Sudden transmission failure on the highway. Lose all power from the engine to the wheels. Has to pull over suddenly in traffic to avoid being hit by other cars traveling at normal speed. The transmissions on Honda/Acura v6s apparently have systematic problems.

On April 7, 2009 took my 2003 Acura Mdx into local dealer for it's 60,000 mile service (odometer read 63,438). No problems brought to my attention. June 16, 2009 (odometer 67,608) a/c stops working. Pay over $1300 to have a/c compressor, clutch, stator & hi pressure hose replaced. Get car back on June 18, 2009. July 1, 2009 check engine light comes on (odometer 68,219). Am told that car needs a "valve realignment" - all gaskets and spark plug seals replaced ($600). Get car back on July 2, 2009. July 3, 2009 burning smell coming through a/c vents. Am told that it's residue from v/c gaskets from the valve realignment job- supposedly residue removed. Get car back July 6, 2009. July 17, 2009 notice oil in front passenger side wheel well. Pop hood, notice radiator overflow container is overflowing, radiator is very mobile and overflow container is black at the bottom. Have car towed to dealership. Am told that the radiator cracked internally and that the coolant and transmission fluid were mixing together - therefore have to flush the transmission and replace radiator for another $900. This just didn't feel right to me. Started researching and am being told that these are not "normal" repairs on this model for so few miles on it and that the burning smell was most likely the mixing of the coolant and transmission oil not residue from the valve realignment. Dealership isn't accepting responsibility. Acura customer services is saying there's nothing they can do either because the dealership has followed all procedures. I really feel like they are trying to covering up a defect or mechanic error .
