1 Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2011

Car shutters between 1500-1800 rpms. Also "pops" when it down shifts. Took it into the dealership and they said the torque convertor had to be replaced. I was told there was only one other vehicle that they knew of that this happened to and it was also a 2010. Since then, I went online to see what if anything a defective torque convertor could damage and found out there were many, many complaints for years. It appears that Acura has an issue with the torque convertor that needs to be addressed.

2 Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2009

Bought the car brand new off the lot. It started having issues soon after purchase. Took it back to the dealership and treated me as if I was a crazy female driver. Was told that our purchase included oil changes for the first year and a 100,000 mile warranty, which they conveniently couldn't find and we moved so I can't find our paperwork. Issue has only gotten worse over the years. It acts like it doesn't know which gear it wants to be in. It causes a shudder feeling like you are driving over rumble strips. After searching on the internet, I find that the transmission, torque converter, and transmission software has been a problem for years in the Mdxs, but I never received a recall notice. According to the recall letter that Acura sent out to other people, they call it a transmission judder. I am calling a new dealership for an appointment and plan on making a mechanic ride with me to prove what's going on. I should not have to pay for the repairs. Your system wants me to enter a date for then this happened. It began in October of 2009, has been ongoing, and has gotten worse. The car had 21 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. Now it has 120,000+. The issues being on acceleration and continues until at least 60mph, even at higher speeds if I take my foot off the accelerator in traffic or try to go up a hill until the next gear kicks in because it is sluggish when you press the accelerator down even to the floorboard.
