1 Transmission Gear Indicator problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2008

I own 2001 Acura Mdx and my daughter is the primary driver. She stated tha while driving down with her four month infant the car beggan to jump in a jerking motion at 35 mph. The gear light started to blink repeatdly and the check engine light came on. While pulling off the road the vehcle was skipping before came to a complete stop trying to make it home , the vehicle slowly sped up and started to jerk and skip again and then stared top back int reverse. It was taken to a local repair shop and was told that the vehicle had a transmission failure and it was recalled the the same problem. As the second owner of the vehicle, I was not aware of the recall so I did some research and found out that other owners are still having problem even with the recall so call to be fixed the defect problems. I called the the dealer( provided VIN) to verify my vehicle was taken in for the recall and was told it was taken in and "inspected" and not further information what else was done. The dealer gave me an over the phone estimate for repair cost of $5500. I requested a hard copy via email and they sent me an estimate for $6581. 37 to replace the transmission. I called America Honda CO on several occasion to get more information about the recall and to find out what exactly done to the vehicle and all they are telling me that my vehicle was fixed during the recall and they have no information on what was fixed or done to the vehicle and that I was responsible for the repair cost. I told America Honda that I was calling for recall information and they were more concern about who were responsible repair cost. During my research I learn this incident with my vehicle is still a safety issue and luckily no one was hurt and no fatality yet. This is my complaint about my Acura Mdx still dangerous even as older luxury vehicle.
