| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | THE TRANSMISSION TO MY 2002 ACURA MDX STARTED TO MALFUNCTION ABOUT A WEEK AGO. IT STARTS TO SLIP FROM 1ST TO SECOND GEAR. I CALLED AN ACURA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN SERVICED AND COVERED THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT NOTHING WAS DONE AND ACURA IS TRYING TO PASS THE COST TO ME. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2002. *TR |
| 2003 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I OWN A 2003 ACURA MDX, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING OUT OF ORDER, I WENT TO WWW.ACURAMDX.ORG ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 MODEL, THE DEALER CHANGED THE FLUID AT AROUND 55,000 MILES AND I CHANGED IT AT 68,000 AND IT WAS DARK BROWN IN COLOR, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AT THE SITE SHARED BY MDX OWNERS. I FEEL THAT SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO HOW MANY OF THE ACURA MDX 2003 TRANSMISSION HAVE BEEN REPLACED UP TO THIS POINT, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 01 AND 02 MODELS WHICH CAUSED HONDA TO OFFER A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSIONS, I AM NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED FOR 2003 BUT I AM STARTING TO THINK THAT IS WAS NOT, AND SO ARE OTHERS ON THE SITE. I HAVE A FAMILY THAT RIDES AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD HATE FOR SOMETHING TO GO COMPLETELY WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION DURING ACTIVITY TIME OF THE DAY. THANK YOU *JB |
