Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving in a center lane about 45 mph in my 2001 acura mdx when the front wheels locked up and the car went into a skid and came to a complete stop. within seconds, the lady behind me ran into me causing damage to the front of her vehicle and the rear of my car. neither of our airbags went off. the other women said her knee was hurting, but she did not request any medical attention at the scene of the accident. there were no other injuries. there was no warning, no strange noises, no jerky actions - the front wheels just stopped. the car was taken to the local honda dealer and acura was contacted. the transmission had broken and acura arranged to have the vehicle transported to the closest dealership which was oklahoma city. the dealership replaced the transmission (and the front wheels after i inquired about a flat spot because of the skid) and transported the vehicle back to amarillo to have the body work done. acura has not assumed any responsibility for the damage done by the accident. they were good about assisting in the replacement of the transmission and tires. they have also agreed to pay for a rental vehicle while my car was out of commission. *nm
