Was driving to the store and the vehicle lost all power it will crank and idle but. When u push the gas pedal it will not accelerate all the dash lights are flashing or staying on as of right now the vehicle is on the side of the road I had to walk 15 miles cause I left my phone at home so I couldn't call no one and. My 11 year old daughter was with me so she had to walk as well

Hose connection failure between radiator and transmission cooler causing radiator fluid to mix with tranny fluid with no dash indicator of problem.. In motion lost power and would not move from 1st gear. Broke down completely in need of transmission work and new coolant system due to hose connect failure.

Vehicle slips out of gear intermittently after deceleration, usually while driving in town (under 45 mph). Torque converter shudder or vibration between 35-40 mph.

The vsa warning indicator illuminated, the brakes applied independently, and the vehicle stopped. The contact had to depress the accelerator pedal to continue driving the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the stability assist system failed and needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic replaced the brake pads, discs,...

There is a grind/ roaring sound when I am going about 40 mph. It definitely sounds like the transmission. I researched it on line and have determined that thousand of people like my self are experiencing the same issues, but honda has not recalled these cars. My question is does someone's transmission have to cause an accident and possibly a fatality before this issue is handled. Most people have had to have the torque converter replaced at their own expense, some after threatening lawsuits have received some assistance. What can we do? *Tr

Over a period of time, beginning about the date and vehicle mileage stated above, I experienced a shudder and corresponding noise as the transmission tried to shift gears. Similar to the sensation of driving across closely-spaced rumble strips, the shudder and noise seemed to vary in length of time depending on speed. This occurred many times before I became concerned and started researching during which I found dozens of similar accounts in various on-line forums. Eventually I took my mdx to the dealership for a...

Reproducibly at automatic transmission shifting speeds between 20-25mph, 30-35mph and 40-45mph there is an audible and palpable shudder as the transmission hesitates prior to shifting. Have brought vehicle to acura dealer 3 times over the past 5 years, every time stating the same complaint, and every time referencing a convincing multitude of acura mdx owners noting a similar problem. Every time acura service states they could not reproduce the problem and nothing is wrong with the vehicle. The last time I even...

I was moving out of a parking space and bam!...The drop of tranny fluid and radiator fluid on the spot. When I took it to a mechanic, they told me this was the 4th honda car they have had with same problem, they found out in all cases it was the pressurized hose connecting these two important parts had corroded to the point of failure. I have been hearing more about this and it is now disturbing to me. In my case my tranny is fine and all I needed was a new radiator and all new fluids. The car was not able to move and that may have saved the tranny. Got it towed and fixed the next day by trusted shop even though it was almost 800 dollars. *Tr

I was pulling into drive way when I shut off truck took keys out, shut door, as garage door was opening. Car started rolling back... I opened door tried to press on emerg. Brake with hand as im running with vehicle as it is rolling back, wouldn't stop. I realized the gear wasn't in park, it was in reverse, but with no keys I tried to put gear into park, wouldn't move without keys, I hopped in, put keys in ignition and turned car on, as I was putting the gear in park, the vehicle reared forward and I pressed on...

I had noticed a shuddering at 1200-1400 rpm. Dealer said it was likely the torque converter. Recommended not doing anything at this time. In the past month, I've had two occasions while in drive from a stop, when I stepped on the gas the car did not move; the engine just revved. The first time I put the car into park, shut off the car. I restarted and all was well. This next time I was going around a curve at about 10-15 mph, when the car revving response to my pressing the gas pedal, but did not accelerate. ...

On 11.11.11,Our acura lost power coinciding with the dashboard warning lights not functioning properly to warn of the sudden loss of control, heavy smoke emission, transmission failure,engine damage & inability to drive our vehicle, creating the possibility of a crash, injury or fatality.

Internal leak in radiator causing a leak of coolant to transmission fluid and vice versa, damaging transmission and rendering car not drivable within moments.

I was told my radiator bladder exploded causing all fluids to mix, thus I now need a new radiator and a new transmission, cost of repair is $4600. My 04 mdx has 137k this should not happen, there are numerous cases of this same issue all over the internet acura forums, why has there not been a recall on this issue, there is clearly an issue with the radiators. I need to have the radiator replaced, all fluids drained and then flushed 5-8 times to ensure all the contamination is gone, then new fluids put back in along with a replacement transmission. There has to be numerous complaints about this, please help! *Tr

There is a shuddering noise / vibration coming from the engine compartment at speeds between 25-45 mph. *Tr

My mechanic determined my front and side motor mounts need replacing, and mentioned it being common in my vehicle. I've since found others with acura mdxs with the same problem. Never needed mounts replaced in any other vehicles owned. I believe it to be an inherent defect acura must address.

Sudden transmission failure on the highway. Lose all power from the engine to the wheels. Has to pull over suddenly in traffic to avoid being hit by other cars traveling at normal speed. The transmissions on honda/acura v6s apparently have systematic problems. *Tr

Took car in for inspection and the dealer told us our front engine mount needs replacing. Never had to deal with this with our previous cars. Shouldn't acura take responsibility for their mistakes. *Tr

1. The front and side motor mounts on my '04 acura mdx are broken as well as the rear a/c blower. Problem was first diagnosed by a private mechanic who was replacing the brakes for us. Aside from the brakes, the auto has been dealer maintained incl. Oil changes. Acura confirmed the diagnosis and refused to offer any "good will" discount for the repairs. 2. Front mount broke first, followed by the side (within 2-3 wks.) Due to the additional strain placed on it by the front mount not functioning. 3. Nothing...

On a trip to a car wash, my acura mdx got locked with the engine running which caused a back up on the line and loss of business for the car wash. I had to hail a cab to go home and get the spare key and compensated the owner for the loss. When I got home and read the owner's manual I was very surprised to find out that the vehicle can be locked using the master lock button in an open passenger door even with the key in the ignition and the engine running. It was then that I realized that the car wash attendant on...

The check engine light frequently blinks and the car occasionally misfires while the car is accelerating or under heavy engine load (e.G., Accelerating onto the freeway or driving on interstate through the mountains). These conditions appear to happen more frequently the whether is cool and damp. When the vehicle misfires, the engine hesitates and various dashboard warning indicators light. The engine hesitation and distraction from the warning lights makes it difficult to complete merger into traffic.

I bought a new acura mdx 2004 and in two days the engine malfunctioned, light appeared. I went to the dealer, who said that I need to make an appointment to fix the problem, eventhough as a new customer I was not satisfied with the car, indicating a problem within two days of driving less than 100 miles. I did some research on the problem and found that the issue I am facing is a known issue within the range of my vin number. But acura dealer and the customer relationship office in la denied that they know...

The acuramdx that I bought is for model year 2004, there is kind of a loud droning noise from the exhaust system, that was identified by the reading honda dealer and furthur confirmed by the mfg's rep, but the problem did not get fixed since the mfg. Has no fix for the problem and the mfg. Is not willing to adress the problem or solve it or refund the money.*Ak
