NHTSA Complaint #10671104 — 2006 ACURA MDX

WHEN CRUISING 20-30 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHUTTER OR MAKE LOUD GRINDING NOISES AND VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE. DEALER COULDN'T DUPLICATE NOISE AND NOTHING WAS DONE UNTIL 2014. TRANSMISSION OIL WAS CHANGED AND IF PROBLEMS COMES BACK, THEY WOULD CHANGE IT. PROBLEM CAME BACK AND NOW MAKES TREMBLING NOISE AND FEEL IT WHEN REACHING SPEED OF 49 EXACTLY AND 1500RPM, DURING SHIFTING GEARS AND COULD GET STUCK. DEALER STATED IS NORMAL SOUND. NOW I HAVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CODE P0706, WHICH IS OPEN IN TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH CIRCUIT PROBABLE CAUSE. SEARCHED AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS YEAR MODEL, ACURA MDX 2006, HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS AND NO RECALLS. CAR MAKES NOISE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK GETS STUCK DOING THIS UNTIL I ACCELERATE OR BRING DOWN THE SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINS WITH THIS ISSUE, AN ACURA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY OR THE VEHICLE GETS STUCK TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS. *TR
