NHTSA Complaint #10407710 — 2004 ACURA MDX

MY 2004 ACURA MDX HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM AT 71,000 MILES. WHEN WE ARE AT LOW SPEEDS, 35 - 45 MPH THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO VIBRATE AS IF WE ARE GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS THE GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE HAVE TO FILL UP TWICE A WEEK TO DRIVE ROUGHLY 150 MILES. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2004-2006 MDX OWNERS WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT. SOME 2004 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT MINE. HOW CAN THEY ONLY RECALL SPECIFIC VIN'S AND NOT THE ENTIRE MODEL YEAR. THIS IS A FINANCIAL AND SAFETY CONCERN, ONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLES GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY AND THE TRANSMISSION COULD LOCK-UP OR OVERHEAT AT ANYTIME. *TR
