Consumer Description

2002 MDX PURCHASED AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WITH 37K MILES. AT 55K MILES REPORTED TO DEALER A RUMBLING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER VEHICLE. DEALER TEST DROVE THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING. AT 65K MILES COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING, THEY FOUND NOTHING AND SUGGESTED TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE AND VTM FLUID CHANGE. I PERFORMED BOTH SERVICES. NOW AT 82K MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VTM4 LIGHT COME ON, I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION TO BE BAD. TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACE ON MONDAY THE 22ND OF SEP UNDER WARRANTY. WILL TRADE CAR AFTER THEY FIX IT BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST IT ANYMORE, JUDGING FROM ALL THE PROBLEMS EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE WITH 2002. ACURA SHOULD PAY FOR EVERYONE'S PROBLEMS REGARDING TRANSMISSION/ MOTOR MOUNTS FOR MODEL YEAR MDX 01-02. *TR
