This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
There is shuddering coming from the transmission on speeds of 30-40 mph. It seems like Acura knew of the problem and sent a recall for MDX, rdx and zdx that were made from 2010 to 2013 but my VIN wasn't included although I am facing the same problem as those recalled vehicles.
I am very disappointed and dissatisfied with the 2011 Acura MDX I purchased November 2018 this vehicle has had all type of problems from the start from oil issues to needing the engine rebuilt to now timing belt issues and the only thing that is covered under warranty is the rebuild and it is not likely to happen until early 2020 and the only thing I'm getting is quotes of 1200 dollars and sorry your going thru this I am tired of that from one of mobile most respected dealership I want immediate action especially when it was under warranty and should have been inspected before it became a sellable vehicle I am also sending this response to Acura and the better
While driving the front wheel bearing or transmission is making noises, like whining, droning, or humming. I had the front hubs and bearings replaced with new oem hubs and bearings. The noise has continued!!!
While parking, the car suddenly accelerated as if the accelerator was floored, and the car only came to a stop after hitting a block wall. The engine continued to rev until the car was put into park and the engine turned off. I could hear the tire screeching like "burning rubber" when it accelerated. Prior to this incident, I've been experiencing the car lurch forward while driving for the past 2 weeks. But it was hard to reproduce, and I was in the process of trying to figure out when and how it happens.
While leaving a parking lot and coming to a stop prior to entering traffic, the car lurched forward while braking. This has occurred 3 additional times since that initial episode. Concurrently, the transmission began to shift roughly. I experienced "micro lurches" while accelerating and decelerating; under 40mph. These lurches while shifting are not present when speeds exceed 55 mph. The Acura dealer initially indicated there were no problems as no computer anomalies were detected. After multiple complaints, Acura sent a technician to investigate. He experienced the "micro-lurches" on a test drive with me and after consultation with Acura, agreed to replace the torque converter. However, they maintain that there is no computer data to explain the unanticipated accelerations I experienced and therefore Acura does not acknowledge that there is a problem. I believe that these intermittent episodes of unanticipated accelerations represent a safety problem. During my last conversation with Acura (800382-2238 X 115185), I was informed that there was nothing further they plan to do. I indicated that I would be filing a complaint with the NHTSA.
