Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2001 ACURA MDX WHICH HAS DEVELOPED A "SPEED BUMP" SHUDDER AT AROUND 30 MPH. THE ACURA DEALER DIDN'T MENTION THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AS I FOUND OUT AT THIS LINK --- HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX?14@@.F1775EB/461 --- THERE ARE MANY, MANY PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM DISCUSSING THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND COMMON. ACURA'S WAY OF FIXING THE ISSUE WAS TO GIVE US 15% OFF OF A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH IS NOT A VERY FRIENDLY WAY OF FIXING A PROBLEM WHICH HAS APPARENTLY BEEN IN THE CAR'S DNA SINCE IT WAS BUILT. WE THEN GOT A SOFTWARE UPDATE LETTER IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR FROM ACURA FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR A 2005 MDX WHICH WE NO LONGER OWN. ONE OF THE KEY LINES IN THE LETTER IS "THIS (FIX) CAN HELP PREVENT YOUR TRANSMISSION FROM BEING DAMAGED." WOW --- WILL IT TAKE A FAILED TRANSMISSION AND THE DEATH OF A FAMILY AS WITH THE TOYOTA DEBACLE TO GET THEM TO ACT RESPONSIBLY AND DO A VOLUNTARY RECALL ON ALL MDXS??!!
