NHTSA Complaint #10489318 — 2003 ACURA MDX

ON THIS DATE I COULD NOT HEAR AN APPROACHING EMERGENCY VEHICLE DUE TO A SHUDDER VIBRATION NOISE FROM MY POWER TRAIN AUTO TRANSMISSION. THE EMERGENCY VEHICLE ALMOST CRASHED INTO MY VEHICLE AND IN SO DOING CAUSING A POTENTIALLY VERY SERIOUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. THE SHUTTER NOISE WAS THE RESULT OF A LONG STANDING MDX MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ( PERHAPS TORQUE CONVERTER). I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SURVIVE THE CAUSE OF A RECURRING MECHANICAL PROBLEM BY VERY FREQUENT TRAN FLUID CHANGES OVER THE YEARS BUT THE PROBLEM HAS KEPT OCCURRING SINCE 40000 MILES IN YEAR 2007. I REMAIN VERY AFRAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL OR HINDER ME AGAIN CAUSING A MORE CRITICAL PROBLEM THE NEXT TIME. LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS CONSIDERED THE NOISE AND SHUTTER AS A ACURA PRODUCT DEFECT. I RESPECTFULLY SEEK GOODWILL CONSIDERATION AND REPAIR OF MY TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. *TR
