2004 Acura MDX Engine Problems

“On 11.11.11,our Acura lost power coinciding with the dashboard warning lights not functioning properly to warn of the sudden loss of control, heavy smoke emission, transmission failure,engine damage & inability to drive our vehicle, creating the possibility of a crash, injury or fatality. …”

“There is a grind/ roaring sound when I am going about 40 MPH. It definitely sounds like the transmission. I researched it on line and have determined that thousand of people like my self are experiencing the same issues, but honda has not recalled these cars. My question is does someone's transmission have to cause an accident and possibly a fatality before this issue is handled.

“I was pulling into drive way when I shut off truck took keys out, shut door, as garage door was opening. Car started rolling back... I opened door tried to press on emerg.

As if it had shifted into neutral. …”

“I was told my radiator bladder exploded causing all fluids to mix, thus I now need a new radiator and a new transmission, cost of repair is $4600. My 04 MDX has 137k this should not happen, there are numerous cases of this same issue all over the internet Acura forums, why has there not been a recall on this issue, there is clearly an issue with the radiators. I need to have the radiator replaced, all fluids drained and then flushed 5-8 times to ensure all the contamination is gone, then new fluids put back in along with a replacement transmission. …”
