Transmission Noise problems of the 2001 Acura MDX

Automatic transmission- I bought my 2001 Acura Mdx in March 2019 it has ran fine until August 2019. It started making a loud clanking noise on and off when I took out of reverse, then at about 40-50 mph it starts having a vibration then goes away at other speeds. About a week ago while driving straight down the interstate at 65 mph with my cruise control set my rpm went up to 5000 so I tapped on break which made it go back down to normal, so I went to accelerate back up to speed and nothing happened other then it acting as though I was driving in neutral and then it was fine again for a split second so I turned my hazards on and slowed down more and pulled off into gas station to see what was going on and noticed atf all over the place the ground was covered. I had to get trailer to get it home, once I did I pulled out my chilton's handbook for it to see if could figure out the issue was and it shows that the 2001 has a recall on the automatic transmission, but when I get online it only shows the recall if I put in 2001 Acura Mdx it doesn't show it with my VIN. Number. Can I still get this recall issue fixed and if so how do I get it fixed? I called my local Acura dealer and they told me to get on here to get more information.

The contact owns a 2001 Acura Mdx. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph, the gears seized unexpectedly for a brief moment with a loud unusual noise. The failure occurred whenever accelerating from a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the transmission would need to be replaced. In 2006, the vehicle had been repaired under NHTSA campaign id number 04v176000 (power train). The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

I purchased my 2001 Acura Mdx in Aug 2004 and the transmission recall had already been serviced per records on the Acura owners website. Approximately 18 months ago I noticed the car sporadically behaving as if going over rumble strips on a road. I took it in for service however could not get the vehicle to replicate the event. In the fall of 07 again I took it to the same Acura dealer and told them to check out the bizarre behavior. Again, to no avail. In Feb 08 I took it in for the 120k mile service which included cleaning brakes, checking belts etc. I reminded them of the noise once again. They said the car was fine. Last week I took it in again after determining the rumble-strip noise was occurring between 25 & 35 mph. Initially I was told I needed a serpentine belt & when I rejected that notion, the diagnosis was that I needed a new transmission. I called corporate Acura and spoke with 3 different people. The last representative read the report taken by the prior person and I had to correct my actual statements several times. When asked what action I wanted Acura to take, I said that Acura should absorb the cost since my car was involved in the transmission recall the "fix" was merely a "patch" as other cars had the same issue upon reaching the 100k mile + mark. My car has 125k. When corporate Acura called me today, they said essentially they were not gong to bear the cost of any of the repairs that it was my responsibility. I have been a loyal Acura owner to one dealer and was preparing to purchase yet another Mdx. These cars cost a lot of money in the first place and there is no reason for them not to absorb the cost. In fact, their cost is way less than the consumer cost and they can write it off as customer good faith expense or something of the sort.

There was a recall on the consumers vehicle to have the transmission fixed. The next day, the consumer heard a low pinging noise, then 30 miles after she started to hear noise while driving on the freeway. The transmission locked up and put the consumer into a skid of about 150 feet. No other vehicles were involved.

I was driving in a center lane about 45 mph in my 2001 Acura Mdx when the front wheels locked up and the car went into a skid and came to a complete stop. Within seconds, the lady behind me ran into me causing damage to the front of her vehicle and the rear of my car. Neither of our airbags went off. The other women said her knee was hurting, but she did not request any medical attention at the scene of the accident. There were no other injuries. There was no warning, no strange noises, no jerky actions - the front wheels just stopped. The car was taken to the local Honda dealer and Acura was contacted. The transmission had broken and Acura arranged to have the vehicle transported to the closest dealership which was oklahoma city. The dealership replaced the transmission (and the front wheels after I inquired about a flat spot because of the skid) and transported the vehicle back to amarillo to have the body work done. Acura has not assumed any responsibility for the damage done by the accident. They were good about assisting in the replacement of the transmission and tires. They have also agreed to pay for a rental vehicle while my car was out of commission.
