NHTSA Complaint #11311868 — 2017 ACURA MDX

THE TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR DECELERATES UNEXPECTEDLY, THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, IT ALSO JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SWITCHING LANES AND SIMPLY DRIVING AND TRYING TO MANEUVER FROM A STOP. WE HAVE ALSO HAD A WARNING POP UP ON THE DASHBOARD TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BECAUSE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY DONT SEE THE SPECIFIC CODE AND TO JUST HAVE IT TOWED IN NEXT TIME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY, WE JUST HAD A BABY AND NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR ON A DAILY BASIS, WHAT IF IT DOESNT ACCELATE WHEN NEEDED AND WE GET HIT! WE HAVE BROUGHT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE UP MUTLIPLE TIMES; HOWEVER, ALL WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THAT THIS IS A NORMAL THING FOR THE ACURA MDX 2017 YEAR WE HAVE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL, IT IS EXTREMEMLY UNSAFE.
