Automatic Transmission problems of the 2005 Acura MDX

The contact owns a 2005 Acura Mdx. The contact stated the vehicle required excessive force in order to shift gears. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the gear shift cable was lubricated; however, the failure recurred a few months later. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the gear shift cable was covered with rust and the failure was a design flaw. The vehicle was not repaired twice. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided little financial assistance with the repairs. The failure mileage was 65,000. Updated 11/01/lj updated 11/30/11.

Transmission problems on Acura Mdx.

Since my purchase of a brand new 2005 Acura Mdx from the dealer, I have performed all of the scheduled maintenance and over the last year the car has started to shudder or vibrate when it reaches @40mph. The car has @57k miles.

Not sure what equipment it is, but I have trouble accelerating in my Mdx. I thought it was normal until I drove my sister's rl. I couldn't believe the difference. Whenever I am driving, especially when accelerating I have to floor the car to get it to move it seems. Its especially problematic when I am getting on a highway and trying to merge into traffic. I have to actually put my seat further so my entire foot can now be on the gas to get it to accelerate or make it seem like it is. Took it in to a dealership (thank god for extended warranty) and don't know what they did, but it helped only for a short time. The problem was back in less than weeks and its so hard to get to a dealership because they are not in my town and I have to get someone to take it for me. I have been reading others having the same problem and now see its the torque. Is there a permanent fix for this.

The contact owns a 2005 Acura Mdx. The contact stated that the vehicle had been experiencing a recurring failure with the transmission which would intermittently skip. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed the failure was not a safety concern. The failure continued to occur and the vehicle was taken back to the dealership where the transmission was then replaced. The contact was told that the replacement transmission was new but upon speaking with the manufacturer, he was informed that the transmission was re-manufactured. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The current mileage was approximately 151,000. Updated 11/03/10.

My 2005 Acura Mdx has encountered problems where the car suddenly stops when the brake is applied and fails to accelerate smoothly (the car lurches during acceleration). This usually occurs at slower speeds (<30mph). This has occurred on numerous occasions. Acura service has been unable to diagnose the problem despite our pleas to find the problem. Sometimes the problem is ameliorated when the ignition is turned off and restarted, similar to a computer reboot. The most recent incident, today, did not rectify itself when the car was restarted. This situation is dangerous as the car is susceptible to rear-end and other collision when the car "locks up" during acceleration or braking.
