Shuddering in transmission between 35mph and 45mph and lack of power. Took it to the dealer and they said Honda has a service bulletin on it.

Transmission was vibrating between 30 and 45 mph. Received letter confirming a computer update was necessary to correct failure. Dealership updated transmission. Still have minor issues with modification. The vibration was not apparent in 4th gear driving, only when driven in overdrive. Honda should redesign and recall.

Just purchased a pre-owned 2005 Acura Mdx on Nov 3, 2010 with 67,500 miles. After 3 weeks of driving the vehicle, I started experiencing the same problem as many owners have reported - engine / transmission makes shuddering noise when accelerating between 30 - 45 mph. The same noise occurs when the vehicle down-shifts or cruise at the same speed. The odometer was at approximately 68,000 miles when the noise started to surface. It's been only about 6 days since the problem started and the noise is becoming more frequent. Seems to be a common problem reported by many Acura Mdx owners, but after doing some research online I did not find a permanent solution. Seems that Acura / Honda manufacturer chooses to not be accountable and remains silent in offering a real solution or recalling the faulty components - very disappointing from a long time customer of Honda products.

My transmission failed . I drive an average of 80 miles to and from work. Most of it was highway driving. I would notice some hesitation at low speeds in about 50,000 miles but would go away. At approximately 100,000 miles the problems started getting more noticeable. The time leading to the eventual failure of my transmission was a shudder during low speeds between 20 to 40 miles per hour. Then hesitation during acceleration and then eventual slippage of the gears which almost cost me an accident because it happened when I was driving in the highway. Luckily I was able to exit right away and avert any diffiulties getting help at the side of the road. I brought it to a dealership which recommended the replacement of the transmission.

There has been an intermittent grinding noise and shudder in the transmission between 35-45 miles and hour in 5th gear. This is a known issue in Acura Mdx 2002 and has been issued a recall for other VIN # 's but mine is not included in the recall even though it has the same symptoms. I am worried that it will lock up and cause an accident but the dealer and Acura have so far refused to fix the issue.

When in d5 driving between 30-45 mph at 1500 rpms the transmission makes a vibration/dull-grinding noise intermittently. It seems to force itself into 5th gear at low-speeds, and then lugs the engine and returns to 3rd or 4th gear after a few seconds. Its affects the performance of the engine, and is wearing out the auto-transmission quickly. Why isn't there a recall for this issue if its as prevalent as it seems? I wouldn't have purchased the car if I noticed this problem before-hand.
