2012 Acura MDX transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2012 mdx suffers from a torque converter rumbling sound and vibration common to the mdx series. As you accelerate the noise and vibration can be felt almost like a bearing noise which will eventually cause a lockup or failure possibly resulting in injuries to any drivers or pedestrians. The dealers are saying that this noise is indigenous to the inherent history of the vehicle . Fact: so I'm not alone in this and I know any vibrations in that area will definitely lessen the life of the vehicle and cost the car owners ! God forbid ! There refusal to simply replace the converter is a refusal to sell good vehicles and this should be a recall asap ! Updated 10/22/13*lj acura client services informed the consumer was informed that all the mdx vehicles near the same year, have an inherent documented knock on acceleration regardless of what premium fuel is used.
