Consumer Description

ON 4/2/2009 THE FRONT END OF MY 2002 ACURA MDX SEIZED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH LOCKING UP THE FRONT END CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SKID 5-7 FEET TO A HALT. IT TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FIXED PER THE RECALL UNDER CAMPAIGN NUMBER 04V176000 WAS THE ISSUE. IT WAS A GEAR FAILURE THAT RESULTED IN TRANSMISSION LOCKUP. AS THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AN ACCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR; HOWEVER, THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ADDRESSED AND IT APPEARS IT WASN'T. ACURA STATES THE ISSUE WAS FIXED IN 2004 AND AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THERE ARE DOZENS OF SIMILAR TESTIMONIALS OF THIS EXACT OCCURRENCE ON ONLINE FORUMS. ACURA DENIED THE EXISTENCE OF AN ISSUE AND I FEEL THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN THAT REQUIRES FURTHER ACTION. *TR
