Can you give me the name of the site that you got for the recall and any other information about the transmission problems?
Thanks.

The Edmunds Maintenance Guide has recall and TSB info.
Try this link for the 2002 MDX.

Thanks for the information and the link. I found a lot of things I didn't know about my MDX.

2005 Acura MDX Transmission Issue/Rough Downshift

My 2005 MDX recently started downshifting a little rough. It happens after I have been traveling at least 50mph. When I take my foot off the gas to coast before pressing the break, I feel the rough downshift at about 30mph.
I took it to an Acura dealer where they replaced the transmission, free of charge since I was within warranty, but the problem persisted even after the new transmission. I took it back and they checked for "updates" the computer might need. After verifying the computer was up to date with the most recent software, I left. The problem still exists.
Has anyone had any sort of problem like this?

What do you mean you just left? They acknowledged your problem and told you basically too bad?

Well I left after they replaced the transmission, because I ASSUMED that would fix the problem! When it didn't, I went back, which is when they said it might need a software update. I got the update (assuming that would fix it), but it didn't. Now I am back this morning for more tests. I have had to pay anything, but the dealership is 50 miles away!

Keep us posted. Once again a transmission problem in an Acura 5sp Automatic
Did they happen to mention what they think CAUSED the failure. I've been searching for months for anyone that might have a logical explanation. This senario of Acura replacing Transmissions and Torque converters has been going on since 2001!
There has to be a reason. It sounds like even Acura isn't concered.

I have not experienced this problem with my 2005 MDX, but am concerned as the vehicle will be out of warranty within 7 months. May I ask how many miles you currently have on you vehicle. I would let the dealership know that you do not live around the corner and this traveling is an inconvenience.

I got the second software update for my computer today. My computer is now the most up-to-date it can be. So I was driving home and it downshifted rough again just like it has been doing. They told me that it was a gas flow issue, but with the update it would rectify what was going on. Not so. This was my 3rd or 4th trip (I can't remember since I'm so frustrated!) back and I'm about to give up.
What the heck is going on? The guy I have been working with is very kind and knows I am oviously upset with the situation. I got a free oil change and tire rotation but that doesnt really make up for the time I've lost from work (10+ hours), the mileage I've put on the car (350+ miles) or my aggravation!
