| 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. | |||

| 2005 acura mdx: leaving my neighborhood i took a right turn onto the main thoroughfare. after some acceleration (1st gear), i heard a loud squeal/blow. immediately had no power to maneuver forward and off to side of road in busy traffic. ironically, mdx was taken for maintenance at dealership. mdx seemingly tested with flying colors 43 days earlier. no cautionary comments from mechanics at dealership. | |||

| While driving the suv in a busy street 30-45mph felt the vibration, grinding, the triangle distress sign came on and felt the vehicle is going to stall. managed to get the suv to the parking lot on the right side. the suv completely stalled there and we got it towed to the acura dealer. they looked at it and the technician gave us the initial diagnosis as radiator has blown coolant line , fluids have cross contaminated and will take a lot of time to bleed out, also possible transmission failure in the process would need to retest drive after radiator replacement to see if transmission works | |||

| I have a 2005 acura mdx 140k miles. i have had transmission problems for the past year or so. yesterday i was drving on the freeway in southern california when the transmission strated slipping. i would press on the gass and there would be hesitation. seemed to have a mind of it's own. rpm's would go up but the car would keep speed. had to get it towed from orange county to san diego. | |||

| Have booming sound coming from the sub-woofer in the rear. sounds deafing, quite loud and booming. took it in because i ahd a warranty and they did nothing- didnt notice they didnt fix it till i got home as i didnt pick up the car. took it back and they said they replaced the sub-woofer. on saturday driving home and had the car running, went to back to remove something and heard this crazy noise. i though it was coming from the tail pipe, thats how loud it was until i opened the back and realize it was the sub-woofer again! i have seen that a lot of other people are having the same problem, and not sure why there isnt a permanent fix from acura regarding this. the dealership, will imply its your cd's etc, but its not, it sounds crazy weither its the radio or even if you have the bass lowered to help with the noise | |||
