Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 ACURA MDX AND IN RECENT DAYS HAVE EXPERIENCED A FLUTTERING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AT SPEEDS AROUND 30 MPH WITH HESITATION IN ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER. I HAVE DONE MUCH RESEARCH AND HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ALARMINGLY COMMON AND POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED THOUGH THE RISKS ARE SEVERE AND THE HIGH PERCENTAGE OF INCIDENTS CERTAINLY QUALIFIES FOR A RECALL. NOT MUCH INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED TO DETERMINE THAT ACTION SHOULD AND MUST BE TAKEN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER AND FOR THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
