come on?

the VTM-4 relates to torque management for the 4 wheel drive / all wheel drive part of the transmission. I have had people tell me more than once that that VTM-4 issue went away after having the cylinder head valves adjusted.
A little google search may back this up.

I have an 03 mdx and the drivers side door has always rattled when closed. is this something that can be fixed or have to live with?

It should be fixed. If it rattles, something is loose and deterioration will happen, over time..And that noise is NOT why you bought that car.
