Car experienced unintended acceleration in a shopping center parking lot. 4th time this has occurred (very intermittent). Car was stopped while in drive waiting for traffic in front of me when the engine starting revving. . . Had to keep my foot down on the brake to avoid hitting the fellow in front of me. Forced the gear shift back into neutral then revving subsided. Took car to dealership who thought problem might be related to intermittent disruption between electronic control master and power control master modules. . Dealer said they "relearned" the connection between the two modules.

On the highway going 65 mph when the acceleration suddenly froze up, rpms shot up to 4000 -5000, the car started shaking and I had to quickly pull to the side of the highway to avoid being crashed into by other cars. After I pulled over, I turned off the engine, then re-started, so I resumed driving but after driving two miles my car did the same thing once it hit 2500 rpms. Again I pulled over. I restarted my car again and slowly drove my car home. The next day, I called an Acura dealership, explained the situation to a service provider. They said they couldn't diagnosis over the phone and said they did not know about a relevant recall. I then had my car towed to a nearby repair shop where they told me that the car would not reverse or accelerate. The service man said he thinks the transmission is broken. I'm now reading how this is very common problem with the '04 Mdx. My mother called Acura to say that I have read that this issue seems to be a very common occurrence with '04 Mdxs but was told that they would not help and were not aware of this make/model having issues with anything other than the rear differential torque converter. The woman she spoke with was very rude and very dismissive. Said my car was too old for Acura to be responsible for any mechanical issues and that I had never had the car serviced (which I have. ) she was very condescending in her speech to my mother despite the fact that this is a known common problem and which almost killed me. They should make people aware that the torque converter problem is only the "tip of the iceberg" within a potentially much broader scope problem. Had I known, I sure would have addressed this before almost getting killed!! how many people didn't get their torque converter replaced because they did not know the big picture??.

I own a 2004 Acura Mdx with approx. 58,000 mi. The problem I'm experiencing is when ever I try to fuel the vehicle it either stops automatically after about 0. 2 gal or it overflows onto the body and tires also after about0. 2 gal. I noticed it about 6-8 weeks ago, so I started going to a different gas station where it would fill without problems, but just in the last week, it does it all the time no matter what gas station I go to. I feel this to be a safety hazard due to the fact any fuel spill is hazardous, let alone if it spills onto the rear tire when the breaks are hot on a hot summer day and I just got out of a traffic jam where I was constantly having to break. All though I've read many complaints of this same problem with other Mdx owners on various on-line forums, Acura has yet to make a recall for this and fix the problem.
