Consumer Description

AM A SECOND OWNER OF 2001 ACURA MDX WITH 84,000 MILES, OWNED SINCE APPROX 35000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING HOME THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP, CAUSING HIGHER THAN NORMAL ENGINE SPEED WHILE UP SHIFTING. DOWN SHIFTING WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP CAUSED SUDDEN AND SEVERE ENGINE BRAKING AND VERY ROUGH SHIFTING. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. NO PRIOR ISSUES NOTICED, AND VEHICLE HAD MAJOR SCHEDULED SERVICE IN THE PAST. TOOK TO LOCAL INDEPENDENT SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED TRANSMISSION WAS A TOTAL LOSS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. CONTACTED ACURA CLIENT SERVICES, AND TOOK TO DEALER WHO WILL ONLY COVER 25% OF REPAIR. MY COST WOULD BE NEARLY $4000. THIS TRANSMISSION HAD A SERVICE RECALL IN 2004, BUT REPAIR DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A GOOD ONE. TRANSMISSION DESIGN APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE.*TR
