| 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. *tr | |||

| My accident is still under investigation, but i am going to tell you about this so anyone who has an acura mdx will be aware. on the day of my daughters wedding, i was in a terrible accident in a parking garage. there were 4 passengers in the car. my transmission surged as i was in reverse hitting a cement pole, within a second, the car surged forward hitting another cement pole. the airbags thankfully deployed. i was burned, badly bruised and have neck and back injuries as does the passenger in the front seat. this car was totally out of control. after researching on the internet i have found numerous complaints involving transmission problems with the acura's. if i had been parked on the road, there would have been fatalities. i missed hours of the most special day of my daughters life. these memories were stolen from me. my car was at the dealer approximately 3-4 weeks prior to this accident. $700.00 for the car to be checked and ready to go! please do your homework if you are planning to purchase this car. i loved it too! *jb | |||
