#1 of 133 04-06 Acura MDX transmission problems by tpulak Dec 17, 2007 (4:33 pm)
I'm own a 2004 Acura MDX, that currently has no problems. But I heard of a recall for the transmission of the 01's to the 03's , stating that the transmission might suddenly downshift, causing a crash. Well, the 04 mdx all the way to the 06 mdx have the same transmisisons as of the 01's to the 03's. I'm very worried: does this problem affect the 04 to the 06?

Have a 2001 MDX. Transmission died at 104K. Warranty expired at 100K. I think Acura/Honda build great cars and great planned obsolesence. This make, model and year should have been included in the class action lawsuit with the rest of their models from 1998 to 2002. They are very considerate by offering to pay all but $1000.00 of the cost. Perhaps they know what is really going on and this is how they cover up their guilt. Can't afford to go down this road again. I think Toyota is the way to go.

Replying to: markrj (Feb 28, 2008 11:34 am) markrj, I'm experiencing the transmission problems now. I live in New York City. Can I ask where you live and what should I expect from ACURA when I contact them. Any added info. would be appreciated. Thanks
#7 of 133 2003 Acura MDX transmission problems by lbrickner Sep 04, 2008 (11:51 am)
I took my 2003 Acura MDX in for 100,000 mile maintenance and found out there was metal specks in my transmission fluid. The mechanic recommends I take it to an Acura dealer to have a new transmission put in. I see from previous dicussions this is a common problem. How common is it and why does Consummer Report recommend this vehicle if there is a known problem with transmissions. Replies to this message: mdxowner1 (Jun 26, 2009 8:03 pm)
#8 of 133 2002 MDX transmission problem by scjd Sep 05, 2008 (8:15 am)
At less then 90K the car requires a transmission replacement. The estimate was $5400. Dealer did not volunteer any help before I provided documentation about recall and information that transmissions on 2001 - 2002 MDX's are extremely unreliable. Got 75% off the bill as "Good Will" from Acura, still have to pay $1200, 3 year warranty included. Still, I think it is completely unacceptable for 40K luxury car to have transmission problems that early...

Replying to: scjd (Sep 05, 2008 8:15 am) How were you able to provide documentation? Were the '04's included in this recall?
#10 of 133 2003 MDX Transmission by laxmi902000 Sep 06, 2008 (10:22 am)
I have 98K miles on 2003 MDX and got transmission problem. Dealer is asking $4500 to repair. It is too much for 45k car and under 1000000m. It should be covered. Replies to this message: tidester (Sep 06, 2008 10:37 am)
