NHTSA Complaint #10386665 — 2005 ACURA MDX

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED . I DRIVE AN AVERAGE OF 80 MILES TO AND FROM WORK. MOST OF IT WAS HIGHWAY DRIVING. I WOULD NOTICE SOME HESITATION AT LOW SPEEDS IN ABOUT 50,000 MILES BUT WOULD GO AWAY. AT APPROXIMATELY 100,000 MILES THE PROBLEMS STARTED GETTING MORE NOTICEABLE.THE TIME LEADING TO THE EVENTUAL FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION WAS A SHUDDER DURING LOW SPEEDS BETWEEN 20 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR. THEN HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION AND THEN EVENTUAL SLIPPAGE OF THE GEARS WHICH ALMOST COST ME AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO EXIT RIGHT AWAY AND AVERT ANY DIFFICULTIES GETTING HELP AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHICH RECOMMENDED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. *TR
