This car has 131,000 miles on it and the transmission went out. After reading 37 pages from other owners on edmonds they complained about the same thing. This transmission should not have gone bad. There should be a class action lawsuit because so many other people have had the same problem from the 2003 on. I expect some recourse on paying for this transmission. The cost is almost $5000

Transmission failed today 123k. Called customer service what a joke. Emissions light on and air bags are faulty. What a lemon. Nevet buy acura. On a city street car just down shifted and stopped. Needless to say it was 20 degree's outside. Acura doesnt see thus as a safety hazard? Confused and mad really mad. I cant believe they are still getting away with this. I've had my fill with foreign junk. I froze walking home think I have frost bite on my fingers.

Torque converter issues. Looks like the widely known complaint about the torque converter and transmission issue in honda pilots and acura mdx. My acura mdx 2004 clearly has the grinding sound (intermittent) when driving 35-40 MPH. The issue was known by acura in apr 2004 (recall), we bought the car new in may 2004 and were never told. We now have 150k miles on it but we have had the issue for a while - when asking the dealer they said they could not hear it (it is intermittent) and ignored it - yes, it is commonly known to car owners but not the dealerships. I now have my kids driving this car but as of today I will take it back and give them my other car. Not safe for them to drive it. I know I have a lot of miles on mine, but the issue has been known by acura officially since 2004. It is all about the money. What to do - recall is closed, class action in ca is closed, dealers and acura/honda ignoring it. Help please.

There is a shudder and vibration between gears 4 and 5 when driving 40-50 MPH. This is very commonly reported problem on several blogs and problems are ascribed to torque converter. The frequency of such occurence is high and the cost of repair close to 2000 usd is alos quite burdensome for such an expensive car. There is an acura tsb 05-024 for this problem that applies to earlier model years 2002, but acura tells me that for 2004 it does not apply. It seems very clear that this problem has persisted in 2004 my. I am requesting the acura be required to fix this problem as they have in earlier models
