I have had the car under a year and heard a rumble strip noise, figured it was a loose shield underneath car. Read online found it's the torque converter which put transmissions out of these, they are not covered by Acura. wtf

MDX Touring 3.5L Vtec

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150,000 miles

There is a rumbling noise at about 40-45 miles per hour. Usually I let off of the accelerator and it goes away, but sometimes it takes several times to clear it up. I would like Acura to issue a recall for this problem. Really don't know if the transmission will just go out and cause a wreck.

MDX MDX 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

Had the car truck for 10 years with only 80K miles. Truck started to make noise driving at 35 to 45 mph. Making a grinding noise, took it to the dealer and they could not find the issue. I Google online and found that lots of complaint about the torque converter issue with model 2003-2007 MDX. Don't know why this was not a recall from Honda corp. to fix the problem. Call the the local Acura dealer to have it fixed, they said it might cost me $3k to fix the issue??? What happened to goodwill service from them or help out the loyal Acura customers?

MDX ES 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 120,000 miles

Transmission makes a grinding sound when driven in D5. Usually occurs around 35-45 but also have had same problem at highway speeds. Sounds like it's grinding a gear. Application of throttle usually quiets the noise temporarily. Have been able to shift into D4 for normal driving and have not had as much of an issue.
