#22 of 133 Re: 2005 Acura MDX Transmission Issue/Rough Downshift [jkotlar] by 10sfan Nov 13, 2008 (9:28 am)
Replying to: jkotlar (Nov 13, 2008 6:16 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 9:08 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 9:28 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 133 2001 MDX Transmission problems by erwinmdx Dec 01, 2008 (11:24 am)
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 11:24 am) 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 8:15 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??

Replying to: erwinmdx (Dec 01, 2008 11:24 am) After reading about the problems other people have been having with their MDX's, I went back to my dealer that I have always had work done on the car there, and they told me that the torque converter needed to be replaced. They did all work FREE of charge!!. This is the second problem with this transmission in only 86,000 miles. The service manager told me that there has been a problem with the computer working the shifting of the transmission which has lead to problems with the tranmissions. However they believe they have solved the computer problem and I should be O.K. I honestly believe that if you have had problems in the past with your MDX, and were faithful to your dealership, that they will take care of you. Good Luck!!!!

Replying to: rbray5 (Dec 03, 2008 6:20 am) Do they believe that the issues werew solved through the replacement of the torque converter? Or through the updates to your computer?
#31 of 133 Mysterious Jerking by tpulak Dec 03, 2008 (5:46 pm)
Just a few days ago, I had that same "jerking sensation" that many Acura MDX owners were reporting relating to the transmission problem. I was at 20mph, and accelerating, when a sudden jerking came. It went on jerking for about 10 seconds, then it went back to normal. I wasn't able to duplicate this problem.. I am hoping this doesn't have to do anything with the torque converter, or transmission. I have 70k miles on the MDX, and it is a 2004 model, the one that is not included in the 2001-2003 recall of transmissions. My friend had his transmission replaced with my local dealer, for a price of $4800, which is outrageous for He was able to make acura pay for about $1000 dollars of it, but the rest came out of his pocket Replies to this message: jkotlar (Dec 04, 2008 11:55 am) skoobahead1 (Dec 04, 2008 8:06 pm) tpulak (Dec 04, 2008 9:30 pm) and 2 more... jkotlar (Dec 05, 2008 8:05 am) and 3 more...
