Consumer Description

I HAVE AN ACURA 2004 MDX. 111,000 MILES. SERVICED AS DIRECTED. JUST REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM. ACURA HAD RECALLS BUT CLAIMED TO HAVE "FIXED" THE ISSUE. THERE IS NO WAY A PROPERLY MAINTAINED CAR SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL DONE. THE MAINSHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THE MECHANICS THAT DID THE WORK ARE EX ACURA MECHANICS. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS THE EXACT KINDS OF PROBLEM THEY REPLACED FOR YEARS ON MDX'S. I HAD TO HAVE AN ENTIRE NEW TRANSMISSION WITH MAIN SHAFT AND TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED. THIS COST ME $3,558.02. THIS IS WRONG. A CAR, ESPECIALLY A HIGH END CAR LIKE ACURA, SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE AN ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 111K MILES. IT WAS UNETHICAL OF ACURA TO NOT ADVISE ME OF THIS HISTORY BEFORE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. *TR
