| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had just picked up our acura mdx that morning after getting a maintenance check-up completed. later that day after picking up my son the check engine light turned on and for some reason the light that illuminates around the gear the car is driving in was blinking. it seemed like the car was going haywire. after all that, the car suddenly starts to surge and is having a difficult time accelerating. i called the dealership and was told to bring it over immediatly. each time the car was at a stop the car would not accelerate properly even if i had pushed down on the gas pedal all the way. the car barely made it half way up the drive way and i ended up just leaving it right there. the mdx has cut-off while driving about 5-8 mph, about 4-5 times now. the mdx has had a history of stalling and all indicator lights turning on while driving. before the transmission failed, the mdx has had the egr valve replaced due to another stall after the engine was running for sometime already. the mdx did have a jet kit installed at 76,847 miles, but after 16,248 miles the transmission failed and replaced and i got billed for it. i believe that the transmission should have been replaced in addition to the jet kit and should be covered by acura since they put out a defective transmission. |
