I am very disappointed and dissatisfied with the 2011 Acura Mdx I purchased November 2018 this vehicle has had all type of problems from the start from oil issues to needing the engine rebuilt to now timing belt issues and the only thing that is covered under warranty is the rebuild and it is not likely to happen until early 2020 and the only thing I'm getting is quotes of 1200 dollars and sorry your going thru this I am tired of that from one of mobile most respected dealership I want immediate action especially when it was under warranty and should have been inspected before it became a sellable vehicle I am also sending this response to Acura and the better.
There is shuddering coming from the transmission on speeds of 30-40 mph. It seems like Acura knew of the problem and sent a recall for Mdx,rdx and zdx that were made from 2010 to 2013 but my VIN wasn't included although I am facing the same problem as those recalled vehicles.
While parking, the car suddenly accelerated as if the accelerator was floored, and the car only came to a stop after hitting a block wall. The engine continued to rev until the car was put into park and the engine turned off. I could hear the tire screeching like "burning rubber" when it accelerated. Prior to this incident, I've been experiencing the car lurch forward while driving for the past 2 weeks. But it was hard to reproduce, and I was in the process of trying to figure out when and how it happens.
