1ST OCCURRENCE) DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH 2011, THE CAR STARTED JERKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT WOULD SPEED UP THEN LOSE POWER. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STOP THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO PUT IT ON A MACHINE THAT SHOWED I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I PAID $2,800 FOR A REBUILT 90 DAY WARRANTY TRANSMISSION. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO BRING AWARENESS TO THIS ISSUE ALONG WITH REIMBURSING CUSTOMERS FOR HAVING TO SPEND THEIR MONEY REPEATEDLY FOR ISSUES THAT KEEP OCCURRING. I NEED HELP IN FINDING OUT HOW I CAN SUBMIT A CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE COST OF HONDA'S FAULTY MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

MY MDX SHAKES WHILE DRIVING NOT SPECIFIC TO ACCELERATION, BUT PERIODICALLY IT WILL SHAKE SEVERELY FOR A FEW SECONDS AND STOP WITH NO INTERVENTION FROM ME. I DO NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP WHEN THIS HARD SHAKING OCCURS--COURSE IT'S NORMAL FOR ME BUT MY PASSENGERS ARE STARTLED AND CONCERNED. THIS MDX HAS BEE DOING THIS FOR YEARS. DEALER SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. OTHER REPAIR FACILITIES HAVE INVESTIGATED AND TRIED REPAIRS THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS MDX ALSO "GROWLS" THERE IS A LOUD SOUND THAT IS HEARD WHILE DRIVING THAT ENDS WITH THE VEHICLE NEARLY STALLING OUT BUT I CONTINUE TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT HAS SO FAR NOT STALLED. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER ALSO DURING THE INSPECTION FOR SEVERE SHAKING AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS 4 YEARS AGO AND I AM STILL DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THESE CONCERNS. SINCE THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINTS OF SHAKING AND LOUD GROWLING SOUNDS I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER. WHEN I WANTED TO PUT THE GEAR IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT GO. THERE WAS SOMETHING PREVENTING IT FROM MOVING-LOCKED MAYBE? I USED THE KEY RELEASE FOR THE GEAR AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO START THE ENGINE AND THEN INTO DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY MAYBE A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR SO FAR. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE INVESTIGATED. I STARTED TO HEAR FRONT END SOUNDS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP. SINCE THAT DEALERSHIP AND I HAD A MUTUAL DISAGREEMENT THAT WAS DISTASTEFUL ENOUGH TO CAUSE ME NOT TO RETURN THERE I HAVE TOLERATED THE CLUNKING SOUNDS FROM MY FRONT END. NOW THAT PARTICULAR DEALER IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS (SOLD THE FRANCHISE) I AM BRINGING MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR POSSIBLE INVESTIGATION OF THE FRONT-END NOISE. *TR
