| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My wife was driving our 2002 acura mdx about 35-40 mph when the car locked up like the brakes were slammed on. car was immobile and could not be pushed off the roadway until the arrival of a tow truck. dealer now has the car and says it was transmission failure. symtoms are the same as discribed as failures in a recall of this vehicle. recall work was done about 5000 miles ago in which an oiling device was installed to correct the problem. failure occured anyway after the correction. my contention is that the required inspection of the gears was not performed correctly and the "fix" was performed instead. the dealer says i may be liable for 4500 dollars to replace the defective transmission because it has 101000 miles on it and they only warrenty it to 100000. if the problem was recognized at 96000 when the recall work was done, i wouldn't be in this predicament- thanks |
