| On my way to home from work, i noticed that my acura mdx makes grinding and shuddering sound when increasing speed after a stop or from slow speed. while going on state highway at 50/mhp speed, the front wheels locked up. the car dragged on the road for about 25 feets and came to a complete stop in the driving lane as i could not steer the vehicle on to the shoulder due to locked front wheels. the lady behind me driving at the same speed was able to just stop her suv within six inches of the back of my vehicle. it scary and frightening experience for both of as my vehicle completely stopped in driving lane in about 5 to 7 second from 50/mph to a complete stop. my vehicle could not be pushed over to the side of the road due to locked front wheels. this was a near death experience i had for the first time in my life. i was searching on internet to see if others had similar problem. i was amazed to find hundreds of comments about this problem from the owners of mdx for model years that range from 2002 to 2010. they appear to have the same transmission problem where the second gear just freezes. i am wondering why the sha has not investigated this problem and found faults with honda's lack of willingness to correct this problem. some of the comments on internet says that this happened to them on highways. | |||

| I purchased a 2002 acura mdx in january 2011 with 145,000 miles and less than a week after my purchase i had it back to the dealership service center with a rumble strip noise in the front end. i was told that it was 2 broken chords in my tires. new tires all around were purchased. back in to service center less that 2 week later for same rumble strip noise...told that new tires needed balanced. service center supposedly balanced tires. back in to service center in less than a month again with same rumble strip noise...told that the new tires were actually too hard of a compound. they were made for a heavy duty truck, not a light duty suv. service center told me that there was nothing further that could be done for my used mdx except new tires. issue was dropped for approx. 4 months until the rumble strip noise continued to get worse, so on my 4th trip to the service center with the same rumble strip noise that i have had since january...tech and i went for a ride together. at that time, i was told the noise that i was hearing was wind blowing across my hood! on that visit, i stood my ground and told them to check it over closer and not call me until they found out the real problem as i was not taking it home with me! finally after 4 trips to the acura service center, my torque converter got changed out. when i asked them to look at the transmission to make sure there were no issues with it, i was told there had already been work done my transmission so when i asked for the paperwork on it...the service center coundl not provide it to me - even though they said they would! i purchased the extended arranty for issus just like this and now i can't even get the service center to do the work and prove to me that the transmission is not going to lock up on me going down the road! i am a single mother with a young son and was assurance he is safe. help! | |||
