Replying to: skoobahead1 (Nov 12, 2008 8:31 pm) 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! Replies to this message: 10sfan (Nov 13, 2008 10:28 am) jkotlar (Nov 13, 2008 10:34 am)

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. Replies to this message: jkotlar (Nov 13, 2008 10:32 am)

Replying to: jkotlar (Nov 13, 2008 7:16 am) 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.

Replying to: skoobahead1 (Nov 13, 2008 10:08 am) 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!

Replying to: 10sfan (Nov 13, 2008 10:28 am) I have 47k on the car, and about 1k on the transmission.   Trust me, the dealership knows I don't live around the corner. I have made that perfectly clear! Oh, did I mention it took me 2 HOURS to get there this morning?
#26 of 68 2001 MDX Transmission problems by erwinmdx Dec 01, 2008 (12:24 pm)
I am having the same problems I have been reading about in these forums with my transmissions--the 'rumble strip noise', the torque converter, bad shifting-- I have 136k miles, local dealer says trans needs to be replaced, and Acura is telling me they can't help because of the mileage. What is my best course of action? Please help, I need links, history of trouble with 2001's, any experiences you may have had that can help me push this through. Thanks...

Replying to: erwinmdx (Dec 01, 2008 12:24 pm) I don't have a rumble strip noise, but I have a rough downshift at about 30mph. I have less than 50k on my 2005 MDX. It has been to Acura 4 times and the problem still persists. I don't know if Acura can do anything for you as far as cost since you are out of your warranty period. Did Acura check for software updates?

Replying to: scjd (Sep 05, 2008 9:15 am) I had my transmission replaced at 47k! I have a 2005 MDX. I am still having the same problem that I had before the transmission was replaced (rough downshift at about 30mph) . Correct me if I'm wrong, but a shifting issue would be the transmission? So if I really had a new transmission, the problem should not still exist. Right??
