Driving on highway at 75-80 mph, car starts vibrating, and the steering wheel starts shaking. Took it to the deal to check since I have a warranty (only 51k miles) and they claim they cannot duplicate problem.
Car is making a grinding noise at approximately 30 to 40 m/h. I had the timing belt changed and was told this noise is a transmission problem that is common to Acura Mdxs between 02s to 06s. I have justified the cost of Acuras because of their longevity and am very upset over the repair cost of $4000. Why hasn't Acura been forced to stand behind this defect when it seems to be so common when I investigated on the internet.
