| My 2001 mdx has been having this issue for over 2 years. it happens only sometimes but usually when accelerating from 2nd to 3rd gear. it makes a shuddering sound and then the rpms go up and it will not accelerate. you have to then stop or slow down to make it go in a lower gear. sometimes this will happen 2 to 4 times a drive and sometimes will go days without happening. mechanic thought it to be transmission issue and said drive it until it stops. however...after reading hundreds of complaints online...it appears that individuals have fixed the tranny or torque converter only to have the problem soon reappear. i am hesitant to replace tranny/trans as i have 163,000 miles on it and do not want to replace these items if they won't fix the problem. many, many complaints of the exact same thing all over the web. honda should be made to address this issue and see what the problem is! i am the original owner ...bought it new in 2000. have taken good care of it and performed scheduled maintenance. just want to know what the issue really is before i spend $3000 to $4000 dollars to fix it. other than this....love the vehicle! please look into this issue!! | |||
