Consumer Description

THE ACURA MDX THAT WE (MYSELF AND MY WIFE) OWN BEGAN TO SHOW PRONOUNCED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS DURING OCTOBER, 2012. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONLY ONE MONTH PRIOR. INITIALLY, AFTER INSPECTION BY THE DEALER, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ISSUES WE WERE HAVING WITH ACCELERATION AND DOWNSHIFTING RELATED TO CLOGGED FUEL INJECTORS, BUT THE PROBLEM DID NOT DIMINISH ONCE THEY WERE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WOULD "REV" AT HIGH RPM'S DURING ACCELERATION AND WOULD "BANG" AND JOLT WHEN THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED. WE HAD A THOROUGH TRANSMISSION INSPECTION AND LEARNED THAT THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. IT HAD A LIMITED WARRANTY WHICH ALLOWED FOR A USED REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION, WHICH WAS INSTALLED BY AAMCO IN WARWICK, RI. OUR OUT OF POCKET COST WAS STILL APPROXIMATELY $600.00. *TR
