Consumer Description

WE TOOK OUR 2005 MDX (89K MILES) FOR THE TORQUE CONVERTER RECALL ABOUT A MONTH AGO. AFTER THEY "FIXED IT" WE NOTICED IT WAS STILL SHUTTERING. SO, WE TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY REMOVED THE TRANSMISSION, REPLACED A FEW OTHER THINGS AND THE SHUTTER WENT AWAY. THAT WAS 3 WEEKS AGO. TODAY, I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE D5 LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. IN REVIEWING OTHER INTERNET POSTS, IT CAN MEAN THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT OR A SWITCH IS OVERHEATING/FAILING. I'M NOT EXPERIENCING ANY OTHER PROBLEMS SO HE SAID THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE SWITCH AND THAT SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS WHEN A TRANSMISSION IS REMOVED AND PUT BACK IN. SO, I TOOK IT INTO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO IT. ON THE PHONE, I SAID "IT WOULDN'T COST ANYTHING TO GET THE SWITCH REPLACED...RIGHT?" HE WENT ON TO SAY WELL IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEN YES. I'M GOING TO FIGHT THIS ONE FOR SURE...THEY HAD TO PULL THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER RECALL....I'M SURE THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING IT....IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT 3 WEEKS AFTER THEY WORKED ON THE TRANSMISSION THAT NOW IT THE D5 LIGHT IS BLINKING? I DON'T THINK SO. *TR
