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. Despite acura's knowledge of transmission failures based on an acura service bulletin alert, we incurred $5500 in expenses/damage to our vehicle.we had not been notified of the faulty torque converter/transmission parts previously&acura has avoided taking full responsibility for a known problem in which many consumers have been fully reimbursed for this damage. We are issuing this complaint&requesting reimbursement for our expenses due to acura's full knowledge of this recurring situation,their negligence in alerting consumers&their neglect in resolving the repair in accordance with their responsibilities.we would request that acura be held responsible in notifying all acura owners of the service bulletin/recall pertaining to this faulty transmission. We also feel strongly about the electronic/computer dashboard warnings that gave no indication of damaged or faulty parts creating the dangerous&unsafe situation we had experienced while driving our vehicle in traffic when this incident occurred&are filing a complaint according to the seriousness of this portion of the incident as well. We have much documentation&would be more than willing to provide whatever would be necessary to ensure that this complaint is productive in enforcing acura's responsibility of these two incidents,to further make aware&avoid such incidents&in hopes of being reimbursed for our unexpected expenses as well. In purchasing an acura,we had done so with the peace of mind that we had purchased a well made,safe vehicle from a company that stands behind it's product.we are saddened that this has not been the case.

The best way to describe the incident is that our vehicle just started to lose power as we were traveling on the highway. Then, it just froze. The car would not move. Then, it seemed to be alright but it would freeze up again. It was very frightening because there were cars on the highway going 60-65 MPH. We were able to make it home and had the car towed to a local repair shop and then to acura garage a day later. We were given no warning of a problem. There was no light to indicate a problem. We were told that the transmission and torque converter needed replaced. We learned that this is an ongoing problem with the acura mdx. We filed a claim with acura. We had a service bulletin. Apparently, honda/acura knows of this problem but refuses to do anything about it. We bought our 2004 mdx new. We had all necessary maintenance done on the vehicle. Acura wanted our documentation which we provided. They offered to pay half of the repairs. Our expense was $2000. I feel that a recall is in order. Again, honda/acura knows about this problem with not just the acura but the pilot and the odyssey, as well. Our car had 79,000 miles on it when this occurred.

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.
