My 2005 Acura Mdx drive train will make a "judder" sound and can be felt in the vehicle all while loosing acceleration at around 30 to 40 mph. The resulting loss of acceleration leads to serious safety concerns while trying to merge into traffic on ramps. There was a recall regarding this problem from Acura. I took the Mdx into the dealer and they did a pcm program update. This seemed to fix the problem for about two months but now the problem is back again.
Hello, I am a very frustrated Acura Mdx owner. I hd prchsed 2005 cura Mdx brand new. I usd the SUV for 3 years when I started hearing a "viration" or "judder"noice while cruising between 20-45 miles per hour. In December 2010, I received a recall and was very happy that the issue will be resolved. I took the recall notice sent by Honda motors and went to the alhambra, CA Acura dealership. The dealership updated the pcm a/t software . The cause in the work order was mentioned as producr update - pm update for lock-up clutch function. Software update s/b# 09-037. I got it update within 3 hours and finally felt happy that my SUV will be running fine. To my utter dismay, I found the same problem still exists.
