Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Acura claimed to fix my transmission, as per the recalls that were made on 2001-2002 acura mdx's. they obviously did not fix what they needed to. yesterday as i was driving i noticed that the transmission would shift to different gears on its own!! for example i would be in d5 a drive gear. sometimes it would shift itself to neutral, and sometimes to d4,3. this is extremely dangerous as it can cause accidents if this were to happen at inopportune times. i just got off the phone with acura and they said that they fixed what was necessary to be fixed when i brought the car in 1-2 years ago. this is unacceptable and i feel that the nhtsa should be doing something about this potentially fatal issue with this car. i was told to wait for a manager to come back in this wednesday july 5th. my acura dealership is located in roslyn, ny; called rallye acura. this car is a p.o.s., and i would like to know if there are any class action lawsuits against acura for this car. i have found out that there are numerous design flaws in the 2001-2002 mdx transmissions. please help to force acura to resolve this issue as they are not being cooperative nor careful, which i feel is outrageous due to the dangerous nature of this transmission issue. also, i do not want a "refurbished or rebuilt" transmission which i have been informed is what they are doing. obviously whatever they are doing is not working. *nm
